what's your favorite david lynch film?
Weirdly enough Inland Empire. It's def not his best, but there's something that really pulls me into that world.
mulholland drive
If we're talking about just a movie then it's Mulholland Drive. But if we're talking about my favorite thing David Lynch has ever made as a whole then it's easily Twin Peaks
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
twin peaks: fwwm but his best work is the return
"I can't even stress how much i love the characters" cuts to james
james was so fun to hate
“James was always cool”
🤡 “jAmEs WaS aLwAyS cOoL” 🤡
I love twin peaks but I would do anything to go back in time and cut him out of the series
🎶Just youuuuuu and iiiii (and i)🎶
Major Briggs telling Bobby his dream is one of the greatest scenes in TV history and it makes me smile every time I see it
There's something Beautiful about it
major briggs was the biggest chad on the show
@@TheKoprusInspiration "what are you afraid of?!?!?!" "The possibility that love is not enough." Garland Briggs pure boss.
I cried when i saw that
Major Briggs as a character really just soothes my soul in ways I didn't know a soul could be soothed tbh
Dale’s love for minuscule, ordinary things that he enjoys like the smell of trees in Twin peaks and the taste of cherry pie or the coffee etc (the irony of him being a detective and paying attention to details like this) and his overall fascination with the town itself is so satisfying and interesting to watch. He’s by far my favourite character of the show and I just started watching it.
Same him and log lady are my favorites; I think it’s cute how Cooper has this childlike wonder when it comes to the more mundane things in the world
@@BoredGhostInk And then Return had to happen :/
@@imperfect_dan7519 yeah…
He's a fish out of water who is enjoying every second of it.
@@imperfect_dan7519 ikr... although I love the general mystery and the people of TP, Cooper's personality is the one that intrigues me most. And then the finale just had to be :/
"I still can't tell if I love or hate Nadine."
I've never heard something so true.
I love Nadine’s age regression but, like the rest of season 2, it goes on a bit too long without going anywhere.
She redeemed herself in the return, I think part 15.
@@marcsoren7 She dug herself out of the shit.
i just feel really bad for her
Hated Nadine the first watch, top tier character the second watch
"At one point my Netflix started buffering, and it took me 30 seconds to realize that it wasn't a part of the show"
Same!
dale cooper is the love of my life
Likewise, he's ultimately totally endearing, despite his eccentric personality. Kyle MacLachlan is also easy on the eyes as well! 👀😍☕
lol hey
No matter your sexual orientation, we all want a Dale Cooper to take us for a picnic in the woods of Washington with a big thermos of coffee.
Yesss that ✨fine✨ hair
@@tatehildyard5332 and give his soul to save you.
I feel like a part of my brain understands this show, but sometimes my arms bend back
you clever dog
The biggest slap to the face is avoiding this video because of spoilers, watching the whole thing, having your whole life turned inside out, and returning to finally watch the video only to hear within the first 10 seconds that there wouldn't be any spoilers.
FUCK, SAME! lol
Same 💀 but kinda glad i did it the way i did it
yep. did the same thing but damn i love this show
I mean it's not really a show where spoilers will affect anything lol
Exactly what happened to me 😂
I love the intentionally cheesy scenes as well. It makes the show really funny.
They’re not intentionally cheesy though. All the love scenes where the music swells are 100% genuine. That’s the point, to contrast the darkness and the light and show a balance of both.
Hur hur hurrrrr!!!!!
@@emilyrainflower25there are some definite intentional homages and parodies of soap operas though
@@Y-two-K David lynch directly said that it *is* a soap opera so parody might not be the best word, but homage sure
I feel the scenes that make you laugh are put in there just to hard wrench you deeper into the nightmare.
I remember when I first watched Twin Peaks, I couldn't believe a show like that could exist. It was so bizarre but beautiful and mysterious. I think I binged the first two seasons in less than three days. I also really loved the female characters, Audrey Horne and Shelly were goals.
audrey horne is one of the pillars of my personality
Donna sucked though
Audrey is perfect, I loved her as much as agent Cooper 😻 so it was hard for me to understand that she can't be with him, but also I really appreciate the fact they never actually be together.
@@spanish-inquisition2024 blame it on Donna (her actress) 😭
What else are your favorite shows?
Major Briggs is an underrated character imo. In a show full of very colorful and outstanding characters I think his subtlety tends to keep him hidden in the background, but boy is that dude eloquent as all hell. The way he talks comes off like a letter written by Abraham Lincoln.
