Description

This is the rare time we've ever posted an episode on Halloween, so to put an appropriately freaky bow on Scary Movie Month, we've chosen to discuss a film that's always frightened at least one of us. David Lynch has been the master of unsettling horror (BOB!) amidst everyday settings since his career kicked off 45 years ago. That talent might be epitomized in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This eerie prequel to the ground-breaking TV series certainly can make a person's skin crawl. Sheryl Lee is almost operatic, but she's also extraordinary playing one of Lynch's many tragic blondes. The psychotic break Laura Palmer suffers became a running theme in so much of Lynch's work and Lee nails it just as effectively as Watts or Dern or Pullman did. Okay, maybe not quite as good as Watts. The original Twin Peaks series and the 2017 follow-up miniseries came up a lot during this episode, so be prepared to hear about TV almost as much as film. Indisputably, this brand has staying power with its diehard fans and you'll learn so many tidbits from one of them in this 464th Ellises' Analysis. But, hey, who appreciates a good cup of coffee more than Dale Cooper? He'd love Sparkplug Coffee. You and Dale can use our promo code ("top100project") to save 20% on your next order.

Ryan and Bev Ellis are partners in film nerdery who share their often humorous musings on the AFI's 1998 & 2007 lists of the greatest 100 American films ever made. But we finished with that in December 2015, so now we just review anything we feel like!
