As the steady march towards a complete focus on Journey Through Twin Peaks continues, I've been focusing on my Lost in Twin Peaks rewatch podcast, and am now almost done with all the episodes that will come out this winter before Journey. Unfortunately this means I had to postpone many of the features I planned to include in my main Patreon podcast, so expect a mega-episode in January covering multiple films by Twin Peaks episode directors, capsules on most of the movies I watched last year, podcast recommendations, listener feedback, and more. For now I pared "Twin Peaks Cinema" down to a single episode director: Tim Hunter, whose film River's Edge preceded his work on the series by three years, sharing striking similarities with the later show. Most obviously, it features a dead girl found near a body of water, whose murder destabilizes the community (or exposes already existing fissures), particularly effecting a group of teenagers in disparate ways. Elsewhere in this episode, I continue my studies of Peaks characters, locations, and storylines, while kicking off a new "Opening the Archive" reading series on baby boomers, the sixties, and (eventually) The Big Chill and Return of the Secaucus Seven, anticipating my video essay on the subject in a few months.
Here's my latest Lost in Twin Peaks entry (for $5/month patrons) on the first non-Lynch episode of season two...
And I close off the year with my sixth "Twin Peaks Cinema" study on the $1/month Lost in the Movies podcast...
Finally, my rewatch of one of the most underrated episodes of season one is now available to all patrons...
