Twin Peak’s Michael Horse talks art, music, playing Hawk, David Lynch and more
Meanwhile: A Twin Peaks PodcastShow Notes
Today on MEANWHILE we are talking to the legendary MICHAEL HORSE! Obviously we are going to talk about his time playing Hawk on Twin Peaks, but Michael is such a facinating person we take several detours to learn about his artwork, hitchhiking to New York City, The Legend of the Lone Ranger, his first time working with David Lynch on The Cowboy and the Frenchman, new projects, old projects, and everything in between -- including making ads for the Coca-cola Company's GEORGIA COFFEE. What an absolute treat. Many thanks to Susan Marks for helping make this happen. You can find Michael's artwork here: https://gatheringtribes.com/ Sources:

Today on MEANWHILE, I’m thrilled to share my talk with Jay Aaseng about his time working as David Lynch’s assistant, producing INLAND EMPIRE, playing the Drunk in Twin Peaks: The Return, as well as covering his work as a writer, director, and actor. This episode spends a lot of time diving into Inland Empire and Jay’s experience working directly with David Lynch. Plus, we get into the identity of the actors in the Rabbit suits. And while we get confirmation that during one re-shoot scene Naomi Watts and Scott Coffey are very much inside those suits, Jay drops a clue that the year was likely 2002, before the Laura Dern monologue, and so before Inland Empire!! The mystery continues… Sources:
