It was a dark and stormy night, and David Ellington was only seeking shelter and some food. When the hermitage he stumbles across turns out to be located in The Twilight Zone, he gets something else entirely. Nicole and Peter will collapse into this consequential episode and discuss show rehearsals, selecting just the right howl, and former players for the Boston Celtics.
We hope you’ll join us.

Bartlett Finchley has always hated machines, but lately, they seem to be hating him back. If only there were something he could do!

Jackie Rhoades is long overdue for a serious heart-to-heart from someone who has been wanting to chat for a while, and is perhaps the only person Jackie will listen to: his own reflection. Nicole and Peter will take a peek at this minimalist episode and discuss exiting a gang, rear projection, and references in other episodes of American television.

A mysterious genie may be just what Edna and Arthur Castle need to turn the fortune of their curio shop around, but they’ll have to learn that wishes have consequences first.

In the final episode of the first season, we focus on a playwright named Gregory who has discovered a very special power in his way with words: the ability to bring his characters to life. Nicole and Peter dictate this episode and discuss the awful act of un-creating, the father-son duo who each starred in a Season 1 episode, and a very special appearance by Rod Serling.
We hope you’ll join us.

The Hoboken Zephyrs are a terrible baseball team having a terrible season when a new left-handed pitcher named Casey joins with the potential to turn their fortunes around. The thing is, Casey might not be altogether human. Nicole and Peter wind up this episode and discuss an abundance of sound design, potential grave-robbing, and why this episode needed two directors.

All Marsha White wants is a gold thimble as a present for her mother, but she gets that and much more when a suspicious elevator takes her to the nonexistent 9th floor of her local department store. Nicole and Peter pay cash for this episode and discuss the golden head of Anne Francis, impressively large sets, and an early appearance of the facekini.
We hope you’ll join us.
