Together the guys try to dissect the dark film as much as they can wrap their head around it and wrap up the series of Twin Peaks as we know it today. They also give their thoughts on what the new series has in store when it hits Showtime. Thanks to everyone for listening to this series encompassing podcast and be sure to tweet us!

This is the penultimate episode of Podcast From Another Place until in new series starts in....... 2017, we think? Stevil, Drex, Dustin and DemiGod Rob guide you through the final episode of the series and Stevil even breaks down, in detail, the final showdown in the Black Lodge with Agent Cooper. The guys say farewell to Lucy in the first scene and speculate about Ben Horne's possible future after his altercation with Doc Hayward. Is he going to be in a wheelchair alongside "Wheels" Deschanel? Also, is this a final bow for Audrey Horne? Say it ain't so! DemiGod Rob gets question about his medical knowledge again this week and even fields a Bible question. Our panel also asks for your questions and comments before the final Fire Walk With Me episode in two weeks. Message the show right here or on Twitter!

It's time to crown a Queen and open that door to The Black Lodge! With only one episode left after this one, the guys try to figure out what cliffhangers are coming, what have already been left open and why exactly did Audrey get to skip out so much on the Miss Twin Peaks events? Dustin and Drex decide to be distracting hype guys as Stevil almost lost his calm, collected composure before the show just trying to get DemiGod Rob's sparkling voice on the air. Once that's out-of-the-way, they get down to business before getting distracted again by former Calgary Flames hockey players. Drifting off topic is to be expected, right? As Fire Walk With Me is now looming, our panel make the final decision on what cut of the film they will be covering for our finale. *SNIFF* It's only two weeks away....

We're almost on the Black Lodge's door steps as the guys are now into the final four episodes of the second season. Without Drex this week, our panel first talks about a few recent developments and issues surrounding Twin Peaks and the upcoming series before getting to business. Meanwhile, The Miss Twin Peaks competition is getting underway, Windom Earle adds more and more great costume choices to his wardrobe and Coop may be getting that FBI swagger back, as well as something else from Annie... DemiGod Rob and Stevil are pleased to see Sam Raimi's brother Ted get a guest spot as Windom's new art project and everyone is massively perplexed to what a "monkey show" is. Seriously, Pete Martell has to be one of the most perplexing characters ever. The guys are almost ready to fire walk, only three more episodes!

The guys are ready to dive into episode two of the second season, this time one hundred percent less Australian, as Drex missed out on this week's fun. Good news though! DemiGod Rob is back and gives us his thoughts on that insane season opener. This week felt much shorter to the boys, after the double long episode the week before, but with David Lynch at the helm again you know some insane stuff is going down. Ben and Jerry scheme like mad and may have even plotted more murders, Audrey is trapped at One Eyed Jack's, Leo's precarious health is addressed and Lucy may have been sleeping around? Oh David Lynch and Mark Frost! Our one pure character of Lucy isn't so pure! The questions and observations come fast in this episode. Dustin wonders if Laura had a thing with the creamed corn lady, Rob is still massively grossed out by Hank's domino (how DID he get it in and out of jail?) and Steve is still putting together that conspiracy theory. So join the Podcast From Another Place for another foray into the woods of the Northern Passage. This podcast is not what it seems...

We're starting that dreaded "Runaway James" storyline that DemiGod Rob and Dustin have been wishing to avoid this week on the podcast. We also continue down that path of forty year old adolescent weirdness that calls herself Nadine. Are the guys the only ones who dislike this part of the series? We need people to explain James and Nadine! This episode also marks the debut of Denise Bryson, otherwise known as David Duchovny in drag. This leads the guys to a pretty serious yet informative discussion on the trans community. At Podcast From Another Place we like to educate...... and discuss James bowel problems, but educate nonetheless! Hank interrupts Ben Horne's reminiscences about the past and doesn't give him the courtesy of a feng shui, Catherine gets a new maid and Andy and Dick meet the problem child (you know, that 90s movie).

Are Donna and Maddy still trapped in Harold's orchid lair? Will they get out? Is there at least a bathroom for James to destroy? This episode also marks the arrival of David Lynch himself as FBI Regional Bureau Chief Gordon Cole, Coop's immediate superior. The only unfortunate thing about Cole's arrival is the news that Albert won't be returning which saddens Dustin. We also get the homecoming of Leo, to be cared for by his doting wife Shelly and "cousin" Bobby but is Leo really a vegetable or is he still extremely dangerous? For a large part this film should be noted for all the awkward hugs Ben Horne is a part of. The guys counted four, each one weirder than the one before it and wait a second.... did Leland just pocket some hair? What?

