Blue Velvet – Darkness Found Me First

NOTE: This episode contains spoilers. If you haven’t seen the film yet, you might want to hit pause and come back when you’re ready.

This episode dives deep into David Lynch’s Blue Velvet, a film that peels back the polished layers of suburbia to reveal the chaos crawling underneath. We explore themes of voyeurism, suppressed violence, and the illusion of innocence, examining how Jeffrey Beaumont’s descent reflects our own discomfort with the truth. In Lumberton, the birds chirp, the lawns are green… and the rot never left.