Can't believe they made a spinoff about him where it reveals he runs a base with wormhole to other planets.
@@Jotariis it the dossier mark frost wrote?
David Lynch can't say it enough. To paraphrase: "if I explained it, it would ruin the mystery and destroy the experience".
Also, one of the things that makes Twin Peaks is the Angelo Badalamenti score. It's truly magical.
And his music combined with the mesmerizing voice ofJulee Cruise.
Can we talk about the character Denise! To have such a character IN THE 90'S just shows how much ahead of his time Lynch always has been. "Fix your hearts or DIE!"
Yes! I saw Twin Peaks for the first time when I was 16 (so like 2008) and it seemed ahead of its time even for that decade.
YESSSS
And that Cooper respected Denise’s wish to be referred to as female just cemented how great of a character he is.
its interesting, with Denise's introduction (which occurred after lynch stepped away from the show for a bit if im not mistaken) and the way she's utilized in the show, it seems she's very much not meant to be taken seriously, but im glad at least by the return they attempted to rectify it
@@sawdustanddiamonds99 seeing her in The Return was a pleasant surprise; she was such a lovable character for her short appearance, and I still think that middle slump in the second season had its moments
“There was a fish, in the percolator.”
One of the most horrifying lines in history!
"Twin Peaks" is one of those trippy shows which can be hard to comprehend, but it was clearly ahead of its time, and while its initial run was short, its lecacy has only grown, thanks to rewatches and the revival series! 😍☕
There are so many great shows (and mediocre shows) that only exist because of Twin Peaks. You can draw a straight line from Twin Peaks to Northern Exposure to The Sopranos, and from The Sopranos to dozens of other shows with edgy antiheros in quirky, outrageous situations (Breaking Bad). You can also draw a straight line from Twin Peaks to the glut of CSI shows (there were zero shows before Twin Peaks that focused so intently on forensics, crime scenes, etc). You can also draw a straight line from Twin Peaks to The X-Files to dozens of other shows (Supernatural, Fringe, The Killing, Lost, etc). Even now you have Big Sky on ABC, which is mostly a terrible show...but I keep finding myself watching it just for the echoes of Twin Peaks and trying to analyze what made Peaks so much better. (A few years ago Fox had "Wayward Pines", which was apparently based on a book series also--like Big Sky--yet clearly was trying to emulate Twin Peaks, and failing.)
I watched The Return maybe around 7 times over quarantine, and man oh man, it makes more and more sense to me every time. No matter how many times I watch it, there is so much that hasn't been discovered yet, it's the strangest gift that keeps on giving. Episode 8 is... indescribable. Fuckin genius.
I’ve only watched it twice because the end absolutely guts me every time. It’s perfect and the best season of TV I’ve ever seen. But man it’s bleak and hard to watch sometimes. Definitely wanna go for a third viewing soon.
Why do you think the Lodge repeats the instructions to Cooper in Part 18? Half of the instructions are the same thing from Part 2.
Yes! I watched all of Twin Peaks for the first time during quarantine this year. 🤓
I started watching Twin Peaks since the beginning of the year. I even remember when I was telling my fam that cases were rising in China and we have to see what’ll happen...
@@Taylor-lm5op possibly because we were being shown the end at the beginning, that time is crazy and to reinforce the dream thing, idk lol.
Karsten: "Explaining David Lynch comes off as pretentious. You dont wanna be "that guy"."
Twin Perfect: *slowly backs out of the room
To be fair, he revels in being ”that guy”
@@knasigboll lol I bet. I love Twin Perfect's take on Lynchy things but I also understand that it's just that, his take. Theres no wrong way to appreciate art.
@@hayleyneedham6215 wouldn’t claiming to have the one true way to appreciate art then be the wrong way to do it?
