Which doubles do you think the Veronique/Weronika pair corresponds to most closely in Twin Peaks? Maddy and Laura? Dougie and Mr. C? Laura and Carrie? Another duo entirely? I share my own thoughts this month - including much broader, looser, and poetic links between Lynch's and Kieslowski's 1991 productions - but I'd love to hear yours.
The $5/month patrons reach the end of my first season rewatch this month as I discuss Mark Frost's shining solo moment in Twin Peaks (addressing his directorial debut on Hill Street Blues in the mix). And then take a deep breath, because on the first day of October we'll be diving right into this episode's eerie, mirror-image doppelganger as season two begins...
With The Double Life of Veronique anchoring my main podcast for September, I also reflect on a trio of characters, a couple locations, and a storyline linked to the first regular episode of Twin Peaks, using the Access Guide book as a correspondent to the Packard Saw Mill fire plot. And the "Opening the Archive" favorites series cracks my top ten, leaving just one for next month...
And I unlocked my Lost in Twin Peaks coverage of the pilot's follow-up for all patrons...
