Night of the Living Podcast: Horror, Sci-Fi and Fantasy Film Discussion
Joe Juvland and Freddy Morris discuss the haunting 1959 Twilight Zone episode "The Lonely", which follows the story of James A. Corry, a convicted prisoner serving a 50-year sentence in solitary confinement on a distant asteroid. The episode, which originally aired on CBS on November 13, 1959, explores themes of isolation, humanity, and the desperate need for connection. Corry, played by Jack Warden, claims his murder conviction was self-defense, and his only human contact comes through brief supply deliveries from Captain Allenby. The hosts delve into this classic science fiction tale that pushes the boundaries of what it means to be human in the most isolated circumstances imaginable.
For inmate James A. Corry, solitary confinement means life on an asteroid nine million miles from Earth. Corry craves human contact —so much so that he counts the minutes until a roving ship makes its annual drop-off of provisions. Corry may well be the loneliest man in the universe. But all of that is about to change. Because the supply ship is on its way, this time carrying a special package for Corry that will help him to forget his problems...and present him with a whole new dilemma. Sean Magers ( https://twitter.com/seanmagers ) and Keith Conrad ( https://twitter.com/keithrconrad ) are re-watching The Twilight Zone. Each week they share their reactions to each episode and even a little a little trivia along the way.
