Surprise, here's a new episode of The Twilight Highlight Zone with Jeff Cork and Ben Hanson! Years ago, we hosted this podcast where we debated and dissected each and every episode of the classic TV show The Twilight Zone and now we've come back from the dead to give you a most unusual new episode. We were contacted by Brandon Cruz, who hosts another Twilight Zone podcast called Submitted For Your Approval, and he asked us if we'd want to record a cross-over episode where we take a closer look at the episode A Most Unusual Camera. Since Jeff Cork and I had zero strong feelings about the episode, we couldn't resist another look. We hope you enjoy this fun episode, and be sure to check out Brandon's podcast or just send him some thanks over Twitter. Also, check out our ongoing other podcast where we break down every album from the band AFI for some reason! Listen to the podcast below (or subscribe to us on iTunes) to hear us reflect on the comedic tale of A Most Unusual Camera.

Hello Twilight Zone fans! Jeff Cork and I haven't forgotten about you, we promise. I don't know how to break it to you, but there's somebody else. We'll always have feelings toward you, but there's a hot new love in our life, and it's the band AFI. We wanted to make sure fans of The Twilight Highlight Zone podcast know that we started a spiritual-successor podcast that breaks down each and every album of the band AFI. It's called A Fire Inside Out and it's available on iTunes. It's a fun romp chronicling a drastically changing band full of plenty of entertaining tangents, so give it a listen even if you don't know or care about the specific band. Anyway, we'll see you in the new podcast feed! Thanks!

And we're back! I'm not sure if you recall, but fellow editor Jeff Cork and I recorded ourselves debating and dissecting each and every episode of the classic TV show The Twilight Zone. It took us a while to get back to it, but this is our first "bonus" episode of the podcast that goes above and beyond the original series. In 1983, and presumably made with the best intentions, Steven Spielberg produced a full-length movie dedicated to The Twilight Zone. Divided into four segments, mostly consisting of remakes of classic episodes, the movie has its highs and lows and is ripe for discussion. Feel free to watch the movie before you listen (it's available for streaming on Amazon) and join in on the dumb fun. Listen to the podcast below (or subscribe to us on iTunes) to hear us review and analyze each segment of Twilight Zone: The Movie in this extra long bonus episode of our podcast.

Well we did it. I'm sorry that it took so long for us to record and post this final episode, but we've finally come to the end of The Twilight Zone road. In our grand finale (not counting the bonus episodes that are on the way), Jeff Cork and I comb through all 156 episodes of the classic show and dish out some damning and praising awards. If you need a refresher on what we've been up to, our last episode was a recap and contains links to every episode of the podcast that we've recorded. So what is the best episode of The Twilight Zone? What is the worst? What's the dumbest thing from the entire series? Find out all that and more in our final awards show, which we lovingly call the "Mega-Franklins". Let us know what you think of our categories and winners in the comments below.

Look, I know we promised that today we'd be unleashing our Mega-Franklins that awarded the best and worst episodes for the entire run of the series, but we needed a little more time to make it the greatest podcast in recorded history. Instead, we decided to give you this fun bonus episode. After recording The Franklins for the fifth season, I kept the mics rolling as I surprised Jeff Cork with a pop quiz. I read off the title for all 156 episodes of The Twilight Zone to test how well we remember this show that we've devoted so much time to studying and debating. You can listen to the podcast below or subscribe to us on iTunes. Stay tuned next week for our ultimate awards show, it'll be fun. I hope this episode serves as a nice reminder of some episodes you might have forgotten.

Well we may have run out of new episodes of the original Twilight Zone, but that can't stop us from recording our dumb voices. Jeff Cork and I are capping off the fifth and final season of the show with our prestigious awards show. Which episodes will we hold above our heads and celebrate and which will we cast down into the dirt, forever to be forgotten? What is the best machine from the fifth season? Which episode's plot is needlessly complicated? Which great episode gets royally screwed due to our arbitrary rules? Find out by listening to the podcast below and feel free to subscribe to us on iTunes. Don't forget that we're on the hunt for new categories for our next episode, which will be an awards show for the entire five seasons. It's going to be a monster. Feed us your ideas in the comments below.

Holy smokes, we did it! This episode of the Twilight Highlight Zone marks the end of the fifth and final season of The Twilight Zone. If you've been watching along with us, that means that you can now say that you've watched all 156 episodes of one of the most well-known TV shows around. Did it end with a bang or a whimper? Check out this episode of the podcast to hear our thoughts. The final season had 36 episodes, so we're recapping six shows this week instead of our usual five. Think of that extra one as a bonus. Well, it's a bonus unless you realize that it's The Bewitchin' Pool. Bleargh. We'll be back in two weeks with our special season-five installment of our Franklin Awards, which highlights the best, worst, and weirdest parts of the season. After that, we're going to do a series-wide special Franklin Award blowout, covering the entire run of the show. Leave your suggestions for categories in the comments, and we'll give you a shout-out (and our undying love). If you need to catch up on our podcast, you can subscribe to it on iTunes. This episode covers the following episodes of the show: 31. The Encounter 32. Mr. Garrity and the Graves 33. The Brain Center at Whipple's 34. Come Wander with Me 35. The Fear 36. The Bewitchin' Pool

