00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.439
<v Speaker 1>Day twenty of the Twilight Zone podcast at Van Khalan

2
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:15.880
<v Speaker 1>and our old friend al Sharedzmas says, we think of

3
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.879
<v Speaker 1>Twilight Zone episodes as always having a twist at the end,

4
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:21.719
<v Speaker 1>but not all of them do. So, which is your

5
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:26.399
<v Speaker 1>favorite non twist episode and why so I'll hand over

6
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>to you Zac.

7
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:30.960
<v Speaker 2>You know this was hard because it's true not every

8
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:33.000
<v Speaker 2>episode has a twist. And then you think to yourself,

9
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:36.159
<v Speaker 2>what is a twist? Like is a reveal a twist? Right?

10
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:39.439
<v Speaker 2>What defines a twist, especially in this context, in this format.

11
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:41.640
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I guess I'd go with it's a

12
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.960
<v Speaker 2>good life because there's no twist. There's no moral message.

13
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.759
<v Speaker 2>I think he says that in the episode as well,

14
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 2>just to terrifying, like what if of that reality? Yeah,

15
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.119
<v Speaker 2>just this kid has powers and he's taken over this

16
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:57.880
<v Speaker 2>town and it's going to be that way forever. No twist,

17
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.679
<v Speaker 2>just here it is right, submitted for your approval, as

18
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:04.560
<v Speaker 2>he says. Right, So, yeah, you know, I'd say a

19
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>lot of episodes don't have twists. But thinking about it now,

20
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:09.640
<v Speaker 2>it's hard to think of them off the top of

21
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:11.760
<v Speaker 2>my head, I guess On Thursday, with Leave from Home Too,

22
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 2>I guess, right, just a conclusion to that escalating power

23
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:18.040
<v Speaker 2>play they've been building towards, right, It just it's just

24
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.239
<v Speaker 2>kind of a yeah. And stories that's the thing, right,

25
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:23.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, twist stick with you, right, But stories that

26
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.280
<v Speaker 2>come to like natural conclusions also stick with you because

27
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.120
<v Speaker 2>everything just comes together perfectly. And I think that's that's

28
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 2>a case for something like on Thursday, we'll leave for home.

29
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 2>So those are the ones that come to the top

30
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:35.079
<v Speaker 2>of my head. I mean, those are some of the

31
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 2>best episodes. That's another reason they come to the top

32
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:37.599
<v Speaker 2>of my head.

33
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:39.959
<v Speaker 1>The thing is, I was exactly the same. I was

34
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>probably second guess on myself too much as to what

35
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.680
<v Speaker 1>actually constitutes a twist, because I was thinking, well, the

36
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:50.959
<v Speaker 1>Odyssey of Flight thirty three, is that really a twist?

37
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:54.519
<v Speaker 1>They just keep on flying, you know, But is the

38
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>twist the fact that they end up is like this

39
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.319
<v Speaker 1>airplane version of the Marry Celeste or whatever, you know,

40
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.879
<v Speaker 1>Is that a twist? So it's really tricky when you've

41
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.519
<v Speaker 1>got to try and define what a twist is. So

42
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I took the same route as Uzac, But I also

43
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 1>think it helps that it's a good life is genuinely

44
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:20.599
<v Speaker 1>top ten for me. So you were absolutely right that

45
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:23.360
<v Speaker 1>the kind of whole point of the end is that

46
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>there's no twist. It's like, there you go, this is

47
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:30.000
<v Speaker 1>what happened, and Rod's close and narration have actually got

48
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:33.319
<v Speaker 1>it here, he says, no comment here, no comment at all.

49
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.159
<v Speaker 1>We only wanted to introduce you to one of our

50
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:41.520
<v Speaker 1>very special citizens, little Anthony Fremont, aged six, who lives

51
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:45.039
<v Speaker 1>in a village called Peaksville, in a place that used

52
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 1>to be Ohio. And if, by some strange chance you

53
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>should run across him, you'd best think only good thoughts.

54
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Anything less than that is handled at your own risk,

55
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:59.039
<v Speaker 1>because if you do meet Anthony, you can be sure

56
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:04.400
<v Speaker 1>of one thing. You've entered the twilight zone. So what

57
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.680
<v Speaker 1>a great closing narration. It's like you say, it's just

58
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:11.039
<v Speaker 1>like there it is, man, And if you end up here,

59
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:20.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, yeah,
