S2, E3: The Man Behind Glass

Season 2 is taking another turn for the weird this week, as characters show new sides and old enemies draw near. As always, spoilers for this ep, so watch before listening! 

In a show known for its sense of humor, we also have to face the cluster of awful men doing horrible things. Jennifer leads us through a conversation about the derision and abuse that men direct at women in Twin Peaks; Jonathan looks at critical turning points for several characters; Damon cracks open the rivalries and vendettas threatening to boil over; and Colin asks if villains can have unexpected depth. For the Twist, we reveal our own real-life “Lynchian moments.”
