Live from the Great Northern

SPOILERS from 40:33-42:08 This is the first Lynch-directed Frost-written episode in a while and boy, can you tell. Bobby is skipping economics, and we get another appearance of Snake Mike, whose decision NOT to skip economics clearly pays off. Who are Mr. Tojamora's contacts in Osaka, and who decided this wildly racist subplot was okay?

SPOILERS for the rest of season 2 from 54:00-59:15. We discuss vicuna coats, things that were definitely still racist even in the 90s, and the man himself, David Lynch as Gordon Cole. And what the hell, kazoos.

Question to consider: Why doesn't Twin Peaks have a courthouse? How do you make a Black Yukon Sucker Punch? Is Hawk a stone-cold murderer? What's Lenny Von Dohlen up to these days, and more importantly, can we get him on the podcast?

We might not have a depth of knowledge but we do have a breadth of vocabulary. Clint Sternwood is a wholesome Pacific northwest grandpa & we think he and Major Briggs should collaborate on a profound speech. There is a moment between Truman and Cooper for which there is no heterosexual explanation. Josie should...probably be arrested?

No spoilers section in this one. We have no idea what's going on for most of this episode, but not in the usual fun Twin Peaks way. Albert is a pacifist, Bobby is a criminal mastermind, and Ben Horne is Ben Horne. James feels angst because his decisions have consequences. Also, this episode was recorded so far in advance of when we released it that Marianne Williamson was still in the Democratic primary and qualifying for debates.
