Elephant man was a truly magnificent movie. Two of my sisters saw the movie when it first came out. The 3 of us cried through the movies and we’re not able to talk about it until a month passed. It’s a powerful movie. Thank you.

Wow! Just found this time capsule from 35 years ago. Terry Gross- Great interview.I hear the youth and awareness in her voice. Thank you Mark Frost (and David) for the weirdest, most evocative tv show of all time. Jung would have been impressed. # 2 Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected and #3 Gibbsville with John Savage and Gig Young. Just a personal opinion.

David Lynch did an interview on NPR around the same time, does anybody have it?

This is a great interview..Twin Peaks was an amazing series and got more complex /deep and scary as it went along,i like the way here Mark just breaks it down and makes us remember why we were drawn to this briilant show in the first place!

It's so great hearing from Mark Frost. That fascination with mystery and things that are hidden - it's an occult TV show, through and through!
