"Don't tailgate! Don't you fucking ever tailgate! Do you know how much space is needed to stop a car traveling at 35 miles per hour? Six car lengths! Six fuckin' car lengths! That's a hundred and six fuckin' feet, mister! If I had to stop suddenly, you woulda hit me! I want you to get a fuckin' driver's manual, and I want you to study that motherfucker! And I want you to obey the the goddamn rules of the road! Fifty-fuckin' thousand people were killed on the highways last year 'cause of fuckin' assholes like you! Tell me you're gonna get a manual!"
-- Mr. Eddy, Lost Highway
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 Lost Highway, the 1997 Neo-noir film co-written and directed by David Lynch, starring Bill Pullman as Fred Madison, Patricia Arquette as Renee Madison & Alice Wakefield, Balthazar Getty as Pete Dayton, Robert Blake as Mystery Man, and Robert Loggia as Mr. Eddy!
