Frank finally fulfills a decade-long dream: recording a podcast about one of his longtime obsessions, David Lynch and Mark Frost's surrealist, genre-bending soap opera "Twin Peaks."

Also: Diane Keaton directs, Steven Spielberg ALMOST directs, Scott debunks myths about the Lynch-Frost partnership, and the panel discusses how the series changed television AND the culture. PLUS: The tao of Agent Cooper! The villainy of Windom Earle! The madness of "Twin Peaks" mania! Frank gets the Log Lady's autograph! And Scott and Harley praise "Twin Peaks: The Return"!
