Can't listen to this while driving holy shit

I just watched that Twin Peaks explained video. It is not how you described it at all. Do I think it’s the answer? Not sure, but I think it’s very well thought out and is probably close to the mark

You guys should really give more credence to the 4.5 hour analysis. He himself says not to watch it if you want to maintain the mystery Lynch intended and expresses ambiguity in his feelings about giving people the answer. But seriously, his theory is far out and has an incredible amount of evidence, including those quotes you say are out of context but that he clearly uses as a from the source explanation of Lynch's philosophy and approach to making movies. As fellow commentators, the only reason not to watch it is to maintain the mystery or try to figure it out for yourselves because his analysis, though long winded, is the standard now.

season 3 in one word: Garbage

yeah but twin perfect is probably right sorry

Do you think they're using dreampop at the end of each episode intentionally?

That teddybear sounds just like Eric Idle

Margaret's last scene made me tear up, and then when Hawk gave the news to the others I just cried. It was so poignant

After finally watching Twin Perfect’s video analysis, I have to say I think he’s 100% spot on and was able to articulate a lot of concepts (that includes but also goes further than the meta portrayal of tv violence) that I could only pick up on intuitively without the ability to explain. I don’t feel like Jay is giving that video enough credit whether it be smug or not. Just because Lynch says that he finds any interpretation of his work to be valid doesn’t mean that all of those interpretations were his actual intention when creating it. I believe there are correct interpretations of the work

I understand why people may have a problem with the Twin Perfect video. Even I was put off by the presentation style at first, but it’s such a respectfully researched and genuinely analytical theory they put together I can’t help but respect the sheer amount of effort put in. All of that paired with the highly informed interpretations really makes it, if anything, such an interesting video. Obviously, it’s just their interpretation, and the point of Lynch is not to “THEORY EXPLAINED!!!” it, but as a huge fan of the show, I really appreciate the video and can tell how big of a fan they are as well. Finally, everyone should come to their own conclusions, whether they would like to watch a 4 and a half hour long video to help them along their journey, or just ponder to themselves, avoiding fan theories all together. We’re all detectives in our own way, that’s the beauty of Twin Peaks and David Lynch. No one will be able to actually explain everything except Lynch himself, which will never happen and for good reason. Twin Peaks is one of my favorite shows and The Return is one of my favorite films, I’ll gladly watch/listen to anyone talk Twin Peaks for hours on end.

Can’t believe you guys waited 25 years to do this review

I like to think Star Gate and Twin Peaks take place in the same world , They did more are less take him from this and put him in Star Gate.

It's such a downer in a way but you guys have got to watch the whole "twin peaks explained" video. He really does just nail it. He also nails the fact that him nailing it is a downer. But to see it all laid out like that just gives me new respect for Lynch. Watching all of Twin Peaks again after having heard all of the theories was maybe the most fun I've ever had watching a movie or television show. Just my 2 cents.......

Disney has just bought the rights to Twin Peaks for one billion dollars in order to create a fourth season and theme park... Me: wakes up sweating not knowing if I had a nightmare or a prediction...

I've watched the 4 1/2 hour explainer. I found it interesting - it stimulated my brain. After watching about ten minutes of your video I am quite moved by the evident joy you take in The Return, and Lynch's work. I feel like there's a world where both can exist, maybe somewhere in the Pacific Northwest...

what sucks about me is i love lynch and his movies but i never understand them so then i feel like an idiot. like i didn't even think about eraserhead being about adulthood and being a parent until i think you guys pointed it out in the eraserhead vid. i just saw that bitch on stage and was like "wtf is supposed to be about". i love how weird it is i just hate that i dunno wtf everything is supposed to symbolize. i have in my head what i think it all means but there are those people who, when you talk about this show, will just right out fight you on it's meaning and its like ugh why do i bother trying to talk to people about this the answers i wanted answered about twin peaks was why laura and what for. was she just the victim of a possessed man and there was no real reason it was her? was laura the peace in twin peaks, the innocence and when she died it was lost? it was a small town and they were starting to dissapear irl so probably a connection there. then shelly's daughter is basically her, in a relation with an abusive piece of shit. it really does make sense the second time you watch it when they cut to the characters it feels like the show kept going on, like it never stopped if that makes sense? it doesn't feel like they were picked up and plopped down into an alien environment or forced to be there for 1 day. it was like they had always just lived there and we just cut to them living their lives in twin peaks.

