The Twilight Zone Zone - Episode 13: “To Serve Man” and “The Dummy”

bonusE

Every week on The Twilight Zone Zone,we go down Donald Liebenson’s list The 26 Episodes We Talk About When We Talk About The Twilight Zone from Vanity Fair, chronologically by release date and compare two episodes and choose which one to recommend. This week we watched “To Serve Man” and “The Dummy” “To Serve Man” Kanamits, nine-foot-tall creatures from outer space, promise they have come to our planet, “above all things, to help the people of Earth.” They have no ulterior motive, they reassure: “We ask only that you trust us.” Which leads to The Twilight Zone’s darkest and most famous punch line. This episode is also notable for inspiring the aliens Kodos and Kang on The Simpsons. “The Dummy” It’s a battle of wills between Jerry (Cliff Robertson), a second-rate nightclub ventriloquist, and Willie, 24 inches of timber, who Jerry is convinced is alive. “He talks when I don’t talk. He tells jokes I’ve never heard before,” he insists to his long-suffering agent (a pre-Gomer Pyle Frank Sutton). Unsteadying expressionistic camerawork by director Abner Biberman anticipates which personality will win out with an absolutely creepy final shot. There are many paths in life, but which one will you travel down in the Twilight Zone, Zone… Host: Nic Hoffmann Panel: Matthew and Daniel

Twilight Zone Zone Episode 12: “Five Characters in Search of an Exit” and “Nothing in the Dark”

bonusE

Every week on The Twilight Zone Zone,we go down Donald Liebenson’s list The 26 Episodes We Talk About When We Talk About The Twilight Zone from Vanity Fair, chronologically by release date and compare two episodes and choose which one to recommend. This week we watched “Five Characters in Search of an Exit” and “Nothing in the Dark.” “Five Characters in Search of an Exit” The setup is a little bit Saw and a little bit Waiting for Godot: an Army major (William Windom) finds himself in a circular enclosure with no doors, no windows, and no ceiling. He has no idea who he is or how he got there. And he’s not alone; present, but more resigned to their situations, are a clown, a ballerina, a hobo, and a bagpiper. This episode gives new meaning to the eternal question, “Why are we here?” Your mileage may vary as to the ultimate answer, but the questions posed (“How long will we be here?” “What’s up there?”) are profound in or out of The Twilight Zone. “Nothing in the Dark” Many actors got their start on the Zone—none more famously than Robert Redford, who appears here as a policeman who is shot outside of the door of an elderly woman who refuses to leave her condemned apartment for fear of being taken by “Mr. Death.” For more before-they-were-big moments, see Robert Duvall in “Miniature,” Burt Reynolds in “The Bard,” and Charles Bronson in “Two.” There are many paths in life, but which one will you travel down in the Twilight Zone, Zone… Host: Nic Hoffmann Panel: Matthew, Jeremy and Daniel

Twilight Zone Zone Episode 11: “Deaths-Head Revisited” and "The Midnight Son"

bonusE

Every week on The Twilight Zone Zone,we go down Donald Liebenson’s list The 26 Episodes We Talk About When We Talk About The Twilight Zone from Vanity Fair, chronologically by release date and compare two episodes and choose which one to recommend. This week we watched “Deaths-Head Revisited” and "The Midnight Son" The Obsolete Man”/“Deaths-Head Revisited” A tie: these are two Serling-penned episodes whose messages feel distressingly relevant. In the first, Burgess Meredith stars as a librarian deemed obsolete by the totalitarian state and sentenced to death, though he gets to choose his manner of execution. In the second, a former SS captain returns to Dachau, where he encounters a former prisoner. These episodes are Serling at his most impassioned. When it comes to ideologies that fail to recognize the rights and dignity of man, or a race determined to “turn the Earth into a graveyard,” metaphor alone won’t cut it. “The Midnight Sun” The Earth has changed its elliptical orbit and is headed toward the sun. In an abandoned New York apartment building, two women try to stave off their fate and retain their humanity. This is one of the most viscerally felt Twilight Zone episodes. You jump when a precious can of fruit juice is accidentally dropped; you sweat when the power operating the air conditioning is shut off; and you melt like paint on a canvas as a thermometer shatters. And then comes the episode’s switcheroo, which is so, so cold.

