Blue Rose Task Force: A Twin Peaks Obsessive Podcast

This week, your host John focuses his look into Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me on Dale Cooper, the FBI and the supernatural in-betweens they investigate. While piecing together Cooper’s story from his moments in the margins, you’ll get a deep look into the dream logic that plays throughout the film.

On the agenda: The Philip Jeffries scenes, Carl Rodd, Chet Desmond’s MO, observer effect, the right eye, the positives and negatives of traveling frequencies, and waking up.
Why shouldn’t Laura take the ring? Is Cooper the Dreamer? Or is he a hero manufactured for a purpose in someone else’s dream?