You know the place, up by ol' One Eye's... Hot on the heels of the No Lynch, No Peaks, Save Twin Peaks campaign, this episode is directed magnificently by the man himself, David Lynch. Starting with a new opening, which Drex points out, this episode starts even darker and more ominous than the first season ended and gives us way more questions. Why won't the room service old guy call an ambulance? What happened to Leland's hair and what is up with Laura's sunglasses. Stevil works the conspiracy theory for this episode, trying to make sense of it all. The panel gives a shout out to a new listener on Twitter and talk about a show premiering soon that seems very "Lynch/Frost" like. Stevil got overzealous as well on this and didn't introduce anyone on the show, so you get the fun time of discerning their voices from each other.

Stephen Scarlata, producer of Jodorowsky's Dune, joins Steve, Michael and Demigod Rob to talk about what has been hailed as one of the best documentaries in 2014. As a child of the 80s, Stephen was intrigued by science fiction films, and when he came across David Lynch's Dune, he couldn't get enough. After watching Santa Sangre, his love for Alejandro Jodorowsky grew into an obsession. After meeting Frank Pavish in film school, and creating N.Y.H.C, the film that had never been finished, but often imitated seemed like the next best subject for a documentary. After receiving Jodorowsky's blessing the pieces began to fall into place. Interviews with H.R. Giger, Nicolas Winding Refn, Richard Stanley and Michel Seydoux quickly came together and along with the giant book of Dune storyboards, Stephen's film grew into something amazing. Stephen shares with us his experiences creating the film, and discovering all the ways Jodorowsky's eccentric visions have touched the science fiction films to come.

This is a monumental episode of Convicted Cinephiles for two reasons. First, and sadly, this is the final episode of co-host Michaela. We all love here and wish her well, as Stevil and Matty move on as Convicted Cinephiles 2.5. And secondly, for the first time in the established format of the show we're tackling a usual holiday marathoner in a super sized five movie episode! Yes, we are going ending our 2014 with a James Bond cast! We have four of six Bonds recognized, as we bring in Demigod Rob and Shogun Gamer's Casey White to bed women, drive sweet cars, indiscriminately kill bad guys and play with those cool gadgets. Connery would approve! (Lazenby would not.) These are our Staff Picks of the week! After months and months of Matty pushing it and recommending it as a Staff Pick, Stevil finally got around to checking out Alan Partridge (Alpha Papa) and loved it. Brilliant character comedy as only Steve Coogan could deliver it, coupled with supporting work from Colm Meaney and Darren Boyd. Rest assured, this movie is on Netflix now and begging to be added to your queue. With five Bond movies to watch over a busy December, it's pretty hard to fit in another movie, but Michaela managed to squeeze one in for her final Staff Pick. If you're a child of the 80s, you know this film well, but if you haven't then it's time you picked up The Muppets Take Manhattan. Kermit and the Gang try to make a Broadway show with Muppet-y hijinx with appearances Art Carney, Dabney Coleman and the late Joan Rivers. Matty has two recommendations for you to savor this episode. First, Denzel Washington reteams with Training Day director Antoine Fuqua for an adaptation of the Edward Woodward TV series The Equalizer. Washington plays a character that kills people with everything BUT a gun. Casey delivers an over Skype high five for this pick. For his second pick, Matty heads to New Zealand for Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi's dark comedy What We Do In The Shadows. The movie follows three roommates, who try to deal with their own deep seeded problems, as well as try to live with each others terrible quirks and short comings. The extra bonus? They're vampires! Sounds like more fun from the creators of Flight of the Conchords and Eagle vs. Shark. Casey brought something to boggle and twist your mind, as well as tease something in the Cinephiles history. Predestination is a time travel mystery from the Spierig Brothers, who brought us Undead and Daybreakers. Again they have Ethan Hawke in the lead, as a temporal agent who is traveling through time to stop a mass murderer known as the Fizzle Bomber. Definitely check this film out for a stand out performance from newcomer Sarah Snook. For the main subject of Bond films, our panel explains why they made their choices: "I chose Thunderball for a number of reasons: 1. No had picked a Connery movie (yet). 2. It is arguably the best Bond movie starring Connery. 3. It was a tribute to my father, who was a massive Bond fan and introduced me to the franchise." - @DemigodRob "Admittedly, You Only Live Twice isn’t the best Bond… it wasn’t even the best Bond film on the short-list crafted for the podcast. That being said, it’s one I have a special kinship with due to the fact that it was both one of the first Bond films I saw and because it kind of the pinnacle of the camp of Bond films. The ridiculous plot for global domination, the inclusion of SPECTRE for the second time, and one of the coolest ‘gadgets’ ever: Little Nelly." - @TheNightNinja "Why did I pick On Her Majesty's Secret Service? Several reasons: We watched this during near Christmas and I thought it would be nice to pick a movie that fit the season. This film is very wintery! Yay snow! And of course, we can't forget the incredible wardrobe!In all seriousness, I think this film gets overlooked quite often, and I think it deserves more recognition. The plot is strange and inventive, there is an interesting Bond girl, the ending is uncharacteristically dark, and I think Lazenby did a fine job as Bond. Overall, it's a winner for me, and one of the more interesting films in the series." - @avidcinephile "For me, Roger Moore was my first Bond and Moonraker was my first movie. Fortunately I didn't bring Moonraker because that movie is terrible. I did bring it's pseudo prequel The Spy Who Loved Me. This is the quintessential Bond, chalk full of stunts, action, gadgets, and sexy ladies. It's what makes a brillant Bond film, and if Bond doesn't start and end his adventure with bedding a women and blowing shit up, it isn't really a Bond movie." - @mattydub604 "I love Bond films. Connery's great, with Moore it's like watching someone's dad hit on girls, Dalton, Lazenby and Brosnan have their points too, some more than others. Still, I am very much enjoying Daniel Craig's version of Bond and Skyfall is the ultimate film for me. We're definitely moving in a more traditional Bond direction, but for a new time, world and generation. Sam Mendes crafts a great John Logan script with the memorizing cinematography of Roger Deakins, who's IMDB credits list great film after film. Adding the brilliant work from the rest of the cast, including one of the best Bond villains, Javier Bardem's Silva, and you have a film that will truly stand the test of time, like Dr. No and Goldfinger. I didn't even get to gush about that Adele theme song..." - @theStevilDead What is your favorite Bond film? Do you or did you enjoy our picks?

