After last month's epic, eleven-hour episode (split into many parts), my February podcast is a much simpler affair. Clocking in at less than an hour, it centers on what is, in turn, a simple film: Mary Sweeney's independent drama Baraboo, set in a small town around the turn of the last decade. As a key Lynch collaborator from the killer's reveal episode of Twin Peaks to Mulholland Drive (and most relevantly on The Straight Story), the writer/editor's voice is interesting to unpack - but there are also surprising connections to season three, which she was not involved with. Meanwhile my "sixties reunion" reading series continues with another quiet rural independent film (in this case Return of the Secaucus Seven), and my Lost in Twin Peaks rewatch reaches one of the most underrated episodes of season two.
