One year ago, almost to the day, I sat down and wrote about cookies. Except I wasn't really writing about cookies. I was writing about my daughter. The premise was simple. We all mature at different rates on different things, and just like a good batch of cookies, sometimes we need more time in the oven to become what we're meant to be. You don't throw the batch out. You give it more heat and more time. Well, the oven timer has gone off. It's time to see how the cookies turned out.

We are truly nearing the end, cortexifans - so much so that you could make the argument that, even though this isn’t the penultimate episode of our podcast, we are covering the penultimate episode of the series given the fact that 5.12 and 5.13 aired together the same night as a two-hour finale. We talk about this incredibly important episode and all of the answers that it finally gives us alongside Fringe Connections creator Michael London.

Wise. Warrior. Dancer. Husband. Father. Musician. Murderer. Songwriter. Leader. Adulterer. Victim. Full of mercy. Crazy. Cunning. Liar. Full of pride. Humble. All of these words describe the same person. It's a person I strive to be like, and it's the subject of today's story. Intrigued?

Is the past truly fixed, or is it merely waiting for someone brave enough to rewrite it? The Twilight Zone loved toying with the idea that time itself might bend for the right person, and few episodes explore that temptation as directly as "The Last Flight" and "No Time Like the Past."

Walking out of Star Wars Land after the fireworks, I genuinely wondered if this was the moment we called it a night. We'd been in the parks for over twelve hours. My legs felt like they belonged to someone else and wished I’d find one of those hover chairs from Wall-E to melt into. I was ready to wave a white flag made out of a churro wrapper.

While Chris sadly couldn’t make it to this episode, Darrell is joined by special guest Adam to discuss this emotionally heavy episode of Fringe as it winds down to its climax. With only three episodes remaining, Captain Windmark narrows in on the team after discovering that Michael is part of their plan to defeat the Observers, and the result is nothing short of, well… mindblowing.

When you run your own business, there's a version of the struggle that you can push through with sheer willpower and optimism. But after a while, the optimism gets harder to manufacture. The bank account tells a different story than the one you keep rehearsing in your head, and eventually, the story the bank account is telling starts to feel more real. That's where I was a few months ago when the grind got the best of me.

I love Batman and my favorite Batman is Michael Keaton. But it’s not just his portrayal of Batman and Bruce Wayne that I love. I love Tim Burton’s art style and direction and I absolutely love Danny Elfman’s musical score. But my favorite piece of that score is not one that you’ll find in either Batman or Batman Returns. It’s a version that is only found here in Oklahoma each fall on the grounds surrounding the Palace on the Prairie.

Since the final season couldn’t offer us a nineteenth episode due to being a 13-episode order, we get our whacky, out-of-the-box episode in the form of episode 9. After dropping acid that is the titular Black Blotter, Walter goes on a trippy journey into his past and revisits some old demons, including one in the form of his former lab assistant Carla Warren who expired in a fire (see what we did there?).

The great poets Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey offered up sage advice to “Take it easy, take it easy. Don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy. Lighten up while you still can. Don’t even try to understand. Just find a place to make your stand and take it easy.” It’s good advice for sure. Jesus also had some wisdom that he shared about taking it easy, and today we’re taking a look at Jesus’ words and how they might just mean something different than you think.

Join us in welcoming Isla to the show for the first time covering this incredibly emotional gutpunch of an episode of Fringe!

September 22, 2004 is a date will always live in infamy. It's the day that set off a chain of events, a long, winding, beautifully unpredictable thread, that eventually led both you and me to this very moment right now. To this podcast. To this community. To each other. It was a day for which I will always be grateful.

Today I'm sharing something I've never talked about publicly. It's a story I almost waited to tell, because honestly, we're still in the middle of it. But I've come to believe that sometimes the most valuable lessons aren't the ones you share from the other side of the mountain. They're the ones you share from the climb.

I want to tell you about a pair of hands. Hands that could lay a straight line of carpet across a living room floor, split a cord of firewood without breaking a sweat, or coax a stubborn CV joint back into place with nothing but basic tools and a whole lot of patience. Those were my dad's hands.

A blizzard has swallowed Hawkins whole, and the gang is more fractured and in more danger than ever before. In "Enter the Storm" (Chapter Seven), Darrell and Addi break down one of the season's most intense and emotionally charged episodes yet.

Have you ever looked back at a season of your life that felt like a total waste? The season left you with feelings of frustration and regret? I've been thinking about that a lot lately, so you know I had to write a SILY about it.

