Summary: Welcome to Hanging With Agent Cooper: A Twin Peaks Podcast. In this episode, I share my experience with being an OG Twin Peaks fan, how it shaped who I am and my storytelling sensibilities before diving into a review of The Return episodes 1 & 2. From there, I analyze the themes that will run throughout all 18 episodes before concluding with an examination of the lyrics to "Shadow" by the Chromatics and how the song speaks to the deeper themes that Lynch and Frost will explore in their return to the Pacific Northwest's most famous town. Grab your golden shovel, pour yourself a cup of coffee (or a bowl of creamed corn, if that's your thing), and crank that volume up all the way as you take a night time ride. Welcome to Hanging With Agent Cooper, everyone! I have no idea where this podcast will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange. (That's not true, by the way. I know exactly where this podcast will lead us, but I thought that quote was a perfect way to conclude this paragraph!) If you want to share any or all of your thoughts related to David Lynch, Mark Frost, any of Lynch's works, your emotions surrounding Twin Peaks seasons 1 & 2, Fire Walk With Me or the Return itself, please don't hesitate to write into hangingwithagentcooper@yahoo.com
