Between Light and Shadow: A Twilight Zone Podcast

This week Craig welcomes the charming and erudite David J. Schow for an in-depth discussion of that venerable periodical Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone Magazine. I could go on, but really, I'd just be gushing. Just listen and be enthralled… if you dare.

The Twilight Zone Vortex is on a mission to review every issue of Twilight Zone Magazine:

Howdy pardners! This week we saddle up and transcend the shackles of time to corral the classic Twilight Zone episodes "Execution" and "Back There." Along the way host Craig does his usual drooling over Forbidden Planet props and related gadget porn, and somehow The Smiths make an unlikely appearance. Giddyup!

This week Craig takes a break from social distancing and continuous hand-washing and goes spelunking into the depths of the cavernous CBS Music Library in search of sonic treasures from the greatest film and television composer of all time: Bernard Herrmann. It's our longest episode to date, but only because it's stuffed to the proverbial gills with music… thankfully our loquacious host lets the music do (most of) the talking.

This week Craig drinks the alchemist's longevity potion and spends an eternity analyzing the classic Twilight Zone episodes "Long Live Walter Jameson" and "Queen of the Nile." It's a heady blend of Ken Burns-esque Civil War side trips, Nazi Germany flyovers, and ruminations on mortality. We Sphinx you'll really like it.

We're back! Love is in the air as Craig gazes seductively into the eyes of the first two Twilight Zone episodes he ever saw ("The Chaser" and "Jess-Belle"). Along the way he completely undermines his own efforts to be more "woke" when it comes to lusting after the opposite sex… just in time for Valentine's Day (which was two weeks ago, so our perfect record of always being late remains intact). It's a heady brew of Paley Center complaints, surprising Psycho tangents, and more cast connections than you can shake a silver hairpin at. Draw a warm bath, light some candles, and crack open the Courvoisier. Ooh la la!

Sheesh, astral projection phantom kids can be SO annoying, am I right? Join Craig as he sips some hot chocolate and digs into the classic Twilight Zone episode "Nightmare as a Child," then jumps forward 25 years into the future to give the 80's TZ effort "Little Boy Lost" the KID gloves treatment (ha! See what we did there?). Look (well, listen) for a guest appearance by Andrew Ramage of twilightzonemuseum.com fame, then revel in the triumphant return of Dr. Reba Wissner, our very own TZ Music Guru.

Boo! It's a word designed to scare… or to heckle a comedian. Somehow both definitions apply this week as Craig tackles his ultimate fear by watching two notoriously awful Twilight Zone comedies ("Mr. Bevis" and "Cavender is Coming"), and honestly, what's more terrifying than that? It's a Hallowe'en episode with a smile. Oh wait, that's not a smile…. that's a frozen mask of abject terror. Boo!

This week, Craig spins the cosmic roulette wheel in honor of the Twilight Zone classics "The Fever" and "The Prime Mover" while self-medicating an ongoing sinus malfunction with a single-malt Scotch. Take my advice and roll the dice, baby.

Check your bags and try to avoid a TSA cavity search as you board tonight's double-feature flight into the unknown. Craig takes the yoke and performs aerial maneuvers over, under and through the classic Twilight Zone episodes "The Last Flight" and "The Odyssey of Flight 33." In the final analysis, only one will emerge unscathed. Along the way Craig struggles with French pronunciations, extols the glory of stop-motion dinosaurs and powers through some kind of sinus malfunction. Mon dieu!
