A new month means a new theme, and this month we're leading into our scheduled Twin Peaks season one watch in July with a trio of David Lynch's earlier films, and kicking that off with the unpredictable and nightmarish small town mystery of Blue Velvet.
NOTE: This film depicts scenes of sexual violence, and while we do not include clips of any of those scenes, we do discuss them at length.