The Twilight Zone Zone - Episode 10: "The Grave” and “It’s a Good Life”

bonusE

Every week on The Twilight Zone Zone,we go down Donald Liebenson’s list The 26 Episodes We Talk About When We Talk About The Twilight Zone from Vanity Fair, chronologically by release date and compare two episodes and choose which one to recommend. This week we watched "The Grave” and “It’s a Good Life” “The Grave” Months before Lee Marvin, Strother Martin, and Lee Van Cleef starred in John Ford’s classic Western The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, they co-starred in this episode, a Western ghost story (ghostern?) about a gunman who is dared to make a midnight visit to the grave of the freshly gunned-down killer he relentlessly pursued but failed to capture. It boasts a great script, eerie atmosphere, and Lee Marvin at his Lee Marvin-est (“I don’t get my nerve from this gun . . . I had it long before I could even pick one of them up”). And the ending is a real grabber. “It’s a Good Life” The twist is revealed right up top: the monster who has made the world go away, save for his rural Ohio village, is a six-year-old boy (Bill Mumy) who can read thoughts, control even the weather with his mind, and transform those who would wish him harm into “grotesque walking horror.” Demon kids are always creepy, but this episode plays like the ultimate nightmare of a society destroyed by the spoiled children of overindulgent parents. (Yes, The Simpsons did this one, too, with Bart as the monster.)

This week we watched “The Obsolete Man” and “A Game of Pool” “The Obsolete Man” Burgess Meredith stars as a librarian deemed obsolete by the totalitarian state and sentenced to death, though he gets to choose his manner of execution. “A Game of Pool” A sure-bet episode featuring two stellar performances by Jack Klugman and Jonathan Winters, playing it straight and cool as the late “Fats” Brown, a champion pool player who takes Klugman’s Randolph Street pool jockey at his word when he says he would do anything for just one game against the dead legend. This episode boasts some great dialogue (“Nothing’s impossible; some things are less likely than others”), and sage observations about the risks needed to become a champion and the responsibilities of carrying on a legacy.

This week we watched "The Long Distance Call” and “Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?” “Long Distance Call” You can explore the vast reaches of The Twilight Zone and not find an episode as profoundly messed up as this one. On her deathbed, a five-year-old boy’s grandmother bemoans how lonely she will be “far away,” and wishes aloud that her beloved Billy could go with her. Worst. Grandma. Ever. “Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?” Take mysterious footprints leading away from a pond where an unidentified flying object has crashed, a snowbound diner, and six (or was that seven?) stranded bus passengers, and you’ve got yourself a “regular Ray Bradbury.” Which one of them is the monster from outer space? This entertaining episode plays like a supernatural William Saroyan play (complete with a colorful coot portrayed by Jack Elam), with one of the series’s most famous reveals.

Every week on The Twilight Zone Zone,we go down Donald Liebenson’s list The 26 Episodes We Talk About When We Talk About The Twilight Zone from Vanity Fair, chronologically by release date and compare two episodes and choose which one to recommend. This week we watched "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" and "The Living Doll." We are always joined this week by guest Ben Worcester (co-host of the Hooked on TJ Hooker Podcast, check it out for more William Shatner talk!) “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” The Twilight Zone knows what scares you—like flying, or the desperation you might feel when when you’re the only one who knows of an impending disaster, but no one believes you. One of the series’s most famous episodes mostly gets its rep from the before-he-was-Kirk casting of William Shatner, as a man just released from a mental hospital who tries to—wait for it—klingon to his sanity when he spies outside his window seat a monster tearing at the airborne airplane’s wing. The costumed boogeyman hasn’t aged well, but Shatner is first class. “Living Doll” June Foray, the voice of Rocket J. Squirrel and Natasha Fatale on The Bullwinkle Show, was the also the original voice of Chatty Cathy, the iconic pull-string talking doll released by Mattel in 1959. Chatty Cathy said sweet things like, “Let’s play house.” But Talky Tina, also voiced by Foray, says things like, “My name is Talky Tina, and I’m going to kill you.” This she says to Telly Savalas, a grumpy new stepdad who resents his stepdaughter’s new doll. Like Tina warns, he’ll be sorry. In the meantime, please continue to rate and review us!

