"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!

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. 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.

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?

MEANWHILE: The mysterious "Mr. Tuesday" consults the even-more-enigmatic mastermind "JSS" on the shattered destiny of Jonathan Off Road Rules. Will Fox fulfill their vile plan to deliver him The Box at PAX East in Boston?!

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.