Jay was 100% right about that 4hr explained video,, the guy came off super confident about his ideas and it made me hate the guy by the end of it, hes really up his own ass. He took the main theories and stretched it the fuck out and added his own theories on literally a million different details that were all saying the same thing and a lot of the points he made were reaching super hard. The guy was definitely up his own ass big time, it was hard to listen by the end.

Anybody knows how to access twin peaks the return if u r not from US? i'm from asia btw

I'm really glad you discounted the Twin Peaks Explained video. I watched an hour of it and tuned out. Made me feel as though I completely missed the mark on what the show was about. Lynch can get very weird and meta in his work, but I felt the whole TV metanarrative was trying so hard to take the soul out of the show.

Twin Perfect has the looks, unnecessary length and smugness of Tarantino with out any of the talent.

The Chromatics were so perfect for this.

I got drunk watching this review, I don’t think it would make sense if I were sober

Can anyone explain why they do emphatically claim "why would she?!" for Lara Flynn Boyle/Moira Kelly playing Donna in season 3?

Love that you guys agree Bobby was the most improved actor/character

This series was masturbatory garbage with occasional bright spots. And this is coming from someone who is a fan of everything Lynch has done prior.

Bobbies character didn’t change at all as much as y’all are talking about. In the first two seasons he risks his life multiple times to try and help save Shelly from Leo, and the drug dealing and even murder was all to protect Laura. Bobby was always a hero, it’s just more obvious because Americans are brainwashed into thinking drugs=bad cops=good.

46:49 I had the same instinct about that bear, as it resembles the faces in his paintings and stuff. Interestingly, subtitles refer to it as a "robot".

Twin Peaks is a soap opera for nerds.

Cute of RLM to criticize another creator for being smug

I finally watched the entire series, you guys made this video at the perfect moment

I like how I just finished season 3 and was going to watch this and then the 4 hour explanation video, but Jay shitting on that video has soured my expectations of it and I'd rather just rewatch Twin Peaks

IS it about the bunny?

It's all about the bunny.

Evil has a work ethic

Just finished S2 of Twin Peaks.... I will be back.....

Is the old crazy woman in the gun shot scene outside of the diner the Fertelle's Mom from The Goonies? Listening to her this time it reminded me of her exactly and she did look familiar.

The end music upon each episode is garbage! Shit, pretentious, twat music! Feck! Then there’s the crap with Audrey Horne. What the feck?!?!?!?!!!?!?!!!!

Any jumpscares in this video? Lol

I really enjoyed the secret history of twin peaks n the other frost book. The audiobooks wer brilliant n all the alien, spooky woods Native American /historical lore , project blue book stuff is so beautifully done n just really works in the TP universe. I’d love to see more of that stuff if ever lynch/frost wer to do summat in the future....

I made it to when the kid got run over and then bailed. Was too dark for what I could deal with. Wasn’t fun to watch, it was just making me sad.

It’s not about the bunny..........?

Man, Kyle looks so well put together. I bet that was really nice for Lynch, as a Director.

The only modern tv show that demands that you actually can think and use your brain, right besides the extremely underrated Watchmen. Bought the Mark Frost Final Dossier immidiately after seeing the last episode. Anyone talking about a 4th season.... wtf? It ended perfectly strange, tragic and sad

I love getting sucked

God damn it, I'm about to watch two hours of this, aren't I? Who needs sleep anyway.

Finally finished Twin Peaks... The saddest thing in all of Twin Peaks for me is, that David Bowie died before he could reprise his role as Phillip Jeffries, at least they got to bring back the log lady even though the actress died in 2015.

