SVU #139: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me / The Tradition of The Beautiful Dead Girl




Filmspotting: Streaming Video Unit (SVU) show

Summary: With TWIN PEAKS back on the air after 26 years, Matt and Alison start this episode of SVU by taking a look at the film with which TWIN PEAKS last left off — prequel FIRE WALK WITH ME, which was booed at Cannes back in 1992, but has since been reevaluated as a David Lynch classic. Then, in honor of the way FIRE WALK WITH ME gives the spotlight to Laura Palmer, TWIN PEAKS’ murder victim, they discuss the not-always-grand tradition of the beautiful dead girl on screen, offering examples that established or subverted this trend, all available to rent or stream right now.<br><br><em>Filmspotting: SVU is brought to you by</em><a href="http://rentmoviesondemand.com/indies"><em> Movies On Demand On Cable</em></a><em>, </em><a href="http://www.lexus.com/models/LC"><em>Lexus</em></a><em>, and Showtime’s </em><a href="http://www.sho.com/im-dying-up-here"><em>I'm Dying Up Here</em></a><em>.</em><br><br>Opening Break: "A Cure For Wellness" "I, Daniel Blake" "Band Aid"<br>Listener's Choice Review: "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me"<br>Queue Shots: The Beautiful Dead Girl<br>Behind the 8-Ball: <br>3 New Releases<br>2 Listener Recommendations<br>1 Random Film From Our Netflix "My Lists"
