Join Joe Juvland and Freddy Morris as they unravel one of The Twilight Zone's most chilling commentaries on human nature. In this episode, they examine "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street," where a peaceful suburban neighborhood transforms into a hotbed of suspicion and hysteria after a mysterious power outage. The hosts explore how Rod Serling masterfully used this tale to hold up a mirror to 1960s Cold War paranoia, while showing how frighteningly relevant its message remains today. Joe and Freddy break down the episode's brilliant escalation of tension, its stark warning about mob mentality, and that gut-punch of an ending that reminds us that humanity's greatest enemy often lurks within ourselves. Through their engaging discussion, they reveal why this story of neighbors turning against neighbors continues to resonate with audiences decades later, proving that sometimes the scariest monsters aren't aliens at all - they're us.

We're changing streams with this episode and starting a series about the stuff Chucky saw on TV in "Chucky" season 3! We're starting with the TV episode that arguably started it all: "Living Doll" from season 5 of "The Twilight Zone"!

TVC 689.3: Ed welcomes back singer, actress, and philanthropist Ruta Lee (High Rollers, Witness for the Prosecution, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Consider Your Ass Kissed). Ruta will celebrate her ninetieth birthday this coming Friday, May 30 with an evening of song and stories at the Debbie Reynolds Main Stage at the historic El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood. Proceeds for the evening will support The Thalians, the charitable organization to which Ruta has dedicated much of her life over the past sixty years, and which to date has raised has raised more than $50 million for mental health related causes. (NOTE: Though Ruta's performance on May 30 has sold out, you can still make a donation to The Thalians in any amount by going to Thalians.org.) Among other topics this segment, Ruta shares a few memories of co-starring opposite Patrick O'Neal in “A Short Drink from a Certain Fountain,” an episode of The Twilight Zone from 1963 that Ruta considers one of her all-time favorite television performances, not only because of the character she played, but for the opportunity to perform the words of the great Rod Serling. Ruta also tells Ed why her experience filming Sergeants 3 (1962) with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop—and hanging out with the Rat Pack in general—ranks as her “favorite time in life.”

This episode of Let Us Be Idiots can be divided into the following segments, listed chronologically: Starting with Matteo Pascale promoting and plugging his latest blog post on crooklyncomedy.com, titled “Matteo Pascale Commissioned Momus For A Song of Cover The Horrors, “ this segment, of course, bleeds into with Matteo Pascale presenting on the episode, the song cover of The Horrors' “Still Life” that he commissioned Momus to do.  To properly set up how strange. This episode's dialogue segment happened to be. Matteo Pascale created a gag introduction/bumper. Consisting of the iconic opening monologue from The Twilight Zone, mixed with the theme intro music to The X Files. It has to be mentioned, cuz it's funny. In this Let Us Be Idiots episode's dialogue segment, Mike Recine's thoughts regarding the discussion we had over the phone and what was being said during this phone call were so strange that he was baffled for a considerable part of it.  The episode's final segment is ALL things Senator John Fetterman, with Let Us Be Us very own regular, Big Chief, aka John LoCicero, a former elected official, then appointed official for New York City. ***Outro Rap lyrics were written and performed by @jdange23 and the beat was produced by Matteo Pascale.***All other content can be found on the website: https://www.crooklyncomedy.com/Crooklyn Comedy and Let Us Be Idiots Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=66644629Social media links:Main Twitter: https://twitter.com/MatteoPascaleCrooklyn Comedy Twitter: https://twitter.com/CrooklynComedyMain Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedianmatteopascale/Crooklyn Comedy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crooklyncomedy/Let Us Be Idiots Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letusbeidiots/Matteo Pascale's Website: https://www.crooklyncomedy.com/

Step into a world of doppelgangers and paranoia as Joe Juvland and Freddy Morris tackle "Mirror Image," a psychological thriller that makes us question our very existence. The hosts dive deep into this haunting Twilight Zone episode, where a young woman's mundane bus station wait turns into a nightmare when she encounters her exact double. Through their riveting discussion, Joe and Freddy explore how Rod Serling crafted one of the series' most memorable stories about identity and parallel universes, breaking down the brilliant performance by Vera Miles and the episode's lasting influence on horror and science fiction. They unpack the unsettling implications of meeting your own reflection come to life, and how this deceptively simple premise taps into our deepest fears about who - or what - might be waiting to replace us.

