Strange Highways

This week Terry and Paul are joined by Steve from the Invasion of the Podcast to talk about 1983's Twilight Zone: The Movie. Does the spirit of the original series translate well to the big screen? Bonus: one of the most random paragraphs you will ever hear read aloud comes courtesy of Twilight Zone: The Movie: The Book.  

This week Terry and Paul are joined by friend of the show Richard as they look back on Season 5 of the Twilight Zone, provide their Bottom 5, Most Frustrating 5, and Top 5 episodes of the season. 

Thanks to everyone that has listened and supported the show over the past 5 years. It's been a wonderful ride through the original series. Don't worry, we still have many more miles to go on Strange Highways!

This week with the season 5 and series wrap up of the original Twilight Zone, Terry and Paul walk right up to the edge of the Bewitchin' Pool, stare down at it and agree that these are not waters they want to swim in. Does Earl Hamner Jr. have the last laugh? Next week, a look back on season 5!

This week Terry and Paul went looking for a pickle barrel wheeler dealer and ended up meeting Ms. Charlotte Scott and Trooper Robert Franklin. He is there to check our her reports of lights in the sky and she is there to hide from the world. Soon they will encounter something neither one of them could have ever imagined... 

This week Terry and Paul are just trying to find their way to Norfolk when they meet Mr. Floyd Burney, a rockabilly singer in search of a new hit song. He soon hears a haunting melody and follows it into the woods to find its source...

This week Terry and Paul somehow get fired by Mr. Wallace V. Whipple even though they don't work for him.  Wallace believes that key to efficiency and profit is through computers and automation. He doesn't see a downside to replacing everyone around him with machines... 

This week Terry and Paul wander into Happiness, Arizona, a quiet town with a very violent past, and meet Mr. Jared Garrity, a traveling salesmen of sorts. Garrity tells the townsfolk that he can resurrect the dead and will do so at midnight tonight...

This week Terry and Paul get stuck in a hot and sweaty attic with Fenton, a WWII veteran that blames the world for his problems, and Arthur, a Japanese American that has his own history with the war as well. Tensions escalate, secrets come to light, and a samurai sword keeps turning up... 

This week Terry and Paul wake up with hangovers and fully clothed in bed together and meet Mr. and Mrs. Frazier, a couple that had too much to drink the night before and find themselves in a small town that is not their own. A town with no people and most everything, including the squirrels, appear to be fake...

This week Terry and Paul don't drink the obviously suspicious wine as they meet Major Ivan Kuchenko, an escaped political prisoner trying to get overseas to freedom. What stands in his way though is his former torturer, 3 hours, and bomb planted somewhere in his hotel room...
