The Who Killed Laura Podcast Episode 42 - Let's Think Out Loud   After the holiday break, Scott and Christopher return for Part 9! There are a lot of fresh plot details following the very psychedelic part 8 and we dive right in and discuss them. There are a few fun but brief character scenes with old friends like Lucy and Andy as well as Ben and Jerry. Also returning this episode is Bill Hastings played by Matthew Lillard. It is a very dramatic scene where we learn more about “The Zone” and why Major Briggs' body may have not aged in 25 years. Scott mistakes Ruth Davenport for Rugh Dunbar from the 80's TV Show Bosom Buddies. We notice other antiquated references in the episode like the Marbles discussion and we even add a few of our own including the Kick The Can episode of Twilight Zone and the childhood knife game Mumblety-peg.

The Who Killed Laura Podcast Episode 41 - Got a light? Wow! What an episode! Part 8 of Twin Peaks: The return was Mindblowing! Christopher and Scott dive into the most psychedelic episode so far!

The Who Killed Laura Podcast Episode 38 - Off in dreamland again   It was a long wait for Twin Peaks: The Return part 5. We meet a lot of new people this time out including Sheriff Frank Truman's wife Doris and she has a lot to say. Unfortunately, our good Special Agent Dale Cooper doesn't. He's still struggling along. We hope he gets back to his old self soon! We meet Shelly's daughter Becky, her loser boyfriend Steven, and a young man named Richard that we assume is Audrey's son (but that is speculation on our part). Speaking of speculation, there is plenty of that going on as Scott and Chris breakdown the episode and talk it out.   Are you developing your own theories?

The Who Killed Laura Podcast Episode 31 - It struck me as funny! Welcome back to the Who Killed Laura Podcast, where, ideally, Scott and Chris open your eyes to the world of Twin Peaks with stunning insights and humor, but probably more often they ramble, forget character names and actors and struggle to string together sentences. This time out we talk about the “Missing Pieces” from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, the 90 minutes or so of scenes that were either edited or replaced in the released film, or deleted scenes that never made it in, including more with David Bowie's Agent Jefferies, more with the Palmer family, glimpses of nearly everyone from the series, and arguably a more satisfying ending. It's fair to say if you haven't seen these scenes, you haven't quite seen the film, although don't expect too many answers.   We want to hear from our listeners and now we can literally HEAR from you.

The Who Killed Laura Podcast Episode 30 - Goddamn, these people are confusing! We're proud to announce our latest episode is available for your listening Lynch-directed, Robert Engels and Lynch co-written film that served as a prequel to the Twin Peaks television series, recounting the final days in Laura Palmer's life as well as filling in how Agent Dale Cooper and the FBI first became involved, due to the mysterious disappearance of Teresa Banks. Scott and Chris discuss the entire film (as released) in this extra-length episode, from the expected greatness of Ray Wise to Sheryl Lee finally show how good she can be, driving home that at its heart, Twin Peaks is as much about horrible, all-too-real abuse as it is other dimensions, quirky characters, coffee or pie. The film answers longstanding questions as it raises more, like what does David Bowie's Agent Jeffrey's have to do with everything, and how did Bobby Briggs get away with murder? We hope you enjoy the episode and let us know what you think. As you may now know, we've got a few months between now and the premiere of the Showtime Twin Peaks series, so we'll be filling that time looking at the “Missing Pieces” (deleted or extended scenes from the film), more recent cast interviews from the Blu-ray box set, Mark Frost's Secret History of Twin Peaks: A Novel, and more.   Reach out to us on Social Media: Google+ & Gmail: WhoKilledLauraPodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @WhoKilledLaura1 Instagram: @WhoKilledLauraPodcast Facebook: WhoKilledLauraPodcast Tumblr: whokilledlaurapodcast.tumblr.com   We are on iTunes: goo.gl/O18jf9 or Libsyn: whokilledlaurapodcast.libsyn.com   #Twin Peaks #David Lynch #Mark Frost #The Who Killed Laura Podcast

The Who Killed Laura Podcast Ep 29 - I'll see you again in 25 years Welcome back to the Who Killed Laura Podcast with Scott and Chris. Happy New Year, and as the first bit of writing for 2017, it might be a good time to reflect on a 2016 filled with more loss than usual, at least for those of us who grew up in the ‘70s and ‘80s, or who, you know, felt like half the country went insane, give or take a few million voters. And while this year will certainly bring its challenges, at least we came to the conclusion of a rewarding series of podcasts covering the original Twin Peaks series and, once we discuss Fire Walk With Me and some other Peaks goodness, will have the long-awaited new David Lynch-directed Showtime episodes to experience. This episode, “Beyond Life and Death,” is directed by David Lynch, last seen for Episode 14′s “Lonely Souls,” and was written by co-creator Mark Frost along with Harley Peyton and Robert Engels, who had taken a larger role in season two when Frost was busy preparing is film, Storyville. However, as Lynch told them, he would be ignoring a lot of the script as he kept conceiving and filming scene after scene for the hallucinatory Black Lodge section of the episode. We'll discuss more of the shifting roles and alliances when we get into the Lynch/Engels-written TP:FWWM.  Agent Cooper's following Windom Earle into the Black Lodge to stop him and save Annie takes up much of the episode, but there's also Dr. Heyward finally striking back at Ben Horne for his misguided honesty damaging the Heyward family, Nadine coming back from her high school fantasy romance with Mike to a devastating reality where her husband Ed has taken up with Norma, Leo Johnson left shackled and perhaps fatally boobytrapped, and Audrey Horne, Pete Martell and Andrew Packard all perhaps succumbing to a bomb left at the Twin Peaks Savings & Loan by Thomas Eckhardt as a final act of revenge. At the time, this episode was looked at by some as a kind of thumbing of the nose at the ABC network, or even at the viewers who had misunderstood and abandoned the series, but as Reflections: An Oral History of Twin Peaks reveals, the many dire cliffhangers in this episode were intended to convince the network to renew the series for one more season. The well-intentioned gambit didn't pay off, and fans will have to wait a few more months to find out what happened to these characters, though some answers may be found (as well as a deeper mystery that may be explored in the series), such as the fates of Audrey Horne and Hank Jennings.    We'd love to hear your thoughts on the final epispode of the original run!   Reach out to us on Social Media: Google+ & Gmail: WhoKilledLauraPodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @WhoKilledLaura1 Instagram: @WhoKilledLauraPodcast Facebook: WhoKilledLauraPodcast Tumblr: whokilledlaurapodcast.tumblr.com   We are on iTunes: goo.gl/O18jf9 or Libsyn: whokilledlaurapodcast.libsyn.com   #Twin Peaks #David Lynch #Mark Frost #The Who Killed Laura Podcast

