I watched “Eraserhead” a few years ago when it was streaming on Netflix. I watched directly on the computer and can’t say I have been looking forward to watch it again, but will put up with another screening with you guys. I’d probably get more out of it this time watching in the theater and after reading some of the various analysis after watching last time in an attempt to understand what I saw.
Every October I also do an annual screening of “The Shining” which so far has always just been me – I cant get any of my friends (or my wife) to watch it. Let me know if you are interested in watching that and I can set something up. I’ve also been looking forward to the documentary Room 237 which just came out on DVD today and it looks like is available today on Netflix streaming. A double feature would be fun but would clock in at over 4 hours.
Chad, I don’t know if that invite extends to me as well, but a double-feature of The Shining and Room 237 would be an absolute blast! And it would make a great Halloween episode too!
Of course you are invited.
