Carlos has never been a huge fan of David Lynch, but Chris and Donna were fairly certain he'd still find a lot to like about Twin Peaks - a series they couldn't believe he'd never seen a single episode of.
Chris remembers being entranced by the glimpses he caught of it as a kid and recalls that he later tried to get into it when he was in college without much success. He and Donna both learned to appreciate it several years ago, but they tend to disagree about the ratio of good episodes to bad ones.
And we get into ALL of it - the impressive and hypnotizing first season, the less-focused and more frustrating second season, the much-maligned feature film, and our thoughts on the show's upcoming resurrection.

0:00.0 | Hey, do you remember Twin Peaks? |
0:06.8 | Hello and welcome, Hey, do you remember, Hey Do You Remember, a show where we reminisce about a movie or TV series we grew up with, then take off the rose-tinted glasses to see how it holds up. |
0:32.0 | I'm Chris. |
0:32.8 | I'm Donna. |
0:33.7 | And I'm Carlos. |
0:34.9 | And today we're revisiting Twin Peaks. |
0:56.4 | Thank you. And I'm Carlos. And today we're revisiting Twin Peaks. When it comes to television shows that fall under the heading of Brilliant but cancelled, Twin Peaks stands out as one of the more popular and heartbreaking examples. |
1:01.6 | Often imitated, but rarely equalled, the influence of this series can still be felt all these |
1:06.4 | years later. |
1:07.4 | The investigation into the death of Laura Palmer is certainly a strange and fascinating one, |
1:12.1 | but the real-life story of how this show came to be and how it all ultimately unraveled is nearly |
1:17.0 | as dramatic. What is it about Twin Peaks that has allowed it to enjoy such a successful shelf life? |
1:22.6 | And what will our nostalgia and two decades' worth of expectations mean for its upcoming revival? |
1:28.7 | There's two seasons, |
1:33.6 | a movie, and the prospect of a brand new limited series to discuss. And we've got our damn fine coffee and a plate of donuts right here to help fuel us through it. But first, Carlos, I want to |
1:39.0 | start with you this time because you had never seen Twin Peaks before this. So why don't you talk a little |
1:43.6 | bit about what your impressions were of it and if there was any reason you had never seen Twin Peaks before this. So why don't you talk a little bit about what your impressions were of it, |
1:45.7 | and if there was any reason, you were never particularly compelled to watch it? |
1:50.8 | I always knew of Twin Peaks as being kind of the first great mystery show, |
1:59.1 | like the first kind of weird mystery show. |
2:01.6 | Um, and I think maybe, maybe the talk, I heard more talk about it when like loss was out. |