I am absolutely that guy. Or girl, as it were. Haven't watched Twin Perfect, but... This struck me while watching a video from What's So Great About That? on David Lynch and the defamiliarization of language: he is almost definitely working from psychoanalytic theory. The thing with language and the symbolic is very psychoanalytic, AND he's fond of using doubles, whether that be clones, possession, identical cousins, different versions of the same characters in different realities... Which, use of doubles is a technique often used to get into ideas about the split between the real and the symbolic. That would also explain why his work is so abstract: he's not so much about developing plots as he is about exploring the subconscious. ...You know, that may also have to do with why he focuses on the supernatural, magic. Because superstition is the realm of the unconscious; ideas about "bad luck" have sway on us even when we don't logically believe in them. So in that sense, it's real. Cooper relies on his intuition, and... I dunno, I feel like it's getting into this idea that we often pick up on things we're not even consciously aware of. Which kind of reminds me of that one scene in Fargo. You know, the one so many people hate where Marge talks to what's his face, the Japanese guy. People think that scene is pointless, but it absolutely isn't! The point is, she sensed that something was off, but had no logical reason to think so. When it turned out her gut was right, she rethought her earlier suspicions about the murder. Also! Now that I think about it, relying on dreams and coincidence, that's also getting into Jung's ideas of collective unconscious and synchronicity, innit?! Wow, I never thought of that before! ...I dunno, I majored in English; this shit fascinates me.
@@Hakajin wow thanks for mentioning the video, i love that shit too, i'm definitely gonna check it out! i guess trying to explain lynch's plots from a tradicional point of view might sound pretentious, maybe precisely because david doesn't conform tradicional rules in storytelling, so it often comes off as someone trying too hard to piece every piece together, just for the sake of finding out the "truth". and yet, there's plenty to be talked about and somewhat ""explain"" about his works, particularly when it comes to method and and its effects on how the audience might take the story. i'd say the core of his works it's how it highlights the oniric logic (idk what else to call it lol) - the difficult-to-grasp connection between elements that only our own sleeping mind seems to understand as somehow related. which you have pointed out nicely in your comment when focusing on symbolic and abstraction!
It was'nt David Lynch's fault regarding season 2. He never wanted to spoil the mystery behind Laura and the television network hassled him into running things to their premature answers. Despite being genuinely brilliant, once the cat was let outta the bag after the first 7-9 episodes of season 2, Lynch was nowhere to be seen. He left , pissed off at what had happened and it was up to the writers to just come up with filler material around the Dale Cooper stuff. Cooper is always great no matter what he was doing in season 2,but the filler plots around him add and go nowhere. Then, for the final few episodes, things fall together again with the new story-and Lynch returns for the finale to blow your mind.
Rewatching season 2 (especially ep. 7) it really sucks that they couldn’t let Lynch and Frost be. The direction and writing is so perfect, and then they just left it.
"You throw Dale Cooper in there and it's a fucking party." Words to live by! 🥳
I’m so happy the Twin Peaks fandom been growing since it got added to Netflix and most likely it’ll be growing after this video, this show is the definition of my serotonin
I agree, it's a cult show for a reason, and I love that more contemporary viewers can enjoy it now!
It’s so slow and boring
@@SerPapus okay
I tried watching it but the acting was so bad... like Idk. I like shows with really good acting.
@@SerPapus I respect that you at least tried watching it even if it wasn’t really your thing
twin peaks has something so nostalgic about it. every time the theme intro plays i literally feel transported into that time and place. it's such an amazing show, definitely one of my faves of all time
istg i watch this show like every 5 months and never get tired of it
U have a problem
@@SerPapus Nah they don’t
The Laura Palmer theme always gets me
My boyfriend actually got me into Twin Peaks because of how much we both enjoy films and shows that push the envelope of surrealism or just a broad use of creativity. I loved every second but what stuck with me was the aesthetic it provided, a somewhat eerie but also cozy environment. Truth be told we do need to see more content like this to show how subjective art can be.
YES I agree! The eerie but also cozy environment. 💙
gimme reccomendatjons !!!
It's definitely the colour grading, the tightly knit community, the synth laden soundtrack. It all makes you feel very cozy like You're watching it at night before you turn in feeling cozy in your fuzzy sheets.
My dad was/is obsessed with this show and I never knew what it was until I got older. And hearing its...a real show. Like it actually exists and it's not "that weird show my dad loves" is so weird
one of my favourite things about the original twin peaks is the way it wants to show you that every person is interesting, strange and meaningful and you should care about them and feel things when stuff happens to them, to me it can really be a show about empathy, and about not being able to hide from the real horrors that happen in the world and what they do to people. great video, you have a wonderful way with words.
The statement "At one point my Netflix started buffering, and it took me 30 seconds to realize that it wasn't a part of the show" is a whole MOOD
I'm definitely in that "I love it, but I'll watch it for the validation" category.
