In the first installment of the new David Lynch mini series, THIS AMERICAN LIFE, Heaven and Mason discuss David Lynch's childhood, his days in art school, how he came about making films, his family life, how Lynch himself sees himself as a father, and how it relates to his first film, ERASERHEAD.

Heaven and Mason dissect Lynch's reluctance to fatherhood, the Starving Artist trope, how the mentality "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps" is an American way of thinking that in order to be successful, one must have to suffer financially and work through the pain in order to achieve success, and how art is too under appreciated for artists to be respected when asking for money to make art.
