David Lynch and Mark Frost\'s Twin Peaks has been a touchstone of Weird Studies since the podcast\'s inception. Back in 2018, Phil and JF recorded Episode 1: Garmonbozia while still reeling from the series\' third season, which aired on Showtime the year before. Now, in preparation for their upcoming course on Twin Peaks, they watched the third season again and recorded this episode. Their conversation touched on the virtues of late style in the arts, the divergence of knowing and understanding, the fate of Agent Dale Cooper, and the dream logic of the _Twin Peaks _universe.
