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 "Eye of the Beholder" and "Twenty Two." “Eye of the Beholder” A desperate woman, her face encased in bandages, is awaiting the outcome of her 11th operation to make her look “normal.” “I want to be like everybody,” she pleads. 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 ho

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 “A World of His Own” and “The Howling Man.” From the Article: “A Nice Place to Visit” The Twilight Zone also delighted in dicking around characters in need of retribution. Another case in point: Rocky Valentine, a petty criminal shot to death. A jovial guide (Sebastian Cabot) in the afterlife tends to his every desire, giving him a swinging pad, sure-thing bank robberies, and beautiful dolls on demand. Sounds like heaven, right? This was the first episode to employ a classic Twilight Zone trope, in which the come-upper gets the last maniacal laugh at the eternal expense of the come-upped. (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

This week on Myopia Movies, we look back and we see how Michael Bay made his millions and why Matt wanted to remake this lost episode, we watched Transformers, who knew you could sexualize teens this much and still be considered a blockbuster.  Last week we released an episode preview for Casino Royale (1967), sign up for the Patreon for the full episode!

This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we try to get a man's bike back. We watched Pee-wee's Big Adventure, some say Pee-wee's bike is still out there...wait, Tim Burton directed what? Hey there beautiful, our Patreon is now live.

As a way to reward those who want more content and keep this show viable, we are offering a Patreon with extra episodes, exclusive content and much more.

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 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 te

Well, you know how at first, the party is novel? The second time its different, but great? Well, this is day four and you don't know if it is the same century or not. Welcome to Alien Resurrection, a hangover of a movie.  Host: Nic Panel: Daniel, Matt and Adam    

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 ey

This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we watch the l'ilest Rain Man. We saw The Wizard, so like the Power Glove was a complete waste of everyone's time, right?

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

Dear Friends and well wishers! Did you know there a pandemic on? Well, the boys here sure caught on! They invited former (and future) guest Candace to shoot the breeze and provide an update for the show, thank the Patrons, and explain a new and upcoming show, The Twilight Zone Zone! Host: Nic Hoffmann Panel: Daniel, Matthew and Candace. 

Dear All!  Welcome from the Bunker! We are social distancing and have burned through all of the back catalog of our favorite shows and realized we were late here! Don't worry though, we are planning fun new stuff to share with you and keeping it afloat! Stay safe and healthy! This month on the Patreon's only feed, we attempt to breathe fresh life into the franchise by going in a new direction and go too far! It's Aliens 3, turns out the Heaven's Gate Cult made it to space!  Host: Nic Panel: Steve, Matt, and Daniel
