And so it ends! In this, our final episode of The Black Lodge Complaint Department, hosts Daniel Williams and Adam Baugher reminisce about the past year of podcasting, the good and bad of Twin Peaks, and the, uh, “success” of BLCD. Sit back, relax, and join in as these two opposing forces take on (for Read More
Well well well, with “Part 18” the series finally concludes! While Daniel maintains the ending is unsatisfying, Adam firmly believes Cooper did the job he set out to do. Also: The worst sex scene in television history, and some rednecks are assaulted. But it’s an alternate reality, maybe, so it doesn’t count? Maybe… Our main Read More
This week Adam and Daniel discuss “Part 17” of Twin Peaks: The Return! According to Adam, it’s more or less the conclusion to the story, which is weird, because there’s one more episode in the series. HOW LYNCHIAN OF HIM! Anyway, Cooper has his showdown moment stolen by Cockney Glovehand, another false “Diane” is revealed, Read More
“Part 16” of Twin Peaks: The Return begins with the Death of Richard Horne, in which NO TEARS WERE SHED. That guy was the worst. Also: Chantal and Hutch are also dead now, and Adam and Daniel are a-okay with that. They also sucked. “Diane” is dead, too. Wow, this episode killed a lot of Read More
In “Part 15” we sadly say goodbye to the Log Lady. She served bravely in the war against the Black Lodge, and she will be missed. Elsewhere, Mr. C meets face-to-face… well, face-to-tea kettle, with PHILIP JEFFERIES, who, I guess lives in a giant tea kettle at the Dutchman’s Lodge? Who even knows with this Read More
Hot damn! “Part 14” is coffee time, baby! Alzorn Rennerskön gives us all a Blue Rose history listen, and we get to learn about tulpas. Weeeeeeee no. It turns out Diane is related to Janie-E, which ends up being not important in the slightest. Oh, and Naido is nekkid in the woods because David Lynch Read More
What is this, kindergarten?! In “Part 13”, Daniel and Adam witness the might, the POWER, of a single punch from Mr. C. Dougie-Cooper uses his supreme interrogation skills (and love of pie) to convince Anthony to confess all of his misdeeds. We get more of Audrey’s pointless storyline, as if Daniel needed more reason to Read More
On this week’s episode we’re covering “Part 12”. Adam and Daniel join Tammy and, ugh, “Diane”, as the newest recruits into the Blue Rose task force! Rejoice! The downside is we have to listen to Gordon Cole tell boring stories to strange French women. Booooooo. Also, Sarah Palmer thinks turkey jerky is bullshit, and Daniel Read More
In “Part 11”, to the God of Death Miriam says NOT TODAY! Meanwhile, Becky totally loses her shit and violently assaults an apartment door. As a parent, Daniel just can’t approve of how Shelley and Bobby deal with the situation. Let’s not forget that, if it weren’t for Szymon’s fresh-baked cherry pie, our poor Dougie-Cooper Read More
Listen, Daniel loves the Log Lady as much as the next guy that doesn’t like Twin Peaks, but he firmly believes that Laura Palmer sucks and is not “The One.” In “Part 10” we see more classic Twin Peaks-branded violence against women; which, just for the record, sucks and is unecessary! Also, and unrelated, Nadine Read More
In this week’s episode, our intrepid hosts Adam and Daniel cover “Part 9”, in which we’re introduced to Tim Roth’s less-than-stellar accent work, the LVPD are surprisingly good at their jobs, and Gordon Cole is reunited with Major Garland Briggs… more or less. Our main theme, “Downstream” was composed by CNTRL_ALT_DSTRY. The song “Ghostwood” was Read More
Daniel and Adam are again joined by a man who, until recently, was considered a friend – Heath Aldrich! His opinions re: “Part 8” really put ol’ D Willi in a funk >:( Anyway, Ray takes a step towards redemption by gunning down Mr. C (hooray!) but thanks to the homeopathy of THE WOODSMEN, Mr. Read More
Listen we all know and all agree that Diane is the name Special Agent Dale Cooper gave to his most beloved possession, his Realistic Micro-27 handheld tape recorder. So it’s weird to Daniel that, in “Part 7” Laura Dern shows up playing a character named “Diane!” THERE CAN’T BE TWO DIANES, TWIN PEAKS!!! Some other Read More
In this week’s episode, Daniel takes a stand against murdering children! He’s very brave. “Part 6” shows us a little more Richard Horne (mostly that he’s a total beta cuck), Janey-E firmly stands up to Daniel Faraday, and Ike the Spike does what he does best! Our main theme, “Downstream” was composed by CNTRL_ALT_DSTRY. The song Read More
HOBOY, THIS ONE IS WHACKY. Though, I guess they all are… In “Part 5” Adam and Daniel are introduced to the dastardly Richard “Lil Dick Energy” Horne (these Horne boys, I tells ya!), Cooper-Dougie’s various coworkers, and Shelly’s daughter Becky. Wow, that’s a lot. Also: JACOBY HAS A YOUTUBE CHANNEL. Our main theme, “Downstream” was Read More
We’re back, and we’re talking Twin Peaks, duh! In “Part 4” Cooper is Dougie now. DEAL WITH IT NERDS. And holy cow he’s like, really good at slot machines. Skill, finesse, HE’S GOT IT ALL, BABY! Elsewhere, we get to spend some time with Sheriff Nü Truman, Gordon Cole and Alvern Rozerbeam head to South Read More
Today Adam and Daniel are discussing “Part 3” (Daniel is loving these titles) and what can be said, really? It. Gets. Weird. Special Agent Dale Cooper, after last week’s Red Room escape, finally makes it back to the real world, and the results are… disappointing, to say the least. In Philadelphia, we meet Special Agent Read More
Daniel and Adam are here yet again to discuss Twin Peaks: The Return! Sorry? And joining us is friend of the pod Heath Aldrich! In, “Part 2” Mr. C’s henchman Jack enjoys a delicious Spaghetti lunch, Hawk goes a-huntin’ for the Black Lodge, and we meet THE ARM 2.0. Also in this episode, Twin Peaks Read More
ONCE AGAIN WE RETURN! It definitely feels like 25 years has passed since Adam and Daniel have talked Twin Peaks, or maybe it’s been minutes? In Twin Peaks, time is wibbly. In the season three premiere, cleverly titled “Part 1”, 25 years has passed, and we see what our old friends have been getting into. Read More
In this week’s episode we conclude our coverage of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The story of Laura Palmer continues, but does it ever really conclude? Spoilers: NO!

