WUH: I understand cellular phones now
2026/08/31
Finally... Cleo and I have reached the end of Twin Peaks. On this episode we talk about the final three episodes of Twin Peaks: The Return (2017); Coop's return, Audrey's Dance, Freddie's glove, and Richard and Linda. Did we understand it all? Nope. Did we like it? Yup. Enjoy and thanks for going on this journey with us.
WUH: We are like the dreamer
2026/08/17
Cleo and I are here with our penultimate episode on the world of Twin Peaks! You can feel things being wrapped up and winding down in episodes 13,14, and 15 of Twin Peaks: The Return (2017). We got some suprises regarding Diane and Janey-E, Nadine and Big Ed, and what finally triggers Coop to wake up. And Audrey and Sleepy Charlie have YET to leave their house!
WUH: I am not your foot
2026/07/27
Cleo and I are back in the world of Twin Peaks! We explore the middle-third of Twin Peaks: The Return (2017) which has some of our favorite episodes. Going forward we will be tackling only three episodes at a time, so expect two more releases from us. Who the heck is Billy?
WUH: There's sometimes a buggy
2026/07/13
On this episode Cleo and I leave the world of Twin Peaks and take a side-trip up Mullholland Dr. (2001). Betty/Diane, Rita/Camilla, Adam Kesher, The Cowboy, who's the guy in the wheelchair(?), Winkie's Man, etc. This. Is. The. Girl.
WUH: Is it about the bunny?
2026/06/26
Cleo and I are back in the world of Twin Peaks. On this episode we jump around the first six episodes of Twin Peaks: The Return (2017) which we both absolutely loved. We are team Dougie Jones all the way. Stay tuned as we hope to finish out the series by the end of summer.
WUH: 2x4, 4x8
2026/06/08
Cleo and I are starting a series about the series Twin Peaks (1990)! This first episode is on our thoughts of the original two season run of the show AND the film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992). We will be following this up with three episodes about Twin Peaks: The Return (2017). And you won't have to wait long for the first of those as we are already working on it!
WUH: A few small beers
2026/04/08
Cleo and I are back at it; talking about a bunch of movies we've seen since September 2025!! Some Oscar© winners, horror films, horror films that were Oscar© winners, Talking Heads, The Beatles, Peter Strickland, PTA, etc. Mark's OTHER Wake Up Heavy:
WUH: Weapons (2025)
2025/09/29
The Kid and I watched Weapons (2025) and we LIKED it! Plus a bunch of other cool stuff we watched. Apologies for all the Magnolia clips, I just love that movie!!
PS: The Naked Gun (2025)
2025/09/23
We knew it would happen and here it is! Mike, Mark, and Chris discuss the 2025 reboot of The Naked Gun franchise with... The Naked Gun! The film stars Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin Jr. and Paul Walter Hauser as Ed Hocken Jr., with Pamela Anderson along as the love interest, Beth Davenport—an author of true crime novels based on fictional stories that she makes up. The film reunites the powerhouse trio behind Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022)—Dan Gregor, Doug Mand, and Akiva Schaffer—who do a great job channeling the ZAZ flavor of comedy.

WUH: That's hella tight
2025/07/30
Cleo the Kid and I are back at it with our usual round up of Recently (and not-so-recently) Watched movies. Franchises, trilogies, and series abound. Join us won't you?
WUH: The Monkey, et al
2025/04/28
Cleo and I watched a handful of good movies during her Spring Break and then we talked about them. With particular attention paid to Strange Darling with Kyle Gallner and Willa Fitzgerald and The Monkey by our boy Oz Perkins based on a short story by Stephen King.
WUH: Follow up to a fall
2025/03/19
Here's a little follow up about my accident and my progress since the last episode. Also, Cleo the Kid has joined me to talk about some fun horror flicks we've watched since the first of the year. Give it a listen, won't ya?
WUH: Anatomy of a fall
2025/02/13
A look back at the crappy year that was 2024 and some news about the double crappy start to 2025. Plus my movie watches of last year, the highs and lows and things in between. I'm such a lucky boy. Me on TPB talking about Radio On (1979): https://www.projectionboothpodcast.com/2024/08/episode-702-radio-on-1979.html
WUH: Der Fan (1982)
2024/10/14
Please join me for the Third Course of my, "Cannibal Trilogy," started almost exactly one year ago. To round things out I take a stab at the 1982 German film Der Fan, starring Desiree Nosbusch and Bodo Steiger as a young fan and her Pop Star obsession, respectively.
WUH: Movies with Dad
2024/09/23
In memory of my dad, Jack Begley 6/29/34-8/12/24.
