Join us for a slightly different episode this week as we take a look at the big picture of the "Twin Peaks as personal unconscious" theory. Anthony asks how we can reconcile the lack of evidence of the dreamer in season one, whether the dreamer could still be Carrie Page, and we have a general discussion about planting the seeds for a dreamer in the early origins of Twin Peaks. Brought to you by the new hit comedy "Two Dads, Fake Show."
