Twin Peaks (Season 1) with Eva Anderson

Published: Sept. 29, 2024, 4 a.m.

For a brief shining moment, Middle America went crazy for the surreal soap opera stylings of David Lynch and Mark Frost. We\u2019re talking ABC, primetime, airing against \u201cCheers\u201d-level mainstream. And then it all came crashing down. Listen as we take our first step into the intoxicating world of Twin Peaks - one of the most influential television series of all time and the project that would come to define Lynch for the rest of his career. Eva Anderson - who literally grew up in the town Twin Peaks was filmed in and can tell you for a fact that the diner cherry pie sucks - joins us to talk about how such a pop cultural oddity came to be, and why it has such staying power. Note - this episode covers Season 1 of Twin Peaks, but alludes to certain plotlines in Season 2 without directly spoiling them.\xa0\n\nBlank Check Theme (Cherry Pie Remix) composed by\xa0Alex Mitchell, vocals by "The ghost of Julee Cruise" aka\xa0Marie Bardi.\n\nJoin our Patreon for franchise commentaries and bonus episodes.\nFollow us @blankcheckpod on Twitter, Instagram, Threads and Facebook!\xa0\nBuy some real nerdy merch\nConnect with other Blankies on our Reddit or Discord\nFor anything else, check out BlankCheckPod.com \nLearn more about your ad choices.
