Listen now
Description
With TWIN PEAKS back on the air after 26 years, Matt and Alison start this episode of SVU by taking a look at the film with which TWIN PEAKS last left off — prequel FIRE WALK WITH ME, which was booed at Cannes back in 1992, but has since been reevaluated as a David Lynch classic. Then, in honor of the way FIRE WALK WITH ME gives the spotlight to Laura Palmer, TWIN PEAKS’ murder victim, they discuss the not-always-grand tradition of the beautiful dead girl on screen, offering examples that established or subverted this trend, all available to rent or stream right now.Filmspotting: SVU is brought to you by Movies On Demand On Cable, Lexus, and Showtime’s I'm Dying Up Here.Opening Break: "A Cure For Wellness" "I, Daniel Blake" "Band Aid"Listener's Choice Review: "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me"Queue Shots: The Beautiful Dead GirlBehind the 8-Ball: 3 New Releases2 Listener Recommendations1 Random Film From Our Netflix "My Lists"
