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…

As 2019 draws to a close, I’m reflecting on an amazing year for TwinPeaksBlog.com. From returning to the Pacific Northwest after a 23-year hiatus to meeting Ray Wise and Sheryl Lee in my hometown of Columbus, Ohio, this year reaffirmed why exactly I launched this Blog in February 2018. Twin Peaks is still very much alive,…
Columbus, Ohio is the last place I thought I’d meet Ray Wise (Leland Palmer) and Sheryl Lee (Laura Palmer). Born and raised in the capitol city, I fell in love with my favorite David Lynch film in the early 1990s. Imagine my delight when I learned that Studio 35 Cinema was planning a weekend of…
After finishing dinner last night, I retired to my bedroom to get caught up on happenings of the day via Twitter. While scrolling through my timeline, my heart sank upon seeing a tweet from the Los Angeles Times Movie News – “Actress Peggy Lipton, star of ‘The Mod Squad’ and ‘Twin Peaks,’ dies at 72.”…
Ten months ago today, I published my first article on TwinPeaksBlog.com. While I had been considering starting a blog about my favorite television show for several months, I had several concerns.
