Surprise! It's the second "annual" Franklins! Jeff Cork and I are watching every episode of The Twilight Zone and recording our thoughts in the form of a podcast. We've just wrapped the second season and, much like we did for the first season, we're using our fresh perspective to award Franklin awards to the best and worst episodes and moments in a dozen or so absurd categories. Listen to the podcast episode below to learn the second season's best twist, best alien, our favorite episode, and more! Click here to subscribe to this podcast on iTunes.

Thanks for listening, and let us know what you'd like from the third season of The Twilight Highlight Zone. Also, please note that if you'd like to watch these episodes along with us for the third season you'll need to jump ship from Netflix to Hulu. You won't even need a Hulu Plus subscription, so now you're all out of excuses!

Ben Hanson and I are wrapping up season two of The Twilight Zone, and with it, the second season of our Twilight Highlight Zone podcast. If you haven't been keeping up, the concept is dead simple. We watch the show, then blab about each episode in blocks of five or so. This is the last batch from season two, and while it might not have the full five-episode course, it's pretty decent nonetheless. Or is it?!

The next episode is our second-annual Franklin Awards, where we give the best and worst episodes, actors, and other elements the attention they deserve. Tune in next week for that. In the meantime, you can catch up on earlier episodes by subscribing to the podcast on iTunes.

Here's what's covered in this podcast:

26. Shadow Play

27. The Mind and the Matter

28. Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up

29. The Obsolete Man

Jeff Cork and myself are watching every episode from the classic show The Twilight Zone and then talking about the best and funniest moments from each.

This is a solid batch of episodes, with one of them rising from the pack to be one of my favorites and by far the scariest that we've watched thus far. Click here to subscribe to this podcast on iTunes.

Welcome to the second episode of this season's Twilight Highlight Zone. This block includes one of the most memorable episodes from the show's entire run, as well as a performance from a young actor named William Shatner. That kid has potential!

We completed the first season a few months ago (you can listen to the first season here), and we're plugging away on season two. The Twilight Zone is available for streaming on a variety of different sites, and we encourage listeners to watch along with us and share their own observations in the comments. 

This episode of the podcast covers the following episodes from season two:

6. The Eye of the Beholder

7. Nick of Time

8. The Lateness of the Hour

And we're back! We apologize for the delay in posting this episode, but we wanted to have several weeks' worth of episodes in the can to ensure that we can keep posting these every Monday.

For the newcomers, Jeff Cork and I are watching every episode of the classic run of The Twilight Zone and discussing the best and worst moments. We've already tackled the first season; you can find the archive here. We hope that the audio can stand on its own, but in a perfect world we'd like you to watch these episodes along with us by using any number of streaming services and participate in the discussion below.

Also, our little podcast is now on iTunes for your listening convenience! Your subscription and honest review would mean the world to us!

1. King Nine Will Not Return

2. The Man in the Bottle

The votes are in! After powering through the first season, Ben Hanson and I are handing out our awards for Twilight Zone excellence. Check out this special episode to see what moments, actors, and more made the cut as we look back over season one. Thanks to the commenters on last week's episode for submitting some excellent categories.

I hope I'm not spoiling anything when I say that this is the best episode ever. Don't believe me? Hit the play button below and see/hear for yourself. Why would I lie to you? Do I look like the physical manifestation of dishonesty in a poorly scripted melodrama or something? Sheesh.

Ben and I have been having a great time putting these together, and we're looking forward to digging into season two of the show in a few weeks. We will be taking a month or so off, as we catch up on the episodes and do life stuff. In the meantime, thanks for the feedback and support. We really do appreciate it.

It's Monday, which can mean only one thing: It's time for a new episode of the Twilight Highlight Zone. Ben Hanson and I are watching every episode of the classic sci-fi show and sharing our important thoughts. Join us!

We're in the home stretch, with only one more episode to go before the end of season one. I feel like I've learned a lot so far. People used to be far more attractive. Hanson likes to use fancy film-school terms. And slot machines used to have little tiny legs.

As always, we invite you to watch the show on Netflix (or wherever finer shows from the late '50s / early '60s are streamed) and join in the discussion.

This week's podcast covers the following episodes:

26. Execution

27. The Big Tall Wish

28. A Nice Place to Visit

29. Nightmare as a Child

30. A Stop at Willoughby
