‘Twin Peaks’ Hall of Fame: “Pilot” With Joanna and Sean

‘Twin Peaks’ Hall of Fame: “Pilot”

Joanna Robinson and Sean Fennessey grab their tape recorders to revisit the Twin Peaks pilot episode, “Northwest Passage.” They discuss what the series represents in David Lynch’s storied catalog of works, the mystery crime drama’s somewhat surprising level of mainstream popularity, and their personal history with the show (5:49). Along the way, they dive into Kyle MacLachlan’s role as Agent Dale Cooper (33:56). Later, they unpack the unforgettable final moments of the episode and the flawed international version of the episode (48:12).
