Really Weird Stuff: A Twin Peaks Podcast – Fire Walk With Me

On episode 31 of Really Weird Stuff: A Twin Peaks Podcast, we’re diving headlong into the 1992 cinematic prequel, “Fire Walk With Me”, written by Robert Engels and David Lynch, and directed by David Lynch. It was released to theaters August 28th, 1992 and flopped HARD. It had premiered at Cannes earlier that year, to the bafflement of audiences and most critics. A handful of European critics were pioneers of understanding the film for the masterpiece it is. Sheryl Lee and Ray Wise give everything they have to tell the story of Laura’s final days. We also learn a little about Theresa Banks and the agents who mysteriously disappeared whilst investigating cases with the top secret designation: Blue Rose. 

We did a tremendous amount of prep for this episode, including studying the lore of the Lodge Entities,  providing foot notes from The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer, and doing our best to understand The Coop Loop.  

Predictably, the discussion gets fairly heavy at times. 
TRIGGER WARNINGS: for discussing Sexual Assault, Drug Abuse, and Incest.

But we also manage to have a little fun mining the moments of levity, heaping love onto some favorite characters (including Bobby and Carl), and reminiscing about when we first got to know Laura Palmer. As Amy overheard from some teenage girls in the bathroom of the Westfield New Jersey Mall Cinema in 1992, “there are some movies you just have to be an adult to understand”. And even then, it takes some leg work. 

Gobble… Gobble. Gobble.

On episode 23 of Really Weird Stuff, we’re discussing Twin Peaks Season 2, Episode 15: “Slaves and Masters“. This episode was written by Harley Peyton and Robert Engels and directed – rather infamously – by THE Diane Keaton.

Special guest Chris Brugos joins us to explore such mysteries as:

WHY is Albert in such a great mood all of a sudden?

WHO is Donna fooling with that fake phone call?

HOW can Windom carry so much literal dead weight without any help?
DO Ed and Norma know you can divorce someone BEFORE they go to jail or lose their mind?
