Fire Talk With Me

After 2 years instead of 25, Allie and Jeremy return to discuss Fire Walk With Me. They reflect on the podcast's journey so far, the unconventional choices made regarding the focus of the Twin Peaks feature film, and the texture it adds to the series. Does anyone watch this movie without watching the original series? Fire Talk With Me has returned, and will be back in time for Season 3.

Dana Gould joins Allie and Jeremy to discuss the final episode of what we can now call the original series of Twin Peaks. Allie reflects upon her predictions throughout the podcast, Dana contextualizes the events of the finale to its original airing, and boy are we glad we didn't do this when the fate of Seaosn 3 was still up in the air. Covered here: Episode 29 (30 including The Pilot, or S02E22)

Ray Wise is a fan of monsters in the movies, and has played his own share of them...including Leland Palmer. Last August, Fire Talk With Me producer (and Electric Shadow host) Moisés got a few precious minutes with Ray to talk about Twin Peaks, Swamp Thing, and the roles he still hungers to play. As a bonus, hear Ray record the show intro you now know so well...and in a single take. Scheduling our very special guest for the podcast covering the final episode of the TV show has proven tricky. We were going to hold this interview for later, but here it is to tide you over until we have a new, "proper" episode.

Brad Dukes wrote Reflections: An Oral History of Twin Peaks (which any fan of this podcast should get), so he's the most ideal guest we could hope for as we close in on the very end of the (original run) of the show, and especially for this particular episode. Covered here: Episode 28 (29 including The Pilot, or S02E21)

Filmmaker Jeff Mahler has a Twin Peaks origin story that mirrors part of our show concept in a wonderful way. In this episode, learn how evocative a styrofoam cup can really be. Covered here: Episode 27 (28 including The Pilot, or S02E20)

Katie Hasty from HitFix joins Allison and Jeremy to talk about why Bobby doesn't get no swag, and where to enter the best pageants. Covered here: Episode 26 (27 including The Pilot, or S02E19)

Critic and not-Allison Todd Gilchrist joins Jeremy to talk about the episode where Twin Peaks turns things back around, restoring the faith of fans in a single episode. Covered here: Episode 25 (26 including The Pilot, or S02E18)

Writer/producer/man of many hats Jeff Katz joins Allie & Jeremy to talk about how Twin Peaks is the reason that modern TV shows we think are great have the license to be so in the first place. Covered here: Episode 24 (25 including The Pilot, or S02E17)

Brock Wilbur is our first-ever return guest (he previously appeared on our first Special), and he rejoins Allie & Jeremy at a critical moment. Covered here: Episode 23 (24 including The Pilot, or S02E16)

​Covered here: Episode 22 (23 including The Pilot, or S02E15)

Writer Damon Houx is finally rewarded for making himself scarce for the podcast’s entire run until now. Your reward is that Allie watched a David Lynch movie in addition to this episode, and she reveals more about her Lynchian music-making plans. Crack open a Pabst Blue Ribbon. Episode 21 (22 including The Pilot, or S02E14).

Actor/raconteur/bon-vivant Noah Segan joins Allie and Jeremy to talk about an episode that he has not seen in many years. In the same way that Episode 20 opens in a semi-surreal dreamscape, the format you know and love is thrown entirely out the window in this back-from-hiatus episode of the show. Episode 20 (21 including The Pilot, or S02E13).

Writer/comedian Julia Prescott almost joins the show as a regular co-host, pushing either Allie or Jeremy out in a dramatic ouster (or not, or does she?)! Find out who dies so that she can reign supreme! Also: can/should we accept the transition to Tame Flannel Cooper? In this podcast, the gang discusses Episode 19 (20 including The Pilot, or S02E12).

Alex Hirsch created Disney XD's Gravity Falls, which does not owe its origins to Twin Peaks, despite what you might assume! He joins Allison and Jeremy to discuss filler, and how to do it without boring an audience. In this podcast, the gang discusses Episode 18 (19 including The Pilot, or S02E11).

DC Pierson is an author, actor, and, in a first for one of our guests, just-as new to Twin Peaks as Allie! He joins Allison and Jeremy to discuss the first episode to come after another landmark moment in the series. In this podcast, the gang discusses Episode 17 (18 including The Pilot, or S02E10).
