In this first installment of episodes exploring Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, your host John sits down with author Scott Ryan to discuss the film and Ryan's book Fire Walk With Me: Your Laura Disappeared. They look into the timeline of the film's production, from script to editing and everything in between. You get the origin of the Blue Rose, details on the Grandson, whether the film is a sequel or prequel, and the contributions of Sheryl Lee, Ron Garcia, Mary Sweeney, Sabrina Sutherland, Lori Eschler, and of course David Lynch. John and Scott also discuss the cultural reaction to the film, as well as peeking behind the curtain of Always Music in the Air, the book on Twin Peaks music that Scott is currently writing. https://www.tuckerdspress.com/product-page/fire-walk-with-me-your-laura-disappeared Production by Mitch Proctor and Area 42 Studios and SoundAdditional audio editing John Bernardyhttps://www.teepublic.com/user/ruminationsradionetworkwww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkwww.25yearslatersite.comInstagram: BlueRoseTaskForceTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNTwitter: @BlueRoseTFpodhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioEmail ruminationsradio@gmail.comEmail bluerosetaskforcepodcast@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Twin Peaks Influences show up in the strangest places, but few have been stranger (or more unexpected) than seeing it in last week's new PAW Patrol special event, Jungle Gems. Your host John looks into the connections when the pups travel to the Argentina from Twin Peaks, how Ryder's origins are Cooper-based, and whether Nickelodeon had any idea this was happening.Production by Mitch Proctor and Area 42 Studios and SoundAdditional audio editing John Bernardywww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkwww.25yearslatersite.comInstagram: BlueRoseTaskForceTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNTwitter: @BlueRoseTFpodhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioEmail ruminationsradio@gmail.comEmail bluerosetaskforcepodcast@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Blue Rose Task Force Podcast is officially two years old, which means it's about time you meet its producer (and head of Ruminations Radio Network) Mitch Proctor. He brings his Ruminations From the Red Room formula to your host John, and they go behind the curtains for a Twin Peaks-centric conversation about the show, David Lynch, podcasting, the greater fandom, and upcoming plans.Production by Mitch Proctor and Area 42 Studios and SoundAdditional audio editing John Bernardywww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkwww.25yearslatersite.comInstagram: BlueRoseTaskForceTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNTwitter: @BlueRoseTFpodhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioEmail ruminationsradio@gmail.comEmail bluerosetaskforcepodcast@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Your host John takes the music of Twin Peaks on its own to look at how it was made and how it was used in the original series. Get a look at the various music releases over the years, and how Angelo Badalamenti, David Lynch and Julee Cruise began working together. Then explore the circular nature of the music, how motifs and instruments associate with characters and themes, and what the Lynchian lyrics can tell us about Twin Peaks.Production by Mitch Proctor and Area 42 Studios and SoundAdditional audio editing John Bernardywww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkwww.25yearslatersite.comInstagram: BlueRoseTaskForceTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNTwitter: @BlueRoseTFpodhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioEmail ruminationsradio@gmail.comEmail bluerosetaskforcepodcast@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
In the second half of our coverage of the Twin Peaks original series finale, your host John looks into the original script to discern Windom Earle's plan, explores the roles of each Lodge Denizen, and ponders whether Cooper failed or if he's at the beginning of something much bigger. 0:00:40 Intro0:02:35 What we already knew about Earle's plan0:04:25 The original script and Earle's plan0:08:00 Annie's prayer0:15:48 The ever-shifting Black Lodge0:23:10 Earle's plan enacted0:33:40 Lodge Denizens make the plan their own0:48:20 The changed Lodge climax and the 1991 Season 30:52:35 The Fed Room0:54:15 Jimmy Scott0:56:15 Little Man From Another Place1:03:50 Lodge Laura1:10:55 Waiter and Giant1:14:45 Lodge Maddy1:18:42 Doppel Lodge Laura1:22:32 Annie and Caroline1:27:25 BOB1:28:55 Doppel Cooper1:31:28 Doppel Leland1:36:10 Philip Gerard1:38:00 Jumping Man1:39:20 Tremonds1:41:15 Where did Cooper fail?1:55:00 Lodge Denizens let this happen1:56:40 Keys at the sheriff station2:05:40 AlchemyDiscussed this episode:Twin Peaks and Alchemyhttps://25yearslatersite.com/2017/06/21/twin-peaks-and-alchemy/https://www.teepublic.com/user/ruminationsradionetworkProduction by Mitch Proctor and Area 42 Studios and SoundAdditional audio editing John Bernardywww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkwww.25yearslatersite.comInstagram: BlueRoseTaskForceTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNTwitter: @BlueRoseTFpodhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioEmail ruminationsradio@gmail.comEmail bluerosetaskforcepodcast@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
So we've made it to an ending for the original series of Twin Peaks. In this first half of our coverage of Episode 29, your host John walks you through how the episode was written —and then rewritten by David Lynch— before parsing through the final Log Lady Introduction.

