Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me — Reading the Sounds Nov 15, 2024

Your host John is all ears as he continues looking into Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, starting with the soundtrack and music releases, and how the tracks are used in the film. Then it’s onto what sound effects, filters and frequencies may represent, before a look into Lodge-adjacent use of words, lyrics to songs, and what happens when sounds can’t be said aloud.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me— Reading the Codes and Symbols (w/ Elle Holgate) Nov 08, 2024

Agent Elle returns to have a conversation with your host John about the codes and symbols found in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me. They look for meanings within the TV set in the credits, the name Teresa Banks, Lil’s presentation, and iconography of the Jade Ring, utility pole, and the Jumping Man. What could it mean that the director of the FBI is the director of the film? Is Deer Meadow the shadow of Twin Peaks? What’s to make of all the superimposed imagery? There’s layers to be had in this episode.

Jumping Kokopelli
David Titterington investigates the fascinating connections between the Native American figure Kokopelli and the Jumping Man of Twin Peaks

In this first installment of episodes exploring Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, your host John sits down with author Scott Ryan to discuss the film and Ryan’s book Fire Walk With Me: Your Laura Disappeared. They look into the timeline of the film’s production, from script to editing and everything in between. You get the origin of the Blue Rose, details on the Grandson, whether the film is a sequel or prequel, and the contributions of Sheryl Lee, Ron Garcia, Mary Sweeney, Sabrina Sutherland, Lori Eschler, and of course David Lynch. John and Scott also discuss the cultural reaction to the film, as well as peeking behind the curtain of Always Music in the Air, the book on Twin Peaks music that Scott is currently writing.

S2E17 “Wounds and Scars” Mar 03, 2023

Twin Peaks returned from a hiatus with Episode 24, thanks in part to the fan-made organization known as COOP (Citizens Opposed to the Offing of Peaks), which your host John looks into. Much of the episode itself focuses on the depths Harry goes to when the extent of Josie’s crimes are revealed, And BRTF looks into his stages of grief and hypothesizes how Josie was only 65 lbs after dying from fear. We also look into Audrey and Cooper getting closer to their new love interests, a pine weasel attack, and the Major and Log Lady’s tattoos having some things to say about the supernatural. Not to mention the levels Earle goes to when he learns Cooper is getting help with the deadly chess game, illustrated by his visit to the Haywards.

S2E16 "The Condemned Woman" Feb 17, 2023

Twin Peaks Episode 23 says goodbye to a number of original cast members, and your host John looks into the causes and the ramifications, both on the production side and in-universe with characters and lore. Your host looks at all the relationships ending—and beginning— and weighs in on John Justice Wheeler’s first appearance. But the big focus is on Josie, so the microscope comes out for how she got into her predicament, who helped put her there and why, and a handful of angles for how the Lodgespace denizens got involved.

S2E15 “Slaves and Masters” Feb 03, 2023

Twin Peaks Episode 22 is either a breath of fresh air or an abomination to fans, and your host John sees both sides of the debate. He looks into the effects of it being directed by popular star Diane Keaton, and all her conspicuous camera tricks and internal points of view that won’t be seen again in the series (at least not until 2017). Windom Earle’s early shifting characterization goes under the microscope, as does the supernatural tone to Josie’s entrapment and Evelyn’s final scenes. Then John points out how Norma’s setting of boundaries begins to benefit her, then tracks how Ben finally surfaces back to reality.

S2E14 “Double Play” Jan 13, 2023

Twin Peaks Episode 21 seems to manifest everyone’s strongest fears, most notably with Shelly Johnson’s life taking on all the tropes of a slasher movie, and not even Cooper’s intuition can avoid being clouded by his tragic past.
Your host John looks into all of that, as well as Eckhardt and Earle’s arrivals, how empathy can turn devils into children, and help can come in the form of doctors, shrinks, and sometimes even Evelyn.

Navigating Between Worlds: Understanding Twin Peaks Season 3 Jan 06, 2023

Thank you for making 2021 a giant success for Blue Rose Task Force Podcast! Here’s a little something for under the tree: an audio version of the 25YL article Navigating Between Worlds: Understanding Twin Peaks Season 3. It contains—all in one place—you host John’s thoughts for how he sees layered reality being portrayed in Twin Peaks, and gives his evidence to make sense of it. We know this is just one reasonable interpretation among many, but we hope it helps you when interpreting your own journey through Twin Peaks.

