Diane, it's 11:30am, February 24th, and the hosts of fSobriety are re-entering the world of Twin Peaks to resume their rewatch of 2017's Twin Peaks: The Return, diving deep into the many delights and obscure enigmas of Part 9.

Along the way, Craig, James & Alan will be contemplating David Lynch's complex & fraught relationship with language & what this means for the world of The Return; Lynch & Mark Frost's differing approaches & possibly different intentions with the prevalent theme of economic hardship; why there's still dark magic in the heart of Gentleman Ben and a capacity for cruelty in that of Sultan of Sentiment Albert; the missed opportunity to have had Sky Ferreira perform at the Roadhouse  in character as Itchin' Ella; and the possibility that all this really is The Policeman's (Recurring) Dream. There's also time for a comprehensive overview of some of Lynch/Frost's unrealised projects, & musings on Lynch's often underappreciated approach to comedy.

PLUS, BONUS CONTENT - Our hosts catch up on some recent TV viewing, including Wheel of Time, Pam & Tommy, Archive 81 & Euphoria, lavish some love on RnB queen Amber Mark and avant-metal titans Venom Prison, and pay tribute to late funk/soul icon Betty Davis.
