"Did I ever tell ya that this here jacket represents a symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom?"
"About fifty thousand times."
-- Sailor Ripley and Lula Pace Fortune, Wild at Heart
It is happening again...My co-host with the most Xan Sprouse and I are back with a new episode of Ghostwood: The Twin Peaks Podcast! In this episode, we discuss Wild at Heart, the 1990 romantic crime film written and directed by David Lynch, starring Nicolas Cage as Sailor Ripley, Laura Dern as Lula Pace Fortune, Diane Ladd as Marietta Fortune, and Willem Dafoe as Bobby Peru!
