Twin Peaks Rewatch 54: Wrap-up Mailbag
September 16, 2017 21:20 - 1 hour - 51.6 MBNow that Twin Peaks The Return has concluded, we look to the true hero of the show—Deputy Chad—to provide a model of how we should close out the final episode of Twin Peaks Rewatch. So, like Chad, we've been rooting through all the mail that's come in lately and pocketing the most interesting letters, right under your noses! Join us for our final thoughts on Twin Peaks (for now!), along with a deep dive into the Twin Peaks Rewatch mailbag, full of questions, insights and ideas from all of you...
Twin Peaks Rewatch 53: The Return, Part 18
September 08, 2017 19:01 - 1 hour - 73.3 MBTwin Peaks has ended, it was confusing, upsetting, and we have a lot of questions, but we loved it. Wait, what year is this? Join us for a discussion of the series finale of Twin Peaks, as we walk through Part 18 piece by piece, with many stops along the way to ruminate on everything that's come before, what it all means and feels like now that we're at the end. Next week we'll be back with an episode full of reader mail and some final decompression of the season as a whole, but before we go...
Twin Peaks Rewatch 52: The Return, Part 17
September 08, 2017 17:52 - 1 hour - 66.6 MBIt's time for the first half of the end. Twin Peaks' final curtain call aired as a two-part double-long event, and we ended up with so much to say about these final episodes, we followed suit and split our podcast into two parts as well. In this episode, almost every major plot thread we've seen this season culminates in an epic showdown at the Twin Peaks Sheriff's Department—a showdown that resolves itself so neatly it's unsettling, before everything starts to change, to slip, and fall apart...
Twin Peaks Rewatch 51: The Return, Part 16
August 30, 2017 05:33 - 1 hour - 65.8 MBAs Twin Peaks approaches what may be its final episode ever, it delivers an hour stuffed to bursting with amazing moments that are, in and of themselves, cathartic and revealing , but also illuminate past moments from earlier in the season, showing them in a new light. There's so much to talk about we basically can't stop, and get a little scattershot in the process, but what can one do when things are this exciting? If you have a question for us or thoughts to share on the new season of Tw...
Twin Peaks Rewatch 50: The Return, Part 15
August 23, 2017 16:18 - 1 hour - 62.5 MBThis week on Twin Peaks, things are either moving into position as the finale looms, or they are poignantly coming to an end. One Cooper hears a name he hasn't heard in 25 years, and the other Cooper finally asks about Judy, while Margaret Lanterman says a devastating goodbye, Ed and Norma finally get together and Nadine digs herself out of the shit. The end is very close! If you have a question for us or thoughts to share on the new season of Twin Peaks, write us at [email protected]...
Twin Peaks Rewatch 49: The Return, Part 14
August 18, 2017 06:03 - 1 hour - 65 MBIt was a jam-packed, breakneck episode of Twin Peaks this week, full of new connections and long-awaited revelations, standout performances all around, dreams that seamlessly blinked 25 years into the past, and a guy with a green glove that gives him super strength in one arm. In Part 14 we were served a cocktail of Twin Peaks past and present, where good and bad mix up and overlap so much you can't quite tell what is which, and that's the best kind of episode to pick apart and really discuss...
Twin Peaks Rewatch 48: The Return, Part 13
August 09, 2017 21:06 - 1 hour - 55.9 MBTwin Peaks refuses to get stuck in a rut, but may be stuck in time. Or maybe time has lost all meaning? It's hard to tell right now. Sarah Palmer watches the same few seconds of television on loop, while Audrey loses herself in an existential conversational spiral, and Ed and Norma can't ever seem to get started at all. Also Cooper punches someone out of his chair. Just between you and I, this week's episode was a great one. Join us for a discussion of Twin Peaks The Return, Part 13. Notes: ...
Twin Peaks Rewatch 47: The Return, Part 12
August 03, 2017 08:11 - 54 minutes - 43.9 MBThough the map is both figuratively and literally starting to center on Twin Peaks, this week we're all over the place. After some fantastic moments with the FBI, Ben Horne, Sheriff Truman, and Sarah Palmer, Audrey makes her long-awaited return, seemingly to bombard us with names and relationships we can barely grasp. Who is Tina and what did she say? Where's Billy? Is Chuck Richard? These questions and more will remain unanswered for now despite everyone's best efforts, but that's probably t...
