JANUARY
Relatively short but full of compelling tangents, a discussion placing Lynch inside Western geography and mythos, plus some other year-end updates including the past year seen through different generations
I join a panel of guests to break down scenes from the original Twin Peaks series, Fire Walk With Me, The Return, and Mulholland Drive using a variety of formal lenses including sound, cinematography, and editing
During its month of darkness, northern Alaska experiences a mysterious mass death which may have supernatural overtones - resuming my True Detective viewing diary exclusively for patrons, I cover the Jodie Foster-led fourth season episode-by-episode
A busy month includes my first patron poll to chose the first subject of my new podcast, in this case a dazzling Technicolor ballet world romance (other rewards include musings on 2023 through different generations)
FEBRUARY
A decade after randomly picking up a book of Twin Peaks essays and deciding to re-watch the series, I'm still completely immersed in that world
MARCH
Wrapping up the snowy climax of an absorbing TV mystery is the priority for this month
Todd Haynes' bemused, poignant meditation on fame, performance, marriage, and the nature of abuse was the patron pick this month, launching the podcast's focus on contemporary cinema that would continue for most of the year
nothing on the main site for APRIL

A sequel to the earlier analysis of four different scene, this time we're gathered together to focus on a single scene - the final passage of Twin Peaks: The Return Part 18

May 2024 Patreon round-up: EXCLUSIVE - Films in Focus podcast #3: The Zone of Interest + TWIN PEAKS Character Series advance
One of the most powerful films of the previous or any other year provides - through the family life of an Auschwitz commandant - a deeply upsetting portrait of how casually a genocide was (and still is) conducted
With my public emphasis entirely on Twin Peaks these days, I re-package a side-episode of Lost in Twin Peaks to discuss the content and context of the pilot's "closed ending" featuring BOB, MIKE, and the Red Room
The Impossible Life of Robert Jacoby, 1927/31/40 - 1969/86? • discussion w/ Creamed Corn and the Universe podcast
One of the more obscure yet fascinating characters from The Secret History of Twin Peaks has a chronology which makes absolutely no sense, creating paradoxes which host Colin and I relish digging into
