On episode 39 of Really Weird Stuff: A Twin Peaks Podcast, we’re discussing Twin Peaks the Return: Part 78- “Gotta light?” This episode was written by David Lynch and Mark Frost, and Directed by David Lynch. It’s best known as being the most cinematic episode of television that ever aired, and for presenting a complex metaphor for the battle between the light and dark and the perpetuating horrors that America unleashed when we decided to play god. Christopher Nolan could never.
Special guest Megan Metzger joins us to discuss how Twin Peaks started her on her journey to media obsession from a very young age, and to attempt to comprehend this Ulysses of television episodes.
We explore such mysteries as:
WHY does the M.C. say THE Nine Inch Nails?
WHERE exactly is Phillip Jeffries?
WHAT is the real life inspiration for the Frog Moth?
PLUS: The astonishing marriage of practical and VFX behind the visceral terror of the bomb and the Woodsmen.
