S2, E6: Demons
The weird are going pro in the very otherworldly Season 2, Episode 6, “Demons”! As always, we’ll spoil this episode, so watch before listening!
This week, Colin updates his gothic checklist and admits to being disturbed, but not in the good way; Jonathan puts Mädchen Amick and Shelley Johnson in our adoring spotlight; Damon illuminates us on multiple characters’ shifting and temporary identities; and Jennifer explores what it means to be a “visitor” in Twin Peaks. For the Twist, we puzzle out what Bob may have been up to for the last 40 years!
