Chatz: A Television Podcast

This week on PeaksChatz, an old fan favorite returns, a Bond girl puts her shoes on, and that new jerky behind the counter is NOT smoked.EDITOR'S NOTE: I had no idea I Chatzum'd the same album two weeks in a row. It's really good, but also I simply forgot.

Surprise! Welcome to the first episode of a brand-new side-show on the main-feed: "Should You Watch...?" We here at Chatz love our 90s sci-fi darlings and our 00s forgotten gems, but we also want to be a part of all the Charlestons and impending economics collapses of the 20s. This is our way to talk about new shows we otherwise wouldn't cover in our normal format and let you know if they're worth your time. First up: the Showtime original series Yellowjackets. We were excited to discuss its unique blend of teen angst, survival horror, crime thriller, slice of life adult drama, and...some other stuff that we won't spoil here!Here are the timestamps for when spoilers begin.0:00:00 - The discussion begins spoiler-free, except for the basic premise of the show.0:05:00 - Spoilers for the pilot episode begin here.0:24:40 - Spoilers for episodes two through five begin here.0:58:30 - Spoilers for episodes six through ten begin here.Let us know what you think of this format and what you'd like to hear us talk about n

More and more evil is converging on Twin Peaks, and while violence still abounds, there is time to howl like a wolf in the desert with your brother. Becky comes for Steven, Shelly surprises that ChatzKidz, and an accidental gun discharge causes a very loud traffic jam. Also, a portal opens in the sky and someone's dead.Check out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterRedditTwitchEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/ 

This episode features brief descriptions of assault, abuse towards a disabled man, and several uncomfortable scenes. That really tells you what you need to know about Part 10, which attempts to frame Twin Peak's structural violence in fairly gruesome detail.  But there is good buried under the bad parts; Janey-E and Dougie share a moment, the Mitchum Brothers are cartoon characters, and Gordon finds a bit of time to do some drawing.Check out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterRedditTwitchEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/ 

We're back with more coverage of Twin Peaks: The Return! This week, Dougie appreciates the flag, Albert has a comfy blanket, and we were gonna have boat drinks on the beach!Ryan's latest piece on Scanline Media about the anime Serial Experiments Lain: http://scanlinemedia.com/2022/01/05/how-serial-experiments-lain-explores-the-malleability-of-selfhood/Check out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterRedditTwitchEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/ 

We take a brief interlude this week to recuperate from Part 8 and revisit our favorite Season 2 memories with this tier list of every single character in Twin Peaks. Yes, even Duncan Todd.This is the tier list we used if you'd like to make your own and send it in: https://tiermaker.com/create/twin-peaks-all-characters-s-1-3--fire-walk-with-me-98896Check out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterRedditTwitchEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/

Jerry thinks he's high, Diane ups the cuss counter a lot (as she should), Dougie squeezes a hand off, and we enjoy two blissful minutes of sweeping.Happy Holidays, folks! We recorded this and the next PeaksChatz just before the Christmas season came in full swing, so we're all enjoying some time off, but we wanted to keep the show going on the feed in the meantime. We'll be back to recording closer to release in the new year.

Evil, it lies among us! This theme of recurring cycles seems to permeate this section of The Return, and it doesn't always lead to the most exciting storytelling. Meanwhile, a spike is broken, Dougie's symbols have meaning, and Chad continues to suck!Check out chatzpod.com for all things Chatzpod!TwitterRedditTwitchEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/ 

Twin Peaks: The Return firmly sets itself in 2010s America, and sometimes that leads to some unsavory realizations about our favorite characters! Meanwhile, a key is brought home, Dougie's acting weird, and evil resides in the Roadhouse.TwitterRedditTwitchEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/ 

Hot off the heels of Mark Frost's Wild Ride, we return to The Return with the introduction of Wally Brando the GOAT, old characters struggling to remember their place in this world, and we regret to inform you that David Lynch is horny again.TwitterRedditTwitchEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/ 

Allen and Magellan play the T.P. to Michel's Archivist in this special episode of PeaksChatz. Don't know what that means? How about they're the Lewis to his Clark? Still not sure? Okay then, let's try...you know what? We don't want to spoil anything else. You gotta listen to this one.TwitterRedditTwitchEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/

It's time to peer into the glass box, take a trip to South Dakota, and...oh, Cooper's back? Ryan P. joins us for coverage of Twin Peaks: The Return, and our first delve into the critically-acclaimed series takes us on quite the odyssey. We're very excited for people to watch with us, so please consider watching along if you haven't seen the series before. We do our best to summarize, but at some point this is a series that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.TwitterRedditTwitchEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/ 

In our break between our coverage of original Twin Peaks and The Return, please enjoy this re-broadcast of a recent Patreon episode in which our friend Six Dettmar (from Scanline Media) quizzes us on our Twin Peaks knowledge. We'll be back next week with Ryan to discuss Parts 1 and 2 of The Return!TwitterRedditTwitchEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/ 

We're not done with Fire Walk with Me just yet, folks! This week, friend of the podcast Ryan P. joins us to re-assess the parts of the film surrounding Laura's story, as well as all of the added scenes in The Missing Pieces compilation. Some of it is great, some...well, some of it made for good soundboard clips.TwitterRedditTwitchEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/ 

We are thrilled this week to bring you our discussion of Fire Walk with Me with very special guest Courtenay Stallings. Discussion topics include: how we reconcile the first 2/3 of the film with its incredible third section, the characters in Laura's life that fans have gravitated towards, and the way Courtenay's book and the film provide a form of healing for women who have experienced similar trauma to Laura Palmer. This episode was really special, and I hope you all get something out of it.Buy Courtenay's book, "Laura's Ghost: Women Speak about Twin Peaks" here: Follow Courtenay on Twitter:TwitterRedditTwitchEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/ 

Cooper makes one final excursion to the Black Lodge, a bank owner steals our hearts, love can prevail, and...Annie's fine, probably. Yes that's right, this week we watched the series finale of the original Twin Peaks! And boy do we have some thoughts, covering the episode itself as well as the series as a whole, and we finally answer the question of "Where can I skip around the series?" Next week we are watching Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, which requires a huge content warning up front for sexual violence and nudity, and the following week is The Missing Pieces! Onwards and upwards!PatreonTwitterRedditTwitchEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/

Our guest for this episode, Scanline Media and SunsetChatz's own Six Dettmar, came into this recording with one goal: to talk about the "worst" episode of Twin Peaks so hard that we'd have to spin it off into its own PeaksChatz episode.
