(WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS FOR DEATH STRANDING 2 AND THE LAST OF US PART 2/SEASON 2)
In an ESPECIALLY SPOILER HEAVY EPISODE of our community podcast Under The Sycamore Trees, Daniel \"Shy\" Fox takes a thoughtfully-simulated walk through the valley of the shadow of Twin Peaks with Laura Kate Dale, as they discuss secret Lynchian connections in the BRAND NEW Hideo Kojima game Death Stranding 2: On The Beach.
How is Laura capable of masterfully dissecting this hundred-hour journey in mere hours before this recording? And where will she find the strength to keep on keepin' on in the games industry?
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. 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.