S2E13 “Checkmate” Dec 16, 2022

Twin Peaks Episode 20 says goodbye to Jean Renault with a stupendous monologue your host John explores for thematic and lore implications. Also, what changes did Lynch want director Todd Holland to make to the episode, and why? How do we parse all the sexuality used as a weapon this episode? What is Windom Earle’s relationship to electricity, and what does Major Briggs tell us about the lore of the White Lodge? The middle of Season 2 continues to have more richness than its reputation implies.

Cinema and Twin Peaks Dec 11, 2022

Agent Elle is back with a field report relating to all things Cinema and Twin Peaks. She and John explore well beyond how Twin Peaks references cinema, up to and including how the origins of film and psychoanalysis relate. Lots to unpack in another deceivingly compact package.

S2E12 "The Black Widow" Nov 28, 2022

Episode 19 of Twin Peaks is underway and storms are coming, but some characters are more prepared to weather them than others.
Your host John discusses Ben Horne’s descent via feng shui into a delusion as a Civil War general, while also looking into the influence of Ken Burns’ The Civil War on the storyline.
More delusion is under investigation with “may be the devil” Little Nicky and “she’s a witch” Lana, and James’ storyline is more on theme with Twin Peaks than it lets on. Has Nadine crossed a line beyond just healing? Is Cooper getting supernatural assistance with his suspension, or just help from Audrey? And how does it go for Bobby as he tries to connect to father figures?

S2E11 "Masked Ball" Nov 01, 2022

Denise Bryson arrives in Twin Peaks in Episode 19 along with genuine lore about the Lodges and your host John looks into the origins of both of them.
Then it’s time to ask if we’re watching a new timeline, or which characters could be in a wonderful dream and which are in terrible nightmares. How is Denise’s portrayal handled? Is Nadine living her best life? Should Little Nicky maybe get a therapist instead of Dick and Andy? How much in common do Josie and Evelyn have? Is Cooper doing the right thing not looking at his suspension with fear? And can he say the same for how he listens to the voice of Windom Earle laying out his fate for the rest of the season?

S2E10 “Dispute Between Brothers” Oct 07, 2022

Twin Peaks changes course as the Who Killed Laura Palmer arc closes, and your host John looks into all the factors (network pressure, a push for shorter story arcs, a nixed Cooper/Audrey romance, among other things) to paint an explanation of how the new direction came to be.
Then it’s time to ask: Just what did we miss in three missing days (and what we and the characters can’t understand without them)? What cycles are ending, and beginning? What signs of the supernatural can we still see just under the surface?

Thanks, Mailbag, But I Already Ate Sep 30, 2022

The first third of Twin Peaks Season 2 has concluded and it’s time for a mailbag. Your host John reacts to reviews, talks biblical connections to Twin Peaks, and shares social media conversations on opposing philosophies. Then he shares how podcasting has changed his approach to analysis, and talks about a twitter interaction that’ll never be topped.

Psychology In The Laura Palmer Mystery Sep 23, 2022

Agent Elle Holgate returns with a Field Report, focusing on a psychological reading of the “Who Killed Laura Palmer” story arc. She and John discuss possible diagnoses of Laura’s killer, pertinent background and nuances thereof, as well as come at the question from a spiritual perspective. How do they tackle dissociation, trauma and responsibility, or how Twin Peaks’ mythology works with these readings? What is said about Sarah, Maddy and Audrey? Is Twin Peaks told from Laura’s perspective? And how aware IS Lynch of psychological understanding? There’s a LOT to unpack in this compact episode.

S2E09 "Arbitrary Law" Sep 08, 2022

Laura Palmer’s killer is apprehended in Twin Peaks Episode 16 and your host John takes you through it, from production history to the existential questions it leaves us with.
Is time compressed, or just the plot? How do we see inversions through Twin Peaks? Is Donna allowed to leave the influence of the Supernatural? How does the Supernatural surface? What is the culpability between BOB and his host? How will the woods effect the show from here?