Twin Peaks Rewatch 46: The Return, Part 11
July 25, 2017 21:26 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBTwin Peaks is firing on all cylinders this week, as the tonal hallmarks of The Return mesh with some absolute standout moments from longtime series regulars and newcomers alike.

Twin Peaks Rewatch 45: The Return, Part 10
July 19, 2017 06:12 - 54 minutes - 44.4 MBTwin Peaks dives deep into the uncomfortable and painful, at a very human level this week, and we do our best to talk through it all. Fortunately, in addition to a cavalcade of very dangerous, very bad people doing unconscionable things, Albert goes on a date and seems to have a great time. Join us in discussing Twin Peaks The Return, Part 10. If you have a question for us or thoughts to share on the new season of Twin Peaks, write us at [email protected]. Looking for a place to disc...
Twin Peaks Rewatch 44: The Return, Part 9
July 11, 2017 17:44 - 1 hour - 49.2 MBTwin Peaks returns to normal (its version of normal, at least) after last week's atomic blast, tons of plot threads get linked together by Gordon and the FBI, and Bobby Briggs has his day. Join us for a discussion of Twin Peaks The Return, Part 9. If you have a question for us or thoughts to share on the new season of Twin Peaks, write us at [email protected].

Twin Peaks Rewatch 43: Mid-Season Intermission
July 07, 2017 20:54 - 1 hour - 55.6 MBWith Twin Peaks on break last weekend, we turn to the Twin Peaks Rewatch mailbag, to discuss your thoughts on the new season so far, and where we might be going in the second half.

Twin Peaks Rewatch 42: The Return, Part 8
June 27, 2017 18:42 - 1 hour - 51.5 MBWow. After watching what is definitely the strangest, most world-expanding episode of Twin Peaks, we do our best to drink full and descend, talking through the whole episode scene by scene before coming up for air and sharing our immediate impressions of the episode as a whole. Next week: A mid-season reflections episode. There isn't a new episode of Twin Peaks on the air next week (Part 9 doesn't air until July 9). We're taking advantage of the empty week to do a reader mail-heavy episode,...
Twin Peaks Rewatch 41: The Return, Part 7
June 20, 2017 07:57 - 1 hour - 49.2 MBHawk and Sheriff Truman add new evidence to Laura Palmer's case file for the first time in 25 years, Major Briggs is identified as the body in the Buckhorn morgue, Doc Hayward caught some trout, and everyone—inside the show and out—starts really coming to grips with the reality that the Cooper the're watching is not the Cooper they knew. After a couple weeks of slow burn, this week's episode of Twin Peaks is packed, and we're happy to get to discuss it with you. If you have a question for us...
Twin Peaks Rewatch 40: The Return, Part 6
June 12, 2017 19:51 - 1 hour - 55 MBA long-awaited face makes a tantalizing appearance in the shape of Laura Dern, much to the internet's delight. Meanwhile, the swirling Dougie-related conspiracies seem to intertwine ever further, even as new threads continue to appear and bodies pile up. We aren't entirely sure what to make of it all, but we give it a shot.
Twin Peaks Rewatch 39: The Return, Part 5
June 05, 2017 23:23 - 1 hour - 51.2 MBWith the premiere event behind us, it's time for the first truly weekly installment of Twin Peaks season three. We're thrown headfirst into Dougie Jones' work life, we're given the identity of the John Doe in South Dakota (or are we?), we get our first glimpse at the next generation of Twin Peaks' troubled teens, and crucially, we finally learn why Dr. Jacoby wanted all those shovels. It's an episode full of setup, new characters, and new places. Where we're going from here is almost impossib...
Twin Peaks Rewatch 38: The Return, Part 4
June 01, 2017 04:37 - 1 hour - 59.2 MBAfter a wild and wide-reaching start to the season, Twin Peaks is finally starting to center itself. Or, at least we think it might be. Let's talk about the home life of Dougie Jones, the FBI's run-in with a very different man than they were expecting, the overwhelming delight of Agent Cooper's first sip of coffee in 25 years, and of course, Wally Brando. If you have a question for us or thoughts to share on the new season of Twin Peaks, write us at [email protected]. Looking for a p...
