Happy Fall and welcome back to The Hindsight Zone!! We're kicking off Season 3 with a bang, discussing Season 1, Episode 34 - The After Hours. This one's a classic for a reason, folks!

Topics include mannequin history, lesbian vampires, and the very special souvenir that actress Anne Francis took home from set.

"A $200 thimble grinds my gears almost as much as a $500 hairbrush" - a reference to these hairbrushes, which we had been discussing earlier off-mic. Reach out if you want to support the show by buying one for Suzy!

Welcome to the finale of Season 2!! Time has flown by since we started recording this podcast, and we'd like to extend a HUGE thank you to everyone who listens and especially everyone who has reached out to us to recommend an episode or share their thoughts on the show.

We're finishing off the season with a CLASSIC ep - Season One, Episode 2: One for the Angels. This one's a sweet and sentimental meditation on mortality, love, and the things that really matter. Join us for historical personifications of the Reaper, Ed Wynn Trivia, and meta-theories about the character of Death in the Twilight Zone extended universe.

"You see? No shock. No... engulfment. No tearing asunder. What you feared would come like an explosion, is like a whisper. What you thought was the end, the beginning."

Like many great TZ episodes, Nothing in the Dark contains equal measures of emotional poignancy and existential terror. Our coverage touches on our own thoughts about aging as one of us nears the big 3-0 (guess which one!), a dramatic reading from Robert Redford's Wikipedia page, and an account of the 60's Sci-Fi beef between Rod Serling and Ray Bradbury.
