      Also, Twin Peaks absolutely has a white dude critique. The entire show is just all the white dudes coming together and doing rape and genocide but abstractly.

      And even all the esoteric stuff can be ignored as "lol, black lodge things, amiright??" You don't even need to pay attention to the "logistics" or the "plotholes", the narrative literally says it's magic.

      To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Twin Peaks. The symbolism is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of occult lore most of the plot arcs will go over a typical viewer's head.

      if you bounce that hard off of Twin Peaks you would struggle to perceive much less understand actual outsider art or anything genuinely weird

      I dunno, I love a lot of weird and surreal stuff but for some reason Lynch just doesn't do anything for me, outside maybe Eraserhead.

      My friends made me watch Eraserhead in high school and I hated it so much that I don’t think I’ll ever give David Lynch another chance.

      I’ve heard Twin Peaks is a lot more straightforward, but I just really don’t want to check it out. Also Lynch is a shitty person.

        Eraserhead is well-made, but a deeply unpleasant viewing experience. I would say that I like that movie, as much as you can like it, and I’d be fine with never watching it again.

        Dune is fun, though.
