YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (or should we say YOUNG FRONKENSTEEN?), the scariest comedy of all time, is coming to The Frida Cinema on June 29th to celebrate the incomparable Mel Brooks’ 100th birthday! 🧠

A young neurosurgeon (played by Gene Wilder in one of cinema’s greatest comedic performances of all time) inherits the castle of his grandfather, the famous Dr. Victor von Frankenstein. In the castle he finds a funny hunchback, a pretty lab assistant and the elderly housekeeper. Young Frankenstein believes that the work of his grandfather was delusional, but when he discovers the book where the mad doctor described his reanimation experiment, he suddenly changes his mind.

Our journey into the town of Twin Peaks delves deeper into the mystery of season two on June 7th with episodes 3 + 4 + 5 ☕️

Season 2, Episode 3 – “The Man Behind Glass”
Original Air Date: October 13, 1990

New suspects, new locations, and a strange clue hidden in plain sight send Cooper and Truman in a fresh direction, while Donna and James test the boundaries of how far they are willing to go in search of answers. Audrey continues navigating the influence of her father Benjamin Horne and the world surrounding the Great Northern, and Lucy, Andy, and Deputy Dick Tremaine bring a more awkward kind of tension to the station.

Season 2, Episode 4 – “Laura’s Secret Diary”
Original Air Date: October 20, 1990

Local recluse Harold Smith becomes central to Donna and Maddy’s search for the missing diary that may explain some of Laura’s secret life. Cooper and Truman continue pursuing clues that point toward both human suspects, and something less easily defined.

Season 2, Episode 5 – “The Orchid’s Curse”
Original Air Date: October 27, 1990

Cooper’s investigation begins stretching beyond Twin Peaks as he uncovers connections that may link Laura’s death to similar crimes elsewhere. Donna and Maddy’s attempt to get close to Harold places them in delicate territory, while Audrey continues using her access and intelligence to uncover information that others miss.
