This episode wraps up my "Twin Peaks Cinema" miniseries, in which I discussed a dozen films directed by Twin Peaks episode directors (in this podcast episode, James Foley, Jonathan Sanger, and Stephen Gyllenhaal following entries in September, January, and May) along with a film directed by Peaks co-creator Mark Frost and a film written by Peaks writer Robert Engels (also in this episode). There's still more where that came from, though: the original Patreon episode in which most of this coverage was packed together also includes a deep dive into an arc of the 1990 series Wiseguy, which Engels wrote in tribute to Twin Peaks, so check that out if you haven't had enough yet. And "Twin Peaks Cinema" is just getting started (publicly, anyway, it's been going on over at Patreon for two years). I will be opening this up as its own monthly public podcast in October, with a dedicated stream just for comparisons between Twin Peaks and various movies (for the most part, by non-affiliated creators, aside from some Lynch films eventually - this episode director miniseries is a bit apart from the rest of the material). For now, you can find out what a sun-baked neo-noir, a World War II spy thriller, a racially-charged custody dispute, and a time warp supernatural slayer have in common not just with Peaks overall but with the particular episodes their directors helmed. Some of the connections are pretty surprising!
