  • When Dreams Speak: Richard Green on Lynch, Loss, and the Log Lady
    Feb 28 2026

    Step into a midnight conversation that moves like a roller coaster — equal parts memory, myth, and revelation. Richard Green escorts listeners through four decades of encounters with David Lynch, the surprises buried in documentary archives, and the tender, strange work of preserving a life in film: I Know Catherine the Log Lady.

    From candid backstage stories and a Kickstarter that nearly didn't happen, to a tearful promise whispered into a studio, this episode unfolds as a human story about artistry, grief, and the things we leave behind. Lean in: when Green speaks, you don't just hear an interview — you enter a dream.

  • Speeder Rides Again: The Megaforce Resurrection
    Feb 28 2026

    In this episode, a childhood dream becomes a full-throttle odyssey: Bob "Speeder" Lindenmayer returns to Cinema Yugen to tell the story of making Making Megaforce — a decade-plus pursuit to rescue lost Hollywood machines, recover fading legends, and stage one last, reckless ride into the desert. From festival triumphs to late-night campfire confessions, the conversation hums with the roar of rebuilt engines and the quiet ache of devotion.

    Through anecdotes about barroom tequila, improvised effects in a garage, and a tearful, cinematic final run alongside Barry Bostwick, the episode unfolds like a road movie in podcast form: equal parts obsession, friendship, and redemption. Tune in to feel the rumble, savor the nostalgia re-imagined, and discover why some heroes never fade — they ride forever.
