Everyone has their own Twin Peaks questions, and here are some of mine. (Round 1)

Few works grip an audience more deeply, and lastingly, than David Lynch’s. Can his persuasion skills be unpacked?

This episode features a story that maybe one or two people will enjoy. The aftermath of a darker period can sometimes be a little bit tenuous because we don't want to go back to that dark period, nor do we want to bury it completely -- nor do we want to remain stuck in place, afraid or otherwise. Revisiting this story after many years was interesting, and in many ways it reminds me of my relationship with The Return, oddly enough.

In this two-part chat with film analyst Joel Bocko (Lost in the Movies), we speak in depth about his own work before turning our attention to Twin Peaks. Part 1 explores Joel's productivity methods, his prolific output of Twin Peaks analysis, and his influences and accomplishments as a video essayist. In Part 2 (a play-along-at-home section), Joel graciously fields “exactly” 430 questions about that show we all like. You can support Joel and his damn fine work ⁠here⁠:...

Here is a brief “interview” of Colin James (“Creamed Corn & the Universe” podcast) that I was able to sneak in at the end of a nice chat about the Mitchum Brothers. In this segment, Colin insightfully answers various impromptu questions about Twin Peaks and his own approach to character analysis. Please find Colin and his podcast online at @YouStoleTheCorn *The A.I. introduction made with ElevenLabs : ) Thanks again to Colin, and thank you for listening.

Thank you to (Ai) Mr. C for voicing my attempt at a modern Traveler's Tale (the kind Chaucer wrote). The rhyme scheme is 10-syllable couplets, and the story is both timeless and strange. Audio borrowed from Josef P. The Dark Father’s Tale Our story in many ways is timeless But also out-of-time, mysterious. A quest of sorts ‘cross place & dimension Of wants (not needs) beyond comprehension. Reroutings, misdirections, lost bearings; Enemies, allies, spooks, & red herrings. A...

These comments from John Thorne were extremely interesting to me - for multiple reasons. One reason, which we discuss in an earlier part, is the possibility (*and without the script we'll never know) that John's path might have echoed the Fireman's, i.e., by needing to be reimagined very late in the game.

John Thorne discusses over 20 "missing pieces" from his acclaimed book, "Ominous Whoosh: A Wandering Mind Returns to Twin Peaks" (http://tiny.cc/d270vz).
