Mr. Luther Dingle, a naïve, timid vacuum cleaner salesman, is the perfect candidate for an experiment from a pair of Martian scientists. They give Dingle the strength of 300 men, only to be disappointed with the mundane ways he uses it. Nicole and Peter will flex on this gag-heavy episode and discuss reused props, the voice of Mr. Potato Head, and a very apparent stunt double.

Flight 33 starts off as normal as any other, but after catching one doozy of a jet stream and breaking the sound barrier, they’ve traveled back in time…really, really far back in time. With fuel running low, their only chance may be to find that jet stream again and hope it spits them out closer to home. Nicole and Peter will try to land this episode and discuss the two Serling brothers who worked on the episode, display livers, and a new Cool Lil Guy.
We hope you’ll join us.

A recurring dream about a hospital morgue—the eponymous room 22—plagues Miss Liz Powell, who has been checked in to the hospital to treat her nervous fatigue from overwork. Although she can’t quite put her finger on it, she knows what she’s experiencing is much more than a dream…but she may be running out of time to figure out what exactly it is. Nicole and Peter will make room for this episode and discuss a minor rival to Marilyn Monroe, the episode’s connection to Toy Story 2, and a very dislikable doctor.

In a small Old West town, one man is set to hang for getting drunk and racing his wagon through the streets, hitting and killing a little girl. In an act of desperation, his father purchases some allegedly magic dust, which the salesman says can turns people’s hate into love. Is that what the town really needs, and will it be enough to save his son? Nicole and Peter shake off this gritty episode and discuss another Old West setting, getting a gig because your dad’s the director, and Serling’s other dust-based plays.
