Welcome back to another episode of The Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast where my guest is Tony Cogan from Coogs Reviews who asks me why I hadn’t seen the Elephant Man, quite possibly David Lynch’s most accessible film to date about the life of Joseph Merrick from the point of view of doctor Frederick Treves.
