S2, E16: The Condemned Woman
Listen now
Description
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!