The Who Killed Laura Podcast Ep 28 - I hope it doesn't hurt this bad in a week   Welcome back to the Who Killed Laura Podcast! Tonight we discus the penultimate episode of the original series. Miss Twin Peaks, aired as part of a two part season finale that ended up being a series finale for the next 25 years. The Final 2 episodes saw a 3 million viewers bump in the ratings to a total of 10.4 million on June 10th, 1991. There was a 6 week break between the airing of the finale and the the previous episode, enough time to generate a little extra buzz for the show. The first half of the finale was written by Barry Pullman and directed Tim Hunter Scott and Chris discuss the Miss Twin Peaks pageant that, as speculated, includes most major female characters as well as the final stages of Windom Earle's plans, Eckhardt's mystery box, and Nadine's delusions. We are in the home stretch and even though this episode aired on the same night as the finale, you'll have to wait until the next Who Killed Laura Podcast to wrap up the original Television run of Twin Peaks. Of course, Scott and Chris will be back for Fire Walk with Me as well as the upcoming Showtime continuation and maybe even some special episodes on the various Peaks related material!

The Who Killed Laura Podcast Ep 27 - A fish I am not particularly fond of   There are a lot of fish in Twin Peaks, just ask Pete Martell. In this episode, however, Agent Cooper mentions one he isn't particularly fond of, the Red Herring. There have been plenty of those in town too. Scott and Chris are back to discuss the last episode before the two-part series (season) finale. Titled The Path to the Black Lodge, and airing on April 18, 199, this episode was written by the main duo of Harley Peyton and Robert Engels and directed by star father Stephen Gyllenhaal. The ratings held to only a small drop of a half million viewers to 7.4 million this week. There is a lot happening in this episode, but it starts with dead Ted Raimi, the Heavy Metal Youth. He was literally a Pawn in the game of life. We get some good background on Windom Earle and Project Blue Book. Also this episode has possibly the best costume in the Windom Earle Party City Halloween Superstore! Leo tries to stand up to Windom and Audrey says goodbye to John Justice Wheeler. More and more of our female characters are joining the Miss Twin Peaks pageant. Cooper can't get his mind off of Annie and the Giant is trying to send him a message. And all the while, Andy is trying to crack the petroglyph from Owl Cave. We can't wait to talk about it with you!   Are you watching along with us?

The Who Killed Laura Podcast Ep 26 - Sexual Maturity and Super Powers   Do you have any super powers? Are you mature enough to use them for good? Scott and Chris may not have the most mature discussion on this episode of the Who Killed Laura Podcast. We talk about the 19th episode of Twin Peak's second season Variations on Relations, originally airing on April 11, 1991. Written by the Mark Frost and frequent contributor Harley Peyton, the episode was directed by Jonathan Sanger who was a producer on the Elephant Man. The ratings this week fell from 9.2 million to 7.9 million viewers. There is a lot of comedy and romance in this episode even as Windom Earle continues plotting his deadly chess game. The direction of Sanger adds some new transitions that we haven't' seen before. Petroglyph images are shown and left to the viewer to decipher. Ted Raimi plays a Heavy Metal Youth. All this and much more. Let's dive in!     Are you watching along with us?

The Who Killed Laura Podcast Ep 25 - Sweetheart, My Socks Are On Fire Welcome to another episode of the Who Killed Laura Podcast with Chris and Scott. It would be nice if this was Valentine's Day rather than Halloween, as this is one of the more romantic episodes of the series, not to mention one of the funniest. This episode is written by the frequent team of Harley Peyton and Robert Engels and is the third time Duwayne Dunham directs for the series. The title of the episode (which were given for European broadcast, unsure by whom) is “On the Wings of Love,” perhaps referring to the 1982 Jeffrey Osborne song, which hit #29 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #7 on the U.S. Adult Contemporary charts. 1982 was a time when it wasn't uncommon to hear the instrument known as the vocoder on a hit song, and luckily Osborne had one. The episode starts tying various plot threads off (James Hurley's travels, Mike and Nadine's May-December romance, Andy/Lucy/Dick) while other threads like the Black and White Lodges, Project Bluebook, Agent Cooper and Annie and Windom Earle's Miss Twin Peaks revenge plot all start tying together.   Are you watching along with us?

The Who Killed Laura Podcast Ep 24 - A Plethora of Plaid As we close in on the season 2 finale, Scott and Chris are back with the Who Killed Laura Podcast episode 24, A Plethora of Plaid, discussing the 17th instalment of season 2, Wounds and Scars. This episode originally aired on aired on March 28th, 1991, six weeks after the last episode. As usual, The guys have no idea why there was such a gap in the schedule. Whatever the reason, it helped the ratings as 1.4 million more viewers brought the total to 9.2 for the week. James Foley directed the episode and Lost Highway scribe Barry Pullman wrote it.   Following a judgemental Log Lady Intro, an optimistic Special Agent Dale Cooper is speaking into his microcassette recorder bringing Diane (and everyone else) up to speed following the 6 week break. Harry is still sad and the Windom Earle is still playing his deadly chess game while apparently using a Party City's worth of disguises. Pete is popping up at all angles to keep the game at a stalemate. Annie arrives in town and Cooper likes the way she makes coffee. Eckhart's assistante visits Catherine. Hank and Nadine may be through. There is a fundraiser to save the Pine Weasel at the Great Northern where the titular Plethora of Plaid is on display. All this and more this episode.   Are you watching along with us?