A blizzard is rolling into Hawkins, and the cold outside is the least of everyone's problems. Chapter Six of Stranger Things: Tales From '85 opens with a chilling flashback to November 1984, right on the heels of the original series' second season, before snapping back to a winter that is quickly getting out of hand.

Have you ever been so deep into something that walking away felt impossible, even when everything inside you knew it wasn't working? Maybe it was a job, a relationship, a project, a bad movie you sat through anyway because you'd already watched an hour and a half of it. There's actually a name for that trap, and today's episode is all about it.

A secret photo, a tabloid newspaper, and an unknown monster lurking beneath Hawkins. This week's episode of Tales from '85 is packed with tension, teamwork, and an settling final reveal. In "The Weekly Watcher" (Chapter Five), Darrell and Addi break down one of the season's funnest episodes yet, where the Hawkins Investigators Club finds themselves in a race against the press after a polaroid photo of one of their Upside Down encounters lands in the hands of a tabloid editor.

A few years ago I was faced with a decision I knew was important. It consumed me. I spent weeks thinking about it. I consulted friends, colleagues, and professionals. I knew the stakes and I didn't want to mess it up. Finally, after carefully weighing the situation, I made my decision. And it didn't take long to realize that despite all my best efforts, I'd made the wrong choice. Fortunately, a voice emerged that became the lighthouse I desperately needed.

Secrets have a short shelf life in Hawkins, and Chapter Four of Stranger Things: Tales From '85 puts that truth front and center. A rattled Mike decides it is time to come clean to Hopper, setting off a chain of events that builds into a tense, action-packed race against something monstrous.

We are joined by Cory for this episode as we unpack yet another phenomenal, game-changing episode of Fringe! We talk about how much we love how emotionally poignant this aftermath of an episode is and how it is a great character study not only of the classic Fringe theme of what lengths someone will go to for love but also how people can experience the same tragedy but then react and grieve differently.

Sometimes the most important moment of your life doesn't feel like a moment at all. For me, it was a phone call I wasn't even on, made by two people who simply noticed a kid who needed someone to show up. This is the story of the summer that changed everything.
The post SILY 697- The Summer That Changed Everything appeared first on Golden Spiral Media- Entertainment Podcasts, Technology Podcasts & More.
Something is changing in Hawkins, and the gang is starting to realize the threat they are facing is bigger than anything they have dealt with before. Chapter Three of Stranger Things: Tales From '85, "Evolution," picks up the pace in a big way, as Nikki's mysterious past begins to come into focus and the dangers lurking around Hawkins start to evolve into something far more unsettling.

September 11th was an impact event. Kennedy's assassination was an impact event. We trust the accounts of those events from people who were there, even decades later, because impact events don't fade. If Jesus rose from the dead, that was the most profound impact event in human history. And the people who wrote about it did so at personal cost while eyewitnesses to the event were still alive to verify those accounts. Not for fame, not for money, not for power. Most of them died for it. People don't typically die for something they KNOW is a lie.

Hawkins, Indiana has a way of turning even the most ordinary things sinister, and this time, the darkness is taking root at a farm. Picking up right where the premiere left off, Chapter Two of Stranger Things: Tales From '85 wastes no time pulling the gang back into trouble.

This is such a pivotal episode of the season that pretty much sets the tone and the direction of the rest of the season, and we are so excited to be joined by frequent feedbacker Erin this week to take it on! We talk about how much we love this episode and touch upon scenes such as the reunion with Broyles and the beautiful, heartfelt conversation between Etta and Olivia.

Guilt has a way of finding you, no matter how far you run or how loudly you laugh it off. That is the dark thread binding our two episodes together this month, as we dig into a pair of Twilight Zone classics that each ask what really happens when a man refuses to answer for his actions.

When he was only 16 years old, C.S. Lewis had his first vision of what would become the land of Narnia. Just a mental image. A faun carrying an umbrella and parcels in a snowy wood. That's it. That's all he had. I recently had a dream about a mason jar full of honey. And when I woke up, I had to immediately write it down. We won't be visiting anything like Narnia today. There are no fauns, no packages, no lions, no witches. But I do hope this leaves you inspired in its own way.

Hawkins, Indiana never stays quiet for long, and in the dead of winter 1985, it's already getting weird again. Darrell and Addi are diving headfirst into Stranger Things: Tales From '85, the brand-new animated spinoff from the Duffer Brothers and showrunner Eric Robles, set between the events of Seasons 2 and 3 of the original series.

In October of 1883, a boy was born in a one-room cabin in southwest Virginia. His mother died when he was just nine years old. By thirteen, he was writing for his father's newspaper. At twenty-five, his business went bankrupt and his wife divorced him. He remarried in 1910, launched various ventures, and kept grinding through failure after failure. Then, in 1925, he wrote a book that coined a phrase and introduced a concept that would quietly change everything.

