Retro Fandango

Time for a very subjective list of our "Top Five" episodes of Rod Serling's classic Science Fiction series, The Twilight Zone (1959–64). We will highlight five standout episodes, one by one, and give what makes them great!

We're back to talk about Joe Piscopo!

"Dead Heat" (1988) is a cult classic action-horror-comedy film that blends buddy-cop tropes with zombie horror and dark humour.Directed by: Mark Goldblatt (better known as an editor on films like The Terminator and Commando)Starring:Treat Williams as Detective Roger MortisJoe Piscopo as Detective Doug BigelowLindsay FrostVincent Price (in one of his final roles)Darren McGavinWhile Dead Heat wasn’t a huge box office hit, it's appreciated by fans of 80s horror-comedy and has become a cult favourite thanks to its unique concept, offbeat humour, and nostalgic charm.

Looks like this is another episode that got stuck in a "draft vortex" and wasn't published. It was recorded 5 months ago and probably aged like fine milk, but... why let that stop me?

Remember when "Blame Canada" was a joke?

FYI, this is a very Trump-heavy episode. I'm finding it difficult to think about entertainment when my country is under attack.

One thing I'd like to correct:

When talking about the Canadian soldiers and the soup cans, I said "WW2" a couple of times when I meant "WW1." Sorry.

Here are some links that expand on what I talked about. Check these out for yourself. Go even further than the links I provide. Propaganda is hard for everyone to spot all of the time. Never take what someone says on YouTube or during a podcast at face value. Seek the truth from credible sources for yourself.