It's time to break out a Pumpkin Spice Latte and get Spoopy with a new episode of the Who Killed Laura Podcast! Following hot on the heels of Our Sheriff's got a problem with his girlfriend, is What happened to Josie?  This time, we are discussing the 16th episode of season two. It originally aired on aired on 02/16/1991 to a 400,000 drop in viewers from the previous week to 7.8 million. This episode was written by current in demand TV Director Tricia Brock and Directed by Lesli Linka Glatter.   The episode begins with a strange Log Lady intro about Drawer Pulls and ends with some cutting edge Terminator 2 morphing Special effects! We get the addition of Billy Zane to the cast and Chris and Scott wonder if he has ever not seemed creepy (or creppy).   Are you watching along with us? How do you feel about Billy Zane? What do you think happened to Josie? What do you call a Drawer Pull?

The Who Killed Laura Podcast Ep 22 - Our sheriff's got a problem with his girlfriend Hello again dear friends! Sorry for the delay in posting this episode. We hope you were not too worried! Bob didn't get us! Scott moved and with all the packing, things just got put off! We'll be back on our bimonthly schedule now. As we get to the back nine of the season, we should be on track to finish the original run and the Feature Film: Fire Walk With Me before the 3rd season debuts on Showtime in 2017.   As for the episode, Scott and Chris discuss Slaves and Masters, the 15th episode of season two. It originally aired on aired on 02/09/1991 to 8.2 million viewers (a smaller drop than previous episodes but still half a million fewer than last week). This episode was written by the main team of Peyton and Engils with a surprise celebrity director. You'll have to listen to the episode to find out who (or google it).   We hope you are watching and listening along with us! We'd love some feedback! Did we miss something?

The Who Killed Laura Podcast Ep 21 - Asian Man Killed!! Greeting fellow Peakers! Thanks for joining Scott and Chris on another discussion of Twin Peaks. This episode, Double Play, aired on 02/02/1991 to 8.7 million viewers (sliding over a million from the previous episode). This episode was written by Scott Frost, brother of co-creator Mark and directed by Body of Evidence director, Uli Edel.   As the past catches up to suspended Special Agent Dale Cooper, Ben Horne struggles with his sanity (as does Nadine Hurley). In fact, the most important revelation of this episode of The Who Killed Laura Podcast the startling number of mentally ill residents of the small town of Twin Peaks. Is the White Lodge actually an insane asylum?  Is Dr. Jacoby the only one mental health care provider? If so, it is our opinion that he is the true villain of the series as well as the world's worst psychiatrist.   We hope this episode helps you stay sane. We'd love to hear from you if you following along with us!

The Who Killed Laura Podcast Ep 20 - Kiss Me, General Lee Welcome back to another episode of the podcast with your hosts, Scott and Chris, as we break down another episode of Twin Peaks, this one being “Checkmate”, written by Harley Peyton and directed by Todd Holland, originally airing 01/19/91. Lots of talk of fire and other energy (like radioactivity) from both Log Lady and Major Briggs, cooled down a bit with a sprinkler dripping onto a Polaroid of Briggs' neck. While DEA Agent Denise (David Duchovny) and Cooper arrange the sting operation on Jean Renault, Deputy Andy and Dick Tremayne do some bumbling sleuthing at the orphanage where little Nicky lives, hoping to find out about the sealed records regarding the deaths of Nicky's parents. Meanwhile, there's no additional chess move in the paper from Windom Earle, so he must be planning something else. Bobby Briggs is getting too big for his britches, dumping poor Shelly to care for dribbling Leo while he works for Ben Horne, who, instead of teaching him about shady business is still lost in his delusion of being General Lee, trying to redo the Civil War for a winning outcome for the South. James Hurley gets in deeper with the rich wife, while Harry has just gotten Josie back, only to lose her again as she becomes Catherine's indentured servant. Big Ed Hurley goes full steam ahead with his romance with Norma, only for Nadine's husband Hank to show up. Luckily, Ed's wife Nadine shows up and beats the crap out of him. Catherine comes to gloat over the diminished Ben, but finds not just sympathy for him but those old romantic feelings, leading to the title of our episode. The sting goes down, with both Denise/Dennis and Cooper getting some shots in, and that's it for Jean Renault's rein of terror and his framing of Cooper. Leo is maybe not so brain dead as Shelly thought, which is too bad for her, and an explosion across town leaves the sheriff's station empty, allowing Windom Earle to make his next chess move in person. We talk about all of this and more, so please give it a listen. For Little Nicky's sake if not ours.   Are you following along with us?

The Who Killed Laura Podcast Ep 19 - Persistent Random Misfortune Welcome back to another episode of the podcast with Scott and Chris. This episode looks at “The Black Widow” from 1/12/91, written by Harley Peyton and Robert Engels and directed by Caleb Deschanel, all very familiar with Frost's and Lynch's vision by now, and great contributors to it. Ben Horne is continuing to lose his mind, while Dougie Milford loses his life mid-coitus with his beautiful, maybe cursed, bride. She's got such an effect on men that even stoic Deputy Hawk is literally falling for her. The Little Nicky subplot continues, and we realize why he's named Nicky: he's the Devil! Or at least Dick Tremayne thinks so, and he gets Andy believing it, too. See, Nicky's parents died under mysterious circumstances. We see a young Molly Shannon playing it relatively straight as an employee of the Happy Helping Hands adoption agency. Nadine, still thinking she's a teen high school girl, has a crush on Mike. Air Force Colonel Riley is looking into Major Briggs' disappearance and fills in Cooper and Truman on Briggs and a little on the White Lodge.Catherine and Pete have dinner and she gets him used to the idea that Josie is their maid and that she's culpable in Andrew's death. Cooper gets another newspaper chess move from archenemy Windom Earle, as well as a career-and-maybe-life-saving bit of evidence from Audrey Horne showing that he's being framed for the cocaine trafficking, and that it's going down at Dead Dog Farm. Ed and Norma decide it's finally time to act on their desires, and Hank suspects. DEA Agent Denise turns Ernie to try to nail Jean Renault. James gets closer to Evelyn. The Black Widow silences her harshest critic, the mayor, and Briggs comes home, having lost two days. Lots happening in this episode. Not all storylines are great, which is a common complaint about Season Two, but this one moves pretty well and at least a couple of these stories are coming to a close soon.   Also, we promised to add some information the eponymous Black widow or as Scott refers to her, “The little red-haired girl”. Imbued with the power to make men swoon, the character was played by actress Robin Lively, half-sister to Blake Lively. She has been a working actress since she was 6 years old with notable film roles including, Teen Witch, Karate Kid III and many guest starring roles on television show from Punky Brewster to the Drew Carey Show up to the current season and even a few lead roles such as the night time soap opera Savannah and the Rush Hour TV adaptation.   Are you watching along with us?

