Well THAT was a hell of thing! This week we got seriously pulled into Season 2, Episode 16, “The Condemned Woman" and could barely get a handle on its wonderfully Peaksy twists and turns. In this episode of Back to the Double R: Damon gives a presentation on the natural history of the Little Pine Weasel; Jonathan unmasks the show’s unmaskings and raises a glass to Josie Packard; Jennifer asks about the metaphysics of that big twist; and Colin wonders about the narrative boundaries of a TV show. For the Twist, we honor awards season by inaugurating the First Annual Creamed Corn Award, saluting the worst storylines we’re glad to see the back side of!LISTEN: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | BuzzSprout | Spotify | RSS | and more!S2, E16 NOTES:Lesli Linka Glatter (episode director) Tricia Brock (episode director) Joan Chen (b. 1961, Josie Packard) Titanic (1997, film, directed by James Cameron) Billy Zane (b. 1966, John “Jack” Justice Wheeler) David Warner (b. 1941, Thomas Eckhardt) Kate Winslet (b. 1975, British actor) All American Girl (1994, ABC TV series starring Margaret Cho) Shang-Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings (2021, film) Joy Luck Club (1993, film) Crazy Rich Asians (film, 2018, dir. by John M.