The whole Tammy thing struck me too. Her oversexualization seems very deliberate to me, almost as a commentary on young beautiful actresses, that don't really have the chops, but get a pass from their sleezy bosses. Lynch likes to make his viewers feel uncomfortable, and right away Tammy was uncomfortable to watch, forcing me to think quite a lot about what she's actually doing in the show.

These guys took a back handed dump on the Twin Perfect TP explanation video. Sad. It's one of the best explanations of TP ever done, and changed the entire viewing experience for me personally. I've been a TP fan since 1990, and that 4 1/2 video is a masterclass in understanding the show, both old and new episodes.

I really hope they review Mulholland Drive one day!

I loved the original Twin Peaks, it's one of my favorite shows, but I couldn't get through season 3. It just felt *too* different and like it had nothing to do with the first two seasons. The original seasons took place entirely in Twin Peaks and all of the characters had this believable charm and weirdness to them. Season 3 felt like forced weird awkwardness. That one shot of the guy sweeping the bar floor with nothing of importance happening for several minutes...that's when I just gave up on it. (the scene shows at 13:52 in this video actually)

Evil Cooper is like a shark with those black eyes and calm demeanor except when he is attacking someone.

I rushed through season 2 & 3 in the last two weeks to get to part 1 & 2 of the RLM review. I’m still grappling with that ending.

Josh was never my friend.

Nah it's bad and you know it

It IS about the bunny: The shows culmination spot is at Jack-Rabbits palace!

let'splay

I love Twin Peaks

Strangely enough, John Cleese's great and very VERY detailed audio commentary to the Blue-ray edition of _Fawlty Towers_ unexpectedly nails the main problem with _Twin Peaks._ He (Cleese) frequently points to specific scenes or dialogue which were meant solely as plot devices. And he makes this comment which I think sums this up: many screenwriters know how to write but they don't know (or neglect) the _plot._ I think this is precisely what happened here. Yes, yes, I know that the Standard Answer here is that it's the path that's important, not the goal. Sure, but this facile Joseph-Campbell-like truism only goes so far. _Twin Peaks,_ esp. the third season, is way too much like a Schoenberg music piece gone bad: it consists almost 100% of key changes with no vision. For comparison, think how much time and effort Richard Wagner spent on plotting _Der Ring des Nibelungen_ (despite all the key changes :-) ) Another problem is that Mark Frost has fallen for that cuckoo Blavatskaya, there is a _very_ long story there for which I have no room here. The third season otherwise is _extremely_ well directed and acted, it's a pleasure to watch individual scenes. But... as a whole it's not the league it could have been. The last two episodes are full of cop-outs. They are fun to watch but no more than that.

As slow as people claim this show to be, I was WAY more entertained by this than the latter half of S2.

I was going to unsub if you didnt like Twin Peaks.

I re-watched the entirety of the original Twin Peaks and I bought the blu-ray for The Return just for this video.

I see a lotta comments comparing the Peaks reviews with Jay n' Josh to the Star Trek reviews with Mike n Rich. After catching up with Twin Peaks I think the two shows may be more related then at first glance. Lots of crossover actors between the 2 series. Remember that time Ben Horne killed a Cardassian in his underwear? Ray Wise and David Warner have been several Trek characters in some of Mike n' Rich's favorite eps. Some legendary voice actors have also been in onscreen in both Star Twin and Trek Peaks like Tony Jay and Ian Ambercrombie. I found the scenes where Mädchen Amick gets abused very unrealistic as I am fairly sure she can shapeshift in to a space-sasquatch from the TNG episode: The Dauphin. Even the two main entities in the red room have Trekked the Stars. We all know the Fireman moonlights as Luxwanna Troi's butler and The Arm is...well pretty much the same but forward-talking in DS9. Surely there is enough for a 4 hour long video breaking down how Twin Peaks is just another Holodeck malfunction. Or maybe that Rumpelstiltskin decided to mess with more humans after he was done making poor O'Brien suffer. As one is wont to do. If you do make a 4 hour video make sure it is as obnoxiously smug as possible. Like Cubert Farnsworth explaining flat-earth theory while doing bad impressions of whoever he quotes - levels of smug. That is apparently the popular style for such videos.

