  2. 4x14 "Quarantine Confidential 3D"

    4x14 "Quarantine Confidential 3D"

    One down, one to go. In the penultimate installment of the show, host Craig does one final round of housekeeping and (not surprisingly) pimps his work on the Night Gallery Season 1 Blu-ray set.

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

    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.

  4. 4x12 "2Quarantine 2Confidential"

    11/01/2021

    4x12 "2Quarantine 2Confidential"

    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.

    4x11 "Nathan Van Cleave in The Twilight Zone... and Beyond"

    Nathan Van Cleave, The Twilight Zone’s most prolific composer, finally gets a well-deserved spotlighting in this special installment of the podcast, made complete by an appearance by musician and friend of the program Carson Cohen.

    4x10: "Quarantine Confidential: Live, Unedited and Uncouth"

    Have you ever wondered what the show might sound like with NO editing whatsoever? Like, NONE. And no script, either. No, really. We’re talking a solid hour of off-the-cuff yammering from host Craig with ZERO pre-planning (and zero production value). Listen... if you dare.    Stephanie Griffin’s Siren Song Stitchery, where awesome stuff comes to three-dimensional-hand-sewn life: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SirensSongStitchery    Kilian Melloy’s magnificent short story “The Boundary” (which he dedicated to me, of all people):  https://bit.ly/3f4S273  Kilian Melloy (Edge Media Network) interviews yours truly about The Outer Limits on Blu-ray (from 2018): https://bit.ly/2NGCD1k  The TZ Season 1 “Eye Intro” saga:  https://bit.ly/399iZCy    Pick up bare•bones magazine #6 (Spring 2021), which includes my first published article (I Am Controlling Transmission: The Outer Limits on Home Video):  https://amzn.to/3edufRa  This issue also features an article by David J. Schow about Rod Serling’s The Twilight Zone Magazine, so it’s doubly desirable. $9.95 and it’s yours.  Hell, order several copies and give ‘em to your friends as gifts.    The Twilight Zone is a trademark of CBS, Inc.  Between Light and Shadow: A Twilight Zone Podcast is a nonprofit podcast.

    4x09 "Judgment at Serlingberg, Part II"

    Submitted for your approval, part two of our epic study of Rod Serling’s World War II PTSD-demon-exorcizing Twilight Zone episodes. This time we’re neck-deep in the Pacific Theater side of things, which happens to be where Serling served---- so the episodes we’re covering (“The Purple Testament” and “A Quality of Mercy,” plus “The Encounter” for good measure) have an added bit of emotional and existential weight to ‘em. Listen with horror as host Craig tries to keep things light in the face of such grim thematic material. If nothing else, our old buddy Dr. Reba Wissner shows up to make it all worthwhile whilst sparking copious amounts of unbridled joy.   “Strange Girl” performed by Hubert Laws (from the album Flute By-Laws, copyright 1966 by Atlantic Records) “Over There” performed by Bob Crosby and His Orchestra (copyright 1942 by Decca Records) “Turning Japanese” performed by The Vapors (from the album New Clear Days, copyright 1980 by United Artists Records) “America, Fuck Yeah” and “America, F**k Yeah (Symphony Bummer Remix)” written and performed by Trey Parker (from the album Team America World Police: Music from the Motion Picture, copyright 2004 by Atlantic Records) Main title theme from the film Detour composed and conducted by Leo Erdody (copyright 1945 by Producers Releasing Corporation) Main title theme from the film Cry Terror!

    4x08 "Judgment at Serlingberg, Part I"

    We’re back (after an unintentional 4-month absence) to dissect the classic Twilight Zone episodes “Judgment Night” and “Death’s-Head Revisited." Listen with horror as Craig tries valiantly to bring a sense of levity to the proceedings (spoiler alert: it doesn’t work). Achtung! Wanna hire the mega-talented Rick Sellers for some voiceover work?
