On this very special episode of Really Weird Stuff: A Twin Peaks Podcast, we team up with independent cinema outlet, Hammer to Nail, to interview Richard Green, director of the new documentary, I Know Catherine, the Log Lady, about the life and death of Catherine Coulson, aka Margaret Lanterman from Twin Peaks. As the film shows, her time on T.P. was just a fraction of the huge, dynamic life of a beloved woman. 

Lynch fans will also recognize Richard Green as the Magician from
Mulholland Dr . ("No Hay Banda!") 

Baxter spoke to Green about his indelible time working with David, the challenges of reducing hundreds of hours of content into a digestible feature, the importance of the theatrical experience, and how David's death may have been a boon to art-house cinema. 

Plus MUCH MORE! 

Check iknowcatherine.com for more information and to see if the film is coming to your city!

A note from Baxter, co-host, producer, and editor of Really Weird Stuff: A Twin Peaks Podcast.

I had to pause working on Part 4 of The Return because, as I'm sure you know, David Lynch died today, the 16th of January. 2025.

David felt that numbers were always significant, so I looked up 16 and found this:

"16 is a powerful number that holds spiritual information about you and your destiny. While having 16 in your chart speaks to independence, service to other people, and leading others, it most truly speaks to one thing: wisdom. It points to old souls that have the wisdom to teach and lead others."

Since he (along with Laura) is the reason for the season, I had to pay direct tribute to him and I had to do it today. If you're hurting from this loss, you're not alone. And if you feel alone, watch something David made. It always helps me.

Love, 
Baxter