In the penultimate episode of Twin Peaks season 2, Truman and Cooper uncover most of the secrets of the Black Lodge.

Our main theme, “Downstream” was composed Read More
In Twin Peaks episode 220, “The Path to the Black Lodge,” Cooper and Truman delve further into the Owl Cave petroglyph. Also, the loveable Major Briggs takes the most dangerous walk, and as a result, gets attacked by a horse. It’s all very stupid. Our main theme, “Downstream” was composed by CNTRL_ALT_DSTRY. The song “Ghostwood” Read More
Adam and Daniel are at it again, covering episode 219 of Twin Peaks – “Variations and Relations.” Once again, Windom Earle tries and fails to show us how scary he is.

We are again joined by a guest! CalamityCast founding Member William Mead takes a seat at the table to chat about Twin Peaks episode 218 – “On the Wings of Love.” We learn of some top-notch hangover cures, our guest gets enraged at the thought of eating unwashed carrots, and Lucy has feelings… underpants feelings. Read More
This week we’re going over Twin Peaks episode 217, “Wounds and Scars” and, man, this one was something else. There’s “good” and then there’s “something else.” There’s another romantic picnic scene, Norma’s sister moves to town, and Truman gets friggin’ trashed! Our main theme, “Downstream” was composed by CNTRL_ALT_DSTRY. The song “Ghostwood” was composed by Read More
One day we’ll all look back on this and wonder, “why?” Until then, Adam and Daniel cover episode 216 of Twin Peaks – “The Condemned Woman,” wherein James and Donna break up for what seems like the fifth time, Josie is raptured, and Billy Zane(?!) shows up to leer at a teenager! Super cool… Our Read More
Wow, episode 215 of Twin Peaks, entitled “Slaves and Masters” is something else, folks. Windom Earle is a truly disappointing villain, Catherine enjoys a delicious pig’s head dinner with Thomas Eckhart, and James gets wanged on the noggin. On the plus side… um, hmmm… oh! Shelly and Norma share a sensual scene at the Double Read More
The fellas once again welcome a guest to their madness! This time, Daniel’s sister (whose name is, I wanna say is Sarah?) join in the discussion. In, “Double Play” episode 214 of Twin Peaks, OH FUCK LEO’S AWAKE! That can’t be good… Certainly there are some more positive beats, right? Uh, Evelyn and Malcolm enact Read More