For this week's Twilight Zone episode, we're taking a look at “A Thing About Machines.” Bartlett Finchley is a man with refined cultural tastes, especially when it comes to flairs of the verbal kind. However, when machines are involved, he just can't seem to find the words to express just how much he despises them. And, truth be told, they hate him right back. But, how does one fight the inevitable onslaught of technological advancement? If you have the answer, you might just let Finchley know–although his phone is currently out of service. As we walk through “A Thing about Machines,” we're going to be diving into whether or not the machines are actually worse than Finchley himself; we'll talk about how the relationship between humans and technology might be evolving in the future (and it's not what you think); finally, I'll reveal my moment of awe, just some musings on why we can't always see each other in the best of lights when we need it most.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. We're walking through Rod Serling's class Twilight Zone series and asking difficult questions about life. So, if you love The Twilight Zone, science fiction, or even just philosophizing about life, consider joining us on this journey. There's always room for more.

Tavasszal jelent meg Török Ábel első regénye, a harmadik ég, ami egy különleges hangulatú történet a távoli észak apró falvának lakóiról. A fülszöveg alapján mágikus faluregény, de mágia sokszor csak nyomokban van jelen a meseszerű, lassan hömpölygő és nagyon szép történetben. Mivel nem nagyon olvastunk még hasonló regényt, adta magát, hogy Török Ábel legyen a Nem rossz könyvek vendége. Aki amúgy bizantinológus, épp a doktoriján dolgozik, és mellette a 13.-14. századi középgörög nyelvű nemzeti eposzt, a Moreai Krónikát fordítja magyarra, így persze ezek a témák is szóba kerültek. A tartalom: 00:00 Pár könyv, amit mostanában olvastunk-olvasunk: Christian Kracht - Eurotrash, Nona Fernández - The Twilight Zone, Kirsten Thorup - Őrülten és halálosan és Rachel Cusk - Parádé 6:10 Vendégünk Török Ábel, témánk a harmadik ég. De mi is ez a könyv? És mit jelent a fülszövegben szereplő mágikus faluregény? És miért fontosak a mesék? Az emlegetett korábbi kötet: A gonosz erdő meséi. 11:05 A harmadik ég és az észak motívuma 23:40 Írói világépítések és a történet vállalt egyszerűsége: nem az a lényeg, hogy mit mesélsz, hanem az, hogy hogyan 29:30 Egyszerre két véget a regényben: rendkívüli képességekkel megáldott, különleges emberek és a leghétköznapibb drámák és örömök. Nem túl fontos varázslatok szerepe és a mi a teendő a világ varázstalanításával szemben? 36:15 Mit csinál egy bizantinológus, és hat-e az írásra, ha valakinek amúgy a késő-bizánci hősköltészet a kutatási területe? 42:50 Három könyv Török Ábel ajánlásában: Hérodotosz: A görög-perzsa háború, Mesefolyamok óceánja I.-II. és Edward Stachura - Szekercelárma See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Joe Juvland and Freddy Morris as they venture into one of The Twilight Zone's most unsettling spaces - a seemingly perfect asteroid where nothing is quite what it seems. In their fascinating breakdown of "Elegy," the hosts unpack this twisted tale of three astronauts who land on a mysterious world frozen in time, complete with motionless carnivals, static baseball games, and an eccentric caretaker named Jeremy Wickwire. Through their engaging conversation, Joe and Freddy explore how this episode brilliantly plays with our perception of paradise, turning an idyllic setting into something far more sinister, while examining Rod Serling's masterful commentary on humanity's eternal quest for peace - and the price we might pay to find it.
