Fire Shock With Me: S1E03
“The Owls Are Gathering”
In July of 2024, Cinema Shock began a series of episodes deep diving into the filmography of David Lynch. But no discussion of Lynch’s work and career is complete without including his most widely seen project, Twin Peaks, the TV series he co-created with Mark Frost, which originally aired on ABC for two seasons in 1990 and 1991.
In this bonus series, available exclusively to members of CinemaShock+, we’re watching through Twin Peaks in its entirety. All three hosts have varying degrees of exposure to the series, with Todd Davis being a first-time viewer. So this series is designed not only for seasoned Twin Peaks fans, but also for those watching for the first time. There will be no spoilers for future episodes — only for the ones being discussed.
In this episode of Fire Shock With Me, we explore Twin Peaks Season 1, Episode 2, “Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer,” an hour of television that marks a major tonal shift. Cooper introduces his Tibetan rock-throwing technique, the Log Lady makes her debut, and Ben and Jerry Horne take brie to an uncomfortable new level. And then, of course, there's that dream — a backwards-speaking man in a red room, Laura whispering secrets, and the surreal arrival of something much stranger than murder mystery.
