00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Day twenty three of the Twilight Zone podcast Advent Calendar,

2
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>and our friend Emma comes back and she says, Twilight

3
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:19.839
<v Speaker 1>Zone episodes are set in various eras. Pick your favorite

4
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:23.600
<v Speaker 1>episode set in the past, nineteen sixties, present, and in

5
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:26.760
<v Speaker 1>the future, and explain why. So we're just going to

6
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.239
<v Speaker 1>stick to the past on this one for the moment.

7
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:33.159
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, Zach, you want to go first on this one.

8
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:37.159
<v Speaker 1>What's your what's your favorite historical Twilight Zone.

9
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.280
<v Speaker 2>So by said in the past, we mean it's a

10
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.560
<v Speaker 2>period piece. There's no time travel, right, It's just this

11
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:46.399
<v Speaker 2>is where we are before nineteen sixties time. Right. That

12
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.000
<v Speaker 2>was my understanding. That's how I interpreted it.

13
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I've already broken one of those rules.

14
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:56.000
<v Speaker 2>So good. Well, I'll stay true of the rules. I

15
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:58.399
<v Speaker 2>gotta be honest. The ones in the past are probably

16
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:02.560
<v Speaker 2>my least favorite episodes. It's like I'm on the list

17
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:04.280
<v Speaker 2>of my I'm like on the hierarchy of what are

18
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:07.040
<v Speaker 2>my least favorite twise one episodes, comedy episodes are number

19
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.000
<v Speaker 2>one episode said in the pastor number two, you know,

20
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:13.400
<v Speaker 2>because it was kind of hard to just the ones

21
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 2>that are just entirely in the past, right, because there

22
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:17.719
<v Speaker 2>are some great time travel ones, but going through it,

23
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go with the grave, uh, with Lee Marvin

24
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.519
<v Speaker 2>and an Old West and uh, there's a lot of

25
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.920
<v Speaker 2>talk about, you know, a ghost. If you go to

26
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:30.319
<v Speaker 2>this grave, guy's gonna pull you into it. And it's

27
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:33.040
<v Speaker 2>one of those ambiguous endings which are so rare, but

28
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.280
<v Speaker 2>I like so much on the show right where he's

29
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 2>like he dies of the grave, but it's like, oh, well,

30
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:40.200
<v Speaker 2>the wind blew and he stabbed it and he got

31
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:43.280
<v Speaker 2>stuck and that it's like, okay, Like if you're a skeptic,

32
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:45.400
<v Speaker 2>you could believe that, or you could believe, like, you know,

33
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.319
<v Speaker 2>a ghost pulled him into the into the grave. So

34
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, Lee Marvin, you know, just famous actor and

35
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:56.760
<v Speaker 2>a pretty solid kind of you know, spooky. But because

36
00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:58.319
<v Speaker 2>so many times when they go to the Old West,

37
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Speaker 2>it's like some goofy comedy thing and I have no

38
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:03.439
<v Speaker 2>interest in that. I mean that they're not all bad

39
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 2>or anything, but to me, scrolling through like one set

40
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.560
<v Speaker 2>in the past, this is the one that stuck out

41
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 2>to me is like, you know what, I would like

42
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 2>to rewatch that one. So that's why that's my favorite episode.

43
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Said in the past.

44
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:20.759
<v Speaker 1>That's a good choice, man, and probably one of those

45
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Twilight Zones that slips through the cracks a little bit,

46
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:27.800
<v Speaker 1>don't you think. You know it's it's rarely the the

47
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:34.479
<v Speaker 1>top of Twilight Zone conversations. But it's a very serviceable episode.

48
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:36.800
<v Speaker 1>And you know, you've got Lee Marvin at the center

49
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.759
<v Speaker 1>of it, who's great. So that's a good choice. Absolutely.

50
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh thanks, Yeah, and so check under g for ghosts

51
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.240
<v Speaker 2>in the Twilight Zone. As Rod says, this is the

52
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:45.919
<v Speaker 2>last line that's I always love it when he like

53
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:49.000
<v Speaker 2>pulls out this dictionary thing, like what it's just a

54
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 2>silly It makes you so all every time because it's

55
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.479
<v Speaker 2>so just old school and and simple but effective.

56
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.759
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, thanks, Okay, so my cheating answer is back there,

57
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.319
<v Speaker 1>which is the one when Peter Corrigan goes back in

58
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.680
<v Speaker 1>time in the Potomac Club, and there's a couple of

59
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:09.159
<v Speaker 1>reasons for it. It's got one of the best ever

60
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:13.439
<v Speaker 1>sailing in the scenes. Absolutely, yeah, sat in the club.

61
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.479
<v Speaker 1>I think he's reading the newspaper maybe as well, from

62
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:18.280
<v Speaker 1>what I remember. It's been a few years since I

63
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>watched it, but like all the main characters are kind

64
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>of sitting at a table and then it just sort

65
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:26.719
<v Speaker 1>of drifts over to sailing. I think I might be

66
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.759
<v Speaker 1>remembering that wrong. But in a world of whippands, that

67
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:33.759
<v Speaker 1>is like, yeah, you know, that is like the best

68
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:37.199
<v Speaker 1>thing ever. Also, it's just, you know, I kind of

69
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.439
<v Speaker 1>love stories where it's like you mentioned one on one

70
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.520
<v Speaker 1>of the previous days. Let's see what happens if we

71
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>go back and try and kill Hitler. You know this,

72
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:48.960
<v Speaker 1>It's like I'm going to try and save Abraham Lincoln,

73
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, And I think, is it is it Russell?

74
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:55.159
<v Speaker 1>I forget his last name now.

75
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.520
<v Speaker 2>It's the professor from Gilligan's Island.

76
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:01.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but he is so big in it. His performance

77
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>is absolutely.

78
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Huge Shatner esque levels of acting.

79
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>But I just love it. I just love it. It's like

80
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:12.639
<v Speaker 1>Hokey is all hell, But I just love those kind

81
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.560
<v Speaker 1>of stories. I feel like I might to cheat of

82
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>the bear.

83
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:18.680
<v Speaker 2>I think you did, but I will. I will say.

84
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:20.519
<v Speaker 2>You know, that episode has a special place now, I

85
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.079
<v Speaker 2>think because I remember when you when you read that

86
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.079
<v Speaker 2>story on the Patreon and then and then you kind

87
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.160
<v Speaker 2>of transitioned it into the after Ovars Club, like in

88
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.639
<v Speaker 2>the lore of the Twilight Zone podcast. Everybody, this is

89
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:34.959
<v Speaker 2>important because it became the after hours club. So that

90
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:37.600
<v Speaker 2>was a fun, fun bit of creativity there that that

91
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:39.480
<v Speaker 2>you put in there that we all appreciate his listeners.

92
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:41.480
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, that's that's a solid one. I mean, the

93
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.000
<v Speaker 2>mechanism for time travel is he just thinks really hard

94
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.399
<v Speaker 2>about it. I guess that's how he gets there. But

95
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.879
<v Speaker 2>that's fine. But no, you're you're right, that's that's a

96
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 2>that's a solid choice, even though I think it is

97
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:51.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of cheating.
