Twin Picks Podcast

In this week’s episode we think we might be losing our minds... Or it’s all a dream. We’re discussing two movies that made your brain hurt: Mulholland Drive and Triangle.

Section 1 - Anything Goes

Advanced warning and apologies for the total nonsense afoot. Dan gets some VITAL information about Rubik’s Cubes and we chat about the things we recently watched. Nicole mentions Tenet after being let out of lockdown but Dan does his best to derail the Tenet topic as he still hasn’t seen it.

Section 2 – WTF Movies: Mulholland Drive & Triangle (2009)

As this episode's topic was chosen by Nicole, it’s her turn to do the topic intro and it might be the strongest intro yet.

Then we get on to talking about the featured films.

Next Week’s Picks

In a cruel twist of scheduling errors, Nicole is choosing the theme again and this is where we pick our films for the next episode.

Section 3 – Stitch-Up

For the second week in a row, Nicole will be reviewing a stitch-up movie and this time it’s Gooby shaped.

Next up we find out if Nicole will be watching Monsturd or Dan will be watching The Secret: Dare to Dream for the next episode, as voted for by our listeners on Instagram.

Lastly, we announce the films for the next poll so look out for that on Dan’s Instagram.
