JANUARY
Unexpected though not shocking given his declining health, Lynch's death provokes some written reflections and a short solo podcast tribute before...
I join Cameron Cloutier and a panel of other guests to commemorate the late director's work
Economic development and traditional living clash in rural Japan, building toward a crisis
nothing on the main site for FEBRUARY
(second silent month during this period)
MARCH
Finally resuming my episodic coverage as Walter White's operation expands far beyond cooking meth for experienced dealers to sell (plus, I preview all remaining images accompanying a Twin Peaks podcast)
A confused adolescent's coming of age in an English countryside, caught between ancient paganism and the nuclear era
APRIL
What future public projects am I working on behind the scenes of my Patreon output?
April 2025 Patreon round-up: EXCLUSIVE - Breaking Bad season 2 viewing diary (second part) + Advanced narration audio (& bonus still image) for Journey Through Twin Peaks
Walter rises while much around him falls in the dynamic back half of season two - and I also share some more written work for my decade-plus video project
2000 Posts on Lost in the Movies
MAY
Nine years after the first thousand, I mark another milestone
May 2025 Patreon round-up: EXCLUSIVE - Films in Focus podcast #9: Eve's Bayou
Kasi Lemmon's earthy melodrama, with more than a touch of magic, explores troubled family dynamics in a remote, close-knit early sixties Southern community
Filling gaps in my otherwise thorough Star Wars coverage, I finally catch up with the two most recent - but half-decade-old - features, one clumsily wrapping up the sequel trilogy while another develops a major character's origin story
July 2025 Patreon round-up: EXCLUSIVE - Films in Focus podcast #10: Anora
TWIN PEAKS CONVERSATIONS bonus podcast premieres tonight w/ David Lynch's American Dreamscape author Mike Miley (YouTube & extended PATREON)
Imaginatively linking Lynch's work to various books and musical movements, Miley's analysis leads to a great discussion of everything from the teen tragedy ballad to the illustrative approach of Maurice Sendak
August 2025 Patreon round-up including Advanced Script for Journey Through Twin Peaks narration & Twin Peaks Conversations podcast
The Lynch/Americana theme continues as I preview my own writing on that subject, among other patron rewards
belated September 2025 Patreon round-up: EXCLUSIVE - Films in Focus podcast #11: Compliance + TWIN PEAKS Character Series advance
Harrowing and maddening in its depiction of instinctive obedience to authority (even imposter authority), Compliance depicts the true story of a fast food restaurant convulsed by a prank caller - meanwhile, I preview the first of my Peaks character entries to crack the top ten
belated October 2025 Patreon round-up: EXCLUSIVE - Conversation on Andor w/ Riley MacDonald + Advanced Script for Mirrors of Kane narration
Historically grounded and politically sophisticated, both seasons of Tony Gilroy's prequel series to Rogue One - itself a prequel to Star Wars - are the subject of a lengthy exchange with a return guest from my podcast on The Lighthouse; in this case the discussion is transcribed rather than presented in audio form (meanwhile, I preview my first work on the Citizen Kane series in four years)
November 2025 Patreon round-up: EXCLUSIVE - Films in Focus podcast #12: The Damned + Advanced Script for Mirrors of Kane narration (w/ Majority Report call-in opposing Chris Pappas)
Nazis battle aristocrats for political and economic power in the early days of Hitler's rise, depicted by Luchino Visconti in all its intrigue and decadence - plus, one of the more political of my Kane subjects is previewed and I share a call I made to a podcast on a current political subject
TWIN PEAKS CONVERSATIONS bonus podcast premieres tonight on Jane Austen's 250th birthday w/ Manners & Madness hosts Maya Adkins & Christian Cabrera (YouTube & extended PATREON)
The Regency era novelist and late twentieth-century filmmaker make an unusual but compelling pair in my discussion with podcasters who dive deeply into both bodies of work

December 2025 Patreon round-up: 2025 American Generations Reflections + Advanced Script for Mirrors of Kane narration & Twin Peaks Conversations podcast
The year ends, and with it the practice of my monthly Patreon round-ups (from now on, seasonal updates on public works-in-progress will also include links to several months' Patreon rewards) - we close with my third write-up on 2020s politics and culture seen through a generational lens
JULY
The most recent Best Picture is selected as my latest topic by patrons, spurring a lengthy exploration of onscreen relationship dynamics, continuity of theme with Sean Baker's earlier The Florida Project, and the film's (emphasis on film) stylish texture
AUGUST
Imaginatively linking Lynch's work to various books and musical movements, Miley's analysis leads to a great discussion of everything from the teen tragedy ballad to the illustrative approach of Maurice Sendak
