Lots of love in this ep ♥️ We’ve come a long way since Hurricane Smith.

"We had the best of Roy Orbison...If I wanted to, I could sing all of Blue Velvet." 🤣

Krumholtz came across like such a piece of shit in his WTF interview that it made me no longer a fan

John McClane

Stop it action Boys I’m not looking at you!

Perla X. Caballero

I live a 45 minute away from the Twin Peaks Diner. They have it right on the front of menu

Bring me the Head of Warren Oates

XL Bully dogs just got banned in Ireland because a local woman was mauled to death by the ones she owned

Dirk Dribbler

Just the mention of Twin Peaks makes me want to stop at the nearest diner for a slice of pie and a damn fine cup of coffee

Tell em stang!

Ryan Stanger

They do beer too and are probably more famous for it. Thanks for your comment- love the use of the ellipsis!

Schlitz Malt Liqour...not beer

It’s kinda crazy how things change, I have the Twin Peaks VHS box set Rodgers was talking about and I got it for like 8 bucks off of eBay years ago. I’m glad I have it now but I initially only bought it that way because I wanted to watch the first season and the DVDs were out of print and insanely expensive.

Perla X. Caballero

The Knowledge Fight Podcast episode on this interview is perfect.

Will See

Hell yeah

RE: angry dad sayings, last year at our farm I almost Jack knifed our trailer, to which my dad screamed "IT'S NOT A FUCKING PIECE OF PUSSY!" I still get a laugh out of that one. 🤣

Bluvbot

My ears perked up at “when we start covering classic movies.”

Perla X. Caballero

In a way I do. For work functions, I just say that I don't participate in many events due to my upbringing.

Joe B

Be honest. Have you ever used being ex-jw as a strategy to dodge some awful holiday work function or anything like that? I would.

Perla X. Caballero

I was raised Jehovah's Witness, I didn't celebrate any holiday nor my Birthday until I was 17. Now I celebrate them all. Spent a lot of time in the library or in the hallway not participating in School Holiday events.

Mirroring relationship kinda reminds me of how in Unscripted Redstone’s sugar baby had her own sugar baby

YOURE CRAZY

AFistfulofGwildors

The Henry Rollins show was called Harmony in my Head, and I used to love listening to that one. Really expanded my tastes in early punk and other genres.

Nathan Rodriguez

The dog in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure was Speck.

Jeff Wanless

I hate it when people tell these kinds of stories about meeting famous people, but I feel like this is the appropriate venue: in the early to mid 2000s I was a peon at a design/designer hardware place in hollywood : we mostly sold fancy kitchen hardware to movies and TV shows and weird interior designer people with no last names. Anyhoo lss KMc must've been redoing his house or something and I used to get these insanely long rambling messages from him about door hardware a la the way Cooper spoke to Diane via the tape recorder in twin peaks.

Jeff Wanless

I feel Like he did the curch lady as well in that episode 😂

Richard Trickle

I remember finishing book The Waste Lands and eagerly awaiting the next in the series. 7 years later it came and to finally meet lovely Susan in the window was pretty intense. That was also around the time I realized all roads truly lead to the tower. I am the Cuthbert of my friend group.

Alex Jones interviewed David Lynch. https://archive.org/details/AlexJonesInterviewsDavidLynch

Douglas Hahner

Now I want to hear the Boyz cover Lost Highway, to get into the Robert Loggia of it all. How he was pissed at Lynch for casting Hopper as Frank Booth instead of him, and Lynch remembering Loggia's diatribe and putting into the Lost Highway script for Loggia to act out.

JStone

This may be too late for what is already recorded, but apparently using a dog training clicker as a bookend for audio recording takes can simplify editing due to the signature it leaves

Dan Skisak

Also Frank Booth and his breathing is referenced on Double Threat like every other week haha.

Dan Skisak

Saving my rewatch for next week at the theatre. Once a month this drag performer hosts a "Rated Q" night and has a drag show themed around the movie before the screening. Usually a movie with gay vibes or appreciation. This month is Blue Velvet.

Ash C

I only got into Lynch a few years back and Blue Velvet's been my favourite of his so glad it's being covered. Inland Empire's where I tapped out, getting 90 minutes in over a couple of sittings and now it kinda taunts me in the continue watching section every time I log into Criterion.

David Bauer

Does anyone remember the episode of SNL hosted by Dennis Hopper around the time this movie came out? He played Frank Booth in a fake game show sketch called "What's That Smell?". There was also a sketch where he hosted a party for his buddies to meet a bunch of blow up sex dolls, and they all had the hots for the one doll that he claimed as his own.