4 minutes in. Why did you have to show the Inland Empire face RLM. That is too scary for me.

One thing is sure. David Lynch is a romantic director. With a lot of love and fidelity for his actors. That's so RARE! And mouving. And Lynch send a lot of personal message to his co actors... There is also a lot of things about arms and violence, conjugal violence as you mentionned it. It is very feminist on many points. And there is this almost homeless woman story, where you realize than money can change people, but it also means that you have to do not reject people who have nothing..they are like you...

14:00

Did Jay just fart? I think Jay just farted.

mr jackpots

“We live in a dream” is using human language to convey that reality is something akin to fractals, or simply “is”, and how humanity has affected & been affected by their existence within “reality”. All forms of reality are constantly lying on top of one another, which is why they fade into one another during the show. Then just juxtapose & some other postmodern tropes, and TWIN PEAKS. BoB = mom Ps: watch his short THE ALPHABET. I believe he’s simply fascinated by language, how that constitutes our world, and beyond

I had the exact same feeIing when attempting to watch that "explained"-video

holy shit, didn't know the drug dealer shelly is dating is the dude from lost highway lol

"I often think about Lewis, and his friend Clarke,"

I really genuinely enjoyed this. Thank you!

The craziest thing I've seen. I have to rewatch I see.

Sorry about that other guys for our video explains a lot of things that made a lot of sense when explained you guys might wanna watch it you’re not explaining anything

I have a theory for why Jay is Green. He loves Tom Green.

4 hr video much better than this , that guys way smarter n make more sense

Someone took a doughnut from the table

This is the BEST cold open this channel's ever had!

One of Lucy's first lines: "There's two, it could make a difference." foreshadows her final actions nicely.

The original series were directed by many different directors. Twin Peaks was kinda grungy, that State of Washington vibe

toxic

Thank you so much for the bunny thing, I haven't laughed that hard in a while! ^_^

Alot of the time black and white is used when showing flashbacks in videos, so it was weird watching this, was kinda waiting for them to jump back to the present.

I had those "explained" vids playing while i was doing laundry and some other stuff a while back, i get why jay would have an immediate reaction to everything mentioned in the beginning of the 1st vid given that he's a fan, but it's pretty disingenuous to listen to like 5 minutes and then write the vids off as "for a fact this is what everything means and this is what's happening". They were more a deep dive into themes and interpretations than direct explanations for anything. I get that fanaticism can blind people from others' pov's questioning the things they like, but I found them pretty interesting as someone who doesn't care much for the show's reputation/notoriety.

THANK YOU for spekaing against that awful strawman of an video I shall not name. I felt like I was so alone thinking it was utter bullshit and gainst why Lynch even makes his art, I feel vindicated.

Great review as always guys!! Loved it! I'd like to highly recommend the Entertainment Weekly podcast "A Podcast About Twin Peaks". It came out weekly during the run and had some great stuff and theories. They've updated it a few times with cast interviews and yearly anniversary shows.

Help, is Twin peaks worth watching ?

This got me into watching the old show with my mom, who saw it back in the day. Really good balance of fake detective story, real dramatic plot, wholesome character moments, scares and weird abstract shit, loved it :)

Mr Plinkett, please review Rise of Skywalker.

Is twin peaks coming back to TV?

Yeah

Is it future?

Arm is best boy

god I wish Bowie would have been able to be in this season. Such a shame

I could have sworn Michael Ontkean was super excited to come back, but had to cancel because of some undisclosed reason?

Hey guys! Could you do a Re:View of "The Fly" and of "Sunshine"??

The Return was a once in a lifetimer.

Still waiting on that INLAND EMPIRE re:View

Just watched part 2. No mention of The Expanse in that.

31:04 Cera is very short, maybe 5'1".
