Creative Destruction Podcast

Hannah and Cameron rip into one of the lowest points of the original series. Who are all these new characters? Why are all the new plots so boring? How can the show correct itself as it heads into its final episodes?

Hannah and Cameron talk about the soft-reboot of the show, the machinery of the plot, Cooper's perfection, and alien abduction.

Hannah is excited to talk about her favorite episode so far. Cameron is excited to talk about the cycles of evil in families. They are both excited to revisit the all-magical Bang! Bang! Bar.

Hannah and Cameron compare the nuances of Twin Peaks to the unsubtle Dahmer show on Netflix (Directed in part by David Lynch's daughter, Jennifer). They talk about the benefits of using a surreal narrative, how Lynch employs musical fugues into his plots, and the love-to-hate-him aspects of Ben Horne.

Cameron and Hannah talk about nostalgia, violence on TV, Robert Bresson's Pickpocket, Ray Wise's incredible performance, and the answer to the Laura Palmer mystery.

Hannah and Cameron go on a DCOM tangent, talk about the film Blank Check, and, of course, the fabulous return of Audrey Horne.

Cameron and Hannah talk about an episode with dueling heists, a melting man, a medical revelation, and can-do girls who sometimes just can't.

Why is the court set up in the lawless Bang-Bang Bar? Where is Audrey's story going from here? Why is Donna's heist idea so awful?

Is Harry S. Truman a secret model for LL Bean?

Is Lucy the main character of this episode? Is season 2 following the same structure as a Gilmore Girls season? Does this show know what to do with Josie? In this episode, Hannah and Cameron talk about night fighting, stretching those hammies, and the value of a good Bookhouse Boy.

After a mishap, Hannah and Cameron record the second version of an episode that was destroyed. Turns out, the dry run worked well for this episode, where the conversation takes strange turns and gets metaphysical. The owls are NOT what they seem.

Hannah and Cameron talk about "Just You" and the famous BOB scare, the Horne Bros. Comedy Hour, the show's change in direction and in tone, and why changing the formula is both good and bad for the future of the show.
