STAR TREK REWIND: “Carbon Creek”
“They revel in violence. They devote what little technology they have to devising ways of killing each other.” Three Vulcans walk into a bar! No, really. They did. They really did. I’d estimate it’s been about two months since Archer returned from the 31st century with a big can of whoop-ass he opened on Silik.…

Monkees vs. Macheen: “The Picture Frame”
“What’s My Motivation?” “The Picture Frame” starts out with the “Hurray for Hollywood” sound-alike incidental music and the sign for the fictional Mammoth Studios, first used in “I’ve Got a Little Song Here.” Some previous episodes where the Monkees tried to break into show biz were “Captain Crocodile,” “Find the Monkees,” “Monkees at the Movies,”…

“‘M’ for Mankind”
This is rare that we have two stone-cold classics in “The Obsolete Man” starring our old friend, Burgess Meredith, the second season finale of Twilight Zone, and then we wrap it up tonight with “Two”, the third season premiere of Twilight Zone starring Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery. I couldn’t finish this season with only…

“A Regular Ray Bradbury”
“The Mind and the Matter”, written by Rod Serling and directed by Buzz Kulik is episode 63 of the American television anthology series, The Twilight Zone. It originally aired on May 12, 1961 on CBS. That’s from the Wikipedia. The subject matter is prescient; being what our society, in this modern age, has had to endure…

“Our Lips Are Sealed”
So, here we are again in the Privileged Men’s Club, Masters of the Universe, sitting in nicely-appointed surroundings, upholstered armchairs, pipes and cigars, pasty-faced old money and new money hob-knobbing, like they do. They still do it, but I don’t think the clubs exist anymore, or maybe they exist as fronts for lobbying-concerns and initiatives.…

“Men Are from Mars”
I want to start off by saying I love Burgess Meredith. He’s exceptional in just about everything he ever did. If you wanted Burgess Meredith, you got Burgess Meredith as – the Penguin in Batman, as Henry Bemis, the man who breaks his glasses after a nuclear apocalypse, as the “Dingle” here, as “The Obsolete…

“Room for One More, Honey”
So, we have two episodes that are personal favorites of mine. I love these episodes, and yes, they do have numbers in their titles. I remember posting on the Twilight Zone Facebook group, asking how many people could name episodes with numbers in their titles. I got a lot of responses; it’s a great crowd…

Eve Kerrigan is one of my favorite guests to have on the show. I like her. I like talking to her. The listeners like her as well. We’ve gotten a few messages praising Eve, for her insights, her incredible knowledge, so she’s like my star, my discovery for podcasting and it’s great having her to…
