Terry and Joe are back on the Lynch/ Twin Peaks beat as they catch-up on the first two episodes of season two. There's *a lot* of exposition, characters and awkwardly handled tonal changes in these first two episodes that keeps Terry at a distance as a first time viewer. Plus: the show's treatment of women, James Hurley: Singer, Lynch's superior direction, and Terry's continued love of the background at the Great Northern.

Joe and Sharai have made it to Black Summer 's finish line, but even by the end of "Stadium" we're unsure if the journey was worth it. We're delirious but thrilled to be wrapping up this binge with one final discussion about how we don’t know about any of these characters and wonder where this calvary came from.

Sign up for the Victory Project and swap out dinner for oral sex because we're talking Olivia Wilde's Don't Worry Darling (2022).

Terry and Joe return to the Cronenberg side of the pod to discuss the Canadian director's second film of 1983, The Dead Zone. Up for discussion: why this is a better Stephen King film than a Cronenberg film, iconic Canadian royalty in supporting roles, why the narrative works better as a miniseries (or, yes, a TV show - which Joe has seen parts of). Plus: Walken's wild hair, the serial killer narrative, why we wish Cronenberg had written this, the bland female role, and the romanticism (ADR?) of...

Bryan and Joe return for the first of many episodes on Clive Barker's Midian. First up: Barker's 1988 novella Cabal , which Bryan appreciates a little more than Joe, who finds the story too repetitive. Thankfully there's some really smutty parts, and a great deal of duality in most of the characters. Then we move on to Nightbreed : the 1990 studio-compromised monster movie that was mis-marketed and features a confused Craig Scheffer and an over-the-top David Cronenberg as Decker.
