"Don't you understand, Rachel? She never sleeps."
-- Aidan Keller to Rachel Keller, The Ring
It is happening again...My co-host with the most Xan Sprouse and I are back with a new episode of Ghostwood: The Twin Peaks Podcast! This time, we continue our retrospective of Twin Peaks Actors in Other Films by discussing The Ring, the 2002 supernatural horror film directed by Gore Verbinski, starring Naomi Watts as Rachel Keller, David Dorfman as Aidan Keller, Brian Cox as Richard Morgan, and Daveigh Chase as Samara Morgan!
LET'S ROCK!
In this episode, Xan, and I discuss things like Xan seeing MST3K Live!, Roland Emmerich swiping from '80s movies, the divisiveness of Samara crawling out the television, watching The Ring at home and praying for telemarketers when the phone rings, Russ Tamblyn's daughter Amber Tamblyn as Katie Embry, the original 1998 Japanese horror film Ringu, our eagerness to upgrade to DVDs over VHS tapes, the advantage of collecting physical media over streaming services "curating" movies, the live-action Dumbo being too sad for anyone to watch, Michael Horse and Jay Silverheels being the only Tontos you should care about, featured actress Naomi Watts, Lindsay Frost being the daughter of Warren Frost and sister of Mark Frost, the anime Sgt. Frog, modern American audiences hating subtitles because they're too busy looking at their phones, my watching afterschool animated shows in the '70s, Brian Cox in Manhunter as the Ood Elder on Doctor Who, Adam Brody being considered for The Flash, David Lynch being offered The Ring, bizarre marketing ideas to promote The Ring, the Suicidal Tendencies song "Institutionalized", why the Morgans deserved to be haunted by their daughter Samara, the DVD easter egg showing the cursed video, Sting's song "Why Should I Cry for You?", Rachel assisting in a horse suicide, a special appearance by Xan's husband Chris, the creepy barn loft where Samara was kept, the awkward moment when Aidan tells Rachel that it was a mistake to help Samara find peace, watching Samara crawl out of the television in the movie theater, Rachel and Aidan making a copy of the tape so they can sic Samara on someone else instead, a special request email from Nicole Loftus, Mark Zuckerberg craving barbeque, Lori and I taking our kittens over for my Mom's 85th birthday, and more!
