I didn't know the future Disney CEO was the guy that ruined Twin Peaks. This makes sense now....
I agree with him though. It would've been worse without revealing Leyland. That was a great scene and didn't take anything away from the series.
Lynch is mad due to the power struggle which is understandable. Not because of that decision.
@@LegendLength you are objectively wrong about this.
@legatejakius538622:3₩ disturbing mysteries are always lurking in plain sight
I just want to time travel and give Lynch and Frost all of the budgeting they could possibly want so we could have had the true version of Twin Peaks, completely free from exec influence.
@@LegendLength At the very least, surely you can agree that it should have happened at the end of the season.
So Bob Iger was already an idiot before destroying Disney.
11:04 saying twin peaks has no one to root for is insane when Cooper is genuinely one of the sweetest most delightful characters ever conceived????
Even though I'm just now getting into the show, I have to agree. Cooper is such a dear
It might be out of print, but there's the Autobiography of Dale Cooper. More and deeper into his delightful self.
Favorite book. And the ebook in on Amazon Kindle. @@Ninnybroth
@Ninnybroth Out of print and pretty difficult to find, but mire than worth a read for sure! It even gives you a glimpse of the start of Fire Walk With Me but with Cooper as the agent. I believe Kyle wanted a smaller role in the movie, so Lynch rewrote the beginning.
@@tyewilson9478 You know there's a "Secret Diary of Laura Palmer" too, right? Also def worth the read!
Glad you identify Bob Iger as the real BOB and villain here.
Laura Palmer murder was never meant to be solved and that idiot along with board ruined the original run of TV show. I'm still mad about it and what could've been not having to wait all these later. We still got the incredible classic Mulholland Drive though, which was originally a new TV show pilot with same Twin Peaks feel that was turned into a movie :-)
@@SamM_Scot Lynch almost certainly wouldve never had the impetus to even think up Mulholland Drive if not for his negative experiences making Dune and Twin Peaks
Typical short-sighted risk-averse media executive who interferes too much with artistic decisions.
Keep forgetting that Josie is still stuck in a wooden door knob😂
Lölz.. Knob..
I watched the whole return thinking she somehow would come back lmao
@Faby07aleixo she's there if you pay close enough attention
@@tyewilson9478 I honestly need to rewatch it
Lynch was really going somewhere with this concept. I wish it had been given the time to unfold as originally envisioned.
The Return is one of my favorite seasons of any show ever. It's a perfect conclusion
If you never played Alan Wake, I strongly recommend it. Especially Alan Wake 2, that series has STRONG Twin Peaks influences.
yea, ive been thinking is twin peaks an Altered World Event or like a threshold too
Thanks for the suggestion! Need more twin peaks things in my life
100%
Yes definitely, Alan Wake lead me to Twin Peaks and David Lynch.
After finishing Alan Wake 2 I binged the WHOLE of Twin Peaks for the first time, and it’s so beautiful to see all of the Lynch-isms that Sam Lake injected into his world. I have absolutely loved this experience!
when Twin peaks came back in 2017, my friend and I watched it weekly, then as soon as possible, got the bluray and watched it all again from season 1.
Who is the trans person
@@omalone1169 David Duchovny plays DEA Agent Dennis, Denise Bryson.
For all you youngsters out there. It was a time before the internet, in the uk we had 4 tv channels unless you had a "new" sky bcb satellite dish.
This TV series was an epic work of art that was watched due to word of mouth alone. It invented its own genre.
Need some coffee and cherry pie after watching this
Always a good combo. Highly recommend it.
the eucharistic bread to the Twin Peaks religion, if I'm not mistaken.
The brutal critique of American society in The Return (selling one's own BLOOD just to survive) was a bold and welcome choice by the creators.
Not to mention the critique of us Twin Peaks fans. We didn't *need* more Twin Peaks. We *wanted* it. *Want*.
I think any other reboot would have started with the penultimate episode. Instead we get the journey there; the return. It made the first time through a little frustrating but I think it makes for good rewatching and keeps it from just being a rehash.
Bob also represents the team of showrunners behind the camera. Also the audience, " the machine" that financialy depends on selling murder and violence for profit. The whole " we killed Laura" thing. Very cool. Meta story telling.
Yep, if you really think about it, twin peaks is about how we like to see people being murdered and abused on the TV for our own satisfaction, and we watch it so much we end up don't realizing how badly it makes us trivialize a dn excuse those subjects, even in real life.
