Listen Later

This week, we're looking at the Twilight Zone episode "A Passage for Trumpet." It's the story of a down-on-his-luck musician named Joey Crown, played by Twilight Zone veteran Jack Klugman. Joey is happiest when he's playing trumpet for a crowd of eager fans. But, life isn't made up of only exciting music gigs. In our analysis of "A Passage for Trumpet," we'll talk about why Joey believes that the music only sounds good when he's drunk; we'll talk about this interesting in-between life and death space, with a couple of references to the movie Poltergeist; and I'll reveal my moment of awe. 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.
