BONUS - Twilight Zone - "Shadow Play"

You're traveling through another dimension... A dimension mostly made up of the sounds of our voices... It's another bonus episode of My New Thing. Today, Dan shares his lifelong love of The Twilight Zone with Zach as they watch a Season 2 classic "Shadow Play" about a man stuck in a recurring nightmare about being on death row. We talk about Rod Serling and writer Charles Beaumont's writerly pursuits and backgrounds, censorship, World War II, Plato's cave, and why this horror short is actually a reflection on how to write TV and screenplays.
