In the conclusion of our two-part deep dive into TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME, we trace the turbulent production, Cannes premiere, and long road to reevaluation that has led some to now call it David Lynch’s greatest work.

This episode covers the shoot itself — from on-set tension and cut scenes to the mysterious ‘Missing Pieces’ — as well as the hostile reception the film received upon release and how its legacy has shifted dramatically in the decades since.

Along the way, we explore how FIRE WALK WITH ME reframed the world of Twin Peaks, restored Laura Palmer’s voice, and laid the groundwork for everything Lynch would explore next.
