Really Weird Stuff: A Twin Peaks Podcast – Twin Peaks the Return Part Eight, “Gotta light?”

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.

We explore such mysteries as: 

WHY does the M.C. say THE Nine Inch Nails?

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.

Really Weird Stuff: A Twin Peaks Podcast – The Return Part One – “My log has a message for you.”

On episode 32 of Really Weird Stuff, we’re discussing Twin Peaks: The Return, Part One – “My log has a message for you.” This episode was written by David Lynch and Mark Frost, and directed by David Lynch. It originally aired May 21, 2017 on Showtime. This episode is best known for being the long-anticipated, much-rumored third season of Twin Peaks. It takes place 25 years after we left the real Dale Cooper in the lodge with his doppelgänger on the loose out in the world. It was also miraculously filmed 25 years later, and that’s only one of the myriad coincidences that makes this thing feel serendipitous and inevitable.

WHY is Tracy gagging to get into that secret room with Sam?

WHERE did the security guard go?

HOW does Marjorie not know her address (or much of anything)?

WHAT does Matt have to do to get eyebrows like Otis?

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.