S2E08 "Drive With A Dead Girl" Aug 25, 2022

Leland and BOB are in the driver’s seat this episode and everything’s a bit upside down in this spoiler-filled look into Twin Peaks Episode 15. Your host John digs into the inversions seen throughout, why the Log Lady intro might be talking about food, and how characters (do or don’t) manage their secrets. And of course there’s things to say about how BOB and his most familiar human relate to each other.

S2E07 “Lonely Souls” Aug 11, 2022

It is happening again—it’s time for Twin Peaks Episode 14 and the killer reveal. Your host John looks into who knew the answer, when they knew it, and how they filmed it. Then he looks into the secrets that are revealed as the darkness breaks through, what Leo and Dougie Jones may have in common, and how Audrey cracks Ben. Then the microscope goes over what seals Maddy’s fate, and what we can understand from MIKE, the white horse, the Giant, and even pictures of Laura and Margaret’s log. And of course there’s a deep dive into Leland, BOB, and what happens to Twin Peaks once he kills again.

S1E06 “Demons” Aug 04, 2022

Between MIKE and Gordon Cole, you know Twin Peaks is nearing some big moments. Your host John looks into how everyone’s secret plans end up hurting someone, before counting up how many different disguises there are. Then he digs into the (waning?) influence Laura’s presence, how much Gordon Cole seems to actually know, before a hefty breakdown of the final scene where MIKE recites some poetry. Put the coffee on and have a listen.

S2E05 "The Orchid's Curse" Jul 28, 2022

Your host John discusses Episode 12 director Graeme Clifford and writer Barry Pullman, as well as issues around Mr. Tojamura, and how the woods may effect the rule and letter of the law in Twin Peaks, as seen in Leo and Leland’s hearings. Then there’s a good look at the supernatural leanings of Harold and Nadine’s delusions, as well as how Laura’s presence could be effecting Maddy and even Donna. And how many secret identities are there? As many as there are secret plans? At least those’ll lead to Laura’s Diary and Audrey’s freedom, right?

This week looks into Twin Peaks Episode 11, and your host John welcomes director Todd Holland and sorts the the drama of the “Jerry Stahl” script, before looking into the illnesses of Harold and Leland, among others. Then Jean’s Stockholm syndroming of Audrey goes under the microscope, as does Dick Tremayne’s solution for Lucy, and how facts fare in Twin Peaks through characters like Judge Sternwood. Then there’s sifting through the multiple secret identities in play, and uncovering the storm’s worth of secret plans from Josie, Donna and even Cooper.

S2E02 "Coma" Jul 07, 2022

Maddy’s vision of BOB climbs a couch in Twin Peaks Episode 9 and your host John digs into that, as well as how Cooper gets more connected to the supernatural when the Major delivers his space message, and why Donna may NOT connect to the supernatural when she meets the Tremonds. This podcast also explores how Twin Peaks residents react to the “Have You Seen This Man” fliers, how communication crosses thresholds, and production information like Twin Peaks reacting to its new Saturday time slot, Harley Peyton and David Lynch’s only solo pairing, and why “Just You” felt like a great idea.

The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer Apr 21, 2022

Please be advised: The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer deals with issues of sexual abuse, violence and drug abuse.

We begin with a personal message from field agent Elle, then John proceeds into the book’s production history, Jennifer Lynch’s writing angles, Sheryl Lee’s relationship with this book, and how the book has been received over the years.
Then John looks into the different shown sides of Laura, how BOB and her fight against him is portrayed, and masking memories, before exploring members of Laura’s support system like Donna, Bobby and Johnny Horne. Then it’s time to look at Laura’s dreams and poems, the Log Lady, and how the book reframes and sets up the whodunnit in the television series.
This one gets personal, and we do our best treating this book with proper gravity and respect.

