Twin Peaks Episode 20 says goodbye to Jean Renault with a stupendous monologue your host John explores for thematic and lore implications. Also, what changes did Lynch want director Todd Holland to make to the episode, and why? How do we parse all the sexuality used as a weapon this episode? What is Windom Earle’s relationship to electricity, and what does Major Briggs tell us about the lore of the White Lodge? The middle of Season 2 continues to have more richness than its reputation implies.

Two Agents' Worth of Mailbag

Twin Peaks Influences show up in the strangest places, but few have been stranger (or more unexpected) than seeing it in last week’s new PAW Patrol special event, Jungle Gems. Your host John looks into the connections when the pups travel to the Argentina from Twin Peaks, how Ryder’s origins are Cooper-based, and whether Nickelodeon had any idea this was happening.

Blue Rose Ruminations in the Red Room

Your host John takes the music of Twin Peaks on its own to look at how it was made and how it was used in the original series. Get a look at the various music releases over the years, and how Angelo Badalamenti, David Lynch and Julee Cruise began working together. Then explore the circular nature of the music, how motifs and instruments associate with characters and themes, and what the Lynchian lyrics can tell us about Twin Peaks.
