Twin Peaks: The Return, Part 5, "Case files."

This time out Dan and Eric discuss the fifth part of what might possibly be David Lynch's Magnus Opus, Twin Peaks: The Return. Of course, for an artist who has released a succession of masterpieces that is a tall order. But who says we have to rank everything? Who was it? Anthony Fantano? 

This week we talk about the inspiration behind Bushnell Mullins, the statue in the plaza outside Lucky 7 Insurance, how a fish got in a percalator, and more.

Twin Peaks: The Return, Part 4 / ...Brings Back Some Memories29 Jan 202601:44:23

Twin Peaks: The Return, Part 4, "...brings back some memories."

Today on Meanwhile, we are hitting some mega-jackpots. We are talk about surveillance, giving Mark Frost proper credit for Denise Bryson, time-travelling characters, Mad Men, and Mr. C weird slow-mo talking. Plus the age old question: is that Bobby scene supposed to be funny?  I bet we got into a lot more, too, but I am so tired typing this. 

Oh, and I made a mistake when I referemced, "The Five Grandfathers," when I should have said, "The SIX Grandfathers." Yet, again, another instance of 6 or 7 in Twin Peaks.
