This week we discuss season 1, episode 7, “Realization Time,” which originally aired on May 17, 1990 on ABC. As always, we will be revealing plot details, so we assume that listeners will have watched Twin Peaks season 1 through episode 7. It’s an action-packed episode, with plenty of themes for our crew to explore. Colin notes the prominence of the color blue, dissects the increasing juxtapositions of sweetness and horror (think blood on the doughnuts), and how male power terrorizes. Damon explores Agent Cooper’s complex moral code. For our character spotlight, Jonathan takes a closer look at Sherilyn Fenn’s portrayal of Audrey Horne. Jennifer, the AV nerd of the group, scrutinizes the variety of ways that recording, playback and feedback are expressed in this week’s episode. For “The Twist,” we chat about costuming and disguises, from bad wigs to cartoon homages to ball caps.LISTEN: BuzzSprout | Google Podcasts | Spotify | RSS | and more!S1, E4 NOTES: Harley Peyton (episode writer)Caleb Deschanel (episode director)Madchen Amick (Shelley Johnson)Sherilyn Fenn (Audrey Horne)Reflections: An Oral History of Twin Peaks (2014, book, written by Brad DukesBeauty and the Beast (1991, Disney film, directed by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise)Mulholland Drive (2001, film, directed by David Lynch)Sheryl Lee (Maddy Ferguson/Laura Palmer)Laura (1944, film, directed by Otto Preminger)Cary Granite (Cary Grant parody on The Flintstones)Elsa (main character from 2013 Disney film Frozen)Patricia Norris (costume designer on multiple Lynch projects) Nancy Steiner (Twin Peaks Season 3 costume designer)Twin Peaks costume retrospective from Observer.com (UK)