The Who Killed Laura Podcast Ep 18 - It's a good color for him Welcome back to another Who Killed Laura Podcast with Chris and Scott. This episode of Twin Peaks, entitled “Masked Ball”, was directed by Dwayne Dunham. Looking at his body of work, one has to wonder which of these acting greats was more fulfilling to direct: James Marshall or Kevin Sorbo?  After the Log Lady intro sets up what will be a sort of chess game between Agent Cooper and nemesis Windom Earle, we get some stylistic deviations/additions this episode, including some rockabilly music for James Hurley, as he embarks on a solo adventure away from Twin Peaks township that is very noir in nature, just with more wood and wool sweaters. Evelyn Marsh is a sophisticated femme fatale who nonetheless has to sip martinis at a roadside tavern named Wallie's Hideout, and it just so happens she needs a mechanic to fix her husband's expensive old car, and her desire to escape her life coincides nicely with James'. Nadine Hurley's mental illness takes the form of her belief she is a teenager back in high school again, and in Twin Peaks, delusions are humored, so she's allowed to enroll again and try out for cheerleading. She also soon has her eye on Mike, who has seemed so lost (well, offscreen) since chum Bobby Briggs forgot about him. Slick Dick Tremayne tries to show Lucy he's a fit father by bringing around an orphan named Nicky. Hank Jennings and father-in-law Ernie return from a hunting/whoring trip where Hank and Jean Renault have coerced Ernie into getting back into the criminal life, and it leads to, one has to assume, the only STD joke in the series.  Ben Horne, exonerated but having lost his big Ghostwood Estates deal, looks at old home movies of himself and his dad and starts to fall apart. David Duchovny as Dennis/Denise has some fun scenes, and we dig more into both the meaning of the White Lodge (courtesy of Hawk) and Andrew Packard and Thomas Eckhardt, as well as Rick Deckard, Jack Rickards, and Keith and Reed Richards. PRO TIP: don't give your characters too-similar names. Are you watching along with us?

The Who Killed Laura Podcast Ep 17 - I Like To Lick And who doesn't? This episode of the podcast (and welcome to it) exploring the aftermath of the revelation of Laura Palmer's murderer and his funeral. Hint: it's Leland Palmer. The series belatedly tries to portray the town of Twin Peaks as not just a handful of horny weirdos but a real community of quirky, horny weirdos of all ages who care about each other. The funeral places nearly every character together and turns the decades-long feud between the doddering mayor and his serial marrying brother into comedy, or at least a few minutes of stuff that happens, that you watch, and that you then go about living your life without it having touched you more than superficially. Speaking of comedy, isn't mental illness funny? Sure it is, and that's why Big Ed Hurley and Dr. Jacoby get 40-something Nadine enrolled in high school, since she's mentally regressed to that of a teenager. Catherine tells Sheriff Truman what happened to her during and after The Great Mill Fire of 1990, and seems to have rekindled her faith in things Jesusy and not emanating from the forest. Give a man to open a can of tuna and he'll eat for a day, but TEACH a man to open a can of tuna and..oh, never mind. In the Subplots We Dislike Dept, Long and Slightly Bent Dicky Tremaine wants to be a father, but really isn't cut out for it, as he doesn't notice how dangerous it is for pregnant Lucy to be on the ladder. Did you know that Clarence Williams III only ever said, “Solid!” on The Mod Squad? Here in 1991 he gets to say, “Suspended!” about Agent Cooper, and, while a not great acting opportunity, it did serve to end racism for 1991-1992. It came back, but hey, baby steps. The creators of the show decide that even if she's not going to be romantically linked to Agent Cooper, there's not much use in keeping Sherilyn Fenn in bulky sweaters, so she turns on the sex appeal again to flirt and conspire with Bobby Briggs. She gets him a brief, seemingly unproductive meeting with Ben Horne, but it's good enough for him to offer to treat her to some ice cream, which is where we get the title of this podcast episode. The Trooper or Cooman ‘shippers will enjoy the sheriff giving Dale a goodbye fly lure and Bookhouse Boys patch, but don't expect a Truger ‘ship anytime soon, since Truman tells Roger he can take his cooperation and stuff it. And remember, you can't spell cooperation without Cooper. The M.T Wentz secret restaurant critic storyline comes to a conclusion as Vivian confesses to Norma that she's Wentz, and she can't violate her professional ethics to give the Double R a good review. Good parents are at a premium in Twin Peaks. Jean Renault and Hank force old con man Ernie into not only helping them launder money but also get him to partake in his vice of gambling again. And we see that Mountie who looks like William Atherton but isn't, is in cahoots with Renault. It's not all doom and gloom in the room of Truman, as a knackered Josie Packard comes back to her khaki-slacked macker's shack and hits the sack. Finally, Cooper takes his suspension in stride, or at least in forest, as he and Major Briggs enjoy a bit of fishin', campin' and philosphizin', before Cooper whizzes below an owl (illegal in Kentucky) and then there's some white light, a hooded figure, and go fig, no Briggs. Thanks, cool cats and hep honeys. Let us know how we're driving.   Reach out to us on Social Media: Google+ & Gmail: WhoKilledLauraPodcast@gmail.com Facebook: facebook.com/WhoKilledLauraPodcast Twitter: @WhoKilledLaura1 Instagram: @WhoKilledLauraPodcast Tumblr: whokilledlaurapodcast.tumblr.com   We are on iTunes: goo.gl/O18jf9 or Libsyn: whokilledlaurapodcast.libsyn.com  

