Mulholland Drive at 25, plus If I Go Will They Miss Me and You Had to Be There | #1083

October 02, 2026 / Sophie Kempenaar

Two weeks after their Pantheon Project review of David Lynch’s Blue Velvet, Adam and Josh take on the director’s 2001 mind-bender, Mulholland Drive, to celebrate its 25th anniversary. For a film with a reputation for being impenetrable, they find it surprisingly rich with clues while retaining all of its singular power. Plus, a Golden Brick nomination for If I Go Will They Miss Me, and thoughts on the new doc You Had To Be There: How the Toronto Godspell Ignited the Comedy Revolution.
