Jana has no respect for her father’s life’s work: the team of robots he’s built to tend to their every need, nor the comforting life they provide. She wants the robots gone—all of them—despite how troubled her parents seem at the suggestion. Nicole and Peter will disassemble this domestic episode and discuss the worst way to save $30,000, an over-the-top shoulder massage, and a cast of familiar faces from The Twilight Zone’s best episodes.
We hope you’ll join us.

Part napkin dispenser, part fortune-telling machine, and all trouble, the Mystic Seer in the first booth of the Busy Bee Cafe in Ridgeview, Ohio may hold the secrets to the future. It may also be just a napkin dispenser, but that’s up to Pat and Don Carter to decide. Nicole and Peter will slide into this fateful episode and discuss how not to cross the street, the value of independent mechanics, and the Mt. Rushmore of Twilight Zone props.
We hope you’ll join us.

When, when, when will they take the bandages off? This is the question asked by Miss Janet Tyler—along with the rest of the audience—as Janet waits in the hospital to learn her fate. Nicole and Peter will unwrap this iconic episode and discuss casting by voice, the scene that Serling didn’t write, and an ingenious use off a fishbowl.

Bartlett Finchley has always hated machines, but lately, they seem to be hating him back. If only there were something he could do!

Jackie Rhoades is long overdue for a serious heart-to-heart from someone who has been wanting to chat for a while, and is perhaps the only person Jackie will listen to: his own reflection. Nicole and Peter will take a peek at this minimalist episode and discuss exiting a gang, rear projection, and references in other episodes of American television.

A mysterious genie may be just what Edna and Arthur Castle need to turn the fortune of their curio shop around, but they’ll have to learn that wishes have consequences first.