While Michaela is on a dream vacation to Hawaii, Stevil and Matty decided to bring in Demigod Rob and J.J. Webb for a road trip show. The boys all confirm their fan boy anticipation for the new Star Wars movie as the secondary title of The Force Awakens is announced. There is a major multitude of both awkward and warranted erections over the new Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer and nobody but Stevil even cares about Furious 7.   These are our Staff Picks of the Week.    Matty brings some awesome zombie goodness with a Nazi twist, as his Staff Pick for the week is Dead Snow 2: Red Vs. Dead. Following up the fantastically insane, gory and funny first film, Tommy Wirkola returns for more fun that got him some international attention, this time with some American cast. They also sew a zombie arm onto the main character. Awesome, right?   http://youtu.be/glIoXwTcG60   Stevil perused Netflix and came across a gem of a documentary that had eluded him in theaters and he just got around to checking it out. Jodorowsky's Dune is about the greatest movie that never was and, even unproduced and in storyboard form, influenced everything we've seen since in mainstream blockbuster film and will see glimpses of it for years to come.   http://youtu.be/4WWu1kclNDA   Due to Stevil recommending Jodorowsky's Dune to him immediately after watching it, Demigod Rob watched it himself and continued down the Jodo rabbit hole and picked up his latest film, the first in 23 years, The Dance of Reality. It's a semi autobiographical film starring two of his sons. Captivating and disturbing, Rob says this is a must watch.   http://youtu.be/LViGerHOA28   JJ hit the theaters is a big bad way and gives us a couple of must see movies on the big screen right now. For an honorable mention, JJ says Nightcrawler is a gripping and well shot film with the best performance from Jake Gyllenhaal he's ever given. For his main pick JJ urges everyone to check out John Wick. as per usual KeanuReeves isn't the greatest actor but what he does deliver is action and in that regard it's a different style than we are used to out of this magnanimous and generous actor. Yes, it's agreed, we all want to be best friends with the guy.   http://youtu.be/u1uP_8VJkDQ http://youtu.be/C0BMx-qxsP4   For the main subject of our episode on road trip films, our panel explains why they made their choices:   "I've made it a goal to start picking movies I have never seen before. When the topic of road trip's came up, I saw an opportunity to pick Ridley Scott's Thelma and Louise. As a huge fan of this director, it was very disappointing to have to sit through a movie he only did for a paycheck and it's obvious. From a shitty script (which won an Oscar. Huh?) to really stupid main characters, I should have waited and brought a good Ridley movie." - @mattydub604   http://youtu.be/PRr0HY9MPZ0   "Oh man, how do I even explain this insanity I put everyone through for this episode. Well, it starts off innocently. David Lynch announced that we're getting more Twin Peaks in 2016, which, as a massive fan of the series, put me into Lynch mode. Wild At Heart is the film that this crazy director made during the first season of the acclaimed series. A good number of the shows cast appear in small roles but our leads are the real gems here. Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern are so grandiose in their terrible performances that it's hard not to watch this movie. And that Willem Dafoe exit? Wow." - @thestevildead   http://youtu.be/7uRJartX79Q   "Is it a race through the southern states, an argument over bought versus built with love or an existentialist odyssey about obsession? Whatever it is, Monte Helman created the ultimate gearhead film with Two-Lane Blacktop. Though overlooked on it's initial run and missing from home release for close to 30 years, this movie still has to be seen."  - @demigodrob   http://youtu.be/yPbqV9CgV9s   "Beautiful American landscapes, a man on the run from the law, and a sexy 70s Challenger are just some of the aspects that make Vanishing Point one of the greatest road trip movies of all time. Add those with the films quiet, yet memorable side characters, and an ending that is still philosophically debated today, and you can see why I chose this film to discuss.." - @hesthejage   http://youtu.be/62UEDyEzpXQ   What is your favorite road trippin' flick?