So the guy who helped destroy Twin Peaks is also working to ruin Disney now too? Damn, what a track record.
Man, this really makes me want to watch Twin Peaks
do it do it do it
Ummmmm so watch it what TF 🙄😂
Yes it's awesome u should
It blows my mind how lionized Bob Iger is in media nowadays when his approach to it is so absolutely anti-art.
At the end of the day the business people will succeed in the business. I’d be skeptical of anyone considered an artist who occupies a corporate role. They are not artists they are money pawns
As others have said, this deserves WAY more views. What a perfect summary. The way you’ve articulated everything so eloquently has honored Lynch’s masterpiece.
to clarify though, the show isn't "Lynch’s masterpiece", because that continues to push an incorrect narrative. it was a TV show, with much more people involved than David Lynch. heck, considering the idea of Laura was inspired by a story his grandmother told him, Mark Frost is arguably more important to the show's existence as a story. Lynch is of course a large presence, he helped to create it, and all of The Return is just him and Frost, and his idiosyncratic style present in Blue Velvet (the best example of it when the show debuted) was very clearly something the writers wanted to replicate. however, out of the 48 total episodes of the show (all seasons combined), Lynch only has writing credits on 22 of them, only 4 of which are the original show. most of the original show was Frost, Harley Peyton and Robert Engels, the latter of which co-wrote FWWM.
still crushing on Peggy Lipton and Madgen Amick, they're both so dang beautiful in this
Probably the best analysis under 30 minutes. Damn fine video.
Corn pom flicks has the best videos on twin peaks you will thank me later
This is the best video you've ever made.
Thanks so much, man! That's incredibly high praise. I've always had a special place in my heart for Twin Peaks so it's awesome to finally take the time and talk about it!
I''ll never forget how Twin Peaks season 3 was actually the Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated series. Totally unexpected but pretty good!
I wonder if a main stream show like this could even get made today and I’m even talking about how bizarre or weird the show is. The way so much of this show was really just a slice of life story about the townspeople of Twin Peaks doesn’t seem like something that could get made today. It’d get classified as “filler” and be filtered out. It’s really unfortunate because the slice of life stuff is a big part of what makes this show so special and different from other shows
great underrated video. really appreciate shining light onto everyone who made this show so great, whereas many others simply talk about David Lynch only, when just like any good TV series the show's genius comes from a highly talented team.
Fire walk with me is amazing
pyr a mid - a fire in the middle
Excellent review David Lynch is one of the most creative minds in cinema and twin peaks along with blue velvet Eraserhead and muholand Dr are his masterworks
Fire walk with my is a great movie. The Return was great too. Great video!
David lynch really crafted a masterpiece with season 3. I truly hope showtime will get a clue & sign up for a fourth season. The season finale though great, felt like it was just getting started.
Thank you for a really lovely essay!
Twin peaks walked with me in my younger years
The song starting at 11:50, which sounds like a remix/interpolation of Into the Night by Julee Cruise, is a huge banger
Awesome video man. Great explanation. Watched fire walk with me for the first time the other day only because I was going through watch David linch movies. Had no idea about the series. Plan to watch the early series and the return.
Also, what’s the first song? Sounds like a remix of the theme song of twin peaks
This deserves a lot more views.
I adore everything about David Lynch and your thumbnail is so awesome,! Is there any way I can find a high quality version?
Great video. Thank you.
Great video :)
Brilliant commentary of a masterpiece.
Fascinating video!
Damn fine cup of coffee
This video deserves millions of views.
Greatest TV show ever made in my opinion that had a major part on how I viewed and listened to media. Although I loved The Return I do prefer the ground-breaking original 90s run with its flaws in some of the second season along with the devastatingly dark classic movie Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me :-)
GREAT SHOWS! The best ever made.
I watched a few of these as a kid but never really understood what was going on. Now I live in WA state and am feeling inspired to go check the series out again. Thanks!
Glad you liked the video, and even gladder that you're planning to revisit the show! I think Twin Peaks is weird as heck but also really special. For my money, there's nothing out there quite like it.
Who can really say there's no one to root for in Twin peaks?
Did anybody ever watch northern exposure not the same but it was also a show in a town with interesting people
Completely excellent!
"you fuk us once, shame on us. You fuk us twice, shame on you"
Twin Peaks season 3 is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. It doesn't always work flawlessly perhaps, but I cannot recall anything quite as inventive and occult as this. And even the trajectories that initially you wonder if this is a good decision, they start to work over time.