Who Killed Laura Podcast Ep 16 - He's As Real As I Am   Welcome back to the podcast with Scott and Chris. As always, we want to hear from you what you think of it, what you like, don't like or think we're missing out on. No spoilers, though. It's been a long time, so a lot of this feels new to our declining minds. Although recorded before the tragic events in Orlando, perhaps while we can give David Lynch, Mark Frost and the other shapers of Twin Peaks for progressive attitudes to gender and sexuality, there is obviously a long way to go. The Black Lodge is close to too many hearts. As far as the episode, It's written by Frost, Robert Engels and Harley Peyton and directed by Tim Hunter. As the Log Lady intro suggests, after the revelation (of Laura Palmer and Maddie Ferguson's murderer) comes the sadness, which mine might take as a metacommentary on the arguable decline of the series from this point onward. But, and it's an important but, the question of why these murders occurred still remains, and right now, it's still compelling, as we return to the mystery of the old woman and boy magician, the little man from the Red Room, the Giant and the Old Man, and the connection between Leland and Bob . There's also the matter of Agent Cooper figuring out who the killer is and cleverly apprehending him. We also, somewhat awkwardly, bring Major Briggs to a more prominent place in our cast. And speaking of awkward, what was with that montage of still photos? Are you following along with us? We'd love to hear from you.

The Who Killed Laura Podcast Episode 15 How you must hate us white people!   Thanks for watching along with us! Last episode was pretty major and now that we know Who Killed Laura Palmer, Scott and Chris continue to discuss the entire mystery with the 8th episode of season 2 entitle Drive With a Dead Girl. The episode aired on November 17th, 1990 to an audience of 13.3 million, a drop of about 4 million. Maybe they lost interest after last week's reveal. The episode is written by brother of co-creator Mark Frost Scott Frost and directed by Caleb Deschanel. The aftermath of last week's revelation of Who Killed Laura Palmer causes a lot of new topics to discuss this week. As always, the guys start with the Log Lady's intro and work through the episode scene by scene. Are you following along with us? We'd love to hear from you.

Welcome and thank you for joining us again for another episode of the Who Killed Laura Podcast. This time we're covering a pretty important episode, the revelation of Who Killed Laura Palmer (not that we're going to stop doing this podcast now that that particular mystery is solved). The episode is written by Mark Frost and directed by David Lynch, and is the last time we'll see this particular credit. Lynch will direct the series finale with Frost sharing a writing credit with the other two regulars, Harley Peyton and Robert Engels. A blown intro by Chris leads into a pretty heady Log Lady Intro in this one, touching on both The Bible and Buddhism. David Lynch appears again as Agent Gordon Cole, the guy with bad hearing and not much else. Harold Smith commits suicide, or was it murder? And was it with his own superfluous suspenders? Is the little magician kid who looks like a young Lynch involved? So many questions (posted by us, not the show per se). Twin Peaks goes for the rare licensed music use with Louis Armstrong's “What a Wonderful World.” Leo Johnson with food dribbling down his chin vs. dead naked teenager wrapped in plastic: which do you find more disturbing? Discuss. Audrey Horne returns, dressed to kill interrogate, which leads to dad Ben brought in for questioning due to her revealing his deeper connection to Laura as mentioned in her diary. Soup o' the Day at the RR Diner is Split Pea & Lamb. Coffee is only two bits. Shelly will have to quit waitressing to take care of Leo full-time, while Big Ed has to deal with Nadine thinking she's a teenager back in high school again. We start to get into something, then put a pin in it for later, as we get into Tojamura screwing over Ben and Ben's rather amusing attempts to evade capture. Tojamura reveals his/herself to Pete Martell in an unexpectedly sweet scene. Julee Cruise, who sang the Twin Peaks theme song, “Falling,” which hit #11 on the U.S. Pop charts, #7 in the UK and #1 in Australia. She performed the song live, filling in at the last minute for Sinead O'Connor when she refused to appear on the episode of Saturday Night Live guest-hosted by then-controversial comedian Andrew Dice Clay. Cruise previously worked with Lynch and composer Angelo Badalamenti on the song, “Mysteries of Love,” for the film, Blue Velvet, composed when the This Mortal Coil cover of Tim Buckley's “Song to the Siren” proved too expensive to license for the film. Lynch and Badalamenti would compose the entirety of Cruise's first album, Floating into the Night, which hit #74 on the U.S. Billboard 200 Albums list. Aside from one track, her second album, The Voice of Love, was another Lynch/Badalamenti collaboration, drawing in part from their musical play, Industrial Symphony #1. Cruise continued a solo career separate from Lynch and Badalamenti on subsequent albums, as well as becoming a short-term member of the B-52s and making other theatrical and television appearances, such as Psych's episode parodying Twin Peaks, entitled Dual Spires. The remainder of the podcast is taken up with the astonishing, brutal revelation of who killed Laura Palmer (and who's now killing Maddy Ferguson), a brilliantly filmed sequence shocking for its day and still disturbing today, as well as what the revelation and prior scenes suggest about the cycle of abuse visited upon Laura and perhaps Leland before her, and how she sublimated it. We realized later Leland is not really saying, “Over my dead ass!” but we liked it and left it in.

The Who Killed Laura Podcast Episode 13: The Gifted and the Damned   Welcome to another episode of our podcast! This one looks at Season 2, Episode 6′s “Demons,” written by Harley Peyton and Robert Engels, and directed by Lesli Linka Glatter.  In this one, shut-in creeper Harold Smith abruptly closes his living novel on Donna Hayward when he finds she and Maddie snooping and trying to find where he keeps Laura Palmer's secret diary. It takes so little for girls to become unclean! We have a little confusion over whether the Roadhouse and Bookhouse are the same building. They are not, but located just yards from each other. Part of the confusion is that an interior scene of the tiny cookhouse was filmed at The Old Place Restaurant in Cornell, CA, which is much larger, books and shelves added to the real-life decor.  We discuss a would-be romantic scene between Donna and James and how we feel it's hampered somewhat by James Marshall's acting. That's just an opinion, and if James is your favorite actor or character on the show, good for you. Per IMDB, Marshall started as Jim Greenblatt, logging a few TV roles before changing his name and playing several characters on Growing Pains. Twin Peaks and its attendant prequel film were perhaps his career highlights, but he does a very credible job as the pained, confused Pfc. Downey in A Few Good Men for Rob Reiner.  The late Ian Abercrombie appears here as an insurance adjustor of sorts, making sure Leo Johnson is well-cared for. Abercrombie's credits are too numerous to mention, but often involve playing a butler. Some highlights include, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Northern Exposure, Wild Wild West, NewsRadio, and seven episodes of Seinfeld as Elaine Benes' boss, Mr. Pitt. In later years, he did a lot of animation voiceover work such as The Batman, Green Lantern: The Animated Series, Rango and Star Wars: The Clone Wars. He also did several episodes of Wizards of Waverly Place and worked with Lynch again on 2006′s Inland Empire.  Chris has fun reciting the Killer Bob rhyme. Are you watching along with us?

