David Lynch - The Early Short Films
Tuesday Nov 21, 2017
Tuesday Nov 21, 2017
We start our dive into the deep cuts of Mark Frost's & David Lynch's careers with the early short films of David Lynch. We marvel at just how complete an aesthetic and feel Lynch was able to create seemingly right from the get-go. The music, visuals, and themes that will typify his later work were all present in their haunting fullness, right out of the gate. We also discuss his ties to the art world and the larger social ethos of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, as presented in these early films, and naturally draw some comparisons with Twin Peaks and The Return as well.

***SPOILER ALERT for The Final Dossier***
With The Final Dossier already a week old, we waded out into the deep end to start picking at some of the lingering questions left by the end of the novel. We're no closer to having the answers, but it's going to be a lot of fun to try and figure out how this dessert course relates back to the meat and potatoes of the original series, the original novels, and The Return.
