The Epilogue Lady: Reflections on our David Lynch Series

2025/08/05

We've finally arrived at the end. Back in April, we started watching the landmark television show Twin Peaks (first viewings for both Reed and Nathan). In May, we began to make our way through the feature films of the late David Lynch. For the next three months, we would dive deep into Lynch's work. We debated, we pondered, we puzzled, we cheered, and we often simply sat in a certain degree of anxious wonder. From Eraserhead to The Straight Story, from Lost Highway to Mulholland Drive, and all the

As our concluding chapter for our coverage of Twin Peaks: The Return, we invited some friends new and old to have a roundtable discussion about the themes of the show, some of its most iconic moments, and what we feel it all adds up to. Alongside Nathan and Reed, we welcome back to the show Julie Ahern, Abby Olcese, Lindsey Dunn, and Steven Beckley for a lively and often thoughtfully vulnerable conversation about Twin Peaks: The Return.

Yesterday, we shared with you our final episode (previously only available to Patrons) charting our way through the third season of TWIN PEAKS (commonly known as The Return). It's now time to assess our broader feelings about its themes and interests. Nathan and Reed sit by themselves this week for a disarmingly thoughtful and vulnerable conversation about creativity, narrative forms, and the emotional difficulties of trying to understand the story we're living right now. There are many thoughts

For the past few months, as we've both ramped up for and made our way through our series on the work of David Lynch, our Patron subscribers have been hearing us make our way through his landmark series TWIN PEAKS. We covered every episode of the first two seasons before making our way through the revived third season (known as THE RETURN) from 2017. What we have for you this week is part 1 of a three-part discussion about this third season of Twin Peaks. To start, we submit to you the episode that

The Short Films of David Lynch

2025/07/22

In a somewhat unconventional episode this week, we tackle some of David Lynch's early short films. Specifically, his early works Six Figures Getting Sick (Six Times); The Alphabet; The Grandmother; The Amputee; The Cowboy and the Frenchman; and Lumiere, or Premonitions Following an Evil Deed. In this brisk, energetic episode, we debate the value of these early works and their influence on things we would see in his later films.

We've reached the last of the feature films for our profile of the late David Lynch with one of his earliest works. THE ELEPHANT MAN released in 1980 and followed the wildly experimental and esoteric Eraserhead with a deeply emotional story of humanity and compassion. It focuses on John Merrick (John Hurt), who suffers from severe physical deformities and spends his days as a carnival attraction for a spiteful and abusive owner. When he encounters Dr. Treves (Anthony Hopkins), he is taken into one

We've had the privilege of speaking with a number of unique voices during our series on the work of David Lynch. Today we have a special conversation with Dr Lindsay Hallam, an educator of film studies and prolific contributor to the broader discussion of horror cinema, about her book about TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME for the publication imprint Devil's Advocates.In Lindsay's book, she breaks down the numerous levels on which Lynch's once divisive film operates: as a Twin Peaks film, as a trauma

We have another special interview for you today for a feature film that's in theaters exclusively as of 7/11/25. ABRAHAM'S BOYS: A DRACULA STORY tells a tale of the aftermath of the ordeal from Bram Stoker's classic horror tale. It focuses on survivors Abraham Van Helsing (Titus Welliver) and Mina Harker (Jocelin Donahue) as they struggle to move on from the fearful torment they barely survived.

Inland Empire

2025/07/08

We're nearing the end of our series in a couple of weeks about the filmography of the late David Lynch. We turn this week to his final feature film, a wildly experimental and divisive film called INLAND EMPIRE. An exercise in cinematic experimentation to its core, Inland Empire is one of Lynch's most difficult films to figure out. It has a stream of conscience, non-linear narrative structure that often sees the same performers playing multiple roles without clear transitions from one scene to the

The next installment in our series on David Lynch was made shortly after the booming popularity of the premiere of Twin Peaks. WILD AT HEART, based on a book by Barry Gifford, tells the story of Sailor (Nicolas Cage) and Lula (Laura Dern), two exuberant and impulsive lovers who set out on a cross-country trek fleeing an array of strange characters who are all trying to kill Sailor on behalf of Lula's mother Marrieta (Diane Ladd).Although carrying some key signature aspects of Lynch's work, Wild at

The Straight Story

2025/06/24

We're continuing our series on the films of David Lynch this week with what is arguably his most unusual entry: THE STRAIGHT STORY. Lynch had built a reputation on bizarre works like Eraserhead and Lost Highway. His films were often filled with graphic sex and violence as in Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, or even Wild at Heart. So, when his gentle, elegant, G-rated Disney film was released, it turned more than a few heads and earned him some of the most broadly universal acclaim of his

Mulholland Drive

Continuing our journey through the work of the late David Lynch, we finally arrive at what is often considered his finest film. MULHOLLAND DRIVE brought Lynch some of the largest and most universal acclaim of his career. Its Los Angeles-centric mystery traverses the territories of dream logic, identity, ambition, envy, and the elusive way we all try to find ourselves. It featured a star-making performance from Naomi Watts and was nominated for numerous awards.We're joined by friend of the show

We continue our series examining the films of the late David Lynch by tackling one of his most elusive and bleak visions of sex and violence: LOST HIGHWAY. We're joined by special guest Matt Cosper to unpack the surrealist fever dream of a man trapped between two lives, two minds, and perhaps even two souls. It's a compelling portrait of the inability to cope with who we are and what we've done, traversing through wishes and memory as only David Lynch could do it. Although the film's focus on the

Blue Velvet

We arrive in our series on David Lynch at what is widely considered to be one of his greatest films. BLUE VELVET acted as a creative and cultural palate cleanser for Lynch following his strong disappointment and frustration with Dune. It sits quite effectively at the intersection of Lynch's more eccentric qualities and his more accessible qualities, offering up a story that it both elusive and coherent.

Dune (1984)

Frank Herbert's landmark science fiction novel has become more culturally central thanks to the recent blockbuster films by Denis Villeneuve adapting the story. But as we make our way through our series on the late David Lynch, we had to stop by Arrakis and grapple with his much-maligned adaptation from 1984. Featuring a massive budget (which came with lots of production demands as well), a star-studded cast, and classic 1980s sets and effects, Dune did everything it could to capture an epic

Responses were decidedly mixed, however, on the finished film, controversial as it was for missing lots of key series regulars and for focusing almost exclusively on the last week of Laura Palmer's life. Despite an outstanding performance from Sheryl Lee
