Hi Tom, really enjoyed this episode, a couple of months ago myself and juliet had a little weekend film fest where we watched the dummy, caesar and me and the film magic with Anthony Hopkins, theres something very creepy about the relationship between the ventriloquist and the doll in all of these shows and the subject is perfect for the twilight zone as it's always ambiguous and leaves the reality of what's happening firmly in the viewers own mind as to what's real and what's imagined. One of my own personal favourite movies is Dead of night which I own on an old VHS tape, i first saw it as a child and it really stuck with me, the movie as you know has a dummy segment which is quite disturbing along with a few more mini stories which are all precursors to shows like the twilight zone. It would be great to see willie come back to life in Jordan peeles TZ universe, a modern take on how we allow inanimate objects to take us over and control our lives, maybe these days willie is using soc

Did you not immediately get a Bundy vibe from Derrick?

The Globetrotters' guy was Abe Saperstein, not Superstein.

People who say things like "shoot" or "darn" or "fudge" and then yell at others about so-called unnecessary cursing are full of garbage. Heck is the same as hell. You're not fooling anyone. We know what you really mean with these uncreative stand-ins. Moreover, you are still cursing -- don't kid yourself. When you spill your drink and you utter "POOP!" you are expressing dismay or outrage, which (hellooooo!) means you are cursing!

I like your show. I wish CBS would put on regular TV so I could watch it. I can not afford to pay for my shows my on disability.

not only is this about one of my favorite episodes of the Twilight Zone, it's also easily one of the best episodes of the Twilight Zone Podcast. Tom taking the time to discuss the modern rat race and the dehumanization it implies is fantastic.

a very well done podcast for fans of the twilight zone. good synopses, great use of music from the series, along with sample audio. love the perspective from another fan, including opinions about episode quality as well as well researched and sources behind the scenes information. looking forward to listening through this series of podcasts

Looks like a lot of people in the comments don't get the point of the show. Most episodes are an analysis of TZ... I enjoy hearing about the behind the scenes stuff. Too bad that you don't. I like the show. If I wanted to watch TZ I'd turn on Netflix

Just a comment about Ken Lavine from the discussion at the end about the reboot. Go play the Bioshock games and you will see that he is exactly the sort of person who would do the TZ justice, even if it is a side project. Those games are brilliant and like you say, have one foot in the past and one in the future. Enjoyed this episode, thanks!

what the hell is this? this guy sounds like he has a pile of 50 Hollywood magazines and 15 witch doctor African tribe magazines. and reads a page from one. puts it down; opens the next magazine and reads a random page and so on. extremely unorganized I can't even make sense of 6 words together. horrible
