How do you like discussions of the themes and politics of Twilight Zone episodes, reviewing the choices made in Serling’s hallmark spooky anthology series with an eye towards how they resonate today? How about heckling the protagonists of Twilight Zone episodes for their dubious decision-making? Or how about getting super mad about how little everything cost in the ‘50s? The Spooky Spot has it all, and also a lot of talk about cryptids. I recommend trying the episode “Ready Player One but for the ‘30s”, which has a great mix of goofs and earnest discussion on how the show deals with the pressures on women in film.
