In celebration of *Dune’s *40th anniversary, we have a damn fine cup of coffee with actor (and now podcaster) Kyle MacLachlan.
We discuss his new true crime podcast *Varnamtown *)(7:08), MacLachlan’s small-town upbringing (15:36), and what inspired him to pursue acting after college (18:15) before landing his debut role in *Dune *(21:16). Then, he describes the film’s momentous premiere (27:42), his second collaboration with David Lynch in *Blue Velvet *(32:40) and the personal challenges he faced while making the film (34:08).
On the back-half, we talk through Twin Peaks (41:25), *Showgirls *(46:57), how he taps into raw emotion as an actor (50:22), his recent foray into social media (58:25), and to close, a poignant George Price cartoon (1:01:00).
