Description
The films of David Lynch can be intimidating, but Maggie Mae Fish and Adam Ganser are here to help you explore them, from his least-Lynch (The Straight Story) to most-Lynch (Inland Empire, probably?). In each episode of this season, Maggie and Adam discuss a different Lynch film--except for Twin Peaks, since that is its own whole thing. Whether you're a newbie or a superfan, you'll enjoy this informative, accessible, in-depth exploration of the world of David Lynch.

David Lynch's Lost Highway
2026/08/11
In this episode, Maggie and Adam cover the Lynch film that is maybe the most (literally) dark: Lost Highway (1997).
CONTENT WARNING for language and depictions of sexual situations.
LynchPins is a David Lynch-themed podcast covering a different David Lynch film each month, from least-Lynchian (The Straight Story) to his most "Lynch" work (Inland Empire?? Eraserhead??). Hopefully we can make Lynch's work more accessible to those who've been too intimidated to get into him, but there's also plenty here for the Lynch superfan (you know who you are, you weirdo). Hosted by Maggie Mae Fish and Adam Ganser.
Every episode on Nebula is uncensored and extended, plus they drop earlier than YouTube.
Join us next time for Eraserhead (1977).

In this episode of LynchPins, Maggie and Adam cover David Lynch's 1984 space opera, DUNE, starring Kyle McLachlan and a pug dog. It’s a bombastic, weird, confusingly paced adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic novel. It's no Star Wars! But can we find something to love about it??
