Friend of the show and Lions Led by Donkeys host Joe Kassabian talks to Francis about his latest book The Highlands Burn.

This week, and for many weeks in the future, Jack joins Francis to watch through Twin Peaks. Why is it different from every other millennial podcasters who have already done this? Because Francis knows nothing about it, and Jack is a rabid fan of the series. For this episode we talk about our relationships with David Lynch movies, and dig into the opening episode of the series that inspired everything that came after. Future episodes will be available at the 3$ level of the Patreon. And I promise we're gonna do it all, through the weird and the bad. If you like this and want more, consider giving to the Patreon.

This is a preview of our bonus episode. To hear the full episode, sign up today at https://www.patreon.com/Hellofawaytodie This week Eric Peacock from SoundTracker joins Francis one again to take in some Musical Theater. From the Golden Age of Musicals, we watch Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954). Seven mountain man brothers need wives and when courtin' fails they resort to kidnappin'. Filmed in beautiful cinemascope and filled with acrobatic dance fights (and quite a few brawls), this movie manages to be fun and entertaining seventy years later, if just slightly problematic.
