My guest today on MEANWHILE is non other than Twin Peaks co-creator Mark Frost.
Mark talks to me about his childhood, his early career, TWIN PEAKS, ON THE AIR, writing the TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN with David Lynch, his new novel THE YANKEE SPHINX, and talks me off the ledge a couple of times.
In this moment, I am very much living inside a dream. Be Warned: plenty of TWIN PEAKS spoilers lay within.

This week on MEANWHILE, Eric's taking a breather by doing more work. This time out, everybody wins, because he gets to talk to the great DANA GOULD!

Twin Peaks: The Return, Part 5, "Case files."
This time out Dan and Eric discuss the fifth part of what might possibly be David Lynch's Magnus Opus, Twin Peaks: The Return. Of course, for an artist who has released a succession of masterpieces that is a tall order. But who says we have to rank everything? Who was it? Anthony Fantano?

Twin Peaks: The Return, Part 4, "...brings back some memories."
Today on Meanwhile, we are hitting some mega-jackpots. We are talk about surveillance, giving Mark Frost proper credit for Denise Bryson, time-travelling characters, Mad Men, and Mr. C weird slow-mo talking. Plus the age old question: is that Bobby scene supposed to be funny?  I bet we got into a lot more, too, but I am so tired typing this. 
Oh, and I made a mistake when I referemced, "The Five Grandfathers," when I should have said, "The SIX Grandfathers." Yet, again, another instance of 6 or 7 in Twin Peaks.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Part 2
If you thought the first portion of our Fire Walk With Me episode was epic, friends, lace up your shoes because at 2+ hours, we're going for a walk in the woods. Chug-a-lug.
In Part 2, we'll dive into the tragic and beautiful final moments in the life of one of the world's greatest characters, Laura Palmer. 
As a general note: we talk about some very dark and traumatic things in this episode, so before you press play, just know we get into it. 
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is Directed by David Lynch and written by Bob Engles and David Lynch.