Haunted Screen

Rodgers dropping Ginsberg/Howl at 1’ 55” right on the heels of Stanger waxing poetic about Kyle’s buns is the ABZ culture rollercoaster we’ve signed up to

B. Traven

Please bring back the David Lynch impression/character in future eps. Please.

mumbles march

Google Roy Orbison junior + below deck…. You’re welcome

Jon Smith

Smooth Talk is great, it’s still on Criterion I think. Maclachlan has always been in great shape like that Harrison Ford ultra natural toned look but I didn’t notice until The Return where he’s shirtless in a scene showing off his bod and he’s got more muscle definition pushing 60 as he did back in the OG Twin Peaks, grandpa Kyle got them D’Angelo cum gutters

Dark Angel Of The Year

Holy shit, Radio Garden is awesome. Thanks so much for the rec!

David

Don’t skip Wind through the Keyhole. A really fun intermission after Wizard & the Glass.

Perla X. Caballero

Room To Dream by David Lynch is a great audiobook. It is one chapter written by a traditional Reporter and the next is Lynch reacting to her research. Great stories about how he created the character of Frank Booth. Some of the chapters have been released with Criterion Collection of Blue Velvet and Lost Highway. Last summer SiFF had a David Lynch Film Festival “Dreams and Nightmares” and I saw all of his films.

william o'connor

These are fun reads! I wish that he wrote a few more.

Dan Soltys

Rodgers holy shit you’re a genius: I was. raptured. to your hardware store by that read. If I had 5 minutes of that guy to listen to on repeat I’d lose my job.

Shamus H

Love these long island food critics. Which one of these meat sweats is Gabrus?

Ghost Story is such a good audiobook. The reading by Buck Schirner is one of the best I’ve heard.

Devon Gravert

Yeah I totally get his point and agree but to the average viewer who hasn't huffed glue half their life I think this movie would objectively be classified as weird

ohwhen

The Neil Young biography "Shakey" talks a little bit about Human Highway, the movie Neil Young and Dean Stockwell directed together. The set was a mess and a lot of them were using drugs and drinking heavily at the time. It's not a good movie but extremely interesting to watch (worth watching at least Neil Young and Devo perform Hey Hey, My My together on YouTube). Sally Kirkland severed a tendon on a knife that Dennis Hopper was using. She sued Hopper and Young over it and lost (she was asked under oath what the movie was about and responded "I have no idea"). Hopper said, callously, "She said I consumed an ounce of amyl nitrate, a pound of marijuana, and drank three quarts of tequila. That was not true. I only did half that amount."

Also i hate to make multiple comments but there is a great app called Radio Garden where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. It connects to the webstream of stations & it’s legitimately so cool to hear what is happening in remote places or in big cities. I use it to listen to stations before i travel so i can try to get the vibe (This comment is for anyone that wants to listen to those LA stations Rodgers mentions)

colton Naffziger

I can't wait for the boys new podcast "go off king" all about Stephen King

Laughing so hard that my stomach hurts from all the hardware store/dad project stuff

Pod Ween Satan

Stanger you should hit up The Baked Potato in Studio City. Tiny little place. In order to watch the show you are obligated to buy a highly mediocre dinner entree sized baked potato. Kinda like how the original Largo was setup. Best live music in town.

Alec Ogg

Sparky the Jack Russell Terrier was David Lynch’s personal pet

Rebe K

lol just a little longer the this one. He basically said the crash wasn’t Landis’ fault and sang his praises.

CokeHawk

There’s an homage to Lynch in Dune 2 I just noticed on my second viewing. Ants crawling on the ear of a dead Harkonnen soldier. Definitely had a DiCaprio meme moment after having just watched Blue Velvet.

Kyle

and yet you sabotage...

Data Janitor

MacLachlan's glutes are 100% from chicken walking.

Liz Arcury

I went deep on the full Dark Tower series a few years ago, loved it and yes was absolutely obsessed with Oy🥹 I completely support taking a break mid-series, everything will come flooding back to you once you pick it back up

Nathan Rodriguez

Man, David Lynch films are a tough assignment. I know these films are revered, but the pacing is glacial and that makes his films excruciating at times. I probably saw this movie around 30 years ago and never had a desire to rewatch it until now. Glad it’s free on Tubi, the commercial breaks were a welcome break.

Pod Ween Satan

Apologies in advance for being an “Actually” guy but…actually the radio show that did the David Lynch weather report was on a show hosted by Joe Escalante (drummer from The Vandals) on a now defunct station 103.1. It was an incredible radio station and the last truly great one in Los Angeles. They had a show hosted by Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols (Jonesy’s Jukebox) and one by Henrry Rollins. There was also an unfortunate nightly indie rock show hosted by legendary funnyman/rapist Danny Masterson. Other than that it was a total blast. One day I woke up and it had unceremoniously transformed into an all ranchero music station. RIP. Every morning at 7am David Lynch would call in and give a weather report of how it was in his backyard. Almost every day it was the same (thick marine layer rolling in, a brisk 66 degrees, etc). After giving his traditionally dry and banal report Joe would try to ask him a question about his movies and Lynch would aggressively hang up. That bit never got old. It was the highlight of our collective morning commute. I miss it every day. It’s entirely possible that they brought it back on Morning Becomes Eclectic but I’m partial to the OG 103.1 version.

