Trying to understand things doesn’t get any bluer, but your host John puts on a biker beret to talk through Cooper’s magical night at the casino, fixing one’s heart, how the supernatural keeps working in the background like a thermostat, and how the Return uses (and doesn’t use) nostalgia.

Cooper’s path from nonexistence to jackpot after jackpot sprawls through purple surreality and modern Las Vegas ghost towns, and your host John applies countless theories and spoilers to it all.

Any number of Twin Peaks characters may be waking up to the fact that things may be happening in the shadows, by their shadows, and that their loved ones, themselves, and maybe even timelines are at risk.
Your host John listens to Hawk and the Log Lady, and looks into what’s behind the Red Room curtains, in the glass box, and playing at the Roadhouse, while Dale Cooper’s doppelganger covers his tracks.
Spoilers are everywhere. Connections are made.

We may have been ravenous for new Twin Peaks in 2017, but David Lynch went out of his way to tell us we should slow down instead. Your host John does just that when he looks into what a certain doppelganger is up to in Buckhorn, why shovels have something to say, deleted scenes, and breaks down glass box scenes and the words from ???????

When the stars turn, it’s worth listening to them, so your host John speaks with astrologer William Stanley Holloway about his work, Twin Peaks, and the various ways astrology does and doesn’t work with our favorite show. Will this help unlock a better understanding of the show? That’s up to you, but the signs and houses point to yes.

How does a revival of Twin Peaks come together? That’s what your host John is looking into. What began from Frost contacting Lynch in 2012 with an inkling of an idea, turned into two years of writing over 400 pages, two important simultaneous tweets, Lynch leaving then returning, and 140 days of filming, not to mention the months of post-production. This is a wide overview of the production history of the Twin Peaks limited event series that aired on Showtime in 2017.

As the podcast gets ready to cover Twin Peaks: The Return, your host John brings in Colin James, Chase Bucklew, Indigo Baloch and Hilary Flor to discuss how canon does and doesn’t relate to Twin Peaks, before looking at their favorite show through the framework of folklore and mythology.

The imagery in the title sequence for Twin Peaks: The Return is portraying something different than the original series title sequence. Your host John looks into the differences between the standard sequence and the extended Part 1 sequence, whether the sequence is actually a path, why Lynch made sure to use a golden lens flare, and if could it actually be part of the story plot.

The Rancho Rosa logos at the beginning of every part of Twin Peaks: The Return have been a fascination of the fandom since we noticed the logos change colors each time. Your host John looks into the name Rancho Rosa, and all the elements of the logo, from placement of lettering, the sphere and the images that flicker within it, the background it appears to be flying into, and how the effects rhyme with similar effects used in the Twin Peaks parts.

Doug Milford says a real mystery is just out of reach, like a light around the corner. Your hosts John and Agent Ivy catch glimpses of what Mark Frost’s The Secret History of Twin Peaks reveals below its surface, linking the book to what we’ve seen before, and what we will see in Twin Peaks: The Return. When Twin Peaks’ mythology looks into a mirror, what does it see, and what looks back?

The Archivist of Mark Frost’s The Secret History of Twin Peaks says secrets are the work of humankind to consolidate and impose power, but what kind of secret keeper is Doug Milford? Do the book’s inconsistencies with canon reveal forgeries? Your host John sits down with Alison Ivy to talk about how the novel came to be, then they explore the book’s secrets and the groups that keep them.

This episode will give you a good indication of the initial response to Mark Frost’s The Secret History of Twin Peaks before the new Twin Peaks episodes were aired on Showtime.
In early 2017, your host John finished an extensive book analysis for Sparkwood & 21 podcast, and this episode is an audiobook of the entire art project.
Have fun with the predictions that are way off base, and keep an eye on how much of The Return’s mythology could be predicted from Frost’s book alone.

The Between Two Worlds special feature from the Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery box set may have seemed like a quirky epilogue to see what the Palmers would be like 25 years later, but your host John looks into how this is actually a bridge that has a lot to tell us about how Lynch was preparing for (and using the language of) The Return.
