Wake Up Heavy

Finally... Cleo and I have reached the end of Twin Peaks. On this episode we talk about the final three episodes of  Twin Peaks: The Return (2017); Coop's return, Audrey's Dance, Freddie's glove, and Richard and Linda. Did we understand it all? Nope. Did we like it? Yup. Enjoy and thanks for going on this journey with us.

Cleo and I are here with our penultimate episode on the world of Twin Peaks! You can feel things being wrapped up and winding down in episodes 13,14, and 15 of Twin Peaks: The Return (2017). We got some suprises regarding Diane and Janey-E, Nadine and Big Ed, and what finally triggers Coop to wake up. And Audrey and Sleepy Charlie have YET to leave their house!

Cleo and I are back in the world of Twin Peaks! We explore the middle-third of Twin Peaks: The Return (2017) which has some of our favorite episodes. Going forward we will be tackling only three episodes at a time, so expect two more releases from us. Who the heck is Billy?

On this episode Cleo and I leave the world of Twin Peaks and take a side-trip up  Mullholland Dr. (2001). Betty/Diane, Rita/Camilla, Adam Kesher, The Cowboy, who's the guy in the wheelchair(?), Winkie's Man, etc. This. Is. The. Girl.

Cleo and I are back in the world of Twin Peaks. On this episode we jump around the first six episodes of Twin Peaks: The Return (2017) which we both absolutely loved. We are team Dougie Jones all the way. Stay tuned as we hope to finish out the series by the end of summer.

Cleo and I are starting a series about the series Twin Peaks (1990)! This first episode is on our thoughts of the original two season run of the show AND the film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992). We will be following this up with three episodes about Twin Peaks: The Return (2017). And you won't have to wait long for the first of those as we are already working on it!

The film stars Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin Jr. and Paul Walter Hauser as Ed Hocken Jr., with Pamela Anderson along as the love interest, Beth Davenport—an author of true crime novels based on fictional stories that she makes up. The film reunites the powerhouse tr...

A look back at the crappy year that was 2024 and some news about the double crappy start to 2025. Plus my movie watches of last year, the highs and lows and things in between. I'm such a lucky boy.

Please join me for the Third Course of my, "Cannibal Trilogy," started almost exactly one year ago. To round things out I take a stab at the 1982 German film Der Fan , starring Desiree Nosbusch and Bodo Steiger as a young fan and her Pop Star obsession, respectively.

"It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent's fritters." And you really don't want to know what kind of critters they are! This is a strange film for me to be doing a WDIRT episode on, but hey, I like strange things. Plus, it just kept popping into my head over the last few months and I felt like I needed to watch it and exorcize it out of my brain. That lead me to think it would make a...
