Naomi Watts is absolutely slaying this part. Janey-E rules. Play a game and watch her valiant attempts to not corpse at MacLachlan’s rain man routine
Remember the weird editing in the beginning of episode 3, in the purple place? It reminded me so strongly of Martin Arnold’s short film “Alone: Life Wastes Andy Hardy” that I feel it almost had to be an intentional influence.
It’s a great film, and very Lynchian in its way. The filmmaker found a novel method of manipulating the playback of film reels, and used it to create these intense deconstructions of a bunch of old conservative/traditionalist Leave-it-to-Beaver type movies. I find it really startling and creepy, but when I watched it in a film class there was a whole range of reactions, from laughter to deep sadness.
it makes so much sense
[spoiler]So they’re watching Twin Peaks on the ol’ projector in the white lodge and get worried about humanity because of nuclear tests, so they create Laura Palmer in a Dragon Ball to counteract Bob. Got it.
Can’t wait for the Giant floating in the air to become the new four brains meme. [/spoiler]
She’s officially a Christ figure
I’ll just step out of my hyperbolic chamber to state that episode 8 is the greatest thing to ever air on american television.
high school me would of really flipped his lid at nine inch nails in the roadhouse. adult me still loved it too though.
I think one of the old ideas from bob engels back in the fire walk with me days was the lodge people were from a planet of creamed corn or something and people would always say that sounded dumb as hell, “must be an engels idea not a lynch idea” etc, but I always thought lynch would erasehead the hell out of something like that, so this episode was great. everything about this show so far has been everything I could have hoped for from more twin peaks after seeing fwwm
fuck me
HOLY HELL
I knew the ending wouldn’t be the roundhouse since they threw it in the start but I didn’t know it was going to go full nightmare Lynch
the sound that plays over the credits is the same one the giant tells coop to listen for, i think
it’s nice we got to see the white lodge. the scenes in there were kind of beautiful
shades of kubrick and maddin
yeah the bit when they dive into the bomb felt very kubrick to me
RIP the recap/podcast content machine

the weird bob bug thing is watto from star wars