S1E7 "Realization Time" Mar 03, 2022

Audrey and Cooper’s parallel paths to One Eyed Jack’s are getting the spoiler-filled deep-dive treatment as the podcast digs into Twin Peaks Episode 6.
Your host John looks at Caleb Deschanel’s contributions to Twin Peaks, the episode’s omnipresent voyeurism, and all the boundary crossings—whether from public to secret, legal to illegal, or signing on the line from unofficial to official. This week also covers disguises, recordings of the dead, and waking up to truth. What happens when characters hastily go to the heart of the beast to achieve their goals?

S1E6 “Cooper’s Dreams” Feb 24, 2022

This week’s spoiler-filled deep-dive has tea at the Log Lady’s cabin as it goes into Episode 5. Your host John looks into director Lesli Linka Glatter, everything we know about the Log Lady, and what Margaret can tell us about living where the barrier between worlds is thin. You’ll also get various perspectives on the last night of Laura Palmer, and extensive studies into the complicated natures of Audrey Horne and Bobby Briggs in an episode where they both shine. Go ahead and pull up a chair—the fish aren’t running.

S1E5 “The One Armed Man” Feb 17, 2022

The deep-diving spoiler-filled journey through Twin Peaks finds it way to Philip Gerard’s first physical appearance. Your host John looks into how director Tim Hunter and writer Robert Engels came to Twin Peaks, what Lynch might be saying with the Log Lady Intro, and just how many doublings line Episode 4.
How does a darker Twin Peaks reveal itself? What does it mean to be a strong sender? What can explain Philip Gerard’s disconnection from MIKE? Why are Hank and Audrey paralleling each other? And why is a straight line not always the shortest distance between two points?

S1E4 “Rest In Pain” Feb 10, 2022

Our deep-diving spoiler-filled trek through Twin Peaks has arrived at Laura Palmer’s funeral and Episode 3, the fourth overall episode of Twin Peaks.
You host John explores Harley Peyton and Tina Rathborne’s meditation on death, Cooper’s definition of dreams, Albert’s battle against the town of Twin Peaks, and the ramifications of its residents acknowledging the strangeness in the woods.
What kind of town IS Twin Peaks? And how does it allow a dead girl to seemingly invoke Maddy Ferguson, or change Bobby Briggs until he can’t whistle past any more secrets?

S1E3 "Zen or The Skill to Catch A Killer" Feb 03, 2022

Cooper’s Red Room dream gets the deep-diving spoiler-filled treatment this week as Blue Rose Task Force explores Episode 2, the third overall installment of Twin Peaks.
Your host John digs into how and when David Lynch returned to the director’s chair then uses all aspects of Twin Peaks from 1990 to 2017 to analyze the iconic episode.
Audrey and Johnny match up with Kubrick again, music is in the air AND the Palmer house, throwing rocks explains the reality of the town, and a lot of people ask questions with no answers given. Do the answers come in the form of a dream?
And what is Lodge Laura? What is she really?

S1E2 "Traces to Nowhere" Jan 27, 2022

The deep-diving spoiler-filled exploration of Twin Peaks continues here here with the second overall installment of Twin Peaks, Episode 1.
Your host John digs into how director Duwayne Dunham established the tone of the new episodes now being filmed on sets in LA, and then uses all aspects of Twin Peaks from 1990 to 2017 to explore the Log Lady Introduction and Episode 1 as a whole. How does the show’s evolving mythology stay true throughout its run? How does sound design influence what we consider important? How influenced by the Red Room is Dale, and really, the whole town? What kind of presence is Laura Palmer and the house she used to live in? John puts on his detective trenchcoat to find out.

Twin Peaks S1E1 The Pilot Jan 20, 2022

The deep-diving spoiler-filled exploration of Twin Peaks begins here with S1E1, the Pilot.
Hosts John and Elle dig into the origins of Twin Peaks—from Lynch and Frost meeting, to the production history of the Pilot. Then—taking into account all aspects of Twin Peaks from 1990 to 2017–they sift for clues in the Log Lady Introduction, and discuss a healthy dose of Jung and Kubrick while looking at how modern Twin Peaks does (or doesn’t) reframe the mythology of the original series.
What kind of presence is Laura Palmer? Who doesn’t need to be told she died? What’s going on in the Palmer house? Are there signs of other worlds? What is the deal with mirrors? Is Dale already in the Red Room? John and Elle lay one stone at a time to find out.
