The Sparkwood & 21 Feedback Dossier

This episode will give you a good indication of the initial response to Mark Frost’s The Secret History of Twin Peaks before the new Twin Peaks episodes were aired on Showtime. In early 2017, your host John finished an extensive book analysis for Sparkwood & 21 podcast, and this episode is an audiobook of the entire art project. Have fun with the predictions that are way off base, and keep an eye on how much of The Return’s mythology could be predicted from Frost’s book alone.Speakpipe - Leave us a voicemailProduction by Mitch Proctor and Area 42 Studios and SoundAdditional audio editing John Bernardyhttps://www.teepublic.com/user/ruminationsradionetworkwww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkwww.25yearslatersite.comInstagram: BlueRoseTaskForcehttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioEmail ruminationsradio@gmail.comEmail bluerosetaskforcepodcast@gmail.com

Underworld (2003)

Vampires, Lycans, bad dialog... and fun action?  Interesting backstory, behind the scenes, and style, do they overcome the films' shortcomings? Did the film take it self too seriously?  We counted 2 (maybe just 1 and a half) jokes, so did the lack of levity impact the overall enjoyment of this early aughties horror action romp? Is it horror? Seems like it.  Did one of the hosts disagree? and is it the one you think?Speakpipe - Send us a voice message www.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/ruminationsofredrumwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioMusic and Production by Mitch Proctor for Area 42 Studios and SoundEpisode Artwork Charles Langley and Mitch Proctor for Area 42 Studios and Soundhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadio
