Meanwhile: A Twin Peaks Podcast

I've got good news. Today on MEANWHILE, we're talking to Terryn Westbrook about how she met David Lynch, was cast in an "experimental internet project," how that project turned in INLAND EMPIRE, the value of wigs, and whether or not the Valley House was an active crack house. Plus working with Jennifer Lynch, Christopher Guest & Fred Willard, and the best way to end a dinner party.

Mike Malone is one of two on-set dressers the world of Twin Peaks has ever had. Since Episode 1 of the original series, Mike has been on set for just about every scene from Season 1, to Fire Walk With Me, to the Return. Mike has worked in the film and television industry for decades and over the course of our nearly two hour conversation we get INTO it. Mike will be auctioning off the RR Clock, which you can see here behind Norma.

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: INLAND EMPIRE - David Lynch - https://www.criterion.com/films/30077-inland-empire LYNCH (one) - blackANDwhite - https://www.criterionchannel.com/lynch-one Fetch-a-Sketch - Jay Aaseng - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fetch-a-sketch/id1568920929 Apocalypse Breaker - Aaron Renfroe, Sean Oswald - https://www.audible.com/pd/Apocalypse-BREAKER-4-Audiobook/B0HFBK9W23 My Big Goblin Space Program - Scott Warren - https://www.audible.com/pd/My-Big-Goblin-Space-Program-An-Astronaut-Reincarnation-LitRPG-Audiobook/B0F8PK8F96 I Am Not a Wolf - Dan Sheehan - https://www.audible.com/pd/I-Am-Not-a-Wolf-Audiobook/B0C7XN298F Enjoying the show?