Who Killed Laura Podcast Episode 12 - Good thing you guys can't keep a secret Season 2, episode 5 of Twin Peaks is entitles The Orchid's Curse and this episode of the Who Killed Laura Podcast, entitled Good think you guys can't keep a secret, is jam packed! Scott and Christopher have listener mail! We talk about some details of the show brought up by Christian H, (AKA  @Propht19701). He confirmed the roundabout journey to the Twin Peaks episode titles through reverse engineering and translation from the German airings and confirmed the first appearance of BOB in Twin Peaks. He also shared a college paper he wrote all about his theory that Special Agent Dale Cooper is the killer. We hope to share that paper with our listeners! Also, we discuss the tradition of the Twin Peaks Real Time Re-Watch. The show starts on February 24, 1990 and every episode is a single day. So next year, snuggle up with one episode per day of BOTH Twin Peaks and The Who Killed Laura Podcast. We hope you can't have one without the other anymore! Now, about the episode: It was directed by Graeme Clifford, best know for the Christian Slater Skateboarding vehicle Gleaming the Cube and written by Barry Pullman. The episode aired on October 27, 1990, and this time the ratings slipped over a million to 11.4 million viewers.. As a correction, Lenny & Squiggy were played by Michael McKean and David Lander and the characters full names were Leonard “Lenny” Kosnowski and Andrew “Squiggy” Squiggman. This is a fact that has nothing to do with Twin Peaks. However, David Lander does appear in this episode. Are you watching along with us? Did you do the Twin Peaks Real Time Re-Watch?

Who Killed Laura Podcast Episode 11 - Filly Trouble On this episode of the Who Killed Laura Podcast, entitled Filly Trouble, Scott and Christopher discuss the fourth episode of the second season of Twin Peaks, Laura's Secret Diary. We have fond memories of the novelization penned by Lynch's daughter Jennifer that looked exactly like the one Donna finds at Harold's place. Directed by Todd Holland, this episode has 4 credited writer, Jerry Stahl (of ALF fame), Mark Frost, Harley Peyton, and Robert Engels. Airing on October 20, 1990, the ratings continued to slip, now down to 12.8 million losing nearly a million viewers from the previous episode.   Have you been reading Laura's Secret Diary?

The Who Killed Laura Podcast Episode 10: Any Relation to the Dwarf? Chris and Scott are back with the latest episode of the podcast, this time looking at Episode 10, aka Season 2, Episode 3, “The Man Behind Glass,” written by Robert Engels and directed by Lesli Linka Glatter. it aired October 13, 1990. Enjoy the first several minutes, as Chris is confused by two plot points that Scott explains to him without making him look too stupid. Chris gets back on track, arguably, with some observations on how the dark and light sides of both Agents Cooper and Rosenfield may represent David Lynch and his work. Or anyone, really. In this episode we meet Richard “Dick” Tremayne, played by Ian Buchanan, a veteran of many television shows, but perhaps remembered best as Duke Lavery on General Hospital in the ‘80s, reprising that role from 2012-2015. He also acted in the soap operas Days of Our Lives, The Bold and the Beautiful and All My Children. He has also done voiceover work in three different Batman animated series, a different role each time, and worked again with Frost and Lynch on On the Air as the character Lester Guy.  We note the One Armed Man, Mike Gerard, is a reference to the most famous television character to have just one arm, Prince Stitch-Sleeve from Pee-Wee's Playhouse. Just kidding. It's a reference to Lt. Philip Gerard, the dogged detective chasing wrongly accused Richard Kimble for four seasons of The Fugitive (1963-1967).  Lenny Von Dohlen makes his first of a handful of appearances on the series as damnable Harold Smith, the agoraphobic orchid enthusiast with designs on Donna. He reprised that role in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, and lest one thinks we're being too hard on him by describing him as a creepy actor, note some of his other roles: Blattis. Foster Batterham. Burton Jernigan. DeYancey Clanahan. Clifford Roderick. And yes, Creepy Guy in Hotel.  Thanks for reading, thanks for listening, and please let us know what you think.     Contact The Who Killed Laura Podcast at: Google + and Gmail: WhoKilledLauraPodcast@gmail.com Facebook: facebook.com/WhoKilledLauraPodcast Twitter: @WhoKilledLaura1 Instagram: @WhoKilledLauraPodcast Tumblr: http://whokilledlaurapodcast.tumblr.com And don't forget to subscribe and review The Who Killed Laura Podcast on iTunes http://goo.gl/O18jf9 

Who Killed Laura Podcast Ep. 9 - I Thought It Meant I Didn't Have To Take A Bath In this episode of the podcast, we discuss Season 2, Episode 2′s “Coma,” written by Harley Peyton and directed by David Lynch. Your mileage may vary, but in this episode we find the blend of drama, mystery and quirky comedy to be an uneasier fit than in the better episodes.  This isn't to say there aren't some great, interesting and unsettling elements in this one, like the magical creamed corn little David Lynch boy, a full minute or more of characters adjusting chairs, a smoked cheese piggy, lots and lots of Scotch tape, the unfortunate first look at Leo Johnson's voluminous chest and back hair, and the first mention of Dale Cooper's former partner, Windom Earle, who doesn't take center stage for another nine episodes.  This is the second and last time Lynch directs back-to-back episodes. He will direct just two more in the series, in large part due to being busy filming Wild at Heart at this time. Peyton writes his third episode of what will be thirteen episodes he either writes or co-writes.  We wonder if the character of Mike Nelson, Bobby's friend and drug-pushing accomplice, and former boyfriend of Donna Hayward, had been written off the show. He returns in Episode 15 (Season 2, Episode 7), an important episode for reasons having nothing to do with him, as usual. No offense meant to actor Gary Hershberger, of course. Inglewood native Hershberger would reprise the role of Mike in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, then go on to a solid career on television, appearing in such series as Murder, She Wrote, JAG, Chicago Hope, Grey's Anatomy, Six Feet Under, and Big Love, among others.  The song James Hurley apparently composed for Laura, which he sings with Donna and Maddy in the living room, accompanied by an unseen rhythm section, is “Just You and I,” a Lynch/Badalamenti composition. The actors, Lee, Marshall and Boyle, provided their own vocals. 

