Reassessing 'Fire Walk With Me': The Journey from Criticism to Acclaim

New episodes of Twin Peaks land this Sunday (holy balls!), and that can only mean one thing: it’s time to revisit Fire Walk With Me, Lynch’s divisive, brutal film chronicling the final days of Laura Palmer. Author and critic Adam Nayman joins Kate and Simon to talk about the film’s critical rehabilitation, its wacky prologue, its impact on the Twin Peaks world at large, Sheryl Lee’s remarkable performance, and to take potshots at other filmmakers for kicks.
