This movie spoils like all of twin peaks lol. So should’ve definitely been watched after. None the less one of my favourite movies, but very interested to see if you guys enjoy it with no context at all, because honestly I can’t imagine that, due to how much it relies on seeing the show.

Honestly, we thought it held up as a standalone film, but there are certainly minor characters we didn't get (the people in the red-curtain room and the guy Laura gives her diary to for safe keeping stand out).

Twin peaks being spoiled also doesn’t matter as much as most shows. There is so many mysteries and it’s the execution of it that really matters. Also this movie was made before season 3 so it doesn’t spoil a thing from that.

Oh no! Who are these crazy people that told you it would be fine to start with the movie? It’s as much a sequel as it is a prequel, and even the prequel stuff spoils a lot of big reveals from the show. This is such a bummer. I’m conflicted on whether to even watch this. On the one hand, a lot of the pure surrealist stuff works the same regardless of what context you do/don’t have for it. On the other hand, as someone who has been desperately craving good reactions to the show, I worry that it will be just too painful to watch them spoil it for themselves. To those who watched the reaction, would you say that it’s worth seeing anyways?

Cole

They said they enjoyed it so I’m gonna watch. But ya, who killed Laura Palmer is the central mystery for the first half of the show, so it is disappointing this was watched before the show. Twin peaks has a lot more going for it than just this mystery tho so it’s not like they wouldn’t love the show still.

You mistaking dale’s name for Douge is the most ironic shit ever.

I just had a heart attack ..... 😳 Yeah, you'll love the execution (of the series), but ionno 😐 Did you already know the answer (to who killed Laura Palmer) or did someone tell you to do this first?

Cole

If you guys are going to watch twin peaks definitely react to all of it.

I'm conflicted too, omg, I'm going to have to sit on this for awhile and decide. Part of the fun of a first react is them guessing everyone lol. One channel did a series of seeing if they could guess who did it before the reveal with full breakdowns and everything and it was so much fun!

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Yes, definitely probably doesn't matter to enjoy the show, but might for watch along value. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I know I'll still love all your commentary on the uniqueness of the show though!

truly. i just listened to the part of the intro where you said people told you it could be watched as a standalone movie . . . which, sure. you don't need the context of the show to appreciate the movie, but if you're planning to watch the show it's kind of a bummer to watch the movie first. since a lot of the first season plus of the show is about finding answers that the movie just gives you. there's still a lot to appreciate with the show, but if you have a decent memory this is going to kill some of the suspense.

The person who requested us to watch the movie said that they watched this before the series. I have no idea what the series looks like but I must say I am curious to watch it. I still have nothing but questions. Besides, there is a third season that came out years after this film.

This was purchased by a subscriber. You buy it, we watch it! Loved this movie and I think us doing the show would be a lot of fun

David Lynch is incredible. Huge fan of everything he's done. On the other hand whoever told you to watch this before the first two seasons is insane.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Well that's too bad actually (that they purchased it) lol, but I'm glad yall enjoyed it! ❤️ I know watching along would be fun because of yall! Just not AS MUCH for one of the most iconic reveal moments in tv history. I'm a reaction purist, what can I say? 😆 (don't mind me, just venting, yall are gr8)

Youtalkingtome

Well if we do decide to do the show, it'll be a while. I'll avoid watching the movie again. Obviously we have a lot of information going forward but I am curious to see it and looking at it knowing what happens could be really interesting.
