I’m back in the cult section of Video Ezy this week with David Lynch’s version of Re-Animator, Fire Walk With Me . This film, chronicling the last 7 days of Laura Palmer was released to boos and hisses at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival. Derided and misunderstood by Joe Public & critics back in the day, Fire Walk With Me has been resurrected and reassessed as one of the great Lynch cinematic experiences.

Does The Soul Exist?
Do we have a soul?
One year after launching Night Blooming Jasmine, we’re diving into one of the biggest questions lurking behind the red curtains of Twin Peaks: what, exactly, are we?
From Laura Palmer’s radiant light to Sarah Palmer’s terrifying abyss, David Lynch spent a lifetime exploring masks, doubles, dreams, identity, and the possibility that something exists beneath them all. But was Lynch pointing toward an eternal soul—or showing us that the self is nothing more than a beautiful illusion?
In this anniversary episode, we wander through Buddhism, classical yoga philosophy, Jungian psychology, Transcendental Meditation, reincarnation, and Twin Peaks: The Return to ask whether there is a permanent self beneath the mask, or whether the mask is all there ever was.
David Lynch believed that light overpowers darkness. This episode asks what happens when we follow that light all the way into the unknown.

Write It In Your Diary Laura Palmer
People are under a lot of stress.
In this episode of Night Blooming Jasmine, we return to the eternal present - a post-David Lynch Los Angeles, where the surreal has collapsed into the everyday.
The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer is essential reading. The act of keeping a diary is an instinctual tradition - from Joan Didion to Pamela Des Barres to Eve Babitz’s sun-drenched fragments of Los Angeles life, this episode traces the diary as artifact, weapon, map, and mirror.
A diary is not safe.But neither is silence.
KNOW THYSELF.
Write it in your diary.
