This week on the Damn Fine TV podcast…

It’s time for a little Tibetan Rock Throwing, as we cover the third episode of Twin Peaks season one. To help us tackle this iconic hour of the show, we welcome the one and only Coral from @wholesomepeaks !

Coral highlights some wholesome moments from the episode, we finally find out if she’s a James girl or a Bobby girl - you’ll NEVER guess the answer! - and we also get sidetracked for a few minutes debating over who the better Donna is.

Plus, we’ve got a packed spoiler section this week. Among other things, we chat about our love for The Return.

Thanks for listening; see you soon!

We’re breaking down the second episode of Twin Peaks: Traces to Nowhere, and we invited a couple of fellow Peaks Freaks to help us out - Michael and Dave from @the_center_cut !

Okay, so Dave might be less the Freak and more the “I liked it more than I thought I would” type, but, you know, we made it work. Even though his feelings on the Log Lady are highly questionable, he disliked James as much as we do, so he’s alright in our books.

Michael has some great fish-in-the-percolator theories, and he even sticks around for the spoiler section to chat about some fun connections between season one and season three.

If you’ve never seen Twin Peaks before, don’t worry about getting spoiled, as we’ll be saving any discussion of future events for the very ends of our episodes.

Thanks for listening; see you soon!

Our long awaited return to Twin Peaks has finally arrived! It was hard not to just fangirl for 90 minutes - we’ve been deprived of good TV for too long - but we managed to reel ourselves in (for the most part) and give this episode the treatment it deserves.

We ask a lot of big questions this week, like: if everyone in the town you live in is cheating on their partner, does it really count as cheating? Why is Josie the first character we see? Just how big is James’ forehead? (Mells would say it’s a TENhead.) And, perhaps most importantly, are you a James or a Bobby girl? (Hint: there is only one right answer.)

If you’ve never seen Twin Peaks before, don’t worry about getting spoiled, as we’ll be saving any discussion of future events for the very ends of our episodes.

That’s a wrap on The Stand, and, honestly, good riddance. Turns out, not all books are meant to be adapted, and this is one of them. I guess we’ll always have Alexander Skarsgard’s butt...

Before we rip into the final two episodes of The Stank - I mean, The Stand - we spend some time ripping into problematic, abusive men in the entertainment industry. Specifically: Justin Timberlake and his half-hearted “apology” to Britney, and the recent statement Charisma Carpenter gave about Joss Whedon’s abhorrent behaviour on the set of Buffy.

That’s a wrap on Chilling Adventures! There are no more spells to cast, no more magical twists to be turned, and all the Tardigrade Mysteries have been solved. It’s time to bid Sabrina and the gang farewell.

It’s a very bittersweet ending for a show that was never perfect, but was always fun to talk about. In the end, we think CAOS made all the right moves in these final two episodes - it left us wanting more, which is a great way to go out.

We talk about how awful socks are; just pull your leggings over that foot hump! We wonder if TikTok is a safe place for 40 year old Moms - and throw a bit of shade at the youngins. And we ask some tough questions: Backstreet Boys or N’Sync?

Oh, and we also talk about The Stand, episodes 6 and 7, but that’s really just a sidebar. Here are the highlights: they did Trashy dirty. Flagg and Nadine are the best kind of dirty. Kojak is a good boy.

Please join our very special guests, Megs and Jaclyn, who stepped in to help us cover Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Part 4, episodes 4-6.

JUST KIDDING. It’s us! It’s Mells and Jasmin! Bet we fooled you with our incredible disguises!

What is even happening on this damn show?! These three episodes were all over the place, and though there were a handful of things to like, even love, episode 6 in particular really brought the season’s average down.

Here’s hoping that was The Fright Club’s grand finale and that the final two episodes close the series in the best way possible.

Next Week: The Stand, episodes 6 & 7

We’re tackling episodes 4 and 5 of The Stand. Who thought 9 hours was enough time to adapt the epic saga that is this novel? How do they sleep at night? Did they get a lump of coal for Christmas? We are stumped by so many of the strange adaptive choices in these episodes, and we continue to wonder what the experience must be like for those who haven’t read the book. If that’s you - do you understand what’s going on? Do you care about the characters? Let us know!

Even through our frustrations, we can admit that there was also a lot of great stuff  in these episodes - Owen Teague is incredible, for one - and we’re still looking forward to what’s to come. Just stop getting it wrong, CBS, okay?

Thanks.

We’ve prepared our altars, we’ve cast our circles, and our wands are at the ready - we’re here to cover Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Part 4 and solve these damned Tardigrade Mysteries once and for all!

Come join us as we discuss episodes 1, 2, and 3 of CAOS’ fourth and final season, which, to our delight, has started off in quite stellar fashion. Yes, there are still the same old “Sabrina problems” but so far, this season has us praising Hecate for all its greatness.

Looking for our coverage of The Stand? We’ll be back next week with our thoughts on episodes 4 and 5, so stay tuned!

You can all stop licking your jail cell bars and having your planchette-induced wet dreams, because we are back with more coverage of The Stand! This week, episodes 2 and 3 are in the spotlight. They were both a bit of a mixed bag, and so we have some very mixed feelings about them. One thing we absolutely agree on? Offering someone a million dollars in the apocalypse is just downright stupid. Oh, and Alexander Skarsgard is perfect as Randall Flagg!

Just a reminder that, next week we’ll be chatting about the final season of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and then we’ll return to our coverage of The Stand the following week. From there, we’ll be rotating back and forth until we finish both shows.
