Wake Up Heavy started as a podcast about my memories of strange horror movies from the '70s and '80s that had a profound effect on me. Along the way it has become a vehicle for my friends, my daughter, and I to talk about all manner of weird and wonderful movies and TV shows. I'm Mark Begley, your host.

    WUH: I understand cellular phones now

    Finally... Cleo and I have reached the end of Twin Peaks. On this episode we talk about the final three episodes of Twin Peaks: The Return (2017); Coop's return, Audrey's Dance, Freddie's glove, and Richard and Linda. Did we understand it all? Nope. Did we like it? Yup. Enjoy and thanks for going on this journey with us.
