Kind of a hard question to word, but is there anything in your life you have recommended to other people but no one’s ever gotten into?

I love podcasts and have friends who still thank me for getting them into this one or that one. But I’ve never gotten anyone to listen to My Brother, My Brother and Me. I don’t know if the name is unappealing or the concept but people seem to bounce off immediately.

So what can’t you get people into and why should we check it out?

    My recommendation is the work of Joel Bocko, whose website and general web presence, Lost in the Movies, is superb and really not well enough known IMO.

    He’s best know for his amazingly in-depth looks at Twin Peaks, including Lost in Twin Peaks (a podcast offering episode-by-episode discussion and analysis of the entire run), and the more thematically-based video series, Journey through Twin Peaks.

    These are not so much in the “Try to crack the code” mode so much much TP coverage goes for - rather they are about appreciation and analysis of the show as a piece of TV/cinema; its themes and messages, its characters and plotlines, its direction and aesthetics, and its production, artistic vision and contemporary reception. They’re wonderfully satisfying and well put together, and deserve much more attention.

    He also does a huge amount of work on other cinema and TV, ranging from major blockbusters (usually in the form of him discussing major films he missed on initial release) to older genre movies to obscure arthouse cinema.

    I can’t recommend his work enough :-)
