Comedian and podcaster Joseph Scrimshaw is here to talk about comics books and Twin Peaks. Along the way, we discuss the consequences of throwing a cheese curd at a mummy, how Dale Cooper as a role model for non-toxic masculinity, and the careful balance of a story set halfway between horror and hope.

Signature Cocktail: The Diane

When the will is invoked, the recuperative powers of the physical body are simply extraordinary. Just give me a couple of drinks to get dressed.

2oz botanical gin

1/2oz dry vermouth

1/2oz sweet vermouth

1 dash green chartreuse*

Lemon twist, for garnish

Combine ingredients in a shaker with ice, and shake vigourously (or stir, if you’re a purist). Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a twist of lemon.

*Depending on your taste, you can vary the amount of Chartreuse from just a dash to a full teaspoon.
