17: Arbitrary Law (Emily V. Gordon)

November 18, 2014

Emily V. Gordon is a producer (The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail), podcaster, and a former family therapist, which makes her a damn fine guest at this point in the show. She joins Allison and Jeremy to discuss one of the more satisfying episodes in a while (along with the big reveal episode).

There's something about guys in the 90's with wet hair...

In this podcast, the gang discusses Episode 16 (17 including The Pilot, or S02E09).

16: Drive With a Dead Girl (Jay Bushman)

November 11, 2014

Jay Bushman is a writer, producer, director, and a true student of television as it bleeds into the transmedia age. He joins Allison and Jeremy to discuss the troubling "backgrounding" of Cooper, feeling the filler, and the uphill struggle after the reveal of who killed Laura Palmer.

Save us, Shirtless Cooper.

In this podcast, the gang discusses Episode 15 (16 including The Pilot, or S02E08).

15: Lonely Souls (BenDavid Grabinski)

November 4, 2014

BenDavid Grabinski is a writer, director, and one of the best people you can discuss the Fast and the Furious franchise with, bar none. He joins Allison and Jeremy to discuss the biggest reveal of the show thus far. A "Special Guest Star" from Twin Peaks makes a cameo, so stick with us to the very end of this week's show.

In this podcast, the gang discusses Episode 14 (15 including The Pilot, or S02E07).

Special 2: Writing of a Mystery (Josh Weinstein)

October 30, 2014

Josh Weinstein was a writer on The Simpsons during what many consider the show's Golden Age. He joins Allie and Jeremy to discuss Twin Peaks as well as how it influenced Simpsons classic cliffhanger "Who Shot Mr. Burns?"

If you are a fan of The Simpsons at all (not even necessarily a die-hard), this episode might make your brain explode in joy.

WARNING: Contains spoilers for "Who Shot Mr. Burns?", including the name of the shooter.

A couple of recording breaks can be heard in the recording due to noise interrupting our intrepid trio, but thankfully, zero content was lost.

14: Demons (Russ Fischer)

October 28, 2014

Russ Fischer writes for Slashfilm, and has known Jeremy since "The CHUD Days." He joins Allison and Jeremy to discuss the good notes of Twin Peaks season 2, being on the fence about the 2016 return of Twin Peaks, and the out-of-print and hard-to-find Autobiography of Dale Cooper.

In this podcast, the gang discusses Episode 13 (14 including The Pilot, or S02E06).

Program Note:

The beginning of the second segment of the show (after the introduction of Russ) sounds abrupt: as if the result of an error in editing. It is abrupt, but not the result of anything other than tech issues outside our control eating a few minutes of audio. Those minutes are sadly lost, never to be heard again. Allison and Jeremy picked the discussion up in a way that still makes sense, but that sounds odd based on previous episodes.

In retropsect, this whole show should have been recorded on good old reel-to-reel tape.

13: The Orchid's Curse (Jensen Karp)

October 21, 2014

Jensen Karp is a podcaster and the proprietor of Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles. He joins Allison and Jeremy to discuss how LOST fell apart, the 2016 return of Twin Peaks, and the unpredictability of what would've been a 90's "season 3".

In this podcast, the group discusses Episode 12 (13 including The Pilot, or S02E05).

12: Laura's Diary (Ben Blacker)

October 14, 2014

Ben Blacker is a writer who created both the Nerdist Writers Panel and (co-created) The Thrilling Adventure Hour. He joins Allison and Jeremy to discuss how ahead of its time the show was and how dated Twin Peaks feels in retrospect.

The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer remains a point of contention as the group discusses Episode 11 (12 including The Pilot, or S02E04).

11: The Man Behind Glass (Joseph Scrimshaw)

October 7, 2014

Joseph Scrimshaw is a comedian, podcaster, and was an obsessive as-it-originally-aired Twin Peaks watcher in his teens. He had a Twin Peaks dream. No, really.

Joseph, Allie, and Jeremy delve into a terrific "Albert episode" in episode 10 (11 including the pilot) of Twin Peaks (S02E03).

10: Coma (Aaron Ginsburg)

September 30, 2014

Aaron Ginsburg (writer/producer of The 100, director of The Thrilling Adventure Hour) is one of the great pizza chefs of Los Angeles. He joins Jeremy and Allison to discuss visions of terror, sabotage, the troubling nature of Cheers, potential surreality, and how things begin to shift starting with Twin Peaks Episode 9 (10 including The Pilot, or S02E02).
