The Weekly Stuff #190 – Twin Peaks Returns, Doctor Who S10E6, Fire Emblem Echoes, and more!

It’s a fun, busy week on the show, as we get to talk about a ton of interesting, weird stuff. First, Jonathan shares his thoughts on the new Alien Covenant and the Alien franchise in general. Then, Jonathan and Sean dive into the week’s news, including the gameplay reveal of Destiny 2, Universal’s inexplicable unveiling of the so-called ‘Dark Universe,’ and more. For our main topics, Jonathan gives his first impressions of Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia for the Nintendo 3DS, and we both rave about the latest, strangest episode of Doctor Who, “Extremis.” And finally, we dive headfirst into the first four hours of Showtime’s Twin Peaks revival, and all the wonderful, weird, wild, hilarious, and horrifying material creators David Lynch and Mark Frost have dished out for us. Spoilers abound, so be sure to see the episodes before listening!
