Fire Walk With Me - Part 5 The Missing PIeces

Fire Week With Us concludes with our look at The Missing Pieces, which were included as part of The Entire Mystery Blu-ray set. We examine them for their impact on the film and the wider Twin Peaks universe, and some actual bickering ensues, don't miss it!*
Also on the docket is a look at the "Between Two Worlds" featurette that was also loaded on The Entire Mystery. Will it contain clues for what we'll see on May 21, 2017? We sure hope so...
Also! Stick around past the closing credits for a Marvel-esque extra scene you won't want to miss!
*Bickering may appear smaller than advertised.

Fire Walk With Me - Part 4 Questions in a World of Blue

Part 4 of our Fire Walk With Me dedication is a quick return to the film, and series, through the eyes of one of our Twin Peaks neophytes, Olivia. We rejoin her and husband Aaron for a chance to see the start of the series under the cloak of Fire Walk With Me as a true prequel. How does the Pilot compare to the film? How does the tone shift? What about some of the characters? And most importantly, can you still fall in love with the town of Twin Peaks after first being exposed to it through the close-up of Laura's brutal murder?
These (and other) questions are ones we asked, and Olivia provided her own unique take on the series thus far.
Do you know anyone else who's watched the film before the series? What were their experiences like? Share with us in the comments below!

Fire Walk With Me - Part 3 Theories and Conjecture

Part 3 of our Fire Walk With Me coverage takes us a little deeper into the theorizing side of the film. We invited Aaron back to talk about John Thorne's "Dream Theory"--laid out beautifully in Thorne's indispensable book The Essential Wrapped in Plastic: Pathways to Twin Peaks--as well as speculate about the origins, meaning, and function of the Owl Cave ring.
Do you agree or disagree with any of the theories put forth? Do you have another theory about Fire Walk With Me? Let us know!

Fire Walk With Me - Part 2 The Last Seven Days of Laura Palmer

**Deals with sensitive subject matter. Listener discretion is advised**
The second installment of our five-part look at Fire Walk With Me takes us to Twin Peaks in the late winter of 1989. We follow Laura Palmer as she interacts with her friends and family in the week leading up to her death. The tragic circumstances of her life are finally revealed in all their harrowing ugliness, and the mythology of the Lodges are explored in greater detail than ever before. But we still have no idea what's going on.
We're joined by former guests Aaron, Nathan, and Tasha, who returned to give us their views on the film. We also enlisted the brainpower of two total Twin Peaks newbies--Olivia and Simon--who haven't seen any of the original series and who are here to tell us if Fire Walk With Me can stand apart from a TV series they have never watched before.
Don't change that channel, friends--we're gonna turn this up. side. down!

Fire Walk With Me - Part 1 Deer Meadow Prologue

The first installment of our five-part look at Fire Walk With Me begins with the Deer Meadow portion of the film. FBI Special Agents Chet Desmond and Sam Stanley are called in to investigate the murder of Teresa Banks, a drifter whose body washed up on the shores of Wind River. What they discover leads them to believe this is more than your average whodunnit. We're also introduced to the J Edgars in Philadelphia--Gordon Cold, Albert Rosenfield, and Dale Cooper--and meet the mysterious Philip Jeffries, who has a lot to say about a meeting above a convenience store that he claims to have attended...
That's a terrible plot description for this part of the film, but really, how else do you summarize ANY part of Fire Walk With Me?

Buckle up, Peakies! It's gonna get weird!

We would be remiss if we didn't give proper credit to John Thorne and his invaluable book The Essential Wrapped in Plastic: Pathways to Twin Peaks, which we considered our Bible during the recording of Seasons 1 and 2 on our podcast. Thank you, John, for your work within the community and for keeping the flame so brilliantly alive these last 27 years! (Buy his book! Seriously, you will NOT regret it!)

Episode 29 - Miss Twin Peaks

Leo gains a little ground and releases the Major...and then Windom comes unwound...Annie writes a speech about trees (and seeks a little of Coop's expertise)...the Miss Twin Peaks pageant hits fever pitch and goes off with only one teeny, tiny, itty bitty little hitch... Strap yourselves in, Peakies, because we're getting down to brass tacks with this penultimate episode of Twin Peaks: it's 2x21 "Miss Twin Peaks".
As everyone in town gears up for the Miss Twin Peaks contest, Windom makes final preparations in the woods. Luckily for our intrepid Eagle Scout investigator, Leo has a change of heart and frees the captive Major Briggs, who returns with stories to tell. It all leads to the night of the festivities, and with so many women vying for the crown (and Windom waiting in the wings) it's all hands on deck for a showdown of epic proportions.
