1 week ago

A SPOILER-AGNOSTIC PODCAST FOR TWIN PEAKS NEWCOMERS AND EXPERTS ALIKE!


Did you know that you love David Lynch's masterpiece television show Twin Peaks, even if you haven't seen it? Shy Fox did, for decades.


Over the course of 30 years, this Z-list podcaster heard his favorite video games, movies, and television shows constantly compared to this groundbreaking TV phenomenon, and was always intrigued. Then in 2024 he finally watched the show for the first time, finishing its final season just in time to join the world in mourning Lynch's January 2025 passing.


Now he is on a quest to both discover and revisit the HUNDREDS of pieces of pop-culture that have been unfathomably changed by the far-reaching influence of Twin Peaks and its creators, so he can help other newcomers discover what makes it special. He will be guided through this saga by special appearances from Paramount's Own "Jonathan Off Road Rules" of MTV fame, who is a lifelong Lynchian expert and theorist.


Each episode will also feature a special SUPERSTAR GUEST from the podcasting, comedy, entertainment, and video game industries. They will speak passionately how Twin Peaks irrevocably changed their favorite video game, movie, or television show.

I Saw the TV Glow - FYHOD #10

Just in time for Halloween, the FYHOD gang goes for a deep dive into the modern horror masterpiece "I Saw the TV Glow"!


This 2024 movie explores themes of televisual nostalgia and transgender tribulations in a lovingly-Lynchian way that only a true "Twin Peaks" acolyte like Jane Schoenbrun could muster. The result is an instantly-iconic piece of media that shows even the most stalwart allies whole new dimensions of dysphoria, and how to defeat it from within.

Lynch's Log #5 - The Elephant Man

Season 2 of FYHOD continues with a new Lynch's Log! Hosts Shy Fox, Laura Kate Dale, and Marcy O'Daniels take an in-depth look at the incredibly "freakish" normalcy of Lynch's 1980 film The Elephant Man

.

What makes this disturbingly straightforward semi-biopic uniquely captivating among the works of David Lynch? And might this movie still be the most uniquely, captivatingly beautiful film in his entire catalog, even 45 years from release?


Listen along as we find ways to relate to the titular "Elephant Man", and fix our hearts in the face of his trials and tribulations!

FYHOD! #9 - Serial Experiments Lain - With Allen Ortega and Conrad Zimmerman

FYHOD returns for Season 2, with our first investigation into the realm of Lynchian anime!


Hosts Shy Fox and Marcy O'Daniels are joined by old-school anime aficionados Allen Ortega and Conrad Zimmerman to take a weird, wired dive into the sullenly sinister cyber-scapes of 1998's Serial Experiments Lain. This bizarrely prescient cult-classic may be nearly 30 years old, but feels more relevant than ever in our "Present Day, Present Time"!


What would it be like if you always existed online, and could never log off? What would happen if infinite truths had to coexist in the collective consciousness at the same time, in a miasma of misinformation? COULD YOU EVEN IMAGINE?!

BONUS: Fester's Quest & Gremlins 2 - from the files of "The Dead Pixels Podcast"

HEY FOLKS, SHY FOX HERE!


The next season of Fix Your Heart Or Die! is coming next week, with our deep-dive on the fascinatingly-Lynchian anime Serial Experiments Lain!


In the meantime, spooky season is coming up, so we thought we would share another perfectly-themed BONUS EPISODE from our archives.


In another life, I hosted a show called "the Dead Pixels Podcast" with a friend I met in the Sterling/Jonathan "Shattered" community. This show aimed to find the best qualities of bad games, and find out what made them special even if the end-result was less-than-ideal. This early installment saw myself and Allen Ortega looking on the Sunsoft-sponsored bright side of 2 of the darkest 8-bit games: Fester's Quest and Gremlins 2: The New Batch.


Please enjoy another weird old show from our bygone era, as you ask yourselves: "What Year Is It?"

FYHOD! #8 - Severance Season 2 (Part 3: Throupling and Uncoupling) - with Allen Ortega and Laura Kate Dale

"The Twin Peaks of the quarantine era" CONCLUDES its sophomore season with more mind-bending, self-splitting antics!


How can the two Marks throuple-up so thoroughly, when they don't even love themselves? Does the show's sparing use of physical violence give every punch or gunshot a reality-warping impact? And can Burt G really go to heaven, as Burt Goodman rots rightfully in hell?


MEANWHILE: Beanie Tuesday tortures imprisoned musician Danielo Sanfordalamenti, as Shy Fox teams up with his outie to save the innies of the Micro Niche Podcasting crew!

BONUS: Shadow The Hedgehog - from the files of "The Dead Pixels Podcast"

HEY FOLKS, SHY FOX HERE!