Although Chris didn’t join us this week (he had some behind-the-scenes undercover work to do with Anil), Darrell and repeat guest and frequent feedbacker ShelkyBean are here to share their thoughts on this episode of Fringe! Also sharing their thoughts on “The Recordist” are some phenomenal Fringe feedbackers like Rory, Anna (not Torv), Erin, and Geoff (xorce11)!

I’ve made it no secret on this podcast that I am a super fan of the TV show LOST. I love the mysteries, and the beautiful setting. I love the way the character stories interweave, I love the lore and history of the island. There are a lot of poignant moments and pieces of dialog that still echo in my mind today. But perhaps the most tragic line ever spoken in the series was, “Something tells me he never got around to making that call.”
The post SILY 693- Make the Call appeared first on Golden Spiral Media- Entertainment Podcasts, Technology Podcasts & More.
I love that the audience of this podcast is filled with many of those who consider themselves Christians and many of those who do not. Regardless of where you fall within those two categories, today’s episode is for you. Today we’ll be looking at a story Jesus told in Matthew chapter 25, and the lessons found in that story are ones that all of us can benefit from.

Join us this week as we, along with special guest Danielle (DillyDilly), discuss “In Absentia” - an episode that shows us somewhat of a dark turn for Etta as she captures and tortures a Loyalist. We see Olivia’s empathy and compassion shine through brighter than ever, and this is also the episode that kickstarts this season’s treasure (scavenger?) hunt.

What happens when the monsters we fear most turn out to be the ones staring back at us in the mirror? This month's episodes use the lens of fear and pride to pull back the curtain and reveal the truth of human vulnerability. Whether it's a man who fancies himself the judge of all evil or two people undone by their own panic, the Twilight Zone reminds us that our greatest threats often come from within

Welcome to Stuff I Learned Yesterday. My name is Darrell Darnell, I am looking forward to covering the Stranger Things spinoff, "Tales from '85" next month with my daughter, and I believe that if you aren’t learning, you aren’t living.

Some evenings you take a walk and wonder if the tides are listening. In today’s story, the shore holds more than shells and driftwood. A mysterious traveler drifts ashore in a tale older than sand, bringing with him a question every one of us has asked themselves: If you could rewrite the past, what would you change? Three choices flicker like lanterns in the dusk, each one a doorway for you to walk through. What would you gain? Perhaps more importantly, what would you lose?

For generations, the path to success seemed clear: graduate high school, go to college, get a degree, land a good job, climb the corporate ladder. But what happens when that formula stops working? When the degree doesn't lead to the career? When AI disrupts entire industries overnight? When companies value credentials over competence? The rules of education and career advancement are changing faster than ever before. It's time to rethink everything we thought we knew about education, success, and what really matters.

I recently finished watching the final season of Stranger Things. Without spoiling anything for those of you who haven't seen it yet, there's a profound conversation near the end of the season. One character is struggling with the weight of a painful loss and the guilt that comes with it. Another character, who's been down a similar road, offers some wisdom about the choice we all face when dealing with difficult relationships and painful circumstances. The moment I heard the conversation tears began rolling down my face. It absolutely wrecked me and taught me something powerful.

Welcome back, cortexifans, to our fifth and final season! We are kicking things off a tad unconventionally by starting off season 5… with a season 4 episode! “Letters of Transit” was Fringe’s whacky, out of the box 19th episode of season 4 and truly behaves as the backdoor premiere to season 5 which is why we ultimately decided to watch it and cover it that way.
The post S5E1 Letters of Transit appeared first on Golden Spiral Media- Entertainment Podcasts, Technology Podcasts & More.
I thought I had it all figured out. I'd driven that route dozens of times. I knew exactly where I was going. I didn't need any help. So I turned off the GPS and relied on my own knowledge and experience. And that's exactly when things went sideways. Sometimes I turned it off too early and ended up heading the wrong direction. Other times I turned it on too late and missed my opportunity to avoid trouble altogether. In both cases, the problem was the same. I thought I knew better. I thought I could handle it on my own.

Can the truth be both our salvation and our damnation, depending on how desperately we need to escape ourselves? "Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room" follows small-time hood Jackie Rhoades as he confronts his reflection in a mirror that forces him to face his true self and choose between continuing his criminal life or finding redemption. Meanwhile, "The Whole Truth" centers on a used car salesman who acquires a cursed car that compels anyone who owns it to tell nothing but the absolute truth, ultimately destroying his dishonest livelihood and forcing him to confront his own moral bankruptcy.

