On episode 11 of Really Weird Stuff, we're discussing Twin Peaks Season 2, episode 3: The Man Behind the Glass. This episode originally aired on October 13th, 1990. It was written by Robert Engels and directed by Lesli Linka Glatter. It's best known as the one where Albert declares his love for Sheriff Truman. Chris Brugos joins us to explore such mysteries as: HOW much does Leland really know about BOB?WHO cares about the Lucy/Andy/Dick paternity triangle? WHY doesn't Ronette get more credit for being such a survivor? PLUS: What a piece of work is Emory Battis?
Listen to the Truman Show Podcast Above.
We discuss episode three of Twin Peaks season two, an episode that had a lot of things we loved - and a few things we hated. Listen for a conversation about Bob, Leland, Bob and Leland, just what the point of Dick Tremayne is, just what the point of Harold Smith is, and Albert's strange and difficult path. Spoilers for seasons 2 and 3, along with Fire Walk With Me. Catch us on twitter at twitter.com/notaboutbunny, and if you're so inclined, leave us a review on Apple podcasts - it helps others find us!
We're back this week with a jumbo-sized episode, folks! Xzy and Max break down the Season 2 episodes "Coma," "The Man Behind the Glass," and "Laura's Secret Diary." James sings a song, Albert and Sheriff Truman finally come eye-to-eye, Mrs. Tremond hates creamed corn, and Dick Tremayne is introduced. You know, typical Season 2 stuff. For next week, watch "The Orchid's Curse" and "Demons," episodes five and six respectively.

This week's super-sized installment is Season 1, Episode 5, “The One-Armed Man,” directed by Tim Hunter. Colin sees it as a love letter to film noir and the “double cross,” while Jennifer is captivated by the parallels with Hitchcock's Psycho. Jonathan explores appetites and primal urges this week, and dives into Mike, the titular one-armed man. Damon analyzes Cooper's relationship with local law enforcement, particularly with Sheriff Truman.

Though the map is both figuratively and literally starting to center on Twin Peaks, this week we're all over the place. After some fantastic moments with the FBI, Ben Horne, Sheriff Truman, and Sarah Palmer, Audrey makes her long-awaited return, seemingly to bombard us with names and relationships we can barely grasp. Who is Tina and what did she say? Where's Billy? Is Chuck Richard? These questions and more will remain unanswered for now despite everyone's best efforts, but that's probably the point.

Chopping Wood Inside: The Twin Peaks Podcast for Conspiracy Theorists
Murph and Hawk break out the cherry pie and champagne to offer their hot takes on Part 11: Is the entire town going insane now? Is Stephen screwing Donna Hayward's tiara-wearing sister? Is the zombie kid in the car being levitated by the woodsman? Why does Bill Hasting's exploding head emit so little blood? How did Shelly become a better stunt woman than a mother? And is Hawk's map full of Lodge magic or is he just screwing with Sheriff Truman's head??
Hawk and Sheriff Truman add new evidence to Laura Palmer's case file for the first time in 25 years, Major Briggs is identified as the body in the Buckhorn morgue, Doc Hayward caught some trout, and everyone—inside the show and out—starts really coming to grips with the reality that the Cooper the're watching is not the Cooper they knew. After a couple weeks of slow burn, this week's episode of Twin Peaks is packed, and we're happy to get to discuss it with you.

