The Pilot

Janine and Mike discuss the EXPLOSIVE season finale of the first season of Twin Peaks. Chaos ensues in the town of Twin Peaks and all of our favorite (and let's be honest, a few of our least favorite) characters are in peril! But don't worry, we brought something sweet to calm us down... All this excitement calls for one last legacy this season: the legacy of Cliffhangers!

It is the PENULTIMATE EPISODE of Season 1, and Janine and Mike waste no time diving into the drama, including the terrible names used aliases, all while doing a few impressions along the way. And this week we have our first every character study as we discuss this week's legacy: Audrey Horne!

We're down to the last 3 episodes of Season 1, and Janine is worried about everyone in Twin Peaks. Janine and Mike meet up (finally in person!!!) and discuss the very dramatic, very emotional sixth episode of season 1, all leading up to this week's legacy: the music of Twin Peaks.

Hawaii, Llama, and just a dollop of mayonnaise. These are just a few of the subjects Janine and Mike dive into as they explore the fifth episode of Twin Peaks' first season. So get those golf balls out of your mouth, and listen in as we discuss this week's legacy: genre-mixing!

Tensions are high in Twin Peaks, and it's up to Janine and Mike to break it all down... while struggling through some technical difficulties of course... Nonetheless, this week we discuss ducks on the lake, recognizing faces (or not!), and falling asleep on the subway. All leading up to this week's legacy: The Murder of Laura Palmer

This week, Mike and Janine tackle the monumental third episode of Twin Peaks. Janine reacts to the wonderfully weird and surreal elements of this episode (and of course, it's dance numbers) for the very first time, while also finding some eerie coincidences between the show and her own life. Then, Mike takes Janine behind those infamous red curtains to discuss this week's legacy: The Red Room.

WARNING: YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY WANT PIE, DONUTS, AND COFFEE WHILE LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE! This week, Janine discusses her reactions to the second episode of Twin Peaks and all the character development it has to offer. Janine then joins Mike for some sweet snacks as they discuss this episode's legacy: the food in Twin Peaks!

On the first ever episode of Welcome to Twin Speaks, Janine and Mike dive head first into the hefty 1 hour and 30 minute Pilot episode of Twin Peaks. We discuss dead bodies wrapped in plastic, dancing kids in the hall, and even pocket rockets, all leading up to the discussion of this week's legacy: the legacy of The Pilot itself.
