I think Netflix and Lynch are going to pair up in the near future and I am all for it. Why else would they give a platform to such a weird, short nonsensical film like What Did Jack Do? It has to be a precursor to future projects, right?!?!?!
In this bizarre black and white 17 minute short Lynch film, he plays a homicide detective interrogating a monkey suspected of murder. The money's mouth has had a human mouth super imposed over it. It's not "flawless" and clearly/intentionally noticeable. Think of Conan's gag where he interviews a still image of Schwarzenegger on his late night show. Anyways, this is all part of Lynch's twisted humour.
Bottom line is, you either laugh with it, or turn it off in confusion. Some people will ask what is the point, others will demand for more Lynch content. The man hasn't had a directorial feature hit theatres in a long time. The last big splash had to have been Mulholland Dr because the 3 hour Inland Empire did nothing for no one. Since then he's had dozens upon dozens of short films and then the Twin Peaks revival. Lynch needs to make more movies and if Netflix is the way, so be it. Although with his disdain for people watching films on phones, it could just be a fever dream.
Expect more weird things to come our way from him, this is a short and "simple" film with one person talking to a monkey.
What Did Jack Do?
" I don't know. It's all like a crazy nightmare to me now."