We're close. We're so close to the finish line we can taste it. Unfortunately, that finish line only exists... in the twilight zone. Alongside my buddy Jeff Cork, I'm running down the classic version of The Twilight Zone and blathering on about every detail. We're on the home stretch with the fifth season, and this is the second-to-last recap episode. This is an interesting block of episodes, with hangings, dummies, and dim-witted assassins. Listen to the podcast below or subscribe to us on iTunes to find out. The podcast above covers the following episodes from the fifth season... 26. I Am The Night, Color Be Black 27. Sounds And Silences 28. Caeser And Me 29. The Jeopardy Room 30.

Without spoiling too much, this is a pretty decent block of five episodes, featuring a couple of fairly well-known episodes and some completely forgettable nonsense.

Jeff Cork and I are continuing our journey through the fifth season of The Twilight Zone and are nearing the end of the road. In this episode we cover episodes 16-20 from the fifth season, which includes real gems like Night Call. A couple of these episodes get out of the gate really well.

We're nearing the half-way point of the final season of the Twilight Highlight Zone! Jeff Cork and I are discussing each and every episode of the classic TV series The Twilight Zone and we're speeding right through the fifth season. This batch of episodes has some potential, and a couple of them even pay off! Will it be the episode involving a magic ring or an autonomous car hell-bent on justice? You could probably guess, but watch the episodes along with us on Hulu and join in on the fun in the comments. Listen to the podcast below or subscribe to us on iTunes, the next episode of the podcast will be live next Monday! The podcast above covers the following episodes from the fifth season... 11.

After taking a few well-deserved (???) weeks off, Ben Hanson and I are back with our Twilight Highlight Zone podcast. If you're new to this thing, we're watching all of The Twilight Zone sequentially, and recapping our thoughts for you, the listening public. This week, we begin our trek into the show's fifth and final season. I'll just get this out of the way: This is a great block of episodes. They include stories about robotic boxers, magical stopwatches, and a very handsome boy who hangs out on airplane wings. I may have spoiled that with the image above. Sorry. I also spoiled the intro of this podcast with a nightmarishly terrible intro. Hanson said he'd fix it in post. I guess he's not a magician.  As always, we appreciate your comments. If you like what you hear (aside from our AMAZING intros), subscribe to us on iTunes. 1. In Praise of Pip 2. Steel 3. Nightmare at 20,000 Feet 4. A Kind of Stopwatch 5. The Last Night of a Jockey

The fourth season of The Twilight Zone was a long, wild ride. The hour-long format had a couple of surprising highs and some fully expected lows. Jeff Cork and I are here with a handful of fresh categories to give out with our "annual" Franklins awards for the episodes that really stood out. Which episode is the best? Which character was the worst? Which beloved "death ship" is most deserving of the name?! Learn all of that and more in the full podcast episode below or listen to it on iTunes. Be sure to let us know in the comments below what you thought of this season of the podcast and what you'd like to see in the future!

We end our look at Twilight Zone's fourth season with a cluster of appropriately bizarre episodes. My buddy Ben Hanson and I talk about space colonies, spooky boats, William Shakespeare, and more in our podcast. This is the final block of episodes from the show's hour-long experiment. For season five, the show reverted to its traditional 30-minute format. After sitting through some of the duds from this season, that change couldn't have come soon enough. How do these final three episodes fare? Tune in and find out. You can listen to the podcast below or subscribe on iTunes. In the next podcast , we'll be hosting our fourth episode of The Franklins, our prestigious awards ceremony. We'll cover the usual categories like Best Episode and Best Performance, but we'll have more than a few silly ones as well. Do you have any suggestions for awards? Let us know in the comments, and we'll give you a shout if we use yours! This podcast covers the following episodes from Twilight Zone's fourth season: 16. On Thursday We Leave for Home 17. Passage on the Lady Anne 18. The Bard

Jeff Cork and I are nearing the end of the longest and penultimate season of The Twilight Zone! We have six episodes to go before we can look back at season four and have a good laugh.

The podcast above covers the following episodes from the fourth season... 13. The New Exhibit 14. Of Late I Think of Cliffordville 15. The Incredible World of Horace Ford

If you've been watching The Twilight Zone along with Ben Hanson and me, this last block of episodes probably brought back flashbacks to some of the show's earlier offerings. Listen as we go back in time, visit outer space, and dream our brains out. I won't give too much away, but woof. Where's Robert Duvall when you need him? Our show's available on iTunes, too, so feel free (and encouraged!) to subscribe and rate us. This podcast covers the following episodes from the show: 10. No Time Like the Past 11. The Parallel 12.

