Highly anticipated from me all month! Thanks!

Tyler Harris

Cannot wait! Twin Peaks is back!

Michael Polston

I was absolutely the person you guys mentioned- this was the first twin peaks thing I ever saw, as well as my introduction to David Lynch. I had no context for anything I was seeing, I did not know the context for the events, and I thought (and still think) this was one of the absolute best movies I had ever seen in my life. It inspired me, naturally, to watch the show and the rest of David Lynch’s work. So I can confirm, it’s possible to watch this movie going in ice cold and still enjoy it.

I always assumed the Pink Room scene was subtitled because it's riffing on the Red Room scenes, which are always subtitled. Yes an un-subtitled Pink Room scene would be more disorienting, but then you'd lose that connection to the Red Room.

Sherard Roderick

Hell yeah. I’ve been so absurdly thirsty for Nextlander to get back to Twin Peaks.

James

.... I just want people to know, I resubed for this reason.

Jonathan Dugald Mott

So hyped for this and season 3. It is up there with my favorite TV seasons of all time.

Ryan Ross

I love this movie, along with the first two seasons as it ranks as my favorite show of all time. Unfortunately that's where the love stops for me. Hope the boys like it, but The Return was soul-crushingly disappointing. I'll be rewatching with them in hopes that time has changed thing for me, but I'm not expecting a much different reaction.

Kevin Kuenn

I love the Return with all my heart, but I think Alex is setting the guys up for disappointment by constantly telling them how universally beloved it is. Every time he says something like that I think, Alex clearly wasn't reading the same Twitter and Reddit threads as I was back then. 😆

Ryan Ross

Yeah, for sure. I was lurking around the Dugpa message boards, and it was a veritable civil war of opinions on The Return. On a positive note for Fire Walk with Me - I've been to two screenings of the film, one of which both Sheryl Lee and Ray Wise did a Q&A afterwards. Let me tell you that Ray Wise is a total sweetheart. Had the pleasure of talking with him for a good bit at the end of the night, and he's just the best. Nothing but good things to say about the man.

A good friend of mines first Lynch. movie was Twin Peaks: FWWM April two years ago around this time. I don’t think he was prepared but he’s a big “I’m down for whatever” guy, We went to a midnight showing at our local independent cinema, me and a handful of other buddies/coworkers all went. I had forgotten how brutal is at all was so coming out and the movie I could only imagine his take. While in the rest room at 2:30 in the morning. He started pounding his head against the bathroom wall while using the urinal.. slowing saying “what the fuck did you take me to…”.

Brandon Melling

Agreed. I absolutely love it and after a recent rewatch I consider it to be pretty much flawless. That said, it's VERY Lynch, which means it is very much not going to be for everyone.

I basically came back to the patreon to see the discourse around the movie and season 3. I love the movie, but I have the same reaction when Alex talks about the return. I know Brad and Vinny probably don’t read the comments to avoid spoilers. But I hope someone gives them a heads up the return is nothing like the original show and more like the movie. I feel like they’re gonna be let down by how much it’s being hyped up as beloved. It was definitely divisive amongst fans and critics. I only watched it once, and am still not sure how I feel about it. But plan to rewatch when they get to it to hopefully help solidify my thoughts on it

Brad and Vinny are going to hate the return 😭😭 I personally love it but the first time I watched it I found it frustrating and disjointed but on a rewatch it felt way more cohesive so hopefully Alex’s context can help them enjoy it more . Will be listening either way loved the ep as always !

Like Alex, I first heard audio from this movie on an album. Mushroomhead, on their original version of The Wrist, has the "she's in high school, she's sexually active, she's using drugs" line. I watched this movie after the Deadly Premonition endurance run, so finally hearing that out of nowhere was a real bizarre experience.
