Four fans dive into a complete rewatch of David Lynch and Mark Frost's epic television event "Twin Peaks." With four different starting points—from first-time rewatcher to seasoned expert—we take apart the show that changed how the world watches television. Special content from Lynch's creative universe (books, films, art, and weather reports) also figures into this weekly exploration of deep secrets, dark forces, black coffee, and donuts, donuts, donuts….

BRR presents: Goodnight, Ladies, Part 1—"From Hell" and its Secret Passages to the Lynchverse

Oct 31 2023 82 mins  
Happy Helloween, O children of the night! To sanctify the arrival of the dismal months, we are busting out of our clear acrylic cube to bring you a BRR Special Event! Welcome to GOODNIGHT, LADIES, Part 1, in which we step into the depths of Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell’s legendary graphic novel, From Hell—technically not a Lynch property, although we will be exploring several

Lynchverse #6: Inland Empire

Jun 30 2023 93 mins  
Howdy out there, denizens of the Lynchverse! Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag because we’re hopping on the midnight bus bound for the Inland Empire. This immersive meditation on Hollywood has a reputation for being EXTRA Lynchian—and we can see how folks might hesitate to dive in at first: It’s a bit of a commitment, that’s true, especially for leporiphobes. But yo

Lynchverse #5: The Straight Story

Feb 24 2023 85 mins  
Hey, it’s a party! Two years of Back to the Double R and another damn fine Twin Peaks Day! We hope you’ve all come through the darkest weeks of the season and are ready for a little light, because we’re going full-Disney in one of the simultaneously Least- and Most-David-Lynch films in the catalog, the 1999 biopic, “The Straight Story.” In this extremely (in fact, literal

Lynchverse #4: Angelo Badalamenti and The Soundtrack to Twin Peaks

Dec 24 2022 86 mins  
Our tribute to a master. In November, we recorded our episode on the soundtrack to Twin Peaks and the excellent Clare Nina Norelli book in the 33-1/3 series that honors it so well. Then, in early December, we learned that Badalamenti had passed away, and our tribute became a remembrance. In these dark nights, as we crowd around the fire, alone or with those close to us, we are thin

Lynchverse #3: Eraserhead

Oct 29 2022 105 mins  
If it’s Halloween, this must be Eraserhead!! Greetings, dark spirits and woodspeople of all shapes and sizes! Welcome to Back to the Double R’s Very Special Horrorshow, in which we wander through the industrial and psychological wastelands of David Lynch’s first creature feature film, Eraserhead. What better way to celebrate the Spooky Season than in lush black and white, and

Lynchverse #2: Wild at Heart

Oct 03 2022 90 mins  
Howdy, listeners! Our minor time-slip continues to cause static in our temporal continuity, but we are delighted to bring you our September episode, in our new monthly format, with a deep dive into the wild lives of Sailor and Lula, the twin atomic explosions that drive David Lynch’s comparatively light-hearted adventure, “Wild at Heart.” In this jam-packed episode of Back to

Lynchverse #1: Lost Highway

Jul 31 2022 98 mins  
Hello friends of Back to the Double R! In the closing hours of July, we are sneaking in our first new monthly installment of our hot take on the wider Lynchverse and associated delights. First up: 1997’s exquisite “Lost Highway,” a true Lynch joint through and through, with a number of twists that will definitely follow you home in the dark. Join us back at the 4-top as we na

Special #10: Closing Thoughts

Jun 16 2022 112 mins  
Let’s bring it on home, folks! In this super-sized sendoff, we reflect on the rewatch adventure we went on with you, dear listeners, and we ponder some deep questions about what makes this show magic, after all these years (and in at least three different universes). With 18 months of coffee, kismet, and conundrums under our belts, we close the conversation with: Jennifer, on the

Special #9: Twin Peaks, The International Pilot

Jun 09 2022 69 mins  
The circle is now complete! We started our humble rewatch adventure with you roughly a year and a half ago, and in that time, we have worked our way through 48 episodes, a pile of books, and several tasty Specials. Now, not unlike our earnest Man in Black, we go back to where it all started: the pilot episode of the series! But wait! Because this is Twin Peaks (and Back to the Doub

Special #8: The Final Dossier

Jun 02 2022 68 mins  
Book Club is back in session! After the epic inter-temporal wipeout of Part 18, we pick up the pieces and turn to the slender tome known as The Final Dossier, which is the last of our in-Peaks books (though we will be sticking our noses in other books of the Lynch-verse down the road). One Mr. Mark Frost does a deft job of wrapping up various storylines in bows of various tones, bo
