Shy Fox

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.

AS WE EMBARK ON THIS SILLY-SERIOUS PODCASTING JOURNEY WE INVITE YOU, DEAR LISTENER, TO DO AS DAVID LYNCH HIMSELF PREACHED: FIX YOUR HEART OR DIE!!

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple - FYHOD #11
The main series of Fix Your Heart Or Die! returns to cover a recent release, and the most Lyncian zombie flick in history: 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. This sequel--released perhaps too hot on the heels of hit legacy revival 28 Years Later--covers thematic ground hitherto unexplored by its genre. And so much of that ground just happens to connect to the moon (and by proxy David Lynch)! So follow Fox, Laura, and Marcy across the narrow strait into the bone zone, to hear all about how the lore of Teletubbies, paedo philanthropists, and Satan himself are more relevant than ever in the world of this franchise's post-apocalypse (and our own).

Hour of the Wolf (1968) - GOL S'CHNYL #3
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. It's back to the unfathomable depths of the Ingmar Bergman well, with his follow-up to Persona (1968) known as Hour of the Wolf. This soul-searingly semiautobiographical, misunderstood masterpiece chronicles the struggle of a retired artist against his repressed demons. Along the way Fox, Marcy, and Laura learn all about the vampiric thrall of The Hat Woman, the questionable morality of murdering ankle-biting boys, and how these forces combined might just ruin ones island getaway with even the most impossibly-compassionate pregnant wife.

Shy Fox, Laura Kate Dale, and Marcy O'Daniels walk like proverbial magicians astride the thin line separating the real from the surreal, as Dale Cooper leads the the way.

HEY FOLKS, SHY FOX HERE! We are currently hard at work on our next batch of Twin Peaks recaps, a new Lynch's Log, and the next mainline FYHOD. In the meantime, we present to you a special BONUS episode from our alternate-universe archives. In this other universe, 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 and underrated games, and find out what made them special even if the end-result was less-than-ideal. In this decade-old episode, we covered one of my favorite overlooked gems: Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for the Nintendo 64. This bizarre Japanese period piece featured very early Mario/Zelda hybrid gameplay, along with an incredible soundtrack, served alongside a heaping helping of wacky, borderline-surreal humor. It's truly a peculiar feast for particular senses, and I encourage all of you to check it out, or at least load up that soundtrack on YouTube.

Weather Report 01/16/2026: A Gloomy Year Without David Lynch - Under The Sycamore Trees #5
David Keith Lynch departed this earthly theater of the absurd a year ago today. Fox and Laura celebrate his profound influence on their lives by doing one of his favorite things: reporting on the local weather. The FYHOD friends then talk at length about how connecting with Lynch's work has kept them insanely sane despite the awfulness of 2025, and how they feel more connected to him--and by proxy the moon--than ever. Other topics include: Laura's undying fixation on the band My Chemical Romance, as well as Fox's lengthy journey into the sublimely-cryptic video game secrets of Angeline Era!

Under The Sycamore Trees #4 - 2025 Wrap-Up Spectacular
It's the end-of-year installment for our intermittent community podcast! Shy Fox and Marcy O'Daniels dissect some shocking developments in the realm of David Lynch news, before treating themselves to a long, freeform chat about their favorite media of the year. Is Quentin Tarantino fit to judge whether Lynch disappeared up his own ass, when he can't even see the obvious acting talents of Paul Dano and Matthew Lillard? Has Kyle MacLachlen become David's avatar on this earthly realm ever since his passing? And is Metroid Prime 4: Beyond worthy of a deeper look despite (or perhaps even because of) its strangest choices? Answers to these and many more mysteries lie Under The Sycamore Trees! 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.

On this sprawling installment of Lynch's Log, Shy "Hulud" Fox finally imbibes the spice so nice they remade it twice, via the 1984 cult-classic Dune! Fox's Fremen friends Laura Kate Dale and Marcy O'Daniels pick apart every piece of this fascinating pop-culture curio, as special guest Danielo Sanfordalamenti plays his sultry Semuta Music in the corner to help them along. Is there still value to be had in a movie that David Lynch disavows, even after 41 years and 2 more faithful adaptations of the book? Did the spectacular shield special effects predict the mind-boggling graphics of Nintendo 64? And is Thufir Hawat still milking space cats to this very day?

SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRETY OF TWIN PEAKS WITHIN! FYHOD goes European in this special installment of Fish In The Percolator, wherein the crew follows up their discussion of the Pilot with a look into the enormously-enigmatic "international Pilot". This bizarre alternate cut of the first Twin Peaks entry may exist outside of the series canon, BUT it somehow winds up spoiling key elements of the series as a whole.

Until now, FYHOD has carried the odd distinction of being a Twin Peaks podcast with no direct discussion of Twin Peaks. But no more!

Fix Your Heart Or Die: Songs from the Podcast - Shattering the Mirror with Danielo Sanfordalamenti
Shy Fox here with a special report: the official soundtrack to our podcast now has 5 extra tracks AND is available on all major streaming platforms including the reprehensible Spotify! We hope you decide to check it out, especially on Bandcamp where they treat creators right. As a special treat, the album's composer (AKA our beloved super-producer) has recorded this special message all about his process creating it. One of the most fascinating things about this past year of FYHOD has been working with Daniel Sanford. When I first approached him last year for collaboration, I did not know him very well, and we had only interacted fleetingly as decades-long fans of Jonathan Off Road Rules. I was a huge fan of his work with The Spin-Off Doctors Spin-Off Podcast and Talking To Women About Video Games, and frankly I was quite envious of how close he had managed to get with Jonathan. Plus, I just thought he seemed like a really funny, interesting guy. So when I caught the podcasting bug again last year, I introduced myself to him properly an improv comedy podcast to him, much in the vein of our beloved Boston's Favorite Son. The files I sent him for reference of my old show called SMUNCH failed to ignite his imagination, so he declined at the time. But I didn't give up! Twin Peaks had taken over my mind by the end of 2024, and the doppelganger in my body had EXTREME confidence. Thus, I once again approached him about producing a new show all about David Lynch. He was more intrigued this time, with one caveat: he barely knew anything about David Lynch, and quite disliked what he DID know of his work. But I assured him that I had a bizarre enough plan to make it worth his while. In the months since, I have watched an entirely new creative persona blossom within my fellow Daniel: the mood-music superstar Danielo Sanfordalamenti! Named after a bizarre portmanteau of his actual name and that of famed Twin Peaks composer Angelo Badalamenti, this newly-Severed Sanford took his assignment seriously. He watched all of Twin Peaks (despite despising about 70% of it), all the while internalizing the emotions of its music. Long story short, his resultant work--which recreates the spirit and power of Twin Peaks while remaining entirely original--is something that makes me tremendously proud to be associated with. The entire FYHOD project simply would not be the same without it. And honestly, my life today would not be nearly as rich had I not come to know Daniel as a collaborator, and as a friend.