It's time for Miss Twin Peaks to anoint its next Queen in Twin Peaks Episode 28, and your host John looks into director Tim Hunter and writer Barry Pullman's style choices before analyzing the episode's time wonkiness, Cooper's intuition, and all the keys—physical or metaphorical.

Blue Rose Task Force returns with this gigantic look at The Autobiography of Special Agent Dale Cooper: My Life, My Tapes.

This week the podcast detours into the set of StarPics trading cards that was released during the hiatus between Episode 27 and the Season 2 finale event of Twin Peaks. Your host John looks into the mix of characters, iconography, locations, famous dialogue, trivia, and staff cards to weigh how seriously we should take these cards, Find out what makes this set fun, worthwhile, and even learn some interesting details about Twin Peaks plotlines that never came to pass.Production by Mitch Proctor and Area 42 Studios and Soundwww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkwww.25yearslatersite.comInstagram: BlueRoseTaskForceTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNTwitter: @BlueRoseTFpodhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioEmail ruminationsradio@gmail.comEmail bluerosetaskforcepodcast@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
The Lodgespace gets real in Twin Peaks Episode 27 and your host John sorts through all the ramifications of when Jupiter and Saturn align. From Earle's old Bluebook recording to Bobby realizing he's been a jerk, there's a lot of understanding coming to light here, but can Cooper see the Giant's warning? Love can take you places—just ask Audrey—but what about the possibility that love may not be enough?Production by Mitch Proctor and Area 42 Studios and Soundwww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkwww.25yearslatersite.comInstagram: BlueRoseTaskForceTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNTwitter: @BlueRoseTFpodhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioEmail ruminationsradio@gmail.comEmail bluerosetaskforcepodcast@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Twin Peaks Episode 24 brings us the petroglyph that solidifies the Lodge lore more than ever, and we see Windom Earle's modus operandi in full effect relating to Heavy Metal Youth. Your host John looks into all of that, as well as tracking how secrets are wreaking havoc, how Miss Twin Peaks is more than just a beauty pageant, and the number of possibilities grown from Love.Production by Mitch Proctor and Area 42 Studios and Soundwww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkwww.25yearslatersite.comInstagram: BlueRoseTaskForceTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNTwitter: @BlueRoseTFpodhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioEmail ruminationsradio@gmail.comEmail bluerosetaskforcepodcast@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Twin Peaks Episode 25 brings us a good dose of romance, hangover cures, and Owl Cave. This week's Blue Rose Task Force looks into what happens when the mythology gets a little more solid.Also discussed: Earle's infiltration of the Haywards, Ben's genuine(?) quest to being good, Gordon's hearing irregularities, and the supernatural leanings of Annie Blackburn.

Twin Peaks returned from a hiatus with Episode 24, thanks in part to the fan-made organization known as COOP (Citizens Opposed to the Offing of Peaks), which your host John looks into. Much of the episode itself focuses on the depths Harry goes to when the extent of Josie's crimes are revealed, And BRTF looks into his stages of grief and hypothesizes how Josie was only 65 lbs after dying from fear. We also look into Audrey and Cooper getting closer to their new love interests, a pine weasel attack, and the Major and Log Lady's tattoos having some things to say about the supernatural. Not to mention the levels Earle goes to when he learns Cooper is getting help with the deadly chess game, illustrated by his visit to the Haywards.Production by Mitch Proctor and Area 42 Studios and Soundwww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkwww.25yearslatersite.comInstagram: BlueRoseTaskForceTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNTwitter: @BlueRoseTFpodhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioEmail ruminationsradio@gmail.comEmail bluerosetaskforcepodcast@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Twin Peaks Episode 23 says goodbye to a number of original cast members, and your host John looks into the causes and the ramifications, both on the production side and in-universe with characters and lore. Your host looks at all the relationships ending—and beginning— and weighs in on John Justice Wheeler's first appearance. But the big focus is on Josie, so the microscope comes out for how she got into her predicament, who helped put her there and why, and a handful of angles for how the Lodgespace denizens got involved.Production by Mitch Proctor and Area 42 Studios and Soundwww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkwww.25yearslatersite.comInstagram: BlueRoseTaskForceTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNTwitter: @BlueRoseTFpodhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioEmail ruminationsradio@gmail.comEmail bluerosetaskforcepodcast@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Twin Peaks Episode 22 is either a breath of fresh air or an abomination to fans, and your host John sees both sides of the debate. He looks into the effects of it being directed by popular star Diane Keaton, and all her conspicuous camera tricks and internal points of view that won't be seen again in the series (at least not until 2017). Windom Earle's early shifting characterization goes under the microscope, as does the supernatural tone to Josie's entrapment and Evelyn's final scenes. Then John points out how Norma's setting of boundaries begins to benefit her, then tracks how Ben finally surfaces back to reality.Production by Mitch Proctor and Area 42 Studios and Soundwww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkwww.25yearslatersite.comInstagram: BlueRoseTaskForceTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNTwitter: @BlueRoseTFpodhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioEmail ruminationsradio@gmail.comEmail bluerosetaskforcepodcast@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Twin Peaks Episode 21 seems to manifest everyone's strongest fears, most notably with Shelly Johnson's life taking on all the tropes of a slasher movie, and not even Cooper's intuition can avoid being clouded by his tragic past. Your host John looks into all of that, as well as Eckhardt and Earle's arrivals, how empathy can turn devils into children, and help can come in the form of doctors, shrinks, and sometimes even Evelyn.Production by Mitch Proctor and Area 42 Studios and Soundwww.25yearslatersite.comwww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkInstagram: BlueRoseTaskForceTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNTwitter: @BlueRoseTFpodhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioEmail ruminationsradio@gmail.comEmail bluerosetaskforcepodcast@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Thank you for making 2021 a giant success for Blue Rose Task Force Podcast! Here's a little something for under the tree: an audio version of the 25YL article Navigating Between Worlds: Understanding Twin Peaks Season 3.