The final chapter of Stranger Things has closed, and the Hawkins crew is gone but not forgotten. After years of covering every twist, monster, and Upside Down revelation, we're gathering with listeners who've been on this journey from the beginning to dissect what worked, what didn't, and what it all meant. From the emotional gut punches to the unresolved mysteries, we're leaving no stone unturned as we not only examine the series finale and final season that everyone's been debating since it dropped, but all the seasons and moments that led us there.

Heroes have been a part of American pop culture for decades. We’ve seen them come to life on the pages of comic books and movie screens, and heard them sung about by some of our favorite musical artists. Songs by David Bowie and Foo Fighters are some of my favorites, but I think Mariah Carey’s song about heroes is probably the best one to match up with today’s story.

There's something disarming about simple honesty. When someone messes up and immediately says, "I'm sorry. This was my fault. Here's what happened, and here's how I'm going to make it right," it stops the blame game before it starts. It shifts the conversation from finger-pointing to problem-solving. It builds trust instead of eroding it.

Our date had been magical. The horse-drawn carriage ride through the Victorian town adorned with Christmas lights was beautiful and romantic. It was a cold evening, but the beauty and sparkle of the lights, seeing the smile on her face, and enjoying the peaceful moment together made it all worthwhile. But moments later I realized I’d made a critical error, and the rest of our evening was going to be ruined.

This is the final episode in a three-part series based on 1 Corinthians 13:13, which says, "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." In December we examined faith in episode 674, "Faith on Trial." In January we explored hope in episode 679, "Hope in the Unseen." Today we conclude with love.

What if getting exactly what you want is the moment everything starts to go wrong? Two Twilight Zone tales explore the seductive promise of beating the odds, only to reveal how quickly fortune curdles into fate. In both stories, ordinary people glimpse a shortcut to a better life — a way around struggle, chance, and limitation. But Serling’s universe has rules, and tampering with destiny comes at a cost. These episodes tease the fantasy of control while quietly tightening the trap, asking whether luck is ever truly a gift… or just destiny collecting payment in advance.

I wasn’t prepared for what I was about to experience. I mean, I was 42 years old, less than a month away from turning 42, and I was about to do something many people have done by the time they were a teenager.

In that moment, I knew how Al Bundy from “Married with Children” must have felt every time Kelly brought home one of her boyfriends. I never expected that coping with the idea of my daughter having her first boyfriend would be easy, but I never thought it would be like this. On one hand, I appreciated his honesty. On the other hand, his honesty led him to tell me, “I just want you to know that I’ve been arrested and spent time at juvie.”

Near the end of "The Shawshank Redemption," escaped prisoner Andy Dufresne writes to his friend Red: "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies." But earlier, Red had warned Andy differently: "Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane." Two perspectives on hope. One life-giving, one destructive. Which is right?

Unfortunately, we didn't receive any new contributions for today's Monday Mailbag, but I didn't want to go without sharing an episode with you. So this week I'm brining back the first Monday Mailbag episode. This episode originally aired in April of 2024 and has some great contributions from Geoff, Barb, Colby, Bradley, and Andrew.

Plans on plans on plans—and YOU had thoughts on ALL of them! "Shock Jock" kicked off Volume 2 with teams scattered across two dimensions executing elaborate strategies, and our inbox absolutely exploded with your theories, reactions, and breakdowns. Hosts Darrell and Addi are dedicating this entire episode to listener contributions because you brought the fire on every major moment!

Three teams across two dimensions are executing bold and dangerous plans—and if you think nothing could go wrong, you haven't been watching Stranger Things.

'80s pop queen Tiffany's "I Think We’re Alone Now" just invaded Vecna's dream world—and in this explosive episode, the legend spills exclusively on the Upside Down magic. We sit down for a thrilling and fun chat where she reveals her phone "blowing up" after episode 3, the joy of watching Holly Wheeler dance, bake, and sass her on cassette tape ("just a pop star!"), and why it feels like pure '80s full-circle for a die-hard Stranger Things fan.

We hope that you have fearless… auditory passages (?) because we are here to share a short story about love along with frequent feedbacker Eric (or Eric from Pennsylvania as you’d prefer). This was such a fun episode to record especially since we love some aspects of this episode and not so much others. We love that we get some counterbalancing feedback from Geoff (xforce11) as well as some feedback from Rory, Anna (not Torv), Erin, ShelkyBean, and Patty from Canadia!

