David Lynch loves teasing us with monkeys. One of the more beguiling bits of Twin Peaks lore involved a monkey uttering the name “Judy,” and now the filmmaker is back with another talking primate, this one named Jack. In a wonderful surprise, the filmmaker dropped an incredible short on Netflix today called “What Did Jack Do?” in celebration of his 74th birthday. Lynch stars in the 17-minute tale as a detective in conversation with the titular Jack, who may or may not have murdered someone named Max. According to The Playlist’s Kevin Jagernauth, the short originally premiered in Paris in 2017, and also screened at one of Lynch’s Festival Of Disruption live events.
