KOI: A Twilight Zone Show - Escape Clause #6
If you were offered immortality, would you take it? In this week's episode of The Twilight Zone, Walter Bedecker is going to receive such an offer. In "Escape Clause," we are introduced to a man who is absolutely terrible--and I'm not talking about the Devil, who is also in the episode. Walter Bedecker is a horrible human being, but does he deserve this ending? Well, let's talk about it. We'll discuss immortality, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil from the Bible, the movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray, and whether or not we're more comfortable in misery than in happiness. Come on in and join us on this journey through the fifth dimension.

No show did a better job than The Twilight Zone at generating awe and wonder within its audience. It just so happens that awe is exactly what we need in these difficult, divisive times. So, join me, Joe Meyer, and let's walk through the fifth dimension with Rod Serling. Along the way, we'll discuss big questions and relate them back to our Twilight Zone episodes.
