The Lodgers | A Twin Peaks Podcast - Episode Fifteen: You're Just a Stranger's Dream

Episode Fifteen: You're Just a Stranger's Dream

02/01/19 • 81 min

Whatever you want to call it – Season 3, a “limited series,” or something new entirely, David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks revival is finally upon us, and tasked with discussing its first four episodes, Kate and Simon, are, well, a little overwhelmed. With the recognition that there will be plenty more hours to discuss, your humble hosts take the long view, looking at Lynch’s updated aesthetic tactics, as well as the new series’ expanded sense of both horror and humour.

Previous Episode

Episode Five: Bite the Bullet, Baby (ft. Ricky D)

To cap off Twin Peaks‘ first season, Kate and Simon are joined by Goomba Stomp/Sordid Cinema editor and longtime partner in podcasting Ricky D. Does the climactic episode live up to the landmark television that preceded it? We answer this and other questions, like whether or not Leo has been shot enough times, whether Mark Frost cut it in the directors’ chair, and whether or not everyone on the podcast knows who Drake is. (The answer may surprise you!)

Next Episode

Episode Seventeen: Coop On, Coop Off (ft. Matt Croombs)

Things get a little more heated than usual at Lodgers HQ when returning guest Matt Croombs joins us to talk “Part 6” of The Return. The more extreme elements of the new season come to the fore as Kate, Simon and Matt weigh the impact of some key sequences. Discussed: Lynch-as-camp, female viewers’ reactions, the hilarity of child murder, what the new Peaks does to the old series’ legacy, and a whole lot more.
