Sometimes the simplest, most seemingly random objects can make a world of difference. In the twelfth episode of The Twilight Zone, an impish little salesman named Pedott has just what you need, but in the case of a Mr. Fred Renard…. it might not be what he wants. Nicole and Peter will open up this gift of an episode and discuss unseemly dollar bills, the full implications of Pedott’s powers, and the most brutal Rod Serling intro thus far.
