"What if David Lynch made a TV show?" Shockingly, it happened in the early '90s, and the American public couldn't help but gawk at the surreal antics of Agent Dale Cooper and the quirky citizens of Twin Peaks. And while we sadly never saw an official video game adaptation, Lynch's two-season series inspired quite a number of video games—especially in Japan, where Twin Peaks acted as an absolute phenomenon. On this episode, join Bob Mackey, Jeremy Parish, Diamond Feit, and Shane Bettenhausen as the crew explores the world of a cozy Pacific Northwest Town that just happens to feature a few brutal murders. (Note: This podcast is best enjoyed with a slice of cherry pie and some damn good coffee.)

Retronauts and Twin Peaks? I'm in heaven. During the first year of the pandemic, when my wife and I couldn't do the cons we normally did every year, we did a Twin Peaks Tour instead and hit up all the locations from the show.

Nina's cover art is brilliant. Laughing away at backwards-dancing Link.

I had the issue of Cracked Magazine from that time with the Twin Peaks board game in it.

Uncommonly excited for this one!

"She says her name's Marin ... but doesn't she look almost exactly like Princess Zelda?" "She's filled with secrets. Where we're from, the birds sing a pretty song...and there's always music in the air." (Saxophone rendition of Ballad of the Wind Fish fades in and Link reverse shuffle dances for five minutes)

I'm so excited about this that I've dedicated most of my YouTube channel to this! Sure hope they talk about Mizzurna Falls!

Damn fine episode! 👍 Can’t wait to see what Jeremy & Bob think about The Return. Don’t forget to read The Final Dossier by Mark Frost to find out about some loose ends…

My favorite memory of Blue Velvet is seeing it a Portland theater back when PBR ruled the drinking scene here so when Dennis Hopper yelled "Heineken!? Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!" the entire audience cheered.

My main mental associations between Twin Peaks and video games are 1: FF7's music in Midgar sounds super-Badalamentian, and 2: All of the cryptic hints and riddles from the little person, the giant, etc. reminded me of the hints in Zelda 1 from old dudes in caves and dungeons, ironically enough

Great episode! I’m excited to hear your thoughts about the Return at some point, no spoilers from me but Part 8 is one of the most insane and wonderful things I’ve ever watched and I still think about the ending to it like once a week, mainly due to this feeling of dread (not Metroid) that I felt while watching it and still feel whenever I think about it, like something went horribly wrong. It’s really incredible stuff!

Glad Woodcutters From Fiery Ships got a shout out! What did get missed was the Twin Peaks game that *could* have happened turned into The 7th Guest - Devine and Landeros both discuss how they pitched it as a Twin Peaks game based around Clue(do). When everyone has caught up on The Return, I’d love to hear a revisit - especially as so much game history can be seen in it, from Myst imagery to the fact the Dougie Jones arc is basically an FMV adventure like Phantasmagoria (you even see the cursor and interact icons!). The whole series is almost the Twin Peaks game we never got!
