#14 - The Twilight Zone and Jordan Peele (or Returning to the Dimension of Imagination)
[00:00:01] I'm Justin. I'm Josh and I'm Tim. Well guys let's talk about the new Twilight Zone remake reimagining show that they're doing. Is it Jordan Peele Jordan Peele. Yeah. Yo yo. He's this is what the second or third redo of why they think this is the third.
[00:00:21] If you don't count the movies are we counting the movie. I think you have to count the movie and technically it be the fourth because the original then the movie and then they did it in like the 90s and 80s they did in the 80s and then in the early 2000s. Yeah. So a fifth of a fifth attempt. OK. And do we put the outer limits on that too. Because that was kind of.
[00:00:42] No no no. But what about the Night Gallery. I haven't actually watched an episode of that is that kind of twilight. No idea. Never even heard it. Well I guess we shouldn't touch that.
[00:00:51] I think people have said that it's close to Twilight. So like Twilight Zone. Well it's it's own thing. So here we are. A new version of Twilight Zone. Tim do you want to see a new version of Twilight Zone or. Would you rather have seen him just do some sort of other anthology show that's not quote unquote the twilight like a black mirror. Yeah I was going to go there.
[00:01:13] Well you know Black Mirror is pretty much like Twilight Zone. That's what I would call it. It's blinded to people.
[00:01:19] You know I at first I kind of decided that it is but it is and it isn't. It's because it every episode has a technology specific kind of twist.
[00:01:30] Right in black and black mirror. Yeah.
[00:01:32] Yeah but I also feel like at least early Twilight Zone episodes not so much later but early ones. There was always the twist you know at the end there was always something you. Oh they're here. You know that guy's a pig man or whatever you know. Or they were on Earth the whole time. Yeah it was. The show's got away from that. It became just sometimes oddball ideas or whatever. But Black Mirror is similar in that sense. I know it gets compared to Twilight Zone a lot but I don't think it's a.
[00:02:03] They do have episodes that have a a twist but they are plenty that don't. And they're just an odd concept that has a payoff. So I don't think lumping it in with Twilight Zone is fair. I think it's it's own beast. I think it's amazing.
[00:02:18] Well I don't I wouldn't say I've ever lumped it in. I think that's just the my way of explaining what type type of show it it is an anthology. I didn't like what was close enough to it. It was the twilight. All right. Fair enough. I knew it was its own thing. OK.
[00:02:34] So I'm sorry Tim. Is this something you want to see or would you have rather seen it just in and not call it away from him. Yes now I have not seen get out. You did right. Yes. And it was amazing really really good. Yes.
[00:02:46] Well he he's got this other movie coming out called us.
[00:02:49] Yes apparently it's supposed to be amazing now not having seen get out and don't spoil it for me because I do want to see it. Is this something that you would have if you were a Hollywood producer that you would've thought hey this is the guy that should do twilight zone now.
[00:03:07] Is it off of that. Yes okay. OK. Like you were mentioning they had a good twist and they this did have a good twist on it. OK.
[00:03:14] And it was a twist on the twist and certain parts and they'll be like you expect to go this way and then you know there's a twist and we twist back to going back that way and the
