As with Halloween, I'm taking a breather between massive omnibus decade studies for a slimmer holiday-themed episode that still maintains the latest decade theme. In this case, I'm continuing my sixties coverage by exploring a favorite Christmas/New Year's comedy - Billy Wilder's iconic The Apartment - in a full review alongside shorter capsules on classic cartoon specials from the era. I'm also diving deep into my plans for the coming week and (depending how that goes) year. And I received some great written feedback from last month's guest, who has more thoughts to offer on Southland Tales and 300 alongside a number of other zeroes films I discussed in that episode.
To wrap up the year, I'll be offering three more character studies just for patrons (these entries aren't ready yet at the time of this cross-post but will be linked here as soon as they are). Behind the scenes, I'm hoping to plunge deep into a backlog over the next week so that I can finally justify prioritizing this series for public release come 2023. Patrons will continue to receive access to full pieces at least a month ahead at that point.

December's Twin Peaks Conversations was cross-posted on Patreon a week ago but here's the official $5/month reward on its own. The second part of the discussion runs fifty-two minutes and dives deeper into the details of my guests' unique experiences with Twin Peaks and Neon Genesis Evangelion (one of them started with The Return, the other with the "Rebuild" films) - and what we each see as connections between the two works.