In a state where “ugliness” is a crime, she faces segregation to a ghetto with other unfortunates like herself. Douglas Heyes’s artful misdirection keeps the quintessential Zone reveal under wraps. “Twenty Two” This episode offered a plum role to Barbara Nichols, often cast in films as brassy comic relief (as in Where the Boys Are). Here, she plays a stripper (excuse me; professional dancer) hospitalized for a nervous breakdown. She is haunted by a recurring dream—or is it?—that brings her to the door of room 22, the hospital morgue, where a nurse greets her by saying, “Room for one more, honey.” In the meantime, please continue to rate and review us!

(See also on this list: “The Grave” and “Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?”) “The Howling Man” You’re lost in a torrential storm. You seek refuge in a foreboding castle.

This week we watched “The Hitch-Hiker” and “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street.” By the way, some of you may be wondering, where the episode was last week? Well, last week we released a full episode on Alien Resurrection for the Patreon only! Join us, for all the back catalogue, special episodes, and monthly newsletter! There will even be an additional full movie episode this month! From the Article: “The Hitch-Hiker” One of The Twilight Zone’s most insinuating nightmares. There are a couple of effective jump starts, but for the most part, this is a slow dread of an episode. Inger Stevens stars as 27-year-old Nan Adams, driving cross-country. Emerging unscathed from a blown-out tire (“By rights . . . somebody should have called for a hearse,” a mechanic tells her), she is haunted by a seemingly omnipresent hitchhiker. You can probably guess where this one’s heading, but like the “shabby, silly-looking scarecrow man” himself, this episode is hard to shake. “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" “We are in a time where we fear the other,” Jordan Peele told his audience following the premiere screening of Us at South by Southwest. “Maybe the monster that we’re looking at has our face.” This was a recurring theme on The Twilight Zone—and it reached its bleakest apotheosis in this first-season nightmare, in which an idyllic suburban street runs riot from a creeping paranoia that pits neighbor against neighbor. “For the record,” Serling intones at the episode’s end, “prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy . . . and the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the ‘Twilight Zone.’” It’s like Serling was looking right into our souls.

Every week on The Twilight Zone Zone,we go down Donald Liebenson's list The 26 Episodes We Talk About When We Talk About The Twilight Zone from Vanity Fair, chronologically by release date and compare two episodes and choose which one to recommend. This week we watched “One for the Angels” and "Walking Distance." From the article: “Time Enough at Last” Burgess Meredith gives a tour-de-force performance as a milquetoast bespectacled bookworm married to a shrew (again with the shrews!) who denies him his precious reading time. An atomic explosion leaves him the last man on Earth, with all the time in the world. He joyously finds his lifesaving Eden—but The Twilight Zone wasn’t big on happy endings. Along with the episode “Night Call,” this is possibly the series’s cruelest half-hour. “Third from the Sun” On “the eve of the end,” with a nuclear holocaust a mere 48 hours away, two scientists and their families plan to escape on an experimental spaceship. Their getaway, under the suspicious and watchful eye of their superior, is the meat of this tense episode—but strap yourself in for the reveal, one of the series’s best. Our Patreon is now live.

The Twilight Zone Zone Episode 1: “One for the Angels” and "Walking Distance"

bonusE

Every week on The Twilight Zone Zone, we go down Donald Liebenson's list The 26 Episodes We Talk About When We Talk About The Twilight Zone from Vanity Fair, chronologically by release date and compare two episodes and choose which one to recommend. This week we watched “One for the Angels” and "Walking Distance." From the article: “One for the Angels” Throughout the series, Serling and company displayed great compassion for society’s seemingly commonplace and unimportant denizens. Case in point: Sidewalk pitchman Lou Bookman (a perfectly cast Ed Wynn), who outwits Death to earn a stay on Earth—but at what price? The Twilight Zone could make you scream, but there are several episodes, like this one, that can also make you cry. “Walking Distance” Gig Young stars as Martin Sloan, age 36, an ad man “living in a dead run,” who finds himself back in his hometown during the summer when he was 11 years old. This is the best of Serling’s midlife-crisis reveries—certainly more optimistic than the downbeat “A Stop at Willoughby.” Between Serling’s poetic closing narration and Bernard Herrmann’s moving score, if you cried at the end of Field of Dreams, this episode will wreck you. our Patreon is now live.
