Twin Peaks Rewatch

It was said a few times that the hope was that this podcast would be an archive that could be revisited by people who discover Twin Peaks at a later date. I am confirmation that this can happen, as I’ve watched the first two seasons and fire walk with me in the last month and have been immensely helped by this podcast. Looking forward to getting into the return and hearing your first impressions.

If you want a very surface level recap of Twin Peaks this is fine. There were a couple comments or facts that I thought were interesting and had not considered or heard thought too much about. They probably do deserve some the benefit of the doubt cause it looks like this was recorded like ten years ago and at least started before The Return came out. But, overall - I just watched for the first time and I just feel like there was ALOT these guys either mischaracterized or didn’t clock or appreciate. There’s probably better content out there if you’re interested in really digging into Twin Peaks, and I think that’s why this podcast bugs me a bit, they don’t seem to think there’s much to dig into. Also, there are alot of pauses that are way too long I feel like could have been edited out, and the hosts do interrupt each other alot.

Here’s my rabbit hole: I searched for a Twin Peaks podcast because after watching “The Big Lebowski” for the umpteenth time. I listened to the Gutterballs podcast. Brad and Adam are not Jake and Chris. They often go of on tangents that have nothing to do with the movie they are reviewing. One of those tangents is Twin Peaks and David Lynch. I was about 30 when the show originally air and didn’t remember it being on the air. After watching the 1st episode I needed answers as to why this show has a cult like following. Jake and Chris’ rewatch podcast was the perfect solution. I plan on leaving some questions and comments on idle thumbs and hope they do periodic revisits.

I think it would be interesting to revive this podcast, this time with a rewatch of The Return! Would be cool to hear some fresh insights from the perspective of Chris and Jake having seen the whole thing before. Regardless, thank you for having made this podcast. It’s seriously enriched my experience of Twin Peaks.
