Have you ever paused to think about why you design or create? Why some of us are drawn to pen and paper, to the hum of a computer, to the intricacies of 3D models, or the rhythm of a well-crafted…
I previously wrote about my favorite films of the last decade here. This inspired me to think about the shows I most enjoyed over the past ten years. As I previously noted, these are personal favorites, and I’m sure there…
This past week I was reading Twitter feeds, which is my favorite way of wasting time, and I saw this post: Seeing the Star Wars movies does not make you a Star Wars fan. Actual Star Wars fans have done…
While I am not a fan of “explainer” videos (where a so-called-expert produces a Youtube clip that details the true “meaning” behind a piece of pop culture) I recently discovered a video on Twin Peaks that gave me pause. It’s…
It was 1992, and I was doing audio/video stuff for Dragon Con. I was running a camera on the main stage, and the footage I shot was not only recorded for resale (on VHS!) but also streamed to hotel rooms…
I was young and stupid in the early 90s. I had a lot of really cool collectibles and comics, but I also did not have much money. So I did what I’ve had to do a couple of times since…
“Man… woman… birth… death… Infinity.” Opening to Ben Casey So, we finally have an ending. And it’s one that is both perfect and maddening simultaneously. When you look of pop culture today, you see a world of sequels, reboots and…

Today is the day that Dale Cooper first arrived in the two of Twin Peaks – “Diane, 11:30 am, February 24th. Entering the town of Twin Peaks…” Fans around the world celebrate it as “Twin Peaks Day” and all over…
Yes, because it’s not the destination… it’s the journey. If someone told you before you saw Citizen Kane that Rosebud was a sled, you still should watch Citizen Kane…. Heck, you MUST watch Citizen Kane, because it is a seminal…
A cult TV series is any show that has a dedicated and loyal audience. So, a better question may be, “Why does Twin Peaks STILL have a dedicated and loyal audience, 25 years later? In my opinion there are three…
When Twin Peaks exploded as a pop culture phenomenon in 1991, ABC and Lynch/Frost Productions took full advantage by releasing the show’s soundtrack, The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer, a Guide to Twin Peaks, and – of course – by starting a fan…
From 1990/1991. Enjoy.
Lost in all the excitement of the Twin Peaks revival is the fact that David Lynch and Mark Frost did more than just Twin Peaks together. They did a fantastic documentary series called American Chronicles… and a sitcom named On The Air.…
Since this is National “Twin Peaks is Coming Back” week, I’m gonna just keep posting cool paperwork and articles from when the show first aired. Here’s a great satirical portrait that was in an issue of Entertainment Weekly: Here’s the…
Social media is exploding with this story today, and rightly so: Twin Peaks, the series that inspired much of the great TV drama that we have enjoyed for decades, will return to the airwaves on Showtime in 2016. Not to go into too…