Twin Peaks Episode 20 says goodbye to Jean Renault with a stupendous monologue your host John explores for thematic and lore implications. Also, what changes did Lynch want director Todd Holland to make to the episode, and why? How do we parse all the sexuality used as a weapon this episode? What is Windom Earle's relationship to electricity, and what does Major Briggs tell us about the lore of the White Lodge?

Agent Elle is back with a field report relating to all things Cinema and Twin Peaks. She and John explore well beyond how Twin Peaks references cinema, up to and including how the origins of film and psychoanalysis relate.

Episode 19 of Twin Peaks is underway and storms are coming, but some characters are more prepared to weather them than others.Your host John discusses Ben Horne's descent via feng shui into a delusion as a Civil War general, while also looking into the influence of Ken Burns' The Civil War on the storyline. More delusion is under investigation with “may be the devil” Little Nicky and “she's a witch” Lana, and James' storyline is more on theme with Twin Peaks than it lets on. Has Nadine crossed a line beyond just healing? Is Cooper getting supernatural assistance with his suspension, or just help from Audrey? And how does it go for Bobby as he tries to connect to father figures?Production by Mitch Proctor and Area 42 Studios and Soundwww.25yearslatersite.comwww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkInstagram: BlueRoseTaskForceTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNTwitter: @BlueRoseTFpodhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioEmail ruminationsradio@gmail.comEmail bluerosetaskforcepodcast@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Denise Bryson arrives in Twin Peaks in Episode 19 along with genuine lore about the Lodges and your host John looks into the origins of both of them. Then it's time to ask if we're watching a new timeline, or which characters could be in a wonderful dream and which are in terrible nightmares. How is Denise's portrayal handled? Is Nadine living her best life? Should Little Nicky maybe get a therapist instead of Dick and Andy? How much in common do Josie and Evelyn have? Is Cooper doing the right thing not looking at his suspension with fear? And can he say the same for how he listens to the voice of Windom Earle laying out his fate for the rest of the season?Production by Mitch Proctor and Area 42 Studios and Soundwww.25yearslatersite.comwww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkInstagram: BlueRoseTaskForceTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNTwitter: @BlueRoseTFpodhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioEmail ruminationsradio@gmail.comEmail bluerosetaskforcepodcast@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Twin Peaks changes course as the Who Killed Laura Palmer arc closes, and your host John looks into all the factors (network pressure, a push for shorter story arcs, a nixed Cooper/Audrey romance, among other things) to paint an explanation of how the new direction came to be. Then it's time to ask: Just what did we miss in three missing days (and what we and the characters can't understand without them)? What cycles are ending, and beginning? What signs of the supernatural can we still see just under the surface?Production by Mitch Proctor and Area 42 Studios and Soundwww.25yearslatersite.comwww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkInstagram: BlueRoseTaskForceTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNTwitter: @BlueRoseTFpodhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioEmail ruminationsradio@gmail.comEmail bluerosetaskforcepodcast@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Agent Elle Holgate returns with a Field Report, focusing on a psychological reading of the “Who Killed Laura Palmer” story arc. She and John discuss possible diagnoses of Laura's killer, pertinent background and nuances thereof, as well as come at the question from a spiritual perspective. How do they tackle dissociation, trauma and responsibility, or how Twin Peaks' mythology works with these readings? What is said about Sarah, Maddy and Audrey? Is Twin Peaks told from Laura's perspective? And how aware IS Lynch of psychological understanding? There's a LOT to unpack in this compact episode.Production by Mitch Proctor and Area 42 Studios and Soundwww.25yearslatersite.comwww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkInstagram: BlueRoseTaskForceTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNTwitter: @BlueRoseTFpodhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioEmail ruminationsradio@gmail.comEmail bluerosetaskforcepodcast@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
