Three weirdos talk about Twin Peaks (and other stuff).
Melissa Kriha, Kelly Dowd, & Patrick Dowd
Because we've maybe (maybe) exhausted talking about Twin Peaks for a bit and you're likely looking for something new or nostalgic to binge, listen in as we take you into another world of fog and Duchovony (minus the panty hoes in this role). In this episode (recorded before the pandemic - ah how young and naïve we were!) each of us gives you an episode of the X-Files that we love that is stand alone and will allow you to dive into this binge worthy and weird in just the right way series. If you like the three we suggest try tackling all 209 episodes. It should keep you busy for a weekend. Meanwhile... the truth is out there ;) Here are the episodes we chose: Melissa - "Irresistible" Season 2, Episode 13 Pat - "Humbug" Season 2, Episode 20 Kelly - "The Post-Modern Prometheus" Season 5, Episode 5
Years have passed! We might all be in the Dark Lodge (we don't know). And Pat, Melissa, and I have barely, barely grown as people. In fact the first thing on our Shelter in Place agenda: -Twin Peaks Pilot Redux Are we George Lucasing? NO! But our pilot did not have our Dark Queen of Sass, Melissa (who let's face it, this journey is really about). We're righting that wrong and adding in an Oregonian Sprite named Alyssa who has a LOT of theories. Meanwhile...
No that pic is not a stock image of The Great Northern that is the real thing! As promised, the gang has traveled all the way to the beautiful Salish Lodge and Spa in Snowqualmie Washington to walk in the footsteps of Lynch and sample damn fine coffee, cherry pie, and Twin Peaks themed cocktails.
Like Catherine surviving in her rusticated family cottage on tuna-fish cans (or did she?, the gang survived a year without Twin Peaks and we need a FIX of that sweet sparkle. Specifically we'll talk about: -Big news for future episodes! -Our reflections on "The Return" a year later -Fave Twin Peaks episodes -General debauchery
Is it future or is it past?!!! No seriously... tell us!! Uncle Nate, Husband Pat, Real Spouse Melissa, and Me (Kelly), take our last trip to the Black Lodge via Odessa Texas and two very Lynchy Road Trips. Also, Bobby killed a guy... just a reminder. As this is our last full episode (special bonus features en route!) we want to thank all our Dugpas, Doppelgangers, Tulpas, and Townies for Listening. Thank you also to Tom Meier. Stay tuned for Riker Grew a Beard: A Star Trek Next Generation Podcast! Meanwhile...
Gotcha part 2! Our sleeping beauty is 100% awake and he IS the FBI!!! It is not a good day to be a Horne. Daddy issues abound for Richard, Jerry is looking at the wrong end of the telescope and Audrey... is running out of sand. In other devastation news, we discuss Diane and Cooper's final night together. Janey E. looks to hubby upgrade and Rodney Mitchum explains the plot of Twin Peaks in 4 bullet points. Plus.. the resurrection of a certain ship. Meanwhile...
We're on the Threshold Lynchies and there's some fear in letting go... In Part 15 is an episode of highs and lows. First and foremost a heartfelt sendoff to our beloved Log Lady. Nadine shows us that "true love is giving the other what makes them happy." Melissa gets GOT when we find out that Richard is indeed the son of Audrey Horne. How much does Kelly gloat? How will the magic of Sunset Boulevard bring our sweet Dale Cooper back to us? Find out this week in Laura Palmer is Dead: A Twin Peaks Podcast. Meanwhile...
Twin Peaks vs. Game of Thrones! The Nerds lose their last shred of cool by debating which is better right now. We're on a quest to out spoil with spoilers from: Mad Men, Homeland, Game of Thrones, Mozart in the Jungle, and (duh) Multiplicity. Uncle Nate has two big theories: 1. Andy McDowell Kills Puppies and 2. Tammy is a Manny.... she's also the new James! This week the Giant gets some re-branding, Pat is super serious about crimes against "The Mail", and we unpack why nothing means nothing in Twin Peaks. Meanwhile...
Muddy believes in one thing and that one thing is.... ARM WRESTLIN' !!!! Hear the tale of how Evil Coop took control of a rag tag bunch of Rockabillies. The Dowd marriage comes to a head over Audrey Theory- Melissa, Kelly, and Pat discuss the intricacies of a Double R franchise and the plight of Big Ed. In shipping news.... Jadine?! (That's right... Jacoby + Nadine = Sweet psychotic love) Somehow it all makes sense like a Boxing Match going round and round. Meanwhile...