But I adore hearing people explain what Twin Peaks is to them.
Music is the best analogy on multiple levels.
"Twin Peaks is about, honestly, who the hell knows." Made me bust up laughing lol
Bro you gotta watch The Missing Pieces, Chet Desmond’s fistfight is a top 10 scene
Hands down, one of the BEST Missing Pieces scenes! 👍
I'm a big supporter of the Q2 fan edit that combines this with Fire Walk With Me. It may lessen the emotional impact of FWWM a little bit, but it makes up for that by feeling like a more well-rounded whole, closer in atmosphere to The Return. Plus, it is closer to the original script for the film before it was cut down for run time.
It should have been in the film. You come away understanding Chet, and why his disappearance is such a blow to the Blue Rose Task Force.
You should really read the The Secret History of Twin Peaks and The Final Dossier by Mark Frost. On one hand it feels weird because the books try really hard to connect some of the dots that the show never really touches on, but it almost feels poetic in a sense because the books represent the other side of the coin. On one side you have the surrealism of David Lynch, on the other you have the narrative coherence of Mark Frost, to me it's how different the two of them really are that gives this show and the universe it creates that unparalleled uniqueness
The Secret Diary is also a treasure, written by Lynch's daughter Jennifer Lynch. I believe that it was published between seasons 1 and 2, and does divert from the show a little but overall is great and gives the reader a real sense of Laura outside of the horror of her murder.
Yeah, I really enjoyed both of his books. They definitely aren't "necessary", but they give a bit more context/clues toward the intention of some things. And they include some extra story for characters that don't show up in season 3.
Yep definitely. It's 100% a duo project where they burrow from eachothers strengths that made something this special. Couldn't have it with one and not the other
Wtf I literally started watching twin peaks yesterday? This is either a coincidence or karsten has access to my watch history
JSHAJAJHS
This confirms it: Karsten is officially a clairvoyant! 😂🔮
@@trinaq PLEAAASE
i finished season 1 yesterday lol, good timing
Well, get ready for a wild. Fucking. Ride.
I need more Lynch content, I don’t care if it sounds pretentious
Watch David Lynch films then
Do you like lynch inspired content?
@@hospitalbruteband I kind of meant that I want more Lynch content as in Karsten talking about Lynch.
David post two videos on TH-cam everyday
You should watch Twin Perfects videos on Lynch and Twin Peaks then
Even though Fire Walk With Me is incredibly dark, in my opinion, it ended with a somewhat positive note
I just finished rewatching it! Left me with the feeling you get after you finish a really good book. You miss it so deeply you immediately want to dive right in!
Great way of describing it
Karsten says everything perfectly about everything. He’s funny and he’s serious. Karsten should have a million subs because he deserves it.
Hey bro these burner accounts are getting out of hand
@@billsher1 im sorry what are burner accounts
Agreed. Always blows my mind how few subscribers he has in comparison. I always assume he DOES have a million, then I look and get my mind blown all over again.
@@Liluglyfailure alternate accounts
Nah he dumb. He hates Waves which is a bonafide fucking masterpiece
You should catch up and finish Mr.Robot! I, and its fanbase, wanna hear your thoughts on it since I don't think it gets enough attention
it's the best show it gets nowhere near enough attention
Yes!!
Show ran out of steam after seaspn 1
It is the greatest show ever made
the final season especially
Twin Peaks is honestly my favourite series of all time. There's just this feeling that accompanies the original series that's just so indescribable. It feels like warmth but it's more than that. It makes you uncomfortable at times but you know things will be okay when you get back to the heart of the other characters. Then The Return just throws that away, and there's something so haunting and beautiful about the atmosphere of the show but it feels somewhat empty. It doesn't have the same feeling the original series held, it feels cold and more brutal. The Return is one of David Lynch's best works, and it's a great continuation of the series, but it doesn't feel like the same Twin Peaks, and it works in perfect contrast with the original series.
Twin peaks is one of my favourite shows, the Return is the best season of any show ever!
Breaking Bad season 5: am I a joke to you
@@sonnymcmurphy8185 not even my fav season of BRB
Sopranos season 6 is a contender too
I'm sorry guys, but Succession beats all those! haha Twin Peaks is genius though of course. S1 is a masterpiece, S2 is really great, but a bit too slow and reduntant at times, and S3 has enormous potential and is in itself amazing, but very bloated writing, many tedious scenes and moments, and too messy to be enjoyable and present the story the treatment it deserved...
