Chatz: A Television Podcast

It's time to peer into the glass box, take a trip to South Dakota, and...oh, Cooper's back? Ryan P. joins us for coverage of Twin Peaks: The Return, and our first delve into the critically-acclaimed series takes us on quite the odyssey. We're very excited for people to watch with us, so please consider watching along if you haven't seen the series before. We do our best to summarize, but at some p...

In our break between our coverage of original Twin Peaks and The Return , please enjoy this re-broadcast of a recent Patreon episode in which our friend Six Dettmar (from Scanline Media ) quizzes us on our Twin Peaks knowledge.

We're not done with Fire Walk with Me just yet, folks! This week, friend of the podcast Ryan P. joins us to re-assess the parts of the film surrounding Laura's story, as well as all of the added scenes in The Missing Pieces compilation. Some of it is great, some...well, some of it made for good soundboard clips. Twitter Reddit Twitch Email : chatzpod@gmail.com Our main podcast feed art was done by...

We are thrilled this week to bring you our discussion of Fire Walk with Me with very special guest Courtenay Stallings. Discussion topics include: how we reconcile the first 2/3 of the film with its incredible third section, the characters in Laura's life that fans have gravitated towards, and the way Courtenay's book and the film provide a form of healing for women who have experienced similar tr...

Cooper makes one final excursion to the Black Lodge, a bank owner steals our hearts, love can prevail, and...Annie's fine, probably. Yes that's right, this week we watched the series finale of the original Twin Peaks! And boy do we have some thoughts, covering the episode itself as well as the series as a whole, and we finally answer the question of "Where can I skip around the series?"   Next wee...

Our guest for this episode, Scanline Media and SunsetChatz's own Six Dettmar, came into this recording with one goal: to talk about the "worst" episode of Twin Peaks so hard that we'd have to spin it off into its own PeaksChatz episode. As you can see, this plan was a success. Patreon Twitter Reddit Twitch Email : chatzpod@gmail.com Our main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose wor...

Early episode content warning for a brief mention of self-harm previously attempted by a main character, but no in-depth discussion of it. It is in the first fifteen minutes if you would like to skip. What is Twin Peaks anymore, folks? Is it a good show? A generic soap opera? A seething fresco perhaps? Well one thing's for sure, we watched some episodes this week, and we're splitting the releases...

Roommate of the Pod Charlie rejoins us this time around to discuss Twin Peaks 's most startling and affecting visual sequence, as well as to create a Twin Peaks meme for the Zillennials in the crowd.

I think creamed corn probably tastes alright. I don't know why it has to be this cool magical evil food. How much could possibly be lying underneath the artifice of an American staple food? None of this and more are answered this week on PeaksChatz, but we still had a great time discussing more of Season Two!

Article referenced in the episode: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/27/watching/twin-peaks-how-to-watch-guide.html Season 2 of Twin Peaks is a strange beast, but it's premiere does a great job of setting up fresh mysteries while solving old ones. Does the Giant ever hit his head on Cooper's pull-up bar? Is Albert always going to be a mean man? And most importantly, are Laura's sunglasses secretly a...

Twin Peaks goes into maximum overdrive as characters get shot, fires burn, and a sad, lonely father takes a life out of revenge.

We had the Log Lady write this week's episode summary: "When doubled voices magnify a baby's cry, they loudly chew kale and wash out their mouths with flavorful soap. Don't argue over the shape of this story, just the origins. Eat, and be satisfied." So, yeah. Hope that helps you understand what we talk about!