For most of us, reading the Old Testament is not fun. All of those names and laws are difficult to read and are the reason many who have tried reading the Bible from cover to cover often fail once they get to Leviticus. Those books do serve a purpose, though, and today we’ll explore that. It’s a bit of a deep dive, but because the laws are so misunderstood by today’s culture, it’s important we take the time to explore this fully.

We are joined by Jerame for this episode as we discuss one of the best, most pivotal episodes of Fringe!

Sometimes we fail to allow grace in our own lives. Once we miss or fail for any reason, we allow those feelings of failure to defeat us causing us to miss more often or quit altogether. It’s important to understand you will miss the mark sometimes. It’s equally important to think about that up front so that you have an understanding and a plan for how to respond and get right back to keeping up the good habit you’re trying to maintain.

I struggled for a long time about whether or not to share this story with you because I felt like it was a story that was not very common and therefore not very applicable. But then I realized this story is very common. If you peel back the layers a bit here, you realize that the first step was the thoughts in the mind of one or more of the employees. They were disgruntled for whatever reason and allowed those thoughts to fester.

As we were raising our kids we knew eventually we'd have to make a decision on cell phones, and it became an issue, a struggle, a battle. For parents today, that battle starts at an even earlier age. It’s a tough battle to traverse, a minefield of dangers with a few benefits sprinkled in. Do those benefits make navigating the dangers worth it? If so, at what age are those battles worth waging?

I would guess that John 3:16 is the most commonly known and quoted Bible verse, but perhaps the passage at the forefront of today’s episode would place second on that list. Today we’re looking at Matthew 7:1, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” We see this verse thrown out all the time by people when they feel like Christians are judging them. The Bible tells the Christian not to judge, therefore, the Christian is wrong when they proclaim something as sin or tell someone they should repent. Right?

What happens when reality itself becomes unreliable, and the very fabric of existence begins to unravel before our eyes?

In the original Zelda game, Link can earn a new sword, the white sword, once he has expanded his health to five hearts. Once Link has twelve hearts, he is capable of wielding the most powerful sword in the game, the magical sword. In much the same way, as we adventure in our jobs, parenting, relationships, and all facets of life, we should be leveling up. We should be improving our skills, learning better methods, finding lessons in defeat, making notes for future battles, and investing in tools which will help us reach our ultimate goals.

According to Google AI, a Minimum Viable Product is a stripped-down version of a product or feature designed to be released early and get customer feedback. It focuses on the core functionality necessary to address a key customer need and allow for rapid iteration and learning. Essentially, it's a way to test an idea with the least amount of effort and cost before investing heavily in a full-fledged product. FAR too often our desire for perfection turns into fear of failure. We never launch. Perhaps whether we know it or not we have a great MVP, we just don’t ever let it get off the bench and enter the game.

Christian friends, we must remember that political movements are not the main thing. The Jews of Jesus’ time refused to believe he was the Messiah in part because they expected the Messiah to be a political hero that would rescue them from Roman occupation. But Jesus was never here for those man-made systems, or to use a phrase from a recent episode, those man-made kingdoms. Jesus was focused on bringing people into his kingdom, and so should we.

Thirty six days ago my OKC Thunder won the NBA championship! Watching my city and state grow over the last 30 years has been incredible.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau famously said, “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.” He’s right. Patience is bitter. As I look back on those times now, I see so much growth that happened in the waiting. Jean-Jacques Rousseau IS right. Not only is patience bitter but its fruit is truly sweet. Those years between buyer and director shaped me and prepared me for my future. The skills I acquired, the relationships I fostered, and the person I became during that time ended up making me uniquely qualified and prepared for the next phase of my career.

Unlike the annoying barn swallows occupying my porch, my son has flown from the nest never to return. He’s spread his wings, experienced the freedom and independence that comes with that stage of life, and he is perfectly content to navigate those waters on his own. He knows full well that we were just a phone call away and less than an hour away if we are needed, and that he can reach out to us for any need he has. I was not ready for this. It bummed me out and made me sad. One day it was hitting me especially hard. I was super proud of him and his independent spirit, but I was missing my boy. In that moment of reflection, I realized that I’d done the same thing when I was his age.

Today’s story is pulled from a television episode that aired 25 years ago. However, its claims about the Bible are ones that I still see being used often today, and the very scene has been making the rounds on social media this year, which is why I decided to address it on this podcast. It’s easy to see why the Old Testament laws can be confusing and hopefully it’s easy to see why I’ll be devoting an entire episode to this topic. What we see in this clip from the West Wing is not an example of putting someone in their place. No, what we see in this clip is what plagues our culture. That is, Biblical illiteracy. In fact, this clip demonstrates Biblical illiteracy from both President Bartlet and Dr. Jacobs.

