Key Episodes: The Twilight Zone by Richard Matheson (1959-1963)
This recording is the third in a series that breaks down The Twilight Zone through its writing staff. If you'd like to visit (or revisit) the prior installments centering upon Jerry Sohl and Charles Beaumont, feel free to scroll down. You will not, however, miss out on any important context if you just dive in here.
Probably the most esteemed Twilight Zone writer who isn't Rod Serling, winnowing down Richard Matheson's episodes to a representational trio is a mental challenge to anyone who is even a little nerdy. As such, Ryan conscripted Rachel and Sylvan to select their personal favorites while he went with the obligatory "Nightmare At 20,000 Feet".
Talking points for this session include nostalgia, perceptions of reality, the fear of oblivion, and (unsurprisingly) the fear of flying. Rachel, oddly enough, restrains herself from doing a William Shatner impression, but Ryan does a (pretty terrible) approximation instead.
