In March, I doubled up my TWIN PEAKS Character Series advances, offering six new or revised entries (they're still patron-only as of today). I also shared pieces of larger podcasts with patrons, not only the usual back half of a Twin Peaks Conversations episode but also an archive bonus for the sprawling Episode 100 (which isn't attached to a particular month and will be released at some other point, maybe piecemeal in the spring).
On the $1/month tier, the characters are a good mix: three are brand new to the third season (from three different storylines), and three are returnees from the original series: one with a cameo in The Return, one with a more sustained presence, and one is only mentioned in Mark Frost's The Final Dossier - enough to require an update. I've already advanced a few more entries in April - these round-ups are weekly now to stay a month ahead. You can check those out on Patreon too but for now I'm just rounding up the month of March...

Free to the public - since the material I'm reading aloud has already been published - my final "Opening the Archive" section is presented as a bonus episode. This also ties into my decades series that began in August, moving forward and backward from the eighties. In this case, I'm re-presenting six essays on films from the forties, thirties, and silent era: the noir Kiss of Death, Bambi (comparing the Disney film to Felix Salten's book), The Magnificent Ambersons, Three Comrades, The Mind Reader, The Battleship Potemkin, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and a collection called Landmarks of Early Film including shorts by the Lumiere brothers and Georges Melies (reviewed in tandem with Michel Gondry's Be Kind Rewind as the first piece I ever wrote for this site)...
The rest of Episode 100 is slowly being assembled; as already announced, it will consist of many full "film in focus" reviews. I've watched several, recorded a couple, and have many more to go; I'm not sure if a section or even the whole episode will be released in April but it's possible, so stay tuned. I'll link these parts in the appropriate monthly round-ups but also cross-post all of Episode 100 together when it's complete.
Finally, after discussing Andrew Grevas' unusual path through Twin Peaks, from being a five-year-old viewer in 1990 to publishing a whole stable of writers on the website 25 Years Later as The Return debuted (the entire conversation was already described and cross-posted here a week ago), I offered an additional hour of material exclusive to the $5/month tier. Here the focus is Andrew's ideas on the passage of time in Twin Peaks, combining two subjects which deeply fascinate me...