In 2017 I received an email from a podcast associate of mine named Shawn. I reached out to Shawn to learn more about the mission and determine how much I could donate to make maximum impact. Shawn was great with answering my questions, but the conversation didn’t go as I expected. Rather than simply taking my money, Shawn repeatedly emphasized that the best impact I could make was not in purchasing multiple stoves and floors. Instead, he insisted the biggest impact would be made if I joined him in Guatemala.

You could say that nobody steals Thor’s thunder. He is the god of thunder, after all. But perhaps he’s the only one who is immune to having their thunder stolen. It took me years to see this fault in myself. To be honest, I’m still not convinced I’m capable of realizing that I’ve stolen someone’s thunder until a great deal of time has passed. That scares me a little. And that’s the lesson for today. If you’re like me, you love the thrill of getting set free to take an idea and run with it. That’s a great feeling and often comes with rewarding outcomes. Just don’t take off without first taking a look around you.

As we stood there on the shore of San Diego Bay taking in the sights of Comic-Con, Clint looked at me and asked, “Darrell, why do you do all of this?” I took a moment and gave him an answer I wasn’t happy with then and I’m not happy with now. I told him that I enjoyed being around the celebrities and learning about all the new stuff that’s coming out on TV this season. He looked at me with a dissatisfied expression. I’ve thought a lot about it since then, and here’s the truthful answer he deserved that day. I wanted the recognition. I wanted the notoriety. I was motivated heavily by selfish ambitions.

The Bible has a lot to say about God and his attributes, and it’s easy to understand how some of these passages can be interpreted to paint God into an image similar to that of Oz. But is that accurate? Just as Dorothy and her friends learned the truth about Oz when they pulled back the curtain and had a face to face conversation with him, I think if we dig in and pull back the curtain a bit today, a better understanding of God’s character will be revealed.

Certainly the fact that we have the capacity to think signifies our existence. However, I’ve seen too many people who think they don’t exist because no one seems to notice them or acknowledge them.

The word gospel simply means good news. For many of us when we hear the word gospel we think of good news that Jesus came and died to pay the penalty for our sin and provide a way to reconcile us with God. That is indeed good news!

Cons are a great place to take your kids and create great memories. When I talk about the benefits of going to cons, I’m not just talking about comic-cons.

The resurrection is everything. Paul put it this way, “if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.” After all, if a man who claimed to be God, received worship as if he were God, forgave sins claiming he had the authority of God, claimed that he would die and three days later be raised from the dead, and claimed that he was the only way to God, actually supernaturally rose from the dead, wouldn’t that give credibility to everything he said and claimed? Indeed it would.

The Twilight Zone can be a cruel adjudicator doling out ironic punishments to characters whose desires ultimately become their undoing. Greed, short-sightedness, and the notion that "heaven" and "prosperity" aren't what they seem are the focus this month, and the characters in these stories find themselves on the receiving end of the most poetic kind of criminal justice.

Tiana is so inspiring. Rather than looking at the loss of her father and her fellow chef as a reason to quit, she let it propel her to be even greater to honor him and the dream that they shared. Her work ethic is uncompromised. When others try to derail her or get her to take time off, she refuses. She stays focused on her dream, works hard, puts in the extra time and effort that she knows it will take in order for her dream to come true. But she wasn’t done dreaming. She wasn’t settling, easing off the gas, becoming complacent, or satisfied. Grateful? Yes. Happy? Totally. Enjoying the moment? All of it. We’re always almost there, and that’s an inspiring place to be.

How many of us go to work every day to jobs that crush us and eat away at us. How many of us have bosses that yell or toss out insults? Maybe they are driven only by results, never pausing to think or care about the well-being of those in their employ. It can beat us down emotionally, psychologically, and even physically. Success comes in the preparation, and the preparation comes by communicating. Communication brings understanding and understanding brings patience and support. When you’re understanding and supporting what each other needs, that’s where serenity is found.

It’s not fun to be exposed whether it’s related to your receding hairline or your personal sin. Trust me. I know about both of these all too well. We humans do a pretty good job of convincing ourselves that we have our moral act together. We have a sin problem, every single one of us. And God is holy, morally perfect. Jesus teaches that the only way a perfect God and a sinful person can be reconciled is if we choose to humble ourselves before God and throw ourselves upon His mercy. And the way that God offers mercy and forgiveness is through the death of his son Jesus on the cross.

