Happy Twin Peaks Day.

Back for the new year. We give an update on Wisteria/Unrecorded Night, but mostly we're here to talk about Hades.

It's been while—David's started pulling random numbers each day, there's a trailer out for the new Dune movie, and one of our *other* favorite shows has been canceled. Let's talk about it!

David's still going and so are we (sorry for the lack of Showgirls talk)

Back again. Hollywood Reporter article in the episode notes.

????????????

Ashley and Mat discuss the finale of The Return.

Returning guests Jess Lane (@notjesslane) and Brendan James (@deep_beige) join us for our 50th episode to talk about father-son bonding, texting etiquette, finger sandwiches, and dancing like nobody's watching.

Scott Benson (@ImSoSurePodcast) joins us once again as we approach the end of Twin Peaks: The Return. It's time to talk about Judy.

Joel Bocko (@LostInTheMovies) joins us for a Parisian dream, some sandwiches with cheese, one hell of a Twin Peaks clip show, misophonia triggering noises, a superhero origin story, and... the best scene ever.

Conga lines, gym sets, Mormons, existentialism... and a place called Drape Runner Corner. On top of all that, the return of our "favorite" piece of Twin Peaks music. What a week.

We talk about Agent Preston, Sarah Palmer, the long-awaited — and oddly frustrating — return of a beloved character, and we brainstorm the perfect way that Mr. Todd could be taken out (it involves a Wendy's).

Jess Lane (@notjesslane) joins us to discuss allusions to art, parallels to True Detective, and straight-up references to Se7en in this week's installment. Oh, and we talk about the Briggs situation... you know we do. Apologies for the echo-y audio — the Woodsmen may have interfered.

Part 10 wasn't our favorite, but it was a useful jumping-off point to talk about larger concerns with the new series. Plus, how can you *not* love Albert and Constance?

Three investigations. Two Coopers. One sweet, sweet boy. It's the Frostiest episode of the new series yet, and we're here to gab about it.

Our discussion of The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer — which assumes you've seen the original series, Fire Walk With Me, The Missing Pieces, Parts 1 through 8 of the new series, and that you've read The Secret History of Twin Peaks. Got that all down? Good.

Brendan James (@deep_beige) of Chapo Trap House joins us to discuss Part 8. We ponder woodsmen, soul orbs, gross eggs, Kafka critters, and "The" Nine Inch Nails — plus we take a moment to consider Lynch and Frost's original plans for a third season.

Part 7 feels like a real return to the town of Twin Peaks and this episode might feel like a return to the old Twin Peaks Peeks — longer discussions, goofier tangents... and some last minute dunking on Billy Zane.
