Nice job!

Great podcast… nice touches of humour throughout.
Just wished they’d reviewed the episodes in order so I don’t have to scroll through to find them, as I’m watching the episodes sequentially.

I enjoy this podcast very much

After years of loving The Simpsons’s Treehouse of Horror episodes I finally decided to watch an episode of TZ on Youtube and loved it, (it never aired in Australia in the last 20 years as far as I know). For the last 1.5 years, I’ve been watching the TZ along with the podcast, wanting to jump ahead but letting you guys guide the way instead. It’s been fun seeing all the pop culture references make sense, and having never seen these before there’s been quite a few surprises.

Anyway you guys do a great job and have become intrinsically linked with the original series for me now. Can I request either Back There or No Time Like The Past for recap soon? I like the sound of those time travel episodes.

A must listen for fans of The Twilight Zone

If you're a fan of The Twilight Zone then this is the podcast for you. Interesting, in depth but still fun. And a good reason to watch episodes you may have not seen in a while. A good mix of funny but still respectful of the show, and its audience. A great podcast to get into.
