In which we discuss the much-loved third episode of Twin Peaks--or, as it's affectionately known, the Red Room Dream Episode.

Ben and Jerry take a boat ride! Nadine has a fit! Audrey dances!

Show notes

***SPOILER ALERT*** In which we discuss our reactions to the first substantial new piece of Twin Peaks lore to hit the world in twenty years--Mark Frost's novel "The Secret History of Twin Peaks."

Episode 1.5 - Pilot (Northwest Passage Part 2) Oct 27, 2016

Show notes

But we also talk about some of the running themes that will come up again and again in future episodes, the mundane/macabre events that serve as guideposts for the way this town seems to operate, and have a nice chat about everyone's favourite FBI Agent, Dale Cooper. Suffice it to say, there's a lot to talk about in this very special two hour episode of Bickering Peaks.

Episode 1 - Pilot (Northwest Passage Part 1) Oct 26, 2016

Show notes

Wherein we discuss the pilot episode of Twin Peaks. Here we meet the cast of characters who populate this quirky Pacific Northwest town where everything is not as it seems. We learn about their connections to each other and the murder of homecoming queen, Laura Palmer. (We also screw up and use the word "Lynchian" to describe not just thematic elements but directorial elements, which may not fall under the purview of the generally accepted definition of "Lynchian" but we correct ourselves eventually. And I think we also say that Washington abuts Montana, not Idaho. Oops. #UnitedStatesGeographyFail) But we also talk about some of the running themes that will come up again and again in future episodes, the mundane/macabre events that serve as guideposts for the way this town seems to operate, and have a nice chat about everyone's favourite FBI Agent, Dale Cooper. Suffice it to say, there's a lot to talk about in this very special two hour episode of Bickering Peaks.
