This is the last of my 25th anniversary posts. It
is also my most self-indulgent. Forgive me.
As Twin Peaks faded into history, Wrapped In Plastic was often
acknowledged as being a stalwart reminder of the lasting impact of the series.
Over the years, a number of media outlets either reviewed Wrapped In Plastic or
interviewed Craig Miller and myself about how (and why) we were still making a magazine
about a show that had been cancelled after a mere 30 episodes. Wrapped In Plastic was a curiosity and it
became a good human-interest topic.
It was always a thrill to get mentioned in another magazine
or on a radio show. The first real
interest in WIP was local; Craig and I appeared on a Dallas public access TV
show. It was the kind of program that aired at 2:00 AM on the B-cable (remember
that?). Despite its very limited reach I was amazed when I walked into the
grocery store a few days after it aired and an employee said, “Hey! I saw you
on TV!”
It's not Wayne's World (but it's close) |
WIP started to get attention in small-press magazines and fanzines.
Before the internet a plethora of publications reviewed all manner of obscure
media. Factsheet Five was the most famous of these and it was an honor to be
included in their fanzine review. We were also reviewed in dozens of other small
press mags, and, honestly, the reviews were usually pretty good.

A few of the magazines that reviewed WIP. |
But not
always. Here's one that says "the editors' love for Twin Peaks fails to shine through." (We were also "fawning" in our interviews and "haughty"!) Believe it or not, this reviewer wanted us to publish WIP less frequently!

Accused of 'stilted analysis' by a magazine called Your Flesh. |
The mainstream media got interested WIP and our biggest
vault into public awareness came when the Dallas Morning News did a long piece.
That article was picked up by one of the wire services and was reprinted in
dozens of major newspapers all over the country:
Shortly after the DMN piece, Entertainment Weekly gave us a
call. To our amazement, they selected Wrapped In Plastic as one of their “Cool”
things for the Summer of 1994! It was a huge honor to share a page with the
brilliant Patrick O’Brian. (And Neil Gaiman’s Sandman was on the opposite
page!)
After this published I became a huge fan of Patrick O'Brian. Really. |
A few years passed and, at last, plans were being made to
release Twin Peaks on DVD. Artisan, the company behind the discs, asked us to
help put the release together.
We contributed liner notes, an excerpt of our
Sheryl Lee interview (from WIP 16), and a new interview conducted with Mark
Frost. We interviewed Frost by phone for almost an hour but they only used 10 minutes
of footage. Oh well, it could have been worse. (Oh. That’s right. It was.)
Craig Miller and me on the phone w/Mark Frost (sort of) |
One of the biggest articles about Wrapped In Plastic appeared in a 1999 issue of Texas Monthly. Pamela Colloff spent many hours talking to Craig and me on the phone and in-person. It was a really great article and a high-point for coverage of WIP.
A few years later, Wrapped In Plastic finally ceased publication. Video Watchdog wrote a very nice obituary and that was the end of interest in the magazine.

Or so I thought.
After the October 2014 announcement that Twin Peaks was
returning to television, I started to get calls about Wrapped In Plastic again.
Jeff Jensen at Entertainment Weekly spoke with me for some time and wrote a long piece
about the history of the magazine.
And Showtime also had some interest. They wanted me to talk
about Twin Peaks and Wrapped In Plastic for their Twin Peaks Phenomenon
documentary. It was a huge thrill to go to New York and contribute to their
promo. Wrapped In Plastic was featured prominently.
So that's it. Wrapped In Plastic has a (very) small place in the history of Twin Peaks. Twenty-five years later a few still remember what Craig Miller and I did over 75 issues. I feel very good about what we accomplished. We didn't do it for money (ha!) or notoriety. We did it because we loved Twin Peaks.
Thanks for allowing me some time to reminisce. It was fun.
This guy has got to stop talking. |
Nice story about coming back to these old years. Thanks for sharing that moments. Touching.
ReplyDeleteHappy 25th anniversary to WIP!
There was never a happier moment on many days than when i would get the new issues of WIP in the mail. I even purchased an extra wide mailbox to try and get my mailman to stop folding them in half (that never did work out, they just seemed to have a thing for folding eveything over and even throwing a rubber band on there for good measure).