We get spooked in the Twin Peaks orphanage, fear for our lovely Shelly, and wonder how we got tricked into watching a soap opera about James. Email us your thoughts on the show (both TP and this podcast) at LogLadiesPodcast@gmail.com!IMBD Summary: Agent Cooper and Sheriff Truman arrange a trap for Jean Renault.
Today: Coop and Albert get nosy, the Angels explore the art of poesy, Ed & Norma get real cozy...and--no, really guys--what the hell happened to Josie?! Cooper and Albert zero in on the culprit behind who shot Cooper in his hotel room, as well as who shot Jonathan in the Seattle airport...and the result of their investigation isn't going to sit well with Sheriff Truman, who already knows the truth. Elsewhere, Josie comes face-to-face with yet another figure from her sordid past, and the wheels are set in motion, picking up speed as they carry her to her eventual fate. Also: Audrey falls head over heels for a near-total stranger! Ben Horne turns a new leaf! Nadine breaks up with Ed! Norma breaks up with Hank! Josie breaks up with life on the corporeal plane of existence! Is this finally the end of the Season 2 nadir? Who knows anything about poetry? And what's BOB got to do with this? These questions and many more will remain largely unanswered at the end of today's episode, but don't touch that drawer pull: we're just getting started with Twin Peaks Season 2 episode 16: "The Condemned Woman" Notes: Aidan asked for it, so we'll deliver: here is this week's mangled translation, put through Google Translate in German, to English, to Turkish, to French, to Spanish, and then back into English: "They Have Low" (Not a bad title. I think that's what we'll refer to this episode as from now on...) Joan Chen runs a food blog! And she posted her story, in her own words, about why she left Twin Peaks. It's lovely and bittersweet and very poignant, and it's coupled with a coconut cookie recipe that sounds kind of amazing, so definitely check it out "The price of eggs" is absolutely a saying. We had honestly never heard it before! Clearly we have been tainted by the creepiness of JJW if our first thought was to ascribe something different to his meaning... Here's an article from the Orlando Sentinel from 10 March 1991, about the return of Twin Peaks to TV screens following its 6-week hiatus The fun fan theory about the Four Seasons of Twin Peaks
Evelyn Marsh says goodbye, Ben shouts his final battle cry, and Windom's gift is terrifying. Cooper makes a big break through in the case of "Who Shot Me?", but the answer he gets leaves him in a bit of a quandary with Sheriff Truman since, well...*ahem* MEANWHILE, Albert returns to grace our screen and bring terrible news that Windom Earle is absolutely coming for Coop. Threats abound and Coop's taken to wearing flannels. Whatever is going to happen? Is Cooper being a terrible friend to Truman? Did Diane Keaton really direct the worst episode in the history of Twin Peaks? Also: Evelyn takes charge (and gallops off our screen for good!) Ben Horne has a Dorothy moment! Ed and Norma let Nadine into bed...sort of! And guess who's coming to dinner at the Blue Pine Lodge? We've slaved away through the Season 2 doldrums and now we're lifting the veil of darkness that's settled over it all since the reveal of Laura's killer. And we're so fortunate to have friend of the podcast and all-around superfan & superguy John (@jpb_littlegreen) to help us pick up the pieces and lead us into the rising action driving us toward the finale! You ready for this? It's Twin Peaks S2E15: "Slaves and Masters" Notes: Here's a link to @NoShipNetwork's "Sparkwood and 21" podcast, which we highly encourage fans of this show to check out. Em & Steve do a fantastic job breaking down the big topics (check out our guest John and his "timequake" theory in S&21's The Secret History of Twin Peaks episode!) and incorporate listener feedback, which is always awesome! Here's a link to the Sparknotes plot synopsis of Samuel Beckett's "Endgame"--you tell us, listeners, is this what's being acted out between Leo and Windom in the woods outside Twin Peaks? And here's a link to the Ken Burns' Civil War series--a must-watch for history buffs, but if you're a history buff, you don't need us to tell you about it! Who is that chess player? Well, he's José Raúl Capablanca, duh! For a primer on some of the ways in which David Lynch allows the Wizard of Oz to permeate his work, here is a quick PopOptiq article that outlines the myriad references to L Frank Baum's immortal children's book in Lynch's hyper sexual and uber violent Wild at Heart And here is the Wiki article about the aesthetic (philosophy) tenet known as the Uncanny Valley
The aftermath of Maddy's murder and the reveal of Laura's killer leads us into the realm of dramatic irony for the first time in Twin Peaks! Agent Cooper and Sheriff Truman get closer to figuring out the truth the audience already knows—that Ben Horne did not kill Laura—and Cooper gets reacquainted with his intuition, much to the Sheriff's consternation; meanwhile, Bobby dabbles in blackmail, and Norma gets a surprise visitor at the Double R. Also! Does Ben need a new lawyer? How hard is it to keep the One Armed Man from escaping? And where does one go in a town like Twin Peaks for good, quality showtunes? (Apparently, all you need is a car and a set of golf clubs...) We may as well call this The Jerry Show since so many of our clips selected for this week's episode feature his classic deadpan humour, but after the darkness of last week's episodes, we were just so glad for Jerry Horne we couldn't resist! Notes: 'Fahrt' translates to 'Journey', according to good ol' Google Translate. And now that we think about it, maybe farting (in English) is kind of like a journey... XD Pileated woodpecker (from the Edmonton & Area Land Trust page) For those interested in Canadiana: Hinterland Who's Who was a co-venture between the Environment Canada and the National Film Board of Canada started in the 1960s. They produced 60-second PSAs profiling various Canadian wildlife. Ask any Canadian who grew up into the early 1990s and they'll remember HWW. Here's the entry on the loon The meaning of Hank's domino has never "officially" been stated as far as I can tell...but Chris Mulkey claims it was meant to be another instance of doubles (the two 3's equaling 6 total on the domino) while others claim it may be linked to the number of people he's killed. The blog Twin Peaks Explained states that the change in the numbers on his domino wasn't on purpose but was simply an error, owing to the fact that the original domino was lost during production and another was substituted.

Wherein we discuss Episode 2 of Twin Peaks ("Traces to Nowhere") and get to know the people of Twin Peaks a little better. There are interrogations, and we talk about the various representations of families in this town. Also: Shelly does the laundry! Sheriff Truman eats a donut! Cooper drinks coffee! And who put the fish in the percolator? Links: Omg gravity boots...I was right. Why were these a thing? Leave a comment if you have any answers. I can't figure this out.
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.

Bryon and Ben discuss Twin Peaks episode 21. “Agent Cooper tells Sheriff Truman about his former partner Windom Earle.” 2/2/91 Sarasota Herald-Tribune Twitter: @TwinPeaksUnwrap Facebook: www.facebook.com/TwinPeaksUnwrapped Email:TwinPeaksUnwrapped@gmail.com Twin Peaks Unwrapped Paper: http://paper.li/TwinPeaksUnwrap/1448684197 Sources: “Sycamore Trees" lyrics by David Lynch, music by Angelo Badalamenti and sung by Jimmy Scott Wrapped in Plastic magazine #30 Wrapped in Plastic magazine #69 Reflections: An Oral History of Twin Peaks Twin Peaks Episode #21 script
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.
