One down, one to go. In the penultimate installment of the show, host Craig does one final round of housekeeping and (not surprisingly) pimps his work on the Night Gallery Season 1 Blu-ray set.

Bug-eyed monster lovers rejoice! This week Craig dives deep into the pool of primordial goo that is the Outer Limits episode “Tourist Attraction.” TOL historian David J. Schow joins in to regale us with his bottomless sea of knowledge, plus Dr. Reba Wissner gives us the lowdown on the episode’s original music score. The whole affair is slimy... yet strangely satisfying. Get your David J. Schow literary fix right here: https://www.cimarronstreetbooks.com/ Get your own Ichthyosaurus Mercurius model kit here:...

This week, host Craig checks out “Reap What You Sow,” a fan-made Twilight Zone episode in the spirit of the original series, then gazes backward at his own (sadly unrealized) dream of creating... well, something along the same lines. Friend of the show Carson Cohen returns for some much-needed fact checking, then we wrap up with some reportage on an exciting Rod Serling-related crowdfunding campaign. Oh, it’s also Hallowe’en, which we’re apparently not observing at all this year. Boo indeed. Theme: “Neither Here nor There (Yet Another Revision version)”...

Have you ever wondered what the show might sound like with NO editing whatsoever? Like, NONE. And no script, either. No, really. We’re talking a solid hour of off-the-cuff yammering from host Craig with ZERO pre-planning (and zero production value). Listen... if you dare.

Submitted for your approval, part two of our epic study of Rod Serling’s World War II PTSD-demon-exorcizing Twilight Zone episodes. This time we’re neck-deep in the Pacific Theater side of things, which happens to be where Serling served---- so the episodes we’re covering (“The Purple Testament” and “A Quality of Mercy,” plus “The Encounter” for good measure) have an added bit of emotional and existential weight to ‘em. Listen with horror as host Craig tries to keep things light in the face of such grim thematic material. If nothing else, our old buddy Dr. Reba Wissner...

We’re back (after an unintentional 4-month absence) to dissect the classic Twilight Zone episodes “Judgment Night” and “Death’s-Head Revisited." Listen with horror as Craig tries valiantly to bring a sense of levity to the proceedings (spoiler alert: it doesn’t work). Achtung! Wanna hire the mega-talented Rick Sellers for some voiceover work?

This week Craig referees an epic bout between the classic Twilight Zone episodes “The Big Tall Wish” and “Steel.” One of ‘em will take home the championship belt, and the other will limp home with dashed hopes and shattered dreams. In between rounds, fan-favorite Dr. Reba Wissner pops in to give us the lowdown on the musical underscore. You can’t get this on Pay-Per-View, folks.

This week Craig mines a solid two more hours of priceless conversation with celebrated screenwriter David J. Schow from their legendary 5-hour epic recording session from late April.

info_outlineHappy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! This week’s episode has… um, nothing whatsoever to do with honoring mothers. Instead, Craig asks the age-old question: what do Christmas Eve in Alaska and a kid running for President have in common? The answer may surprise you. Episodes 4 and 5 of the new Twilight Zone series (“A Traveler” and “The Wunderkind”) are our research subjects this time around, and we’re gonna get all up in their business with our brand new microscope (from Whipple Industries™, of course).
