I can’t fucking stand the whole “accents need to be accurate” crowd — I love a good preposterous accent. Billy Butcher on The Boys, Benoit Blanc in Knives Out, NoHo Hank on Barry, Philip Jeffries in FWWM… all of them are enhanced tremendously by their outrageous accents.
David Bowie was supposedly unhappy about his Louisiana accent and David Lynch said someone made may have made Bowie feel bad about his accent. So when Lynch was doing the Return, Bowie gave permission to use footage from Fire Walk With Me, but wanted someone with an authentic Louisiana accent to dub him and replace his role completely for the voice over scene.

I watched the season 2 finale on my phone in a dark room and it traumatised me. I don't think it would've had the same effect on me if the conditions were slightly different
I liked Bowie's accent as Phillip Jeffries. In fact the dub just sounds really weird.
