Episodes

46: The Return, Part 16
Allie and Jeremy celebrate one of the most satisfying episodes yet for longtime fans. There’s so much ground to cover, and just so much to luve. Will there be credits on Part 17? Who is who?

-
43: The Return, Part 13
Allie and Jeremy sift through the mixed emotions they and the rest of the Internet felt about different aspects of this episode.

-
42: The Return, Part 12
Allie and Jeremy discuss an episode that Showtime and the cast have been hyping as one in which "big stuff happens" (as if that weren't every episode). Find out whether Allie hated this divisive episode at all...or as much as many friends texted that they assumed she would. Covered here: Episode…

38: The Return, Part 8
Jake Fogelnest returns to discuss the most substantial, "Lynchian" episode yet, coming just before Twin Peaks goes on a two-week break before the final ten episodes start airing. Does this episode deserve the "one of the great episodes in TV history" praise that Jeremy and others gave it the…

-
31: Fire Walk With Me
After 2 years instead of 25, Allie and Jeremy return to discuss Fire Walk With Me.

-
21: Checkmate (Noah Segan)
Actor/raconteur/bon-vivant Noah Segan joins Allie and Jeremy to talk about an episode that he has not seen in many years. In the same way that Episode 20 opens in a semi-surreal dreamscape, the format you know and love is thrown entirely out the window in this back-from-hiatus episode of the…
