"The candy-colored clown they call the Sandman."
-- Frank Booth, Blue Velvet
It is happening again...My co-host with the most Xan Sprouse and I are back with a new episode of Ghostwood: The Twin Peaks Podcast! This time, we finish our discussion of the new Criterion Collection release of Blue Velvet, the 1986 neo-noir mystery film from director David Lynch, starring Kyle MacLachlan as Jeffrey Beaumont, Isabella Rossellini as Dorothy Vallens, Dennis Hopper as Frank Booth, and Laura Dern as Sandy Williams!
