What You Need (Season 1, Episode 12) (with Austin Proctor)

Matt, Patrick, and special guest Austin Proctor from the Frightmares podcast go through the twelfth episode of The Twilight Zone: "What You Need." It's yet another episode that heavily features a peddler, a profession that appears to have been much more prominent back in Twilight Zone times. And it's another episode that chastises you for wanting things. Originally aired December 25, 1959. Directed by Alvin Ganzer. Teleplay by Rod Serling, based on "What You Need" by Lewis Padgett. Starring Steve Cochran, Ernest Truex, Arline Sax, and Read Morgan as "Lefty."

And When The Sky Was Opened (Season 1, Episode 11)

Judgment Night (Season 1, Episode 10)

Matt Stokes and Patrick Perot go through the tenth episode of The Twilight Zone: "Judgment Night." Carl Lanser finds himself aboard a British cargo liner in 1942, on a foggy night, pursued by an unknown menace out in the ocean. He doesn't know who he is or why he's here. It probably has something to do with hell. It usually does in The Twilight Zone. "Judgment Night" originally aired December 4, 1959; directed by John Brahm; written by Rod Serling; starring Nehemiah Persoff as Carl Lanser, Ben Wright, Patrick Macnee, and James Franciscus as Herr Mueller.

Perchance To Dream (Season 1, Episode 9)

Matt Stokes and Patrick Perot go through the ninth episode of The Twilight Zone: "Perchance To Dream." Richard Conte (Don Barzini from The Godfather) plays Edward Hall, a 35-year-old(!) who is convinced that if he goes to sleep, he'll die. He has a heart murmor, you see, and any excitement will put him down forever. Further complicating things is a sexy BDSM cat lady who visits him in his dreams. Is this just the story of a man who thinks a wet dream will kill him? Is it a metaphor for repressed homosexuality? Or something else? Patrick and Matt definitively answer these questions. "Perchance To Dream" originally aired November 27, 1959; directed by Robert Florey; written by Charles Beaumont; based on "Perchance To Dream" by Charles Beaumont; starring Richard Conte as Edward Hall, John Larch as Dr. Rathmann, and Suzanne Lloyd as the cat lady.

Time Enough At Last (Season 1, Episode 8)

Matt Stokes and Patrick Perot go through the eighth episode of The Twilight Zone: "Time Enough At Last." Burgess Meredith is Henry Bemis, a freakin' loser who just wants to read BOOKS. Books??? "What's this swill you're reading?!" his shrew of a wife demands. "David Copperfield? Sounds positively pornographic!" she yells as she rolls over it with a bulldozer. Then the apocalypse happens and Henry finally gets some Me Time to read. But the universe is cruel and, we shall learn by the end of this classic episode, not fair. "Time Enough At Last" originally aired November 20, 1959; directed by John Brahm; written by Rod Serling; based on "Time Enough At Last" by Lynn Venable; starring Burgess Meredith, Jacqueline deWit, and Vaughn Taylor as Mr. Carsville.