In the shadowy realm of the Twilight Zone, "Night Call" and "Mr. Garrity and the Graves" present haunting narratives where the boundary between life and death blurs with terrifying results.Both stories examine profound isolation and unresolved guilt, while warning against disrupting natural boundaries. The episodes share a powerful cautionary message about tampering with the natural order, delivering ironic justice to those who fail to accept finality. In both stories, the disturbed dead return not as comforting presences but as reminders that some separations must remain permanent.

A wise person once said that fools buy things they don’t want with money they don’t have to impress people they don’t like. This is the adult version of bungee jumping to try and be like your step-brother. Stop basing your decisions on what you hope or perceive to be the opinions of people who don’t even care about you. Base your decisions on those closest to you and put your focus on those people. Sometimes the change in focus will end up leading you to the same spot, but at least you’ll have gotten there for the right reasons and with the right people by your side.

We’ve seen it depicted in countless ways for all of our lives. Families torn apart by a variety of things, most of which can be summed up by failing to be present. I will always be grateful to Sammy for teaching me this valuable lesson at such a young age: wherever you are, be there. It helped me establish boundaries that have protected my marriage, my family, and my career. Boundaries are incredibly important. When we fail to honor them, other things creep in, take over, steal us away, and leave a wake of destruction in their path.

That Greek phrase "Na einai kalytero anthropo apo ton patera toy" translates to “Be a better man than your father.” Being a better man than our fathers should be the goal of each one of us. Whether our dad set a low bar or a high bar, we owe it to our families to not only be the best we know how to be, but to learn from others so we can be even better than we could otherwise be. My dad heroically ended generations of alcoholism, abuse, and fear. I have tried very hard to be an even better man than my father, and I hope with all that is in me that my son is a better man than me.

The Church IS full of hypocrites. That’s the point. The point of church is to help each other grow. To hold each other up, study together, pray together, worship together, and serve together. Warts, flaws, struggles, and everything. For you Christians, let’s be ever mindful of how our behavior affects others. We are called to a higher standard.

“For all intents and purposes, that was the day we died.” We pick right up where we left off at the end of 3.21 for the season 3 finale of Fringe and are joined by the great David Wu (who also has a Fringetastic surprise to share!) to discuss this emotionally devastating episode with a cliffhanger that will fundamentally change Fringe as we know it for the remainder of its run!

Time is a fun concept to explore and the Twilight Zone did plenty of playing in that sandbox. "A Kind of Stopwatch" follows the story of a man named McNulty who comes into possession of a stopwatch that can stop time. Excited by his newfound power, he uses it for personal gain but eventually discovers there are unintended consequences. "90 Years Without Slumbering" stars Ed Wynn and centers on an elderly man named Sam who believes his life is tied to the functioning of his old grandfather clock. As he becomes obsessed with keeping it running, he learns to reconcile his fear of mortality and discovers peace.

Of course, each of us have seen the glow of the city before, but this time it was different. This time it seemed much, much brighter. But the truth is, it had been so long since either of us had ventured outside the lights of the city or the major highways coming into the city, that we’d forgotten just how big the glow is when you remove yourself from it. It’s not just the lights or hustle and bustle of the city that we can become blind to. In today’s world of cell phones, tablets, mobile computing, and internet-enabled automobiles, most of us are always connected to the grid whether we live in the city or not.

I’ve seen countless photos and videos of the Lincoln Memorial, but seeing with my own eyes was magnificent. Many consider Lincoln to be the greatest president of all time, and it’s hard to argue otherwise. The details carved into every part of the memorial left me in awe. I felt like I was standing at the feet of greatness. It’s easy to see why Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would stand at this very spot and deliver his “I Have a Dream” speech 100 years after Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. Four score and 7 years is equal to 87 years, and it’s exactly that number of steps from the top of the Lincoln Memorial to the nearby reflecting pool. Today I’ll reflect on those moments I spent standing at the feet of Lincoln.

We are joined by special guest Marianne this week as we discuss “The Last Sam Weiss,” the penultimate episode of both this three-episode arc and of the third season. We share what we love about this episode (especially the acting from various cast members as well as the great character development that we get with Walter) but also discuss our disappointment around the enigma that is the titular Sam Weiss not being fully explained, seeming to be a thread that was ultimately dismissed.

Rat Race. No, I’m not referring to the 2001 film starring Rowan Atkinson, John Cleese, and Cuba Gooding Jr. I’m referring to that trap many of us fall into. Wikipedia says a rat race is an endless, self-defeating, or pointless pursuit. The phrase equates humans to rats attempting to earn a reward such as cheese, in vain. Don’t get me wrong, this is not entirely bad. After all, our career is how we earn our income and our income is how we provide for our family. Providing for our family is honorable, right? Yes, of course it is. I think we all have a desire to create a better life for those we love that is better than the one we ourselves have experienced.

