Summary
(WARNING: This podcast will SPOIL minor "preview-friendly" details for early parts of Death Stranding 2 ) In a very special episode of our community podcast Under The Sycamore Trees , Daniel "Shy" Fox is joined by Laura Kate Dale. In the spirit of true video game journalism, Laura is here with the hottest scoop imaginable: the upcoming Hideo Kojima game Death Stranding 2 is one of the most Lynchian works in modern media. Is there room in the AAA games space for sad dads who process emotions through methods besides violence? And how will Shy deal with his grief from the game's earliest plot twists? 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.
