Twin Peaks: Evangelion

A few thoughts on the maverick, the artist, the genius David Keith Lynch - recorded on what would have been his 79th birthday. We'll see you in the trees, Mr Lynch - Craig and Vinny

In Heaven, everything is... okay I guess? Join Craig and Vinny - as well as Special Guest Rachel - for a shuffle through the grimy streets and tortured psyches of Lynch's baffling and iconic debut feature ERASERHEAD. Why does Mary's Mom throw herself at Henry? Is it better to be a stapler or a letter opener? Does Bo Burnham's dick actually look like that? Let's find out!

We're back with a special episode that dives into Daddy David's divisive INLAND EMPIRE - a film that we both have... complicated... feelings about. Join us for a chat about the three-hour-long experimental feature, the merits of Ben Harper's second album, and whether or not we could make friends with the world's most popular musician. Without milk, there would be no cheese. Without cheesy jokes, there would be no Twin Peaks Evangelion.

Fire up Netflix, roast some chestnuts and join us as we discuss this absolute masterpiece. Over the course of the 87 minute film we wade into complex Eva lore, wax lyrical about Komm, Susser Tod and spend an unsettling amount of time talking about Joker.

Utterly fed up with David Lynch's ongoing refusal to record an audio commentary on his work, we took it upon ourselves to do our own! We dusted off the DVD player to rewatch the groundbreaking pilot that shot Lynch & Frost's masterpiece into the cultural zeitgeist over 30 years ago, and as we watch along we evaluate it's ongoing legacy, discuss 90s fashion and technology and ramble through tangents a-plenty. Why not join us? Dial up the first episode, press play at the right time and take a Fire Walk With Craig and Vinny through the Twin Peaks pilot!

Shinji! Get in the recording booth! We're going back to the distant future - the year 2015 - and watching along as humanity's last hope, a kid named Shinji, is thrust into a world of mass destruction and captioned cleavages. Join us as we rewatch and discuss ANGEL ATTACK - 23 minutes of TV that started an Anime empire. Email us: tpsemicolone@gmail.com Tweet us: @TPEvangelion

Everyone's favourite candy-coloured clowns are back, and this time they've roped in a very special guest! Join Craig and Vinny (and special guest Colln of the wonderful Creamed Corn and the Universe podcast) for a deep dive into Lynch's mid-80s cult classic BLUE VELVET and the late Satoshi Kon's hard-to-find animated masterpiece PERFECT BLUE - its one hell of a double-feature, and one hell of a good chat! We also discuss Kyle MacLachlan's most infamous non-Lynch film, men's fashion circa 2001 and how good teenage Craig was at picking up on very obvious signals. Strap in, cos this might be our best episode yet (its definitely got the best episode title!)... and stick around til the end of the episode for a very special musical interlude...

Craig appeared on character-focused Twin Peaks podcast Creamed Corn and the Universe recently for a chat about the character of Deputy Andy Brennan. Join us for the discussion about how Andy might be the emotional core of the original series, his pivotal role in The Return, and why the Wally Brando scene is secretly heartbreaking.

Like SEELE's weird plan to plug the holes in everyone's hearts, this episode is our attempt to fill any gaps in the Twin Peaks narrative by diving into the long-lost, much anticipated and beautifully-restored MISSING PIECES. It's all here folks; huckleberries, physical prop comedy, baby laxative - plus find out which language Vinny considers "weird" and David Lynch's thoughts on the beauty of wood. And hey - did you know that END OF EVANGELION was gonna have an eleven minute live action sequence? We found it, and we cover it!

Hideaki Anno. David Lynch. Both visionary directors who have confused and enthralled millions with their dense stories and arresting visual style. But how good are their voice acting skills? Join us for a rambling and barely coherent review of Anno's performance in the Hayao Miyazaki masterpiece THE WIND RISES and Lynch's eyebrow-raising portrayal of bartender Gus in... umm... THE CLEVELAND SHOW. Also included: fun with bear/beer pronunciation and the answer to the question "what did Kyle MacLachlan tell us during his recent AMA?"

Is this the most niche episode of our already incredibly niche podcast? All signs point to YES! What are we up to? We're playing the role of David Lynch's casting agents for his theoretical live-action Evangelion film - the catch? He only wants to hire actors who have appeared in Twin Peaks. Would Kyle be better as Kaji or Gendo? Who has the right mix of mystery and flat affect to accurately portray Rei? How on earth do you cast Pen Pen? All these dumb questions are put through the ringer as we undertake this absurd task.

Coffee! Cherry Pie! Owls! Twin Peaks noob Vinny shares his thoughts on the first two seasons of the pivotal show that gives this podcast half its name. Fire Walk with Vinny and Craig as we discuss the show's production, its legacy and whether Mr Tojimura is more or less problematic than Ben Horne rewriting the outcome of the Civil War.

Angels, frog-moths and floating orbs of various sizes dominate our discussion of Twin Peaks: The Return - Parts 5 - 8, as well as Neo-Genesis: Evangelion 2.22: You Can (Not) Advance. Hear as we try to decipher what's going on and (mostly) fail miserably. NB: We tried to include the track 'Grand Unification Part 1' by the band Fightstar, but I couldn't find it on Spotify.

What do the first four parts of Twin Peaks: The Return have in common with the first Evangelion 'Rebuild' film? Why is there an electric tree with a brain in the Red Room? Who is the naked dude on the Moon? All these questions (and more) will be... well, not answered, but at least approached in the first episode of Twin Peaks: Evangelion Theme music: white_lodge by Secret Lair (www.soundcloud.com/secretlair) Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0) license.
