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…
Somewhat. As I understand it, the book is a “backstory”/prequel that fills the gaps between the ending of the last episode and the new season. Some things that are detailed in the book (like SPOILER Pete dying in the bank…
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…
WOW BOB WOW. I’ve been diving in and revisiting one of my favorite shows ever, Twin Peaks, thanks to the just released Bluray set. Titled The Complete Mystery, the set has every episode of the series, the Fire Walk With…
I’m a pop culture whore. There’s so much that our industrial entertainment complex has come up with that I enjoy – Star Trek, Doctor Who, Man from U.N.C.L.E., The Prisoner, Breaking Bad… dozens and dozens of great shows and films…
He became a beef and chicken importer/exporter in Shreveport, Louisiana. OK, no… he didn't do THAT, but the only answer we can say with any degree of certainty is he left Twin Peaks to "see the world." And why wouldn't…
It was over 20 years ago that David Lynch and Mark Frost created one of the seminal television series, a post-modern twist on the soap opera that had the whole world talking. And now, two decades later, Twin Peaks has…
“The past isn’t dead.” Revisiting well-remembered films in this Neglected Cinema series is like a crapshoot. Sometimes movies I loved on first viewing I find merely likeable, and other times I discover old favorites are, with the passage of time,…
I think so, but it may be a while… and a new “season” of Twin Peaks would be markedly different from what has come before if it ever does happen.The DVDs have been selling consistently well since the Gold Box…
