The spirit of springtime foolery has possessed the FYHOD friends once again! So Fox and Laura have recruited Danielo Sanfordalamenti and Jane Aerith Magnet-Dale to conduct a VERY SERIOUS investigation into the top-secret connections between the Twin Peaks Season 2 finale, and the shockingly-Lynchian 1994 family film The Flintstones. Will Evil Dale Cooper--disguised as villainous businessman "Cliff Vandercave"--succeed in using the powers of the Black Lodge to change the course of stone-age history forever? Will Fred and Barney survive their fateful encounter with a non-David "Lynch Mob"? And why does the soundtrack to the Super Nintendo game based on this movie SLAP SO HARD?Tune into a very special FYHOD for answers to these questions and many, many more.FIND JANE AERITH MAGNET-DALE ON BLUESKY AND LINKTREE (@Janeiac)FIND LAURA KATE DALE ON BLUESKY AND TWITTER (@LAURAKBUZZ) AND CHECK OUT HER NEW STAR TREK PODCAST "WHERE EVERYBODY HAS GONE BEFORE"FIND MARCY O'DANIELS ON BLUESKY (@oshinai)FIND THE SHOW ON BLUESKY AND TWITTER (@FixYourHeartPod)FIND DANIELO SANFORDALAMENTI ON BLUESKY, TWITTER, BANDCAMP (@douibyorthst)STREAM "FIX YOUR HEART OR DIE: SONGS FROM THE PODCAST" ON SPOTIFY OR PURCHASE IT ON BANDCAMP!

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.FIND LAURA KATE DALE ON BLUESKY AND TWITTER (@LAURAKBUZZ) AND CHECK OUT HER NEW STAR TREK PODCAST "WHERE EVERYBODY HAS GONE BEFORE"FIND MARCY O'DANIELS ON BLUESKY (@oshinai)FIND THE SHOW ON BLUESKY AND TWITTER (@FixYourHeartPod)FIND DANIELO SANFORDALAMENTI ON BLUESKY, TWITTER, BANDCAMP (@douibyorthst)STREAM "FIX YOUR HEART OR DIE: SONGS FROM THE PODCAST" ON SPOTIFY OR PURCHASE IT ON BANDCAMP!

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.We'll see you next week for a new "Fish in the Percolator" but in the meantime, as always: FIX YOUR HEART OR DIE! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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!FIND LAURA KATE DALE ON BLUESKY AND TWITTER (@LAURAKBUZZ)FIND MARCY O'DANIELS ON BLUESKY (@oshinai)FIND THE SHOW ON BLUESKY AND TWITTER (@FixYourHeartPod)FIND DANIELO SANFORDALAMENTI ON BLUESKY, TWITTER, BANDCAMP (@douibyorthst)STREAM "FIX YOUR HEART OR DIE: SONGS FROM THE PODCAST" ON SPOTIFY OR PURCHASE IT ON BANDCAMP!
