Blue Rose Task Force: A Twin Peaks Obsessive Podcast

The Between Two Worlds special feature from the Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery box set may have seemed like a quirky epilogue to see what the Palmers would be like 25 years later, but your host John looks into how this is actually a bridge that has a lot to tell us about how Lynch was preparing for (and using the language of) The Return.

In this episode, your host John begins to sift through the Missing Pieces of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

And, what does it look like when the Missing Pieces are combined with Fire Walk With Me?Production by Mitch Proctor and Area 42 Studios and SoundAdditional audio editing John Bernardyhttps://www.teepublic.com/user/ruminationsradionetworkwww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkwww.25yearslatersite.comInstagram: BlueRoseTaskForceTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNTwitter: @BlueRoseTFpodhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioEmail ruminationsradio@gmail.comEmail bluerosetaskforcepodcast@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

What kind of questions are asked in a world of blue, and how do the answers arrive? In this final episode looking into Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, your host John looks into Laura Palmer’s path through the film. Laura’s quest to unmask her adversary BOB takes her into her dualities, and both worlds, as she navigates from asking questions to understanding the answers she receives from diaries, paintings, a jade ring, and guardian angels.Production by Mitch Proctor and Area 42 Studios and SoundAdditional audio editing John Bernardyhttps://www.teepublic.com/user/ruminationsradionetworkwww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkwww.25yearslatersite.comInstagram: BlueRoseTaskForceTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNTwitter: @BlueRoseTFpodhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioEmail ruminationsradio@gmail.comEmail bluerosetaskforcepodcast@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

This week, your host John focuses his look into Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me on Dale Cooper, the FBI and the supernatural in-betweens they investigate.

Why shouldn’t Laura take the ring? Is Cooper the Dreamer? Or is he a hero manufactured for a purpose in someone else’s dream?https://www.25yearslatersite.com/2017/10/10/reincarnation-and-the-return-part-1/Production by Mitch Proctor and Area 42 Studios and SoundAdditional audio editing John Bernardyhttps://www.teepublic.com/user/ruminationsradionetworkwww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkwww.25yearslatersite.comInstagram: BlueRoseTaskForceTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNTwitter: @BlueRoseTFpodhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadioEmail ruminationsradio@gmail.comEmail bluerosetaskforcepodcast@gmail.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Agent Elle returns to have a conversation with your host John about the codes and symbols found in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me.
