Damn Fine TV/Film
"Learn Lynch" is a new series here on 25YL where one of our writers watches a David Lynch film for the first time and reviews it. Do you remember what it was like to watch these films for the first time? All of the thoughts and feelings? Or if this is your first time watching …
This is it. The final hour of the series that we have waited over 25 years to conclude. BOB has been vanquished. Agent Cooper is back and ready to rumble. Even Laura Palmer is back because as Billy Joel sang, 'only the good die young'. Would the end of our epic journey best the slightly …

Welcome to my very late (but still insanely relevant) review of the Twin Peaks finale! Previously on Twin Peaks: Agent Cooper raced to the Pacific Northwest as his doppelgänger did the same. Audrey Horne was freaking out in a white room. Ed and Norma were probably making sweet, sweet love on top of a rickety …

We are nearing the end of our journey, friends! This summer love will soon, sadly, be coming to an end. This week, the story moves along at a shockingly brisk pace. Even more surprisingly, gone is the jumping around between locales. We spend most of our time in the good old Pacific Northwest. That means …

There was a little something for everyone on this week's Twin Peaks! Attempted murder, actual murder, romance, restaurant-related intrigue, arm wrestling, and we all heard a song that we never thought we'd hear again in a million years. Can you believe that there are just a handful of episodes left? Our story inches ever so …

What a strange detour into absurdist madness we took with this week's episode! Some of the main story threads took a breather and instead we were handed a variety of engrossing tangential stories that may or may not have impact on the overall storyline. But Audrey's back! Or is she? It's one of the most …

The best show on television delivered again this week with one of its funniest and brilliant episodes yet! As usual, some storylines were completely ignored (what has Bad Cooper been up to since leaving the farm?) while others story threads were resurrected (we finally get to see Sheriff Truman and Hawk move their investigation forward …
Continue reading "There’s Fire Where You Are Going: Episode 11 Review"
There was much ado about everything on this week's episode! The long, drawn-out scenes of the past were replaced by action going on all over -- we cut from Las Vegas to Twin Peaks to the FBI. A few seconds of Jerry Horne then a few more of Dougie then BAM! Back in Vegas and …
