Got a light? Sorry for the switch-a-roo once again, but we couldn’t resist! Amanda recently finished watching Twin Peaks: The Return, and we had so much we still wanted to talk about regarding everyone’s favorite quaint and creepy berg in the pacific northwest, so we decided to do another hour talking about Twin Peaks: The Return, what the show is for us, and how it connects to Fire Walk With Me!
The third season of Twin Peaks, also known as Twin Peaks: The Return and Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series, consists of 18 episodes and premiered on Showtime on May 21, 2017. Developed and written by creators David Lynch and Mark Frost,the season is a continuation of the 1990–1991 ABC series and its 1992 theatrical prequel Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me. An ensemble of returning and new cast members appear, led by original star Kyle MacLachlan and directed by Lynch.
Set 25 years after the events of the original Twin Peaks, the season follows multiple storylines, many of which are linked to FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (MacLachlan) and his 1989 investigation into the murder of Twin Peaks homecoming queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). In addition to the fictional Washington state town of Twin Peaks, the story extends to locations such as New York City, Las Vegas, South Dakota, New Mexico, and Texas. Showtime president David Nevins said that “the core of [the story] is Agent Cooper’s odyssey back to Twin Peaks”.
Join Clay, Amanda, as they take another trip into the mysterious Black Lodge, discuss the beginnings of evil, what it’s like to be a giant coffee percolator, and yes, even talk about Judy!
So bust out your sootiest lumberjack outfit, vomit up pure evil, give birth to pure good, drink deep and descend with us…if you dare!
