Well, I hated an episode already. I was really hoping I wouldn't have to say that but here we are. Turns out an 11 year old president is bad for the country and bad for television. In this ABC Family movie of the week, an 11 year old asshole becomes president for some reason. John Cho is to blame. The lesson? Don't elect 11 year olds as president? Did we really need to learn that lesson?
132: TZ2019 - 104 - A Traveler
Get ready for the pie storyline you've been waiting for. Skip Endgame and watch this epic pie adventure instead! An adventure so important that even bad acting, Russian red-herrings, alien invasions and sex cult parties can't stop a drunk from getting his goddamn promised pie.
131: TZ2019 - 103 - Replay
Sci-fi plot MESSAGE. If you are hurting from being beaten over the head with the message in this story please seek medical attention. The CBS medical staff is now open for new patients. We are joined again by Brainy Beaver to discuss this message. I mean episode. No, I meant message.
130: TZ2019 - 102 - Nightmare At 30,000 Feet
Ready for the third round of having nightmares on an airplane? This time the airplanes comes with an extra 10,000 feet and the only price you pay is for the price of CBS All Access. Is it worth it? We are joined by Brainy Beaver for this episode so we get the opinion of someone that isn't as Twilight Zone obsessed as we are.
129: TZ2019 - 101 - The Comedian
Ready for the 4th version of The Twilight Zone? For this reboot they actually realized using both money and talent will provide for a quality show so we are excited for more episodes. We talk about if this episode is a good episode to start the new series out on. Let us know what you think.
128: TZ1959 - 204 - A Thing About Machines Redux & Live Episode Commentary
Caution: If you have a fear of electric razors, do not watch this episode. For everyone else that enjoys a quality story with well written characters, do not watch this episode. But if you are determined to watch it, watch it with us with our live episode commentary. Frank is schloppy as hell and sometimes uses words.
127: TZ1959 - 210 - A Most Unusual Camera Redux & Live Episode Commentary
In this live episode commentary episode we discover the best super power possible. Also we discuss the stupid shit in the episode to a pointless level of obsession.
126: TZ1959 - 404 - He's Alive
It was a real struggle to get Frank to talk about this actual episode even though he was very excited to do so. Legitimate question I want to pose to our listeners: Is Dennis Hopper too good of an actor for TZ? At any rate, if you think this episode is just about finding out who the shadow man is then you're a fucking idiot.
125: TZ1959 - 403 - Valley Of The Shadow
This is a divisive episode. One of us loved it and one of us hated it. The results will surprise you. We also put this town to the "BITE" cult model to see if they do meet the requirements of a cult. Spoiler alert: listen to the episode to find out. Spoiler alert: what is a spoiler alert?
124: TZ1959 - 104 - The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine Redux & Trashed Live Episode Commentary

This episode sucked and we were too trashed to talk about it in real time. For that and that alone, I honestly apologize. This would be a terrible episode for a new listener but if you're a seasoned vet, enjoy it for what it was. A bad attempt to handle an hour long suicide talk on The Podcasts Podcast episode 45.
123: TZ1959 - 402 - The Thirty-Fathom Grave
Fuck Skype. Anyway, we are sloooowly chewing through terrible season 4. In this episode we do our best to not talk about the episode but then are forced into it. We didn't do it justice.
122: TZ1959 - 108 - Time Enough At Last Redux & Live Episode Commentary
Queue this episode up with Netflix, starting at the 0 second mark. Watch it on silent with subtitled and listen as we make fun of the wife's decorating, how far on the spectrum the main character is and how he's a junkie for reading.
121: TZ1959 - 106 - Escape Clause Redux & Live Episode Commentary
Watch the episode on mute on Netflix with subtitles as we ramble live commentary on the episode then disuss the episode afterward. This is our second attempt at live commentary and it went much smoother. We stayed on topic this time about this episode about a pathetic man who wants to live forever until he's immediately suicidal.
120: TZ1959 - 107 - The Lonely Redux & Live Episode Commentary
For the first time we randomly decided to do a live episode commentary for this Twilight Zone episode. Warning: There is a false alarm when Phoenix says to press play on Neflix so expect that. Press play the second time he actually says to press play. Again, this was not prepared but also not the last time we are doing this. Also, everything after the commentary is barely TZ related and we're sorry for that.
119: TZ1959 - 401 - In His Image
The first hour long episode is good for an hour long nap. Watch in awe as a man slowly walks from place to place only to be alarmed everything is different. Watch in horror as his fiance who has known him one full week, avoids any sense of survival as she follows a man on the brink of mental collapse. Watch the spectacle of the greatest split screen in history. Watch with delight as our main protagonist murders a woman for talking too loudly in the very first scene.
118: TZ1959 - Season 3 Bottom 5 Episodes
It's time to discuss the smelliest, plumpest cat turds of the season. In a shocking twist, Phoenix and Frank's lists do not match up much so we could actually discuss a bunch of episodes. They then break down the entire season as well as season 4 which they barely remember.
117: TZ1959 - Season 3 Top 5 Episodes
We sifted through the cat litter box and each found our 5 shiniest cat turds to talk about. This season we only had a couple matches because it wasn't as obvious as season 2. Wait until the next episode to hear about the rest of the season.
116: TZ1959 - 337 - The Changing Of The Guard
We did it! We killed season 3. We discussed the sloppy episode The Changing Of The Guard. It was aiiiiight. Had good ideas but rushed. The next two episodes of this show are only available for our Patreon subscribers. You can get in on the audio action for only $1. The link below is where you find that. It will be Phoenix and Frank running down their bottom 5 and then top 5 of season 3. It will be a struggle. This season sucked.
115: TZ1959 - 336 - Cavender Is Coming
LAUGH TRACK = COMEDY. LOUD MUSIC = COMEDY. FORCED JOKES = COMEDY. JUMPING OUT WINDOWS = COMEDY. SAYING IT'S A COMEDY = COMEDY. ENJOY YOUR COMEDY.
114: TZ1959 - 335 - I Sing The Body Electric
Ray Bradbury wrote down 3 plot points on a bar napkin and sued Rod into filming it. What we got was an episode void of any plot or character development. Robotma will enter the heart of the children. Right through the chest.
