So when the police find tracks leading to a diner, they enter with a bit of anxiety: is one of the people in this establishment a visitor from another planet? The bus driver swears that he picked up 6 passengers, and yet there are 7 in the room--8 if you count the cafe owner. There's a mystery to be solved. And when lights start to blink, jukeboxes start playing on their own, and bowls of sugar exploding for no reason at all, things are starting to get serious.This week we're taking a look at the Twilight Zone episode "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up."

Since Mic sometimes mentions the Twilight Zone episode titled "The Shelter" for it's Only-For-Us prepper trope, he figured it was time to actually take a DoomCast look at it. Mic, Jeff, and Brian re-watched the episode (Season 3, episode 3, October 1961) as a refresher.

Spoiler alert: this week we're analyzing the Twilight Zone episode “The Mind and the Matter.” Archibald Beechcroft is tired–tired of the constant pushing and shoving, the incessant sounds, the scurrying about like rodents. In short, he's tired of people. And so when a colleague at work gifts him a strange book titled The Mind and the Matter, which boasts the ability to unlock the amazing, colossal, stupendous power of concentration, Beachcroft is understandably skeptical. But, his skepticism begins to shift when he finally starts to put it to use. In this week's KOI episode, we're going to talk a bit about this whole mind over matter concept; we'll try and figure out why he's seeing these reflective manifestations of himself; and I'll reveal my moment of awe, a rationale for why we could probably use a few more pains in the butt these days.

We wrap up this month of my favorite movies with Seven Days in May - John Frankenheimer's tense Cold War drama about a planned coup d'etat in the United States. With a script from Rod Serling and an amazing cast, it's a thriller that holds up over sixty years later. We'll hear three of its stars: Kirk Douglas, who plays the Army officer who discovers the plot; Edmond O'Brien as the rascally senator enlisted to help save the day; and Fredric March as the president facing removal - a man committed to doing the right thing even if it's unpopular. Douglas stars in "The Story of Markham's Death" (originally aired on CBS on October 2, 1947); O'Brien stars in "Muddy Track" (originally aired on CBS on November 11, 1948); and March stars in "The Night Reveals" (originally aired on CBS on May 26. 1949). Plus - a bonus Suspense story of Cold War espionage: "The Case for Dr. Singer" (originally aired on CBS on June 28, 1951).

Guilt has a way of finding you, no matter how far you run or how loudly you laugh it off. That is the dark thread binding our two episodes together this month, as we dig into a pair of Twilight Zone classics that each ask what really happens when a man refuses to answer for his actions. Both "The Jungle" and "You Drive" pit rational, modern men against forces that defy explanation, and we break down how Rod Serling and company used the supernatural not as spectacle, but as moral reckoning. Denial, arrogance, and the desperate need to believe we control our own fate are all on the table. In "The Jungle," Alan Richards returns from Africa scoffing at a witch doctor's curse, only to find New York City slowly transforming into something far more primal and terrifying around him. In "You Drive," hit-and-run driver Oliver Pope thinks he can outrun his guilt until his own car develops a conscience and refuses to let him. Both men are undone not by monsters from the outside, but by the very thing they refused to face within themselves. Could the most dangerous force in the universe simply be a guilty conscience with nowhere left to hide?   Connect with Entering the Fifth Dimension: Facebook community Follow us on Twitter Contribute Listener Feedback

Spoiler alert: We're discussing important portions of this episode, so if you have not yet seen the episode, I encourage you to watch it first, and then come back and enjoy our analysis. This week, we're analyzing the Twilight Zone episode "Shadow Play." Adam Grant stands before a courtroom waiting to hear if he will be found guilty of murder and sent to the electric chair. And yet, he seems rather distant, not quite present for such an important moment in his life. That is until the jury finds him guilty, and the judge issues the sentence: death by electric chair. To this, Adam can only laugh. "No!," he screams, bringing his fist down on the table. "You can't make me die again." You see, Mr. Grant has already been through this many times: the judge, the jury, even the execution--a recurring nightmare. But, will this time be different? Will he make his way out of the dream before he has to feel the volts kick him back awake again? For his sake, I hope so.In this episode, we'll ask the question if Adam can ever beat the dream and stay alive; we'll ponder if he is just lucid dreaming, or if there is something else going on; and I'll reveal my moment of awe, one that is based upon an email that I received from a friend of the show. So, grab your keys, and let's unlock this door to the fifth dimension. As always, spoiler alert. If you have note seen the episode, go check it out and then come back here for the analysis.