Who Killed Laura Podcast Episode 8 - A real 3 Hanky Crime   Scott and Christopher return to discuss the first episode of the second season of Twin Peaks, “May the Giant Be With You”. Directed by David Lynch with a story by David Lynch and Mark Frost, and a teleplay by Mark Frost, this episode sets expectations high. Airing on September 30th, 1990 to an audience of 19.1 million the second season opener barely managed to improve on the ratings of the finale. The Log Lady intro is all about dreams and she asks if every person in our dreams is actually us. When last we left Twin Peaks, Agent Cooper had been shot three times by an unknown assailant, This episode picks up moments later with cooper on the floor and a tall elderly member of the Great Northern staff bringing Cooper his warm milk. The mysterious and potentially supernatural elements kick into high gear as a giant tells Cooper in a vision three important things. When Cooper wakes up in the hospital, the audience gets caught up on all the cliffhangers from the finale with Lucy playing the part of a “Previously on…” Leland seems happier this season and he has a shocking new hairstyle. There are a lot of scenes in Twin Peaks Hospital and Albert has his moments good and bad. Bobby and Major Briggs have a touching moment at the Double R an we see a family dinner at the Hayward's with the Palmers as guests that includes a song and dance. The extended season premier has a good deal of the trademark Lynch quirk and may have dragged a bit in parts. Did this episode live up to your expectations from Lynch and Frost?

We're back with a new episode, this one on Episode Four (the fifth episode of Season One), titled, “The One-Armed Man.” It aired May 3, 1990 and was seen by 11.9% of US households, up slightly from the previous episode's 11.3%.  The episode was written by Robert Engels, who would continue his association with Lynch and Frost through 1992, co-writing Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me and co-executive producing their short-lived follow-up series, On the Air. He worked on other series such as Andromeda and seaQuest DSV until 2005. He now teaches screenwriting at Cal State Fullerton. Engels writes two more episodes, 16 and 28, both in Season Two. In this episode, he writes most of Gordon Cole's dialogue, drawing on his experience with his mother, who was also hard of hearing. Engels feels the three biggest influences on the series are The Wild, Wild West, Mayberry R.F.D. and The Fugitive, and the latter certainly is reflected in the One-Armed Man.  This episode introduces David Lynch as FBI agent Gordon Cole (contrary to Scott's comments in the podcast that he had been heard before). Lynch liked the idea of idea of speaking his lines at high volume, and so the character was written as hard of hearing. Tim Hunter directed this episode, citing the techniques of Otto Preminger as an influence. He knew Lynch from their time studying together at the American Film Institute. Hunter would go on to direct the 9th and 21st episodes of Season Two as well. He has had a fantastic directing career, working on such series as, Carnivale, House M.D., Deadwood, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Dexter, Hannibal and even the Peaks-influenced, Wayward Pines.  This is the only episode of the series to use a Dutch angle shot (the camera is tilted so the horizon line is not parallel to the bottom of the screen, usually to suggest uneasiness, a world out of balance). Only Hunter was allowed to use this; the angle was otherwise forbidden by Lynch and Frost on the series.  The “washing Little Elvis” joke reminded Scott of SNL's “Tiny Elvis” sketch, starring Elvis fan (to the extent he married his daughter) and Lynch alum, Nicolas Cage. It aired a couple years after TP, in 1992.    Google + and Gmail: WhoKilledLauraPodcast@gmail.com Facebook: facebook.com/WhoKilledLauraPodcast Twitter: @WhoKilledLaura1 Instagram: @WhoKilledLauraPodcast Tumblr: http://whokilledlaurapodcast.tumblr.com  

Welcome back and please enjoy this bonus episode of the Who Killed Laura Podcast. This is actually from the first podcast we did, where we talked about the pilot episode of Twin Peaks, and once we'd done that we kept going and discussed the “International Version” of the pilot. We were already long on the pilot podcast, so we cut this piece off for this bonus episode. We present it now because it makes sense in the chronology of the series, as Episode 3 was the last to use dream sequence footage from that international version. From here on, it's all new stuff. The International (or “European”) Version results from an agreement made with ABC so that, if the pilot was not picked up for series, they could recoup their investment by selling it with additional scenes shot to provide closure as a quasi-feature film. Indeed, executives were initially cool on the pilot, not agreeing to a small 7 episode commitment until a younger, hipper group saw it and were more favorable. As discussed in the podcast, Lynch's and Frost's vision as realized in this version is a little more typical police procedural, with no overt supernatural elements.  This version is identical to the U.S. television pilot (94 minutes) up to its additional seven scenes, totaling 22 more minutes for a 116 running time. Lynch was obviously pleased with this footage, as it is used again early in Season One. What is interesting about the pilot and initial creation of the series is not so much the road not taken with the International Version (not many would prefer this over the series) but how organic and instinctive Lynch's creative process is. For example, The One Armed Man was written because Lynch had already met one-armed actor Al Strobel and wanted merely to include him in a brief scene exiting the hospital, a nod to the famous One Armed Man from ‘70s series, The Fugitive, down to the character's name, Philip Michael Gerard being a reference to Lt. Philip Gerard from that series. However, after Lynch wrote the “Fire walk with me” speech, he envisioned Strobel reading it in the basement of that hospital, and enlarged the part.  A second example: Sheryl Lee was cast merely because she was local and there were no aims for her to do anything but play dead. But when she filmed the scene with Donna where they're goofing around for James' camera, Lynch and the rest were captivated, and created the character of Laura's cousin, Maddy Ferguson, to give her more to do.  Third example: set dresser Frank Silva was accidentally captured in a mirror in a scene, and it inspired Lynch to consider casting Silva. He also overheard a crew member warn Silva about getting trapped behind furniture, which led to Lynch envisioning Silva crouched behind the bed frame in the very memorable first time we see him as the murderous, perhaps inhuman Killer Bob. Lynch had no idea if Silva had any acting ability.  A fourth example: during the scene in which Cooper first examines Laura Palmer's body, an overhead light was malfunctioning, blinking off for brief intervals. Lynch liked the disorienting effect and kept it. The famous Twin Peaks theme was composed by Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti in 20 minutes. Lynch knew immediately that this was the major theme and that, with variations, “75%” of the music for the series was done. The two would also borrow from their work on Julee Cruise's 1989 album, Floating into the Night, for more Peaks music, and she would get to sing “Falling” on the show, after the instrumental version of the song had already been used.  Much of the exterior filming of Twin Peaks' took place in Snoqualmie, North Bend and Fall City, WA, with other exteriors often shot in the wooded areas of Malibu, CA. Interiors were mostly in a San Fernando warehouse.      Google + and Gmail: WhoKilledLauraPodcast@gmail.com Facebook: facebook.com/WhoKilledLauraPodcast Twitter: @WhoKilledLaura1 Instagram: @WhoKilledLauraPodcast Tumblr: http://whokilledlaurapodcast.tumblr.com