The amount of trouble I went to to find out what he said at the end, just to experience him insulting people who watches movies on phones was absolutely worth it
Get real!
what did he say?
@@syncops834 "If you're playing the movie on a telephone, you will never in a trillion years experience the film. You'll think you'll have experienced it, but you'll be cheated in such a sadness that you think you've seen a film on your fucking telephone. Get real."
Props to you for deciphering that. I can’t make out that Black Lodge reversed/distorted style of speech for the life of me.
@@madeleinep.828 Haha thanks, I just recorded it on Snapchat and reversed it lol. It's simpler than it seems :)
been waiting for this vid for a while now, and this nails it, Karsten. Twin Peaks is probably my favorite piece of art ever, and you did it justice
14:03 excellent choice of footage to represent love
I think also Karsten, taking your time with Twin Peaks is the best way to enjoy the show. It's a slow burn that really requires your full attention and to just allow yourself to 'feel' it, and also with its presentation I think it's a show much more enjoyable with discussion and really immersing yourself within the world of Twin Peaks, it's best NOT as a binge. Lynch is my personal favorite director, everything that he has created I've found so much joy, horror and creativity that is unmatched. I think you have done an exellent job describing the fact that Lynch's films are an experience that you FEEL instead of trying to 100% understand, and also somethin worth disscusing. Lynch, himself, seems to really value the social/community/realtionship building that comes from viewing art of all types. Thank ya Karsten!
Twin Peaks is the most meta piece of filmmaking ever put to screen.
We had to watch the pilot for my criticizing television class, and I just remember being pretty blown away by it, since I didn't really have any expectations going in. I had heard the hype but never bought into it. What's a bummer is I never finished the show, I think I watched like one or 2 more episodes. This video made me want to go back and finish it, maybe after I finish Bly Manor!
Also while I'm here I want to request you do another video on music, like your Astroworld essay. I really enjoy your takes on different media man, keep it up!
Twin Peaks: The Return is hands down the best series ever made. the others are Too Old to Die Young, The Young Pope, The New Pope, The Knick, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad and The Wire.
Completely agree
@@alexlight4178 Wow, thanks man, we are on the same wavelength for sure.
Season 3 is one of the greatest television experiences ever, it's a refreshed approach to Lynch's overall style and themes. Season 1 and 2 didn't capture me as much as I'd hoped, but 3 is exceptional!
Agree! Season 3 is in a league of its own, not only in the Twin Peaks universe but in all of tv history. One of the best things I have ever seen and well worth watching s1 and s2 just to get the full experience of s3. Lynch is genius
The return had a lot of moments that seem almost hostile to the viewer. Intentionally slow and withholding. But the emotions that develope in those moments of complete boredom pay off so well
But Dougie Jones is an absolute treasure
I wasn’t a fan of dougie although I figured Lynch would withhold cooper. But goddamn, that sliver of Dale Cooper we get at the end. Fucking great.
This has been my favorite tv show for 4 years now, and I'm so glad to see someone finally talk about it in 2020. Thanks Kevin
Also didn’t realize until the second watch that Invitation of Love was foreshadowing the events of the show
Invitation To Love......
I find, as I dig more into Lynch’s work, that it never really seems to be as inexplicable as most people make it out to be. Eraserhead, for example, immediately came off to me as Lynch’s way of confronting his fear of taking responsibility, symbolized in the immense vulnerability of a baby born into a harsh industrial world, and Twin Peaks is the result of how he grounds his intuitively emotional depictions of surreality by couching it in the tropes of soap operas and crime dramas, which is doubly effective now when we can contrast its warm, nostalgic saturation with The Return’s cooler, desaturated palette. Furthermore, the use of electricity and lights to convey a spirit’s presence in a scene reflects how love/good and hate/evil are like energy, in that they cannot be created or transformed, but rather they can only be reshaped or transferred from vessel to vessel, and when we as people struggle to entrust with our true feelings, we exert that energy by turning away instead of dealing with it, putting it towards silent drape runners, hard drugs, or even a curious obsession with Marlon Brando. And lastly, I think Fire Walk With Me being a prequel was a terrific move, because all we really see of Laura in the first run of the show is that picture of her, that single angle of her best traits that all the characters cling to, because facing her darker side is far too overwhelming; thus, Lynch thrusts us directly into her horrifying position, reminding us that no one picture can truly capture a person.
