Spoiler alert: this week we’re analyzing the Twilight Zone episode “Dust.” Luis Gallegos sits in a jail cell, waiting to be executed. Why? A reckless night of desperation and inebriation led to the death of a young girl. And so, he waits. But, when a peddler of false hopes comes into town claiming that he has magic dust that can change hate to love, things start to become interesting. We’ll dive into the difference between vengeance and justice, and bring in the movies John Wick and Tombstone to help us out; we’ll talk about how our environments shape us into ways we might like and not like, with a bit of help from It’s a Wonderful Life; and I’ll reveal my moment of awe, or rather, a moment of awe from one of our characters. So, grab your keys, and let's unlock this door to the fifth dimension. As always, spoiler alert. If you have note seen the episode, go check it out and then come back here for the analysis. We're walking through Rod Serling's classic Twilight Zone series and asking difficult questions about life. So, if you love The Twilight Zone, science fiction, or even just philosophizing about life, consider joining us on this journey. There's always room for more.