Super Producer Danielo Sanfordalamenti and I are hard at work on next week's SUPER-SIZED GUEST FEATURE, while also wrapping up the loose story ends of our Severance coverage.


HOWEVER: I hate to skip weeks, especially after taking a holiday break, even though our pace has been INCREDIBLE for a new podcast. That's why I wanted to share a special podcast I made in 2018 that barely anyone ever got a chance to hear.


In another life, I hosted a show called "the Dead Pixels Podcast" with a friend I met in the Sterling/Jonathan "Shattered" community. This show aimed to find the best qualities of bad games, and find out what made them special even if the end-result was less-than-ideal. One of our finest episodes came near the end of our run, and covered the GameCube/PS2/Xbox "classic" Shadow The Hedgehog.


If you listen closely, you may hear a familiar voice: Laura Kate Dale! Laura was very passionate about Shadow and his smoldering angst, so it was one of the first occasions she and I were able to bond over our shared weirdness.


I hope you all enjoy this bonus, and look forward to serving up more FYHOD goodness in the IMMEDIATE future!

Patrons will remember that our first post, before FYHOD had begun production, was an episode of this show featuring the game "Shadow The Hedgehog", which is still one of my favorite things I have ever made. So now I am following up with an episode of the short-lived spinoff show, which expanded the Dead Pixels goal beyond video games to other media: "Dreck Squad: In Hi-Fi!"


This introductory episode saw us covering the beautifully-baffling cartoon "Sonic Underground" which featured Jaleel White (AKA Television's The Urkel) as the titular hedgehog AND his 2 triplet siblings. Please enjoy this wild ride through one of the strangest pop-culture curios we ever investigated!

"The Twin Peaks of the quarantine era" continues its sophomore season with more mind-bending, self-splitting antics!


Is Helly's outie one of the most despicable villains in the history of the medium? Why can shows like Severance and Twin Peaks tackle controversial material that would seem tasteless in less-skilled hands?

Over the course of 30 years, Z-list podcaster Shy Fox heard his favorite video games, movies, and television shows constantly compared to Twin Peaks, and was always intrigued.

What's the opposite of Lynch's Log? GOL S'CHNYL! In this subseries, the FYHOD! gang goes back in time, to look at works that influenced David Lynch, before he transformed pop-culture with Twin Peaks.


As we polish off the mind-bending masterpiece that is Ingrid Bergman's 1966 PERSONA, we ponder the profound power of parasocial personae, and the simple strength of silence. Shy Fox leads Laura Kate Dale and Marcy O to the other side of Bergman's cutting-edge smoke-and-mirror effects, to show them the true joy of viewing a decades-old "modern horror" masterpiece through a uniquely 2025 Lynchian lens.

FYHOD! Special #1: Boston's Favorite Son VS. the Lynchian Nightmare of Fame - With Jonathan Off Road Rules (ft. Two Daniels)

IN CELEBRATION OF SHY FOX'S #BOSTON DEBUT AT #PAXEAST2025 05/10/25: Mysterious Beings From Another Zone known only as Two Daniels introduce the second in their series of #DavidLynch-themed interviews with MTV Icon Jonathan Off Road Rules AKA "Boston's Favorite Son".


How does Jonathan feel about his inability to live a life of peaceful obscurity, cursed forever by the #Lynchian specter of fame, to meet Hollywood Icons like Chris Evans and Eugene Mirman?


FINALLY: Rumors abound that Jonathan will honor the memory of "The Man Who Was The Bat" by bringing "Val Kilmer's Thanksgiving Rockdown" back to Boston Arena this holiday season.


Might a special SUPERSTAR GUEST pop by to visit Two Daniels and their strangely-sinister studio audience along the way?

Did you know that you love David Lynch's masterpiece television show Twin Peaks, even if you haven't seen it? Shy Fox did, for decades.

Over the course of 30 years, this Z-list podcaster heard his favorite video games, movies, and television shows constantly compared to this groundbreaking TV phenomenon, and was always intrigued. Then in 2024 he finally watched the show for the first time, finishing its final season just in time to join the world in mourning Lynch's January 2025 passing.


Now he is on a quest to both discover and revisit the HUNDREDS of pieces of pop-culture that have been unfathomably changed by the far-reaching influence of Twin Peaks and its creators, so he can help other newcomers discover what makes it special. He will be guided through this saga by special appearances from Paramount's Own "Jonathan Off Road Rules" of MTV fame, who is a lifelong Lynchian expert and theorist.


Each episode will also feature a special SUPERSTAR GUEST from the podcasting, comedy, entertainment, and video game industries. They will speak passionately how Twin Peaks irrevocably changed their favorite video game, movie, or television show.