Juggling this many characters, and keeping almost every scene either funny or riveting...
the ability to make you laugh and then bring back high levels of menace in back to back scenes, and it works somehow, when really it shouldn't.
It feels like I'm watching a show that shouldn't work, and yet it's a masterpiece about good and evil, choice, and echoing destiny.
I love this!!!!!
I absolutely loved the original series. Season one is perfect.
And season two is severely underrated.
Up until episode 16 is as perfect as season one. Sure up until episode 23 is not as good it was nice to see more of the great characters.
The plot with windom Earle is great and I adore cooper and Annie’s story.
And that finale is just amazing.
I have seen the return but I had mixed feelings on it.
This is incredible
David Lynch is on the autism spectrum, and Dale Cooper has been called the greatest autistic character on television. Although that also applies to Gil Grissom of CSI. Lynch said that Blue Velvet was based on his time in Spokane. Although, he lived his formative years in Boise, Idaho and I see a lot of that reflected there as I grew up in Boise.
That was great..thanx
I feel like Mark Frost doesn’t get enough love.
I get that, I think a lot of that comes from Lynch being the big name on the movie and beyond, but I really like Frost’s writing. He’s got such a great voice for hard-boiled cloak-and-dagger stuff
I tried to watch the original series years ago. 2,756 years later...I have absolutely no idea what the hell I watched
I see twin peaks, I click and like 😍😍😍
It is imprinted in our dna, and we are always in love with it all over again. It is such a strange and beautiful mystery ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm a rookie mangaka my greatest influence as a storyteller is Atsushi Okubo he makes a lot references to this show and uses the batshit crazy surrealism of the show as one of the reoccurring themes across his multiple series not to mention the Persona video game series I'm quite addicted to visually references it a ton
*My log saw it.*
Is this same Bob Iger who’s fucking up Disney?
The best show ever on TV!
Psyche did a great spoof episode of Twin Peaks
nice job
Thanks! This has been one of my faves for a long time, and it was awesome finally getting to talk about it.
Just about to finish the original series for the first time, its been a great show but boy did season 2 go off the rails. Couldn't figure why it went so wrong so quickly, but behold, it was Bob Igor, what an asshole. Thanks for the video.
Tbh I think it could've been okay to reveal the killer *IF* there had been a solid plan in place as to what the next move was going to be...not doing it just to do it then hoping for the best.
When season 2 does gain its footing again, I think it's fantastic. The lull that's in between has everything to do with Lynch mostly walking away and seemingly no one left behind having much clue where they were headed with the narrative as a whole.
Excellent
Love this show
I Love this series.
Gravity falls but for 90s kids
Loved Twin Peaks - great television!
God damn, i realize I forgot everything. It's like if i never understand half of it.
The real magic of a show like this is that I don't think there's ever one true way of understanding it. There's always a new angle I keep picking up whenever I come back, and I find that really special.
I loved all of Roald Dahl books as a kid, even his short stories for adults! (Which I was definitely too young to be reading) Absolutely adored the old Willy Wonka movie too!
Where can I find this remix of Into the Night, please?
The track is by an artist called "Amplitute Problem" I discovered on Bandcamp. There are actually multiple albums of Twin Peaks remixes you can buy there, either track by track or all at once!
As of 24:14 pretty good so far. This was one of the most unusual shows ever on TV, but I don't get any sense of how it changed Television in the years since. Also, I don't think the police procedure aspect is the point. I feel that agent Cooper represents the audience, but his FBI authority allows him, and David Lynch to peel back onion concealing the mysteries of Twin Peaks.
One of the ways TP changed TV: Maddie's attack was the first time any woman on TV had been shown getting hit in the face by a man. Nobody had ever seen such a brutal and realistic assault on a show. It was shocking for audiences back then. Now it's done all the time so we forget how this was a first. Most TV murders of women cut away, or somehow sensualized the violence, faded out or obscured the camera angle, skipped the blood, over-dramatized the noises or motions, or otherwise only alluded to the violence. I remember everyone in the room went dead-silent when Maddie was attacked and no one spoke for a few minutes after the episode ended.
As of 17:27 if Season 1 got all of that unexpected recognition then maybe the series really did impact Television and/or American culture. Maybe it showed studio execs that audiences could appreciate programming far more sophisticated than sitcoms.
Love me some twin peaks.
