   WUH: I understand cellular phones now

   Finally... Cleo and I have reached the end of Twin Peaks. On this episode we talk about the final three episodes of Twin Peaks: The Return (2017); Coop's return, Audrey's Dance, Freddie's glove, and Richard and Linda. Did we understand it all? Nope. Did we like it? Yup. Enjoy and thanks for going on this journey with us.

   Cleo and I are here with our penultimate episode on the world of Twin Peaks! You can feel things being wrapped up and winding down in episodes 13,14, and 15 of Twin Peaks: The Return (2017). We got some suprises regarding Diane and Janey-E, Nadine and Big Ed, and what finally triggers Coop to wake up. And Audrey and Sleepy Charlie have YET to leave their house!

   WUH: I am not your foot

   Cleo and I are back in the world of Twin Peaks! We explore the middle-third of Twin Peaks: The Return (2017) which has some of our favorite episodes. Going forward we will be tackling only three episodes at a time, so expect two more releases from us. Who the heck is Billy?
