  1. Transcendental Meditation; Gurus, Capitalism, & The Autonomous Self

    FEB 10

    Transcendental Meditation; Gurus, Capitalism, & The Autonomous Self

    David Lynch's legacy is forever entwined with the practice of Transcendental Meditation. He was gleefully evangelical about it, describing the practice as a dive within, to the bottom of the ocean of consciousness. But what exactly is TM? Who invented it? How is it different from other forms of meditation?

    The Black Lodge, The White Lodge, & The Folly Of Absolutes

    Happy New Year, Night People. January is a holy month for our community, marking the first anniversary of David Lynch's passing, his birthday, Bowie's birthday, and 10 years since the Black Star passed; and now, one year since the LA fires. Let us reflect. Come with me, wont you, on a journey into the unexamined shadows of the Black Lodge, and it's opposite, the White Lodge, a place where wisdom and peace reside in abundance. Are the notions of these lodges real, like a formica table? Or are we always dwelling on the thresholds of these states of being, passing through and doubling back, like threading a needle, again and again. This is a public episode.

    Annie, Belladonna Of Sadness

    Welcome back to Night Blooming Jasmine. Join me as I visit the myth of Annie Blackburn — a woman written as a narrative fix, then transformed by David Lynch into something spectral and essential. From the convent shadows to Miss Twin Peaks, Annie becomes a guide, a sacrifice, a hinge in Cooper’s fate, and an echo of older myths: Ariadne, Persephone, Psyche. Check out The Tao of Twin Peaks by William Dickerson here This is a public episode.

    Lynch & Lolita

    What does it costs to live inside a fantasy built by men? On this episode we prod that viper’s nest. David Lynch loved Kubrick’s film adaptation of Nabokov’s Lolita, so much so that he conjured his own Dolores Haze with Laura Palmer. JOIN PATREON We move between fantasy and wreckage. Between Desire, danger, and the American girl—through the eyes of genius. So put your heart shaped glasses on, pop a lolly in your mouth, and settle in. It’s about to get disturbing.

  8. Black Dahlia 3 - THE CHAIN Teaser

    TRAILER

    Black Dahlia 3 - THE CHAIN Teaser

    Find the Full Episode HERE The Black Dahlia murder shocked postwar America and ignited a media frenzy that reduced her to pulp headlines and grotesque speculation. The LAPD’s bungled investigation faded into silence, until the incest trial of George Hodel thrust the Dahlia’s specter back into the spotlight. In episode 3 of This Body - The Black Dahlia, we trace a line from Elizabeth Short’s depersonalized body in Leimert Park through Tamar Hodel’s testimony, and into the next generation of Hollywood daughters: Michele and Chynna Phillips, Mackenzie Phillips, and Bijou Phillips. From Chinatown to Lolita, from the Mamas and the Papas to Scientology, this is a story of how Los Angeles devours its daughters, and how some live to tell the tale. This is a public episode.
