It's Monday, which means it's the perfect time for you to watch David Lynch asking a suited monkey if he's ever been a card-carrying member of the communist party.
It's a genuine thing that happens in David Lynch's new Netflix short, What Did Jack Do?, a 17-minute film which sees the legendary director interrogating a monkey called Jack in a train carriage.
Co-presented by Lynch's company Absurda and Parisian contemporary art museum Fondation Cartier, the film was written, directed, and edited by Lynch himself. Along with a small crew, he also did the sound editing, set design, and assisted with set construction.
Here's a small snatch of the dialogue, just so you know roughly what to expect:
Lynch: They found feathers.
Jack: Bullshit.
Lynch: Are you calling me a liar? I know why the chicken crossed the road.
Jack: This conversation just came to a screeching halt.
Lynch: Be a man, Jack, and tell me about her.
We won't spoil what happens, but look out for a cameo from actor Emily Stofle (Twin Peaks star and David Lynch's wife), and make sure you stick around for the catchy musical number towards the end.
Yes, you read that right.
What Did Jack Do? is now available to stream on Netflix.