Adam Ross

I think he was trying to say that narratively it’s mostly straightforward. Compared to Inland Empire or Mulholland Dr it feels pretty normal

JeanDammeClaudeVan

For the bibliophile janitors, Mark Frost, co-creator/co-writer of Twin Peaks, wrote a couple of fun Victorian era novels wherein Sir Arthur Conan Doyle actually is Sherlock Holmes and his stories are based on real life.

Justin Robinson

When I was a senior in high school I worked at a Hollywood Video. For a chain, it had a pretty great selection of movies. It was also incredibly easy to steal movies there if you were an employee. I worked there for six months and accumulated probably close to a 100 VHS tapes, mostly whatever the big releases were that no one would know we were missing, but I’d also snag cool movies I was obsessed with that weren’t likely to be rented. But I flew too close to the sun when I stole our store’s only copy of Blue Velvet after my manager tried to rent it one night and realized that the tape and box were both gone. After they grilled a few coworkers, my name got dropped as the most likely culprit. I was asked to return the tape and they wouldn’t get the cops involved. I denied denied denied and was fired and banned from Hollywood Video for life. Anyways, still have the copy today. Worth it.

Data Janitor

Frank's weird gun business during the final confrontation is probably because he is using a silencer and subsonic ammunition. It's quieter but too weak to work the action and chamber the next round, so he does it manually each time.

Horace Jallowman

Fantastic movie. Fantastic ep. Thank you boyz!

Squirt Russell

That "Helping your Dad on the weekend" segment gave me PTSD. Mom would always tell me to go help my dad outside and then it would be a countdown to him yelling at me to go inside because I, a 13 year old, didn't know a two-stroke lawnmower needed a gas/oil mix or some such shit. Thanks for the free therapy, ABz!

Frosty peaches

I watched all of Twin Peaks way too young and it definitely helped shape me psychosexually. I saw Lost Highway at an indie theatre a few years ago and it was amazing seeing it with a crowd. Somehow the most boring and most terrifying movie at the same time. A+ I love hearing you guys talk about Lynch.

Devon Gravert

Rodgers trying to act like this movie isn't weird lol

Sam Riebesehl (Reeb-Uh-Shell)

Also, would love a Zombie Squad covering the Twin Peaks pilot

Douglas “Scoop” Reinhardt

Krumholz called Landis one of the greatest comedy directors of all time.

JarredPalmer

I imagine this episode resonates with a lot of listeners. I was born in 90 and I was the only kid at school who watched old movies airing on TV. Only 4th grader asking if anyone caught Angel Heart on TNT.

Eugenio Triana

Anyone read Quint, that book they released earlier this year about the backstory of the Jaws character? Was written by quite a respected author

bloodflart

Nope can you sum up what he says I know that pod is like 14hrs long right

bloodflart

No just "The Hidden"

Joe B

the Ewok dialect is a direct offshoot of the Universal Greeting, like Italian and Latin

Paul

Speaking of Stephen King, his new book of short stories, ‘You Like It Darker,’ includes a sequel to ‘Cujo.’ In this follow-up, readers discover what happens in the aftermath of the original story.

Schifrin's List

You guys mentioned Montgomery Clift, there's a pretty good but weird doc about him made by his nephew where he kinda dispels the "tormented genius" theories. Then there's weird stuff of his nephews talking about whether he fucked Marilyn Monroe or not

Rebe K

Since the Landis crash was referred to twice, did anyone listen to Blank Check with Krumholz a couple weeks ago? It’s so odd to actually hear a defender of Landis in that regard. (And forgive me for bringing up another podcast!)

Big Junior

Hidden gem

Someone on the reddit recommended The Hidden and it's a perfect movie for this pod

The Boyz all with Anton Chigur cut is a hilarious image

Pretty cool of Jack Furz to plug ABZ on this weeks episode of Comedy Bang Bang!

Sam Riebesehl (Reeb-Uh-Shell)

With Videodrome earlier this year and now Blue Velvet. Love that the boyz are finally covering my favorite Davids

My birthday is this week. That's funny

Dark Angel Of The Year

Re: Kids watching older stuff... I was in a big Buster Keaton phase last year and just started to talk to my niece & nephew about him. Then they looked him up on Youtube and watched some greatest hits clips. Then when I visited them and they wanted to watch a movie I put Sherlock Jr. on the TV and it KILLED. His stuff also has a good length for kids since most of his self-directed movies are all around an hour and he always ends with big insane setpieces.

Wesley Dolan

Shout out to Dean Stockwell's fantastic cameo. The vibes when he toasting "Here's to your fuck, Frank" are creepy as hell. His low key performance was a great counter balance to Hopper's manic intensity. He was a great character actor.