Twin Peaks Rewatch 37: The Return, Part 3
May 29, 2017 23:09 - 56 minutes - 46 MBTwin Peaks: The Return is broadening out, getting funnier, sadder, and somehow even stranger than it was before. Agent Cooper completes his difficult journey out of the Black Lodge only to land in an unexpected pair of shoes: those of a slot machine mega-jackpot champion named Dougie. Hold onto your shoes and follow us through the unknown, as we discuss The Return, Part 3. If you have a question for us or thoughts to share on the new season of Twin Peaks, write us at [email protected]...
Twin Peaks Rewatch 36: The Return, Part 2
May 24, 2017 23:35 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBIs it future or is it past? Storylines converge, and events fold in on themselves in Twin Peaks' second new episode of 2017. What will happen to Cooper now that he's left the red room? What is his doppelganger's plan and what could it mean? Was that Jacques Renault in the Roadhouse? Has James always been cool? Join us for a deeper look at Twin Peaks: The Return, Part 2. If you have a question for us or thoughts to share on the new season of Twin Peaks, write us at [email protected]. ...
Twin Peaks Rewatch 35: The Return, Part 1
May 22, 2017 18:40 - 1 hour - 53.8 MBThe first new Twin Peaks episode in 26 years just hit television. We'll unpack what's new - and what has stayed the same - two decades later, share our thoughts on the fate of Agent Cooper, dig into the new mysteries and characters introduced, and take our best guesses at what Mark Frost and David Lynch are up to with the season as a whole. Join us as we stare into a glass box for hours, watching to see what happens. If you have a question for us or thoughts to share on the new season of Twi...
Twin Peaks Rewatch 34: Catching Up
May 17, 2017 20:00 - 47 minutes - 38.1 MBTwin Peaks is coming back and so are we! Join us as we kick the rust off this podcast, in anticipation of following all of Twin Peaks season three in real time, starting next week. This week, we're warming up by sharing our own expectations for what the new Twin Peaks might hold, discussing Showtime's marketing of the series' return to television, and scratching the surface of Mark Frost's novel, The Secret History of Twin Peaks. We'll be recording a podcast for every episode of the new seas...
Twin Peaks Rewatch 33: Odds and Ends
June 12, 2015 23:01 - 1 hour - 64.8 MBIt's the last episode of Twin Peaks Rewatch... for now! As we await Season 3 of Twin Peaks, we're capping off our rewatch of the original run and film by digging through the listener mailbag for observations and questions that take into account everything we've seen so far. Plus, we touch on some of the official and unofficial cultural artifacts inspired by Twin Peaks in the decades since it aired. (Visit the forum thread for this week's episode at twinpeaksrewatch.com for links and details.)
Twin Peaks Rewatch 32: The Missing Pieces
June 02, 2015 22:09 - 1 hour - 50.2 MBAs a followup to our Fire Walk With Me discussion, this week we share our thoughts on the Missing Pieces deleted and extended scenes from the Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery Blu-ray set. Plus, we delve deep into listener opinions and theories on Fire Walk With Me!
Twin Peaks Rewatch 31: Fire Walk With Me
May 28, 2015 19:53 - 1 hour - 79.8 MBThis week, enjoy our discussion of the Twin Peaks film, Fire Walk With Me. It's a double-size episode about what is essentially two movies in one: the investigation of the Teresa Banks murder, and the final days of Laura Palmer. We think it's great. Join us!
Twin Peaks Rewatch 30: Beyond Life and Death
May 20, 2015 23:34 - 1 hour - 55.5 MBOur rewatch of the full run of Twin Peaks has finished with our enthusiastic discussion of its stunning finale. But stay tuned for continuing Twin Peaks talk, including our take on the film Fire Walk With Me next week!
Twin Peaks Rewatch 29: Miss Twin Peaks
May 14, 2015 05:17 - 55 minutes - 45.6 MBWe've come this far and it's finally paid off -- the moment we've all been waiting for is here: the Miss Twin Peaks competition! Let's all join together to lay Twin Peaks' bizarre back nine to rest, and clear the board for next week's series finale.
Twin Peaks Rewatch 28: The Path to the Black Lodge
May 05, 2015 22:33 - 39 minutes - 32.7 MBThis week on Twin Peaks the darkness that permeates the town is felt with a potency we haven't seen in a long time, and Windom Earle is on occasion the actual vicious, driven, and brilliant villain we have been told so much about, but it's all still in service of a spooky treasure map found in a haunted cave. Points for trying, but we may be too little too late at this point. Two weeks until the finale!