AUDREY IS BACK AND she's wearing a red cape (which does not bode well). She is also decidedly NOT married to Billy Zane... wah wah. In other news red news, Melissa and Nate are unimpressed with a seductress little minx who we'll call "understudyTammy, "Gordon continues to be adorable, Melissa still is not sold on Richard Horne's parentage and things are not going well for Sarah Palmer. Turns out there are some things you just don't get over. Meanwhile...
How is the beard representation in Twin Peaks? What is the Bushnell Double down and most importantly... WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!!!! Find out on LPID: ATPP with special guest star Uncle Nate! Plus: Red Theory, why twos are bigger than threes now, and Briggs Family Therapy Hour! Spoilers: Gwyneth Paltrow's head is in the box. Meanwhile...
Who's your daddy Richard Horne?! The gang gets into a real parent trap about Twin Peaks Joffrey in this especially rowdy edition of LPID:ATPP with Special Guest Star Neighbor Nate the Nerd! In shipping news everyone loves Calbert (Candace n' Albert)... it's about time that guy got laid! Meanwhile...
Tom has gone to the Black Lodge but our Search for the Zone continues. Join Pat, Kelly, and Melissa as we tackle number theory, chair theory, and how Bobby is the center of the universe.
Holy Zombie Coal Miner Dugpas Batman!!! This week we discuss why the atomic bomb was the origin of Bob, what happened the last time Diane and Coop saw each other, and a LOT of Black Lodge Theory. Meanwhile...
Toad got skinny! It's a battle of the Douche bags this week with three, new Lynchian Villians: In this corner Stephen Burnett - the most aggressively Ginger adult male you'll ever meet with a coke habit and a super dumb ponytail to boot. In this corner RICHARD HORNE (yes Kelly went nuts over his last name) the Twin Peaks Joffery who targets women and little kids, also loves coke and has Sherilynn Fenn's eyes... finally to round things out- Ike the Spike a dwarf who kills people, you guessed it, with a spike. Meanwhile...
Lucy ate a Chocolate bunny and that's why Coop was stuck in the black lodge for 25 years - case closed! You never thought you'd hear it but Kelly makes a case for the return of Josie. Plus David Duchovny why won't you love me? These episodes have Three times the Kyle MacLachlan! Who is the mysterious woman Gordon and Albert are going to consult about Coop? Plenty of damn fine weirdness to sort through! Meanwhile...
It's here!!!! Loyal fans get some big payoff with the Return parts 1 and 2. Lots of old cast members are back and some of them have started their own Marijuana Dispensaries! Others are living in the woods and playing with shovels. We get answers on Coop's whereabouts the last 25 years and pick up with beloved Sherrif's Department couple... Deputy Brennan and Lucy Brennan. Hawk is still doing all the real detective work and STILL isn't Chief. Some things never change but most things do in the triumphant return of Twin Peaks! Meanwhile...
Welcome to weird! Fire Walk With Me makes Twin Peaks seem like an episode of Will and Grace. Remember the Mill plot? Yeah, those days are long gone. Lynch has out lynched himself on this cult classic prequel that delves into the final days (in gory incestuous detail) of Laura Palmer's young life. Plus... Bobby killed a guy! We'll talk you through it all as you uncurl from the fetal position. Meanwhile...
We are out of the muck and into the Black! The Black Lodge that is! David Lynch directs the finale of Twin Peaks and we're here to unpack it all: Doppelgangers, Earle vs. Bob (spoiler Bob wins duh), the bromance of Andy n' Harry n' Coop, civil disobedience, the dramatic conclusion of the Mill plot, and what Coop sees in the mirror. This episode made a fan of our resident Cynic. We'll see you in the trees! Meanwhile...
This week it's all about Townspeople and Tiaras with the whole town turned out for Miss Twin Peaks. Audrey throws shade on the whole thing and refuses to do lame dance numbers involving props thereby ensuring her place in all our hearts, Lucy has the moves and should have won! Alas, resident, beautiful piece of cardboard Annie is the lucky one after spending two minutes in our beloved Twin Peaks. But she wins more than she bargained for... all that and a bunch of rainbow trout as we speed toward a dramatic conclusion. Meanwhile...
