Cafe Unconscious is a new Twin Peaks podcast, starting June 9 & every Monday, hosted by Tommy & Anthony When Mark Frost said, “I’m a Jungian, I believe in that stuff,” Tommy (who also makes his living as a co-writer of stories) took Frost at his word and has since spent many years developing an ongoing Twin Peaks “theory of everything.” Anthony, whose interest in Twin Peaks has mainly been Lynch-focused, finds the theory fascinating — and essential to any serious inquiries into the show, especially for anyone looking to synthesize the contributions of co-creators Mark Frost & David Lynch.
