This week, Craig spins the cosmic roulette wheel in honor of the Twilight Zone classics “The Fever” and “The Prime Mover” while self-medicating an ongoing sinus malfunction with a single-malt Scotch.

4x14 "Quarantine Confidential 3D"

 Bug-eyed monster lovers rejoice! This week Craig dives deep into the pool of primordial goo that is the Outer Limits episode “Tourist Attraction.” TOL historian David J. Schow joins in to regale us with his bottomless sea of knowledge, plus Dr. Reba Wissner gives us the lowdown on the episode’s original music score. The whole affair is slimy... yet strangely satisfying.    Get your David J.

4x13 "Between Awe and Mystery: An Outer Limits Podcast"

 This week, host Craig checks out “Reap What You Sow,” a fan-made Twilight Zone episode in the spirit of the original series, then gazes backward at his own (sadly unrealized) dream of creating... well, something along the same lines. Friend of the show Carson Cohen returns for some much-needed fact checking, then we wrap up with some reportage on an exciting Rod Serling-related crowdfunding campaign. Oh, it’s also Hallowe’en, which we’re apparently not observing at all this year. Boo indeed.      Theme: “Neither Here nor There (Yet Another Revision version)” by Twin Loops (used by permission).    “Two Semi-Metallic Human Beings” composed by Howard Shore (from album David Cronenberg’s Crash: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, copyright 1996 by Milan Records).    “Babylon” performed by Control X (from the album To Abort Transmission, copyright 1995 by Instinct Ambient Records).      As Timeless as Infinity: A Rod Serling Monument Kickstarter campaign:   https://bit.ly/3w1kcpH    If you haven’t seen “Reap What You Sow,” go watch it before CBS issues a cease-and-desist notice!   https://youtu.be/f5GOQVgeAzk      The Twilight Zone is a trademark of CBS, Inc.    Between Light and Shadow: A Twilight Zone Podcast is a nonprofit podcast.
