Spare a thought, briefly, for the poor souls who were idly browsing through Netflix on January 20th, 2020 and – entirely by chance – happened upon David Lynch's short What Did Jack Do? What could they have possibly thought was happening? As the 17-minute short progressed, and they witnessed David Lynch himself interviewing a talking capuchin monkey about how the monkey may have committed a murder, did the unsuspecting viewer think that their La Croix had been spiked with LSD? That's certainly the impression one takes from What Did Jack Do?, a short film made by Lynch back in 2016, and one that is only now finding its way onto Netflix without any warning, fanfare, introduction, or the slightest whiff of context.