Twin Peaks Rewatch 27: Variations on Relations
April 28, 2015 22:40 - 30 minutes - 25.9 MBIt's another enjoyable but aimless episode of Twin Peaks! As we close in on the series finale, the full suite of late-season-two plot threads chugs along. At least we're always glad to see Gordon Cole.
Twin Peaks Rewatch 26: On the Wings of Love
April 21, 2015 22:16 - 43 minutes - 35.9 MBAs we approach the series finale, Twin Peaks has returned to Twin Peaks, and we're pretty pleased about it. On the other hand, Lost has also come to Twin Peaks, and we're sort of confused about that. In any case, we had fun with episode 26, "On the Wings of Love"!
Twin Peaks Rewatch 25: Wounds and Scars
April 14, 2015 21:01 - 36 minutes - 31 MBMajor Briggs and the Log Lady have a secret. A deeply unsettling man threatens the Hayward family after paying Donna a visit alone. It sounds like Twin Peaks again, until you get to drunk Sheriff Truman, the fashion show, the wild ferret attack. Twin Peaks is coming back to life, but it's not quite back yet in "Wounds and Scars."
Twin Peaks Rewatch 24: The Condemned Woman
April 07, 2015 17:06 - 35 minutes - 29.5 MBPine weasel or no, Ben Horn's wishes that Twin Peaks remain pure and unspoiled are too little, too late. We're way past that. So far past it that people's heads are transforming into furniture, that the villains are so interchangeable even the characters themselves can barely tell each other apart, that someone seems to die once a week and nobody cares. Welcome to Twin Peaks' 24th episode, "The Condemned Woman."
Twin Peaks Rewatch 23: Slaves and Masters
April 02, 2015 21:27 - 1 hour - 55.1 MBIt's been a rough journey back through Twin Peaks recently, but we think we may have hit the roughest patch, with clearer skies to come. For now, we remain confounded—join us as we stumble through the highs and lows of "Slaves and Masters."
Twin Peaks Rewatch 22: Double Play
March 25, 2015 01:46 - 59 minutes - 49.1 MBThis is it. Twin Peaks is a different show now. In episode 22, amidst genius supervillains and melodrama aplenty, we have ventured further into the land of soap opera bombast than the series has previously dared. We discuss, bemused and baffled.
Twin Peaks Rewatch 21: Checkmate
March 18, 2015 00:46 - 41 minutes - 34.7 MBOur complete rewatch of Twin Peaks has taken us deep into late season two, a time when the show can't decide what its wants to be and seemingly re-invents itself each week. Fortunately there's more or less as much to like as there is to be perplexed by, in the show's 21st episode, "Checkmate."
Twin Peaks Rewatch 20: The Black Widow
March 11, 2015 01:04 - 50 minutes - 42.2 MBWe all understand that Twin Peaks is a sometimes surreal, sometimes absurdist series about a small town full of eccentric people, that comments on the soap opera and serialized TV show formats, but, while that is very aggressively true this week, the whole thing feels off and wrong. Join us as we discuss "The Black Widow," an out of place episode of Twin Peaks, in our weekly examination of the complete run of the show.
Twin Peaks Rewatch 19: Masked Ball
February 25, 2015 18:17 - 53 minutes - 44.6 MBWe've now solidly put the murder of Laura Palmer behind us, but the rest of Twin Peaks keeps ticking along—with the scene-stealing introduction of David Duchovny as DEA agent Denise Bryson.
Twin Peaks Rewatch 18: Dispute Between Brothers
February 18, 2015 05:23 - 51 minutes - 42.7 MBIn the wake of Laura's murder wrapping up, lore starts to build up and things get a little dumb, but there are still plenty of bright spots in our weekly rewatch of the complete run of Twin Peaks. Join us for the 18th episode, "Dispute Between Brothers."
Twin Peaks Rewatch 17: Arbitrary Law
February 11, 2015 06:30 - 52 minutes - 43.8 MBAn episode of parlor rooms and connecting dots brings some huge stories to a close, but might wrap things up with too neat a bow. It's time for "Arbitrary Law," the 17th episode of Twin Peaks in our complete rewatch of the series.
Twin Peaks Rewatch 16: Drive With a Dead Girl
February 04, 2015 03:22 - 55 minutes - 46.2 MBFollowing last week's revelations, Laura's killer becomes even more brazen as he continues to evade capture. It seemed like the show reached its climax, but it's still building as we continue our weekly examination of Twin Peaks' original run.