Digging into another subject of almost infinite choices, our Cinephiles bring you an episode dedicated to biopics. With so many great, mediocre and downright terrible selections to choose from, the selection process was a little tough, especially for guest Demigod Rob. Do you know how hard it is to crush a man's dreams of bringing My Name is Bruce? To break a man's very soul by telling them that Bruce Campbell didn't actually fight an ancient Chinese evil? I do believe he's still in a pit of despair, trying to come to terms with this new reality. These are our Staff Picks! Matty tries to reinvent the meaning of "Vietnam classic" with his Staff Pick of the week, with a film that has never been regarded as a Platoon-like film or even classic for that matter. We at The League of Manchildren implore our listeners to watch Universal Soldier and tell us whether you agree with Matty's description of it or if you wonder what thought process even got him to this diagnosis. Michaela brings a film that has been getting glowing reviews from the festival screenings it played, as well as a large majority of the stand up comedy community. Does Jenny Slate have a bright future ahead of her? A large number of people agree, Obvious Child is a fantastic start. Stevil is riled up and excited for the final season of Sons of Anarchy. So excited that he wants to talk everything Charlie Hunnam and Ron Perlman. No, he didn't bring Pacific Rim, been there, done that (listen to episode 21). Instead he brings a nervous, socially awkward Charlie and a cross dressing Ron in 3,2,1 Frankie Goes Boom. C'mon, Ron Perlman in drag, how is this not intriguing? Demigod Rob must warn you, he is prone to liking some weird stuff. He doesn't lie about it, beat around the bush about it or sugar coat it. It is what it is. That being said, Under The Skin might have been the film that was too weird for him to like. So with that being said, he highly recommends you skip out on it. Well, maybe after the Scarjo full frontal nudity. We know Matty is more than curious on that issue. Today we're bringing Bio Pics to the table with Demigod Rob "There was a time when one was excited for a Tim Burton/Johnny Depp team up, no other movie proved this fact more than Ed Wood. A love story to film making and old Hollywood, this story of one man's failure to bring his movies to the public is an inspiring one." - Matty/@mattydub604 "I thought it would be interesting to go a little off the beaten path and pick a film about a regular man who's notability stemmed not from his accomplishments, but from his extreme deformity and the tragic circumstances of his life. I had never seen The Elephant Man before, but had always been intrigued by Joseph Merrick's story, and wanted to see how David Lynch would choose to tell it." - Michaela/@avidcinephile "It seems like an odd choice for me to pick, I know. Honestly, I was listening to a lot of Biggie's discography and when Michaela had the idea to bring bio pics as our subject, I felt like being a little selfish and brought Notorious. Plus I had never watched the director's cut I bought a few years back." - Steve/@thestevildead "I chose Sid and Nancy for a few reasons. First, we talked about Repo Man in a previous cast and I wanted to keep the Alex Cox theme going. Secondly, as a life long punk fan, I've been fascinated by the fact that people celebrate him as an antihero when he was essentially a talentless street junkie who murdered his girlfriend. And lastly, I'm obsessed with the Criterion Collection and this was the first one I ever owned." - Rob/@demigodrob What is your favourite bio pic? Do you or did you enjoy our picks?

The Cinephiles are back for another crack at the pretentious Criterion cast, this time Michaela gets to take part with the new format. Can't do this without our Criterion buddies Demigod Rob and JJ Webb as we all grab movies from our own personal collections. Rob gets under Matty's skin quickly by picking something that isn't a movie, while Stevil brings a pick that is quickly panned by the rest of the panel as not respected. Michaela's pick leads Matty to an obvious realization of his film tastes but redeems himself with his own cult style pick. JJ finishes of the cast with his insane oddball pick that may have warped everyone's minds. We will all never be the same. Join in the fun fueled by Janus Films!
