In 1993, I fell in in love with David Lynch and Mark Frost’s “wonderful and strange” show by watching reruns of Twin Peaks on Bravo TV. But that Bravo TV was the cable channel found in the United States. Two years later in April 1995, a different Bravo TV began airing reruns of the show…
In this day of streaming services and 4K Ultra HD discs, it’s wild to think Twin Peaks first aired when those things were only futuristic daydreams. In 1990-1991, the only way people could watch David Lynch and Mark Frost’s “wonderful and strange” show on a different day or time than it was broadcast was to record…
As another anniversary descends for David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, I’m returning to a series I launched two years ago titled “Reviewing Peaks.” In this series, I examine reviews of the 1992 film which several critics originally panned. This time, the late film critic for The Boston Globe, Jay Carr, offers his…
Like many Twin Peaks fans, I was saddened to hear of Piper Laurie’s passing at age 91 on October 14, 2023. Her Emmy-nominated performance as Catherine Martell in the show’s first two seasons was exceptional (her exchange with Sheriff Truman about her time on Pearl Lakes is my favorite scene). Originally named Rosetta Jacobs until the…
With the 30th Anniversary of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me on August 28 this year, I’m launching a new series titled “Reviewing Peaks.” These articles will take a look back at the reviews of David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece. At the time, many critics were not in love with the film beginning with film’s premiere at the…
What a year! As the last seconds of this unprecedented and surreal year tick away, I’m reflecting on the highlights for TwinPeaksBlog.com in 2020. This year marked the 30th Anniversary of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s masterpiece, and despite the challenges we all faced, there were damn fine moments that kept me connected with fellow…
It’s an exciting day at TwinPeaksBlog.com as another Bookhouse Boy is joining our writing staff. I met Jason McMahan virtually through our shared interest in identifying props used in David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show. Considering we’re both long-time fans of Twin Peaks, I was delighted to hear of his interest in…
One aspect of Twin Peaks that I’ve greatly enjoyed over the years of being a fan is how well mystery is mixed with some comedic relief. A true joy was seeing David Lander, famously known for playing Squiggy on Laverne & Shirley, return to the ABC Television network in Season 2 of David Lynch and…
In the folksy town of Deer Meadow, Wash., FBI Agent Desmond (Chris Isaak) inexplicably disappears while hunting for the man who murdered a teen girl. The killer is never apprehended, and, after experiencing dark visions and supernatural encounters, Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) chillingly predicts that the culprit will claim another life. Meanwhile, in the…
With Twin Peaks celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year, Showtime has been collaborating with unique designers and companies to create commemorative merchandise. In June 2020, we saw a month-long art collection on Society6. More recently, a 30th Anniversary coffee blend was released by Colorado-based Allegro Coffee. Now, London-based Milltag has launched a limited release cycling attire…