Twin Peaks Rewatch 15: Lonely Souls
January 27, 2015 23:31 - 1 hour - 58.7 MBIt's happening again. Join us as we discuss "Lonely Souls," one of the pivotal episodes of Twin Peaks' second season, as part of our weekly re-examination of the show's complete run.
Twin Peaks Rewatch 14: Demons
January 21, 2015 06:55 - 54 minutes - 45.2 MBStories align, and plot threads clean themselves up, all while never quite crossing this week on Twin Peaks. David Lynch steps in front of the camera as FBI Regional Bureau Chief Gordon Cole, the Mill plot continues to simmer against all odds, and even characters who aren't teens can't help but act like them. Join us as we discuss Twin Peaks' 14th episode, "Demons."
Twin Peaks Rewatch 13: The Orchid's Curse
January 13, 2015 20:02 - 1 hour - 52.4 MBWe're deep in the heart of Twin Peaks-as-ongoing-TV-series now, as a bunch of action-packed sneaking around happens, while Donna carries the emotional weight of the series herself, in her seemingly-solo search to understand Laura's murder.
Twin Peaks Rewatch 12: Laura's Secret Diary
January 07, 2015 07:27 - 54 minutes - 43.5 MBEveryone is so distracted by their own lives this week that the investigation into Laura's murder takes a bit of a back seat. Fortunately, this week, everyone's lives are pretty fun to watch. Join us in our weekly look at the complete run of Twin Peaks, as we watch "Laura's Secret Diary."
Twin Peaks Rewatch 11: The Man Behind Glass
December 30, 2014 20:11 - 46 minutes - 37.3 MBTwin Peaks quickly dives right into the heart of the Season Two portion of Laura Palmer's mystery, and we follow right behind. Cooper and the crew make some strange breaks in the case, and a love triangle becomes a quadrangle, but there is some worrisome super-strength and regressive memory loss appearing at the edges of things. Join us as we take a look at "The Man Behind Glass."
Twin Peaks Rewatch 10: Coma
December 23, 2014 23:01 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBThe investigation slows as season two's new storylines take center stage this week, in our re-examination of Twin Peaks. Things get weird. There is creamed corn. Do you see it?
Twin Peaks Rewatch 9: May the Giant Be With You
December 17, 2014 04:10 - 1 hour - 60.4 MBI've heard about you... We are back for the start of Season Two of our weekly look at the complete run of Twin Peaks. This week the elaborate, mad race of plot threads that ended season one come to a head and start cinching together into focused knots, launching nearly everyone off onto exciting new trajectories. While this episode may be one of the best episodes of Twin Peaks, it definitely has one of the worst names.
Twin Peaks Rewatch 8: The Last Evening
December 02, 2014 19:59 - 1 hour - 61.2 MBTwin Peaks' first season is over, somehow ramping up every single storyline it touched, while winding down absolutely nothing. Though the finale left more questions asked than answered, we're only one third through the complete run of the series! Join us as we discuss our rewatch of "The Last Evening" and prepare for Season Two.
Twin Peaks Rewatch 7: Realization Time
November 25, 2014 22:16 - 53 minutes - 43.1 MBThis week on our examination of Twin Peaks, it seems half the cast is heading north of the border without telling each other, at least two people are wearing disguises, and everything has gone very noir. In the penultimate episode of season one, Twin Peaks' uncountable plot threads all line themselves up for the finale, and we sort through them with your help.
Twin Peaks Rewatch 6: Cooper's Dreams
November 19, 2014 00:58 - 57 minutes - 46.1 MBIt is time for a few small-but-potent character scenes, a lot of questions answered with even more questions, and a surprising number of meticulously blocked hero shots of the Sheriff's department, in week six of our re-examination of Twin Peaks. Join us (and the many helpful readers who shared their thoughts) in our discussion of episode 6: Cooper's Dreams.
Twin Peaks Rewatch 5: The One-Armed Man
November 11, 2014 20:48 - 1 hour - 50.2 MBThe magical starts trending toward the mundane in week five of our complete rewatch of Twin Peaks. Hopefully you're hungry for a of a lot of plot, a lot of mystery, and a peppering of moments which seem revelatory but curve into surprising bafflement, as that's what's on the menu this week, in "The One-Armed Man."