TL;DR: Karsten is right, Twin Peaks rules, I like coffee.
i’m glad you mentioned the relationship with soap operas and crime dramas, as i feel that’s a key piece people don’t bring up super often. the amalgamation of genres Lynch puts together to create something truly human is fascinating, from soap opera to courtroom drama to slapstick comedy to psychological horror
2 things: The Return is the single greatest season of TV, and Mark Frost is responsible for at least 50% of Twin Peaks :)
Return sucks
@@vili1234 why?
@@shilliojr its just too weird and depressing it just dont have any good and warm moment like the original
I really want to like the return, but it just isn't for me.
I absolutely loved the first 2 seasons, all of them (haven't even noticed the "bad" half of season 2 until people pointed it out). Season 3 though... On my first try, I gave up after three episodes. I tried again a year later, made it to around episode 12 (I think), but couldn't go any further.
It feels so tedious to watch, all the charm of the original is gone and replaced with five-minute-long shots of people walking or sitting in silence. I mean even the music is gone...
I don't know, maybe I am just the wrong person for season 3. Maybe it's because I haven't watched Fire Walk With Me (I didn't know about it), maybe it clears it up. Still, I am not saying it's objectively bad, just that to me it felt like I wasted hours of my life with absolutely no payoff.
@@sebastianoleksa it's defo not for everyone aha. I wrote a huge comment replying to the guy who said it sucks but it seems to be deleted :/
This show will always be remembered by me for the song *Hook Rug Dance* in season 2. Such an incredible little number with so much emotion.
you should make an "i watched every david lynch movie" video. it is amazing to realize the patterns with which lynch works throughout his films (nice video btw! very smart analysis)
I am 46, grad. high school 1992. I am watching Twin Peaks for the first time. I have seen most of Lynch's feature length films. I'm six episodes in and I think it's the best thing Lynch has done. Mulholland Drive is pretty rich.
Season 3 is the best thing I’ve ever experienced period
I’ve been waiting for this since your what I watched in September video! I finished Twin peaks for the second time this past August and I fell right back in love! SUCH a trippy, captivating, and so-worth-the-hype type of show 🙌🏻
this is like the best explanation of twin peaks ive ever seen, i always find it hard to explain why its my favorite show but somehow you did? nice job
"I think talking about David Lynch would entail trying to explain David Lynch, and I wanted to avoid being THAT guy at all costs:" ... I can't be the only one who immediately remembered the 4+ hour Twin Peaks Explained video :D
An absolutely incredible show that touches upon every part of the human experience. No other show that I know of has humor, romance, goofiness, anxiety, beauty, sadness, and pure horror/dread.
Thanks for this video. Well done!
I remember watching Twin Peaks for the first time. As the show progressed, I felt this urge to enjoy coffee & donuts every time I watched it.
The Return is beautiful. I was kind of missing special agent Dale Cooper a lot & hoped that he comes back. I remember screaming like some sports fan when Dale finally came back. What an amazing moment! Also, the ending was something that made me feel uneasy for a long time. No other piece of art has done that.
No too long ago I watched it all again. It is consuming. I went out on the balcony and the wind was blowing just right through the tall pines and my windchime played several bars from the theme song. You know it has become part of your psyche at this point. Thank You for this video it is fun to find someone else so impressed with this.
Twin Peaks is my favorite piece of art ever created. Movie, music, tv show, book, painting, etc it doesn’t matter. Twin Peaks is tops.
Truly a masterpiece. Literally changed the television landscape forever.
my favorite show of all time, i rewatch it every fall, it’s so cozy and nostalgic
I remember being so confused by everything that happened, so I put it off for a while, but I always found myself drawn back to it for weeks until I actually sat down and binge watched all of it (this was around 2017 when The Return premiered and TR is a whole nother enigma) Fire Walk With Me will always be one of Lynch's most disturbing & depressing films, it adds more context to the reaction of Laura's death. Makes it all the more tragic.
Thank you Karsten. What a great summary of the Twin Peaks experience and the David Lynch Philosophy.
Another great video! You keep inspiring people like me to create their own video essays! I’ll definitely have to check out Twin Peaks as well!
Have you seen any other of his work?
@@justjalaal1038 I have seen What Did Jack Do? and enjoyed it, but haven’t seen any of his other work. Which Lynch should I start with?
