Show Notes
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Part 1 Our FWWM episode went long, friends, and short of me quitting my job and devoting my life to editing a four hour podcast, we broke it into two parts. In Part 1, we discuss the making of Fire Walk With Me and the Teresa Banks portion of the film. In Part 2, we explore the last seven days of Laura Palmer. Fire Walk With Me is a beautiful nightmare and it dives into some very dark and traumatic subject matter, and so do we. So before you press play, just know we get into it. Directed by David Lynch and written by Bob Engles and David Lynch. Sources:

In Part 6, we come to the end of David Lynch's 2006 masterpiece INLAND EMPIRE and attempt to put the pieces together until it all feels right.

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:
