In Twin Peaks’ third season, Sonny Jim Jones has an affinity for the wild west. From the wallpaper to the curtains to the toys beside his bed, desert plains make up the aesthetic of his bedroom. As the 2017 Showtime revival tended to be a bit more sparsely decorated than the original series, I loved…
From One-Eyed Jacks to Windom Earle’s doctored cards, playing cards have played an important role in Twin Peaks since the very beginning. It was no surprise to find them in the most recent season on Showtime. While researching the film location for the cheap motel in Buckhorn, I identified the card Mr. C shows Darya and soon…
I loved seeing the legendary Don Murray play Bushnell Mullins, Dougie Jones’ boss at Lucky 7 Insurance, in Season 3 of Twin Peaks. Thanks to a giant framed poster behind Mullins’ desk at Lucky 7, we get some insight into his character. Now that some time has passed since Season 3 ended (and those Non-Disclosure Agreements…
The Rancho Rosa Estates film location tour wraps up with a scene from Twin Peaks Part 5. A group of five thieves (or punks if you’d prefer) attempt to steal Dougie Jones’ vehicle and get a rather enlightening surprise. Thanks to the Behind the Curtain footage from the Twin Peaks – From Z to A Collection, we…
The Drugged-out mother shouting “One one… nine! One one nine!” is one of the more memorable scenes from Twin Peaks Season 3 that is burned in my memory. This film location appears in three episodes – Parts 3, 5, and 6 – and takes place across the street from Dougie Jones’ love nest in Rancho…
The exploration of film locations used for Rancho Rosa Estates continues with a look at hitmen Gene and Jake’s stakeout outside Dougie Jones’ love nest. I’ve previously discussed the exact location of the house in Palmdale, California, but I wanted to take a deeper look at two specific scenes in Parts 3 and 5 on…
In Twin Peaks – Part 3 on Showtime, we’re introduced to Dougie Jones who shares a delightful afternoon with Jade at an empty home in Rancho Rosa Estates outside Las Vegas, Nevada. In reality, we are at a housing community from the 2000s in the desert town of Palmdale, California.
When I set out to document every film location in Twin Peaks, I really meant EVERY location no matter how brief the scene. For this article, I examine a brief interaction between Gene and Lorraine in Part 5 on Showtime. Thanks to incredible Behind the Curtain videos on the Twin Peaks – From Z to…
I would love to see the mind of Special Agent Dale Cooper in action. You know, like a Twin Peaks version of Disney-Pixar’s Inside Out (I mean Kyle MacLachlan did voice Riley’s dad in that film). The closest I’m going to get is new artwork from Geo Law that is part of a collaboration with Society6 celebrating…
After Becky Burnett delivers bread to Toad at the Double R Diner in Twin Peaks – Part 5 on Showtime, she meets up with her husband Steven where they share a moment behind the restaurant. This scene was filmed along the side and rear parking lot at Twede’s Cafe in Washington state on September 15, 2015.