We've tackled episodes 1-3 and 4-6 in previous podcasts, now we are knee-deep in the fourth season and have finally encountered our first hour-long gem. Which of these three episodes stand out as excellent and which contains an unexpected amount of jaguars? Only one way to find out: listen to us blather on about this old show! You can listen to the podcast below or subscribe and leave a review on iTunes. In this episode we cover the following episodes from the fourth season... 7. Jess-Belle 8. Miniature 9. Printer's Devil

After taking a break, we're back with a new episode of our Twilight Zone podcast. Last week, we kicked off our run through the show, starting with the first few episodes of the show's fourth season. Now we're past the point of no return.

After a brief hiatus, we're back! Jeff Cork and I are watching and discussing each and every episode of The Twilight Zone and we've made it up to the radical fourth season. The classic show changed its format from the typical thirty minute episodes to an hour-long for this season and so we are changing things on our end by taking a deeper dive into only three episodes at a time. You can listen to the podcast below or subscribe and leave a review on iTunes. In this episode we cover the following episodes from the fourth season... 1. In His Image 2. The Thirty-Fathom Grave 3. Valley of the Shadow

Jeff Cork and myself have finished watching every episode of The Twilight Zone up through the third season. After every season we like to take a little break and look back on some of the great and horrible moments and episodes with awards that we call The Franklins. We've dropped some dud categories from before and picked up some new ones that work well within season three, we hope you enjoy the show. Listen to the episode below (or on iTunes) and let us know what you'd like to see from the fourth season of The Twilight Highlight Zone in the comments.

Season three is done! If you've been playing along at home, we're watching every episode of The Twilight Zone, and recording our post-viewing thoughts in a podcast. See what we thought of the last seven episodes, which include body-swapping, aliens, and ventriloquism. We usually record these in five-episode blocks, but The Twilight Zone is a fickle beast. Season three had 37 episodes, so we decided to do an extended seven-episode recap with this episode of our podcast. You're welcome/sorry! Be sure to tune in to our next episode, which will be our special season-capping awards, The Franklins. If you have any ideas for fun awards categories or other suggestions, leave them in the comments section!  This podcast covers the following episodes: The Trade-Ins The Gift The Dummy Young Man's Fancy I Sing the Body Electric Cavendar is Coming The Changing of the Guard

If you're just joining us, we're watching the entire run of the show and gabbing about it each week. To keep things organized, we've been doing so in five-episode blocks.

This block includes one of the most memorable episodes from the show's entire run, as well as a performance from a young actor named William Shatner. That kid has potential!

The Eye of the Beholder 7. Nick of Time 8. The Lateness of the Hour 9. The Trouble with Templeton 10. A Most Unusual Camera We're also up on iTunes. If you like what we're doing, subscribe and pass on your feedback in the ratings.

And we're back! We apologize for the delay in posting this episode, but we wanted to have several weeks' worth of episodes in the can to ensure that we can keep posting these every Monday. For the newcomers, Jeff Cork and I are watching every episode of the classic run of The Twilight Zone and discussing the best and worst moments. We've already tackled the first season; you can find the archive here. We hope that the audio can stand on its own, but in a perfect world we'd like you to watch these episodes along with us by using any number of streaming services and participate in the discussion below. Also, our little podcast is now on iTunes for your listening convenience! Your subscription and honest review would mean the world to us! This episode of the podcast covers the first five episodes of the second season, which include... 1. King Nine Will Not Return 2. The Man in the Bottle 3. Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room 4. A Thing About Machines 5. The Howling Man

The votes are in! After powering through the first season, Ben Hanson and I are handing out our awards for Twilight Zone excellence. Check out this special episode to see what moments, actors, and more made the cut as we look back over season one. Thanks to the commenters on last week's episode for submitting some excellent categories. I hope I'm not spoiling anything when I say that this is the best episode ever. Don't believe me? Hit the play button below and see/hear for yourself. Why would I lie to you? Do I look like the physical manifestation of dishonesty in a poorly scripted melodrama or something? Sheesh. Ben and I have been having a great time putting these together, and we're looking forward to digging into season two of the show in a few weeks. We will be taking a month or so off, as we catch up on the episodes and do life stuff. In the meantime, thanks for the feedback and support. We really do appreciate it.

It's Monday, which can mean only one thing: It's time for a new episode of the Twilight Highlight Zone. Ben Hanson and I are watching every episode of the classic sci-fi show and sharing our important thoughts. Join us! We're in the home stretch, with only one more episode to go before the end of season one. I feel like I've learned a lot so far. People used to be far more attractive. Hanson likes to use fancy film-school terms. And slot machines used to have little tiny legs. As always, we invite you to watch the show on Netflix (or wherever finer shows from the late '50s / early '60s are streamed) and join in the discussion. This week's podcast covers the following episodes: 26. Execution 27. The Big Tall Wish 28. A Nice Place to Visit 29. Nightmare as a Child 30. A Stop at Willoughby And if you've somehow managed to miss out on a previous episode (GASP!), you can catch up by clicking the appropriate links below.
