For the past several months, "Twin Peaks Cinema" has emphasized films by Twin Peaks creators themselves, from one-episode editor Mary Sweeney to various writers and directors to David Lynch himself. Now it's time to focus on the original series showrunner Mark Frost - whose work has just been explored through a brand-new interview book by David Bushman in early March (stay tuned for more of my thoughts on this treasure trove in the coming weeks and months). Frost's sole feature directorial venture - the thriller Storyville - is relevant not only to my upcoming video essay on Frost's oeuvre but also to the ongoing election season enveloping us right now. The current primary race also relates, obliquely or otherwise, to the climax of my "sixties reunion" reading series as it reaches the depoliticized generational politics of The Big Chill. Finally, my Lost in Twin Peaks episode-by-episode podcast stands on the cusp of the show's big reveal, diving into one of my favorite episodes of the entire series (it will be published in five days, but I wanted to get this cross-post up now so I can focus on video essays for the rest of the month).
And where do things stand with Journey Through Twin Peaks, which I hope to premiere within a few days? I'll address that right at the top of my main podcast episode. Thanks for your support, which helped this project come to fruition...
