Another Kind Of Distance: A Time Travel, Twin Peaks, Film, Doom Patrol And Nostalgia Podcast

In this “sampler” 'cast we consider three classic-series TWILIGHT ZONE episodes, “Walking Distance,” “A Stop at Willoughby,” and “The Trouble with Templeton,” which cover a range of narrative possibilities for time-travel scenarios of longing for the personal or cultural past. But what does it have to do with Freud's death drive? Or Leslie Fiedler's interpretation of American masculinity in LOVE AND DEATH IN THE AMERICAN NOVEL? Does Rod Serling's critique of the mid-century, middle-class American male gender role the key to the sub-genre Elise wants to call “morbid time travel”?   Special addendum: a rewatch of "Trouble With Templeton" reveals that the much-discussed script pages wind up in Templeton's pocket by accident - he grabs the script away from Laura at the table in order to stop her from using it as a prop in her flibbertigibbit act. So, in fact, she does not seem to have intended for him to have it. (Or did she wave it around in order to make him want to take it?) Please discuss!   Time (Travel) Tab