HELL yeah, love to see it
represent the third season of Twin Peaks with the two doubles Agent Cooper, Daggie and the bad Cooper who has taken over Cooper's body not the mind which remains still and stuck in a dream, if we remember correctly Cooper becomes Daggie and remains in that family recovering positive energy and recovering the strength to fight with the bad Bob, many characters help, in the end the good wins, I don't think Agent Cooper died second he woke up, unfolding the future and taking Laura into another dimension, time leap, in fact we also find the waitress who worked with Carrie Page in the future... the photo of Laura dying disappears, so Cooper saves Laura but takes her to another place and year... Laura forgets her old life, even if then with the mother's voice remembers everything and perceives the evil that still exists, Cooper only then realizes that he has not managed to eliminate the evil entity, and Carrie's cry is just so strong, she remembers, she feels the evil.. Said this would require another series of twin peaks where this time leap is resolved and we see both Cooper and Daggie, the two worlds, understand if Laura's mother is the one to be eliminated... there are still things to resolve, dreams and reality. we want the fourth season
Fire walk with Me.
As 1:07 it was 1990 not 1989, but I'm liking the narration so far.....
btw, your text at opening has a significant typo…. the quote is “one CHANCE” out between two worlds.” not CHANTS. it’s s important, the “one chance out” is essential to the story
I'm still not sure what to think of the Return. I found it much more difficult to digest than the original.
It's definitely got its moments and an overall appeal, I just wish there was a way I could get a tighter edit of it
I liked this video, yes, nice.
Twin Peaks is my favorite forever. The music 80's synth like is awesome
The "sequel" series was under appreciated imho
Blue Velvet is another classic
I love twin peaks but when scooby doo mystery incorporated did it it just made it more depressing. I don't like my scooby doo bumming me out so much that i can't even finish the series
Twin Peaks is a TV Show.
Yeaaaah
Let's get this video to a lot of views in the first hour so that it gets love from youtube
Algorithm bless this video which i liked even before watching it because it's that good
Seriously, sometimes i end up pissed off because i can't like it again after watching it, fix that youtube
Lots of words lots of engagement, yadda yadda
Thanks as always! Every bit of support helps me reach more people.
David 'what the hell?'
Wow. I can't believe Bob Iger keeps destroying everything until now.
Iger ruined Twin Peaks, now he’s doing the same to Disney.
👍🏻👍🏻
That show could've been so good, but it went too far away from the main plot line into the stories of the people of the town, which wasn't executed nearly as well. The episodes with Bob are brilliant and watchable over and over again. It's a shame what could've been...
My abusive ex boyfriend used to be obsessed with this show. He used to beat me, assault me, then sit down and watch Twin Peaks and force me to listen to his bizarre theories and summaries of the series.
I'm going back to watch on my own. This time I may even like it.
Im so sorry this happened to you...
Damn
I am sorry to hear about it. Sending you some good energy.
Trying to understand the show could be frustrating but Damn !!!
You deserve better who ever you are, and you have a great show ahead of you, that I envy you.
Fire walk with me
It's a well done video, but I think it has too much of a story summary - both for someone who had already watched it, and for someone who didn't
Great video bro! I am dropping an hour long video essay on Twin Peaks on my channel on Saturday, the 24th! #headlesshorde
This is embarrassing, but if you happen on this comment, it might save _you_ some self-embarrassment, so here goes: I had watched a few Lynch movies and enjoyed them, but for me he was a name and a few bits of writing. I had never watched an interview or anything like that. Also, I kept away from all Twin Peak yt videos until I was done with the entire thing, meaning S1, S2, FWwM, and S3. And then I started watching the videos.
Anyway, Gordon Cole, He's Lynch. The half-deaf agent dude. He's played by David Lynch. I went through the entirety of Twin Peaks without knowing that. lol
Bob Iger - franchise killer.
Learned nothing spoiling Twin Peaks, so spoiled Star Wars too. Goof off failed upwards.
One CHANCE out.
I know some places it’s recorded as chance, but the original poem lunch wrote has it as “chants.” Honestly I think both end up working pretty well, though.
@@ForEveryKindofGeek Al Strobel himself confirmed chance
GMAN!
Hey Look, Bob Iger killed Twin Peaks before Disney Star Wars and Marvel!!
Fire Walk With Me is a masterpiece. normie.
Yeah. True fans loved that film from the get-go.
The glaring typo at the beginning "chants" really took me out of it. What a blunder lol. Otherwise, not bad.
Not a typo, I just went off of the original wording in the poem that Lynch wrote, which lists it as “chants.” I’m aware that Al Strobel uses “chance,” but I liked the original wording better.
