Script editor Donovan Renn joins us to dissect Part 5 of Twin Peaks the Return. We get overjoyed in Washington, terrified in South Dakota, confused in Buenos Aires and despair in Las Vegas. It's our best episode yet. All this and analysis reviewers seem committed to calling "gripping", "awesome" and "poetic".

Twin Peaks The Return: Part 5, with Donovan Renn

A podcast about Twin Peaks, with Andy Hazel and some extremely special guests.

TV & Film

Dragging Twin Peaks a Season Three Podcast back from the wilderness with all the requisite care and respect, is Deputy Andy Brennan. The man behind the icon, Harry Goaz, joins us to talk about his new role in the Eddie Alcazar film The Vandal. Fresh from winning new fans at the Cannes Film Festival, The Vandal (executive produced by Darren Aronofsky, and starring Bill Duke) is already being tipped to be an Oscar contender. Harry also shares his thoughts about his book Ballroom Harry Volume II, and of course, Twin Peaks, in all its forms. All this, and a wrap up of what we know, and what we can surmise, about David Lynch's new television series 'Unrecorded Night'.

An Interview With Harry Goaz

The four-and-a-half-hour YouTube video 'Twin Peaks ACTUALLY EXPLAINED (No, Really)' has inspired more theorising and critiquing that almost any piece of criticism since the end of Season 3. The brain behind it, a YouTuber named Rosseter, has divided fans with his bold claims and authoritative approach. While he admits he might change its name in the future, once the SEO has done its work, Rosseter won't be changing his mind about his conclusions that will, regardless of what you think of them, make you want to rewatch Twin Peaks.

For the final episode of 2018 we'll share an interview with casting director Johanna Ray. Johanna has worked with David Lynch on all of his projects since the filming of Blue Velvet, in 1985, including Twin Peaks and Twin Peaks Season 3. In the interview, Johanna is very forthcoming about her fascinating career and about the 2019 film The Happy Worker, directed by Twin Peaks editor and sometime director Duwayne Dunham, and executive produced by David Lynch.

An Interview with Johanna Ray

We're back with a discussion of the Conversation With the Stars event that took place across Australia and New Zealand in August and September. Andy finally got author Brad Dukes to sit down for a chat about his book Reflections: An Oral History of Twin Peaks, what life was like inside the hothouse of secrecy and leaks during the production of Season 3, and how despite knowing more than almost anyone, Season 3 defied Brad's expectations.

During the interview, Brad mentions Greil Marcus's mention of his book on Pitchfork: https://pitchfork.com/features/greil-marcus-real-life-rock-top-10/9895-i-need-to-scream-what-it-means-to-be-a-fan/

Brad also mentions the Washington Post article that samples heavily from an early chapter of his book: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/10/07/twin-peaks-is-back-but-its-a-miracle-the-show-made-it-to-tv-in-the-first-place/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.1b8443888ad7

And, in case you missed it, the TMZ leak that confused and excited everyone for two years, including Brad: http://www.tmz.com/2015/10/10/twin-peaks-leak-video-laura-palmer/