@@blake.mp4 I would start with elephant man, blue velvet, or this tv show
I was literally waiting for the premiere of this since he teased it in the month video
I remember watching it for the first time in High School while making Halloween costumes with my friends! I also wrote a paper for my senior English class on Fire Walk With Me. I think it genuinely expanded my taste and how I watch tv and films.
I’m so glad you could put what I felt about this show into words in a way I couldn’t figure out how. Well put ☕️🥧
I had to watch this show in a writing class in college, great show.
Part 8 of season 3 will always be one of my favorite TV episodes of all time
I love this series, thanks for recommending it for others!
Emotion is the key for me as well. I've gotten so tired over the years of plots within plots, that needed to be explained throughout every episode of certain shows. Twin Peaks always had a place outside of that.
Please watch Dark on Netflix! It too deals with similar complicated topics. Such a detailed, genius show. I would love to hear your analysis!
Dark is Twin Peaks but nihilistic
@@mr.froglegs indeed, more philosophical and makes you catch your breath and question your existence a bit. but that is why I loved Dark, it gave me an excuse to look into more Nietzsche
I've seen it pop up a few times when I was browsing, but your comment just convinced me to check it out!
@@ninja_tony i am glad i did ! i think you will love it, one of the best shows i have ever seen. also one of the best soundtracks!
Dark is my all-time favorite show with Twin Peaks being my 2nd favorite
I finally watched Twin Peaks over the summer and found myself really enjoying it.
The jarbled recording during the credits... nailed it! I hear that speak in my head all the time...
There is something unbelievably enchanting about Twin Peaks. Lynch has got such a knack for making moments play out like real dreams and nightmares, and I don't think I've ever gone too long without thinking about Twin Peaks since I watched it for my first time.
YES I just watched it for the first time this year myself and it skyrocketed to my new favorite show. So glad you enjoyed it!
Same 💖
I've only watched 2 episodes, and I'm in love with Twin Peaks.
Lucky you 💖
I recently took Creative Writing course and now I have realised why Lynch's work is so good and we keep thinking about it. One of the reasons for sure are so called "blank spaces", not sure what is the term in English. But the best writing is the one when you give only a hint to your reader and leave many things out so he/she could imagine the rest in their head.
I love seeing content being created about twin peaks and this is probably, by far, the best video I’ve listened to.
I was watching twin peaks when you made the euphoria episode and now this week I’ve been watching euphoria. Both are great shows. Twin peaks is now probably my favourite show ever.
I started watching it a few weeks ago and I'm loving it so far. Bob keeps scaring the shit out of me though
The scene I saw tonight triggered my fight/flight, AH!!! Completely menacing!!
I rewatched this series for the first time since the early 00s and it still hold up so well. It is somehow a time capsule and timeless at the same time.
This video perfectly encapsulates how I felt watching the show. I watched this video when it first came out finally got around to watching it loved it and I’m watching it again. It’s almost scary how Karsten was able to look into my soul
when i tell you i SCREECHED when i saw you posted this....thank you karsten king
Always Get a warm feeling when I see a notification from Karsten
lmaooo love how you included the clip of david getting pissed when was told to reduce the length of the scene
this is one of the best twin peaks videos i’ve ever seen man. i haven’t come across a spoiler free video that goes beyond the “jokey” side of twin peaks. but if i never saw the show, this would definitely convince me to watch it.
I think I’ve watched like 3 episodes of it years ago and it wasn’t my thing. I definitely need to revisit, I feel like I will get it a lot more now
Do try rewatch it! I did the same thing years ago, never got past the second episode, but I rewatched it all earlier this year and I’m actually glad I waited until I appreciated it.
I'm glad Twin Peaks still gets love from new people. I could imagine it disappointing people because almost every serial drama since wants to *be* Twin Peaks to some extent.
I love the mystery in the show cause it represents how we never truly understand everything in life. Life is full of mystery and there are so many things in life we'll never understand.
This is such a perfect articulation of what makes Twin Peaks great
Twin Peaks is the most compelling and beautiful "universe" in pop culture. Thank you for this.
I finished the first episode of this not to long before this video came out. That's good timing
i love this so much. i adore twin peaks and none of my friends watch it so i've just suffered in silence but you hit the nail on the damn head
love seeing the dale cooper appreciation! he’s one of my favourite protagonists in anything.