WKLP Episode 3 - Do You Know Where Dreams Come From? Scott and Chris are back with another episode of the podcast, this one focusing on Season One, Episode 3′s “Rest in Pain,” originally broadcast April 26, 1990. The episode was written by Harley Peyton, who ‘80s kids may have first noticed as the screenwriter of 1987′s Less Than Zero, based on the novel by Bret Easton Ellis. Peyton would go on to write and/or produce some pretty poor films like Heaven's Prisoners and Bandits in the early ‘00s and more recently worked on television series such as Dracula. Peyton was nominated for writing this episode, as was Mark Frost for writing the pilot. Before one argues that the split votes resulted in David E. Kelley winning for L.A. Law, Kelley was nominated with William M. Finkelstein for a different episode. Joseph Dougherty was also nominated, for thirtysomething. As long as we're talking Emmys, here are the Peaks nominations, with the winners in parentheses: David Lynch - Outstanding Directing in a Drama Series for the pilot, (Thomas Carter - Equal Justice/Scott Winant - thirtysomething)(tie) Kyle MacLachlan -  Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series (Peter Falk - Columbo) Piper Laurie - Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series (odd choice to push her as a lead actress)(Patricia Wettig - thirtysomething) Sherilyn Fenn - Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series (Marg Helgenberger - China Beach) Twin Peaks - Outstanding Drama Series (L.A. Law) ABC did tie with NBC for most major nominations with 47, and won the most awards with 11, beating CBS with 10, NBC with 8, HBO with 3 and Fox with 2. HBO's 11 nominations were primarily for original movies and specials; they were just starting with original series. This episode had 16.7 million viewers, so another 2.5M dropped off from the previous week. There were at least two scenes in questionable taste featuring a male figure straddling either Laura Palmer's corpse or her coffin, so perhaps the   early ‘90s sensibilities of some fans were offended. The title of the episode is, “Rest in Pain.” As usual, we titled the podcast on a line of dialogue from the episode. The episode was directed by Tina Rathborne, who would go on to direct one more episode of the series, episode #17. She previously directed Isabella Rossellini in the feature film, Zelly and Me, and of course, Rossellini was in Lynch's Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart. Rathbone borrowed some bits from the previous episode's dream sequence with Lynch's permission, wanting to add visual flair to an episode she felt was heavy with characters sitting and talking. Rathbone would praise the banal, mundane elements of life in Twin Peaks and the boy next door character of Agent Cooper, which made the violent, lurid and surreal elements more striking. Rathbone describes the series as a Bildungsroman, a German term for a novel of formation/education/culture, as Agent Cooper learns over the course of the series to become a more enlightened, well-rounded person. She also points out that in Cooper, Lynch and Frost introduced Carl Jung's theories of analytical psychology, which deals with and introduces such concepts as the personal and collective unconscious, and places great emphasis on symbols, anima and animus, the ego, and the shadow. The episode introduces two significant characters but also a secret group, The Bookhouse Boys, an extralegal fraternal order consisting of two actual police, Sheriff Truman and Deputy Hawk, as well as Big Ed Hurley. The setting for the Bookhouse was a real location, That Old Place Restaurant in Cornell, CA, much the same as seen on screen but with the bookcases and books added. Other episodes featuring The Bookhouse would feature a set, quite a bit larger and with more rooms than possible, based on the dimensions of the outside. The Bookhouse Boys insignia is that of a tree with a golden sword essentially taking the place of the trunk and spine of the tree. Miguel Ferrer debuts this episode as FBI agent Albert Rosenfeld, getting some great scenes condescending to Twin Peaks' Sheriff's Department, whom he sees as backwoods clods. Ferrer, son of Oscar-winning actor/director Jose Ferrer, would reprise his role in TP:FWWM. His other film, TV and animation voice credits are too numerous to mention, including roles in the holy trinity of network investigative dramas, CSI, NCIS and Law & Order. Ferrer's work as Albert was well-received by critics, and Ferrer was reportedly a welcome addition to the set, bringing a lot of laughter to his approach to the character. Sheryl Lee doesn't debut, exactly, but gets her first shot really acting and talking onscreen, not as Laura Palmer, but as her cousin, Madeleine “Maddy” Ferguson, a nerdier, brunette version of Laura who seems to be as decent and nice as many thought Laura was. She comes from Missoula, Montana, Lynch's real birthplace. We'll discuss duality in Lynch's work down the road more, but let's note here that Maddy's name is itself a reference to one of the great cinematic explorations of duality, Hitchcock's Vertigo, which featured Kim Novak as Madeleine and James Stewart as Scottie Ferguson. We question the acting skills of Dana Ashbrook in this episode, a San Diego native with two sisters also in the industry, but he's had a decent career as well, mostly in TV (CSI, Blue Bloods, Law & Order), and no doubt his appearance in an episode of Psych must have been a Twin Peaks parody, as the episode was titled, “Dual Spires.” Thanks, as always, for listening and reading.