The Bible is alive, it does speak to me. As I read it and go through my day, it shapes my thoughts and actions.

During the second quarter of a football game last season as the crowd was raucously cheering on the home team, my friend leaned over to me and said, “Can I ask you a question?” “Sure,” I said. “What’s the secret to raising girls?” Of all the questions he could have asked me in that moment, I never would have guessed that would be it.

The fact is, AI and robotics are coming. If they haven’t already started to change or disrupt some part of your life, it’s only a matter of time before they do. For me, I’ve discovered ways to use AI to better my skills and provide improved services to my clients. But I’ve barely scratched the surface of how AI can be used in my industry. It’s challenging because AI is changing quickly and what AI once did in a way that was sloppy is quickly becoming quality.

Many depictions of the Christmas story include the wise men at the manger most likely for the sake of simplicity. That doesn’t mean the Bible is incorrect, but that depictions of the story are incorrect. What some skeptics do consider to be a contradiction is the differences in where the family lived and traveled after Jesus was born. Are these indeed contradictions that disprove the Biblical story of Jesus' birth?

This month we look at two episodes which share the common theme of time being unnaturally halted and the moral quandaries that such power presents. In "Elegy," three astronauts become stranded on an asteroid which shares characteristics similar to earth Earth. Soon they discover people frozen in time, evoking themes of time suspension and existential anxiety. Similarly, "Still Valley" follows a Confederate soldier discovering a village frozen by a mysterious spell, presenting him with moral dilemmas regarding the use of this power to assist the Confederacy.

Elephants do indeed have excellent memories. If you’re like me, you think of this fact as a good thing. That is, if someone says you have a memory like an elephant, you’d take it as a compliment.

We hope that you will stowaway with us on the Fringe train as we discuss this unique episode of Fringe - unique in that Anna Torv is not playing Olivia Dunham or an Olivia Dunham alternate but rather the man behind the curtain himself - William Bell (or Bellivia or Spolive as you prefer). We also finally get to meet the Blueverse version of Lincoln Lee (or Special Agent Hottie as you prefer), and we discuss what we like and maybe don’t like as much on rewatch.

John looked at my problem and offered up his idea of the best solution. Like C-3PO I looked at that path as too rocky. Not only was it more than I had the budget for, I knew that building the app was just the beginning. I’d have to keep a developer on retainer for bug fixes, updates, and security management. I didn’t want to be in the software development business. So I looked for a smoother path.

Growing up I always enjoyed adventure and platforming games best while my brother enjoyed sports games best. In fact, whether it was in physical sports we played in the yard or virtual sports we played via video games, I never once beat my brother. That is, until one day while spending the weekend with our grandparents we rented Joe Montana Football. That fateful day I discovered he was unable to defend the bootleg pass and I beat him something like 100-7. It was a glorious day and one that I have never let him live down. It was my one bright shining moment in a lifetime of athletic failure.

We had each channeled our inner Grandpa Joe and allowed the alluring wonders of a chocolate factory to serve as our motivation for getting out of bed that day. After a quick stroll down the pier to meet up with our driver, we soon found ourselves standing at the curb of Graycliff Chocolatier. Once inside we were given protective gowns and hair nets. I first assumed these were to protect the chocolate from getting contaminated by those of us on the tour. I eventually discovered it was also to protect our clothing from all of the chocolatey goodness we’d enjoy that day!

The 16mm Shrine" and "Static" are Twilight Zone episodes thematically linked by the persistent pull of nostalgia. In "The 16mm Shrine," audiences witness an actress so enchanted by her cinematic past that she chooses to inhabit it, distancing herself from the present realm. On the other hand, "Static" features a man rediscovering a vintage radio that transmits echoes of his past joys.

Whether it’s your heart, brain, or gut, there’s definitely something to be said about these intuition moments. I’ve used my gut to make thousands of decisions over the course of my life, some of which I was very aware of how my gut played into the decision, and I’m sure many others where it happened so naturally that I didn’t even realize it. I’m sure you’re the same way too. Today I want to share two stories that haunt me to this day that taught me at a young age the power of being sensitive to your gut. Both of these stories happened after I’d moved off to college, but before I’d reached my 20th birthday.

When we face uncertain times, we are wise when we tap into the experience of others who have walked down the road before. We have to face our fears and move forward. Once we make that decision to move forward, it’s best if we have a friend and confidant to hold us by the hand and carry us through. We don’t need to go through those experiences alone, and we’re much better off when we have that trusted friend to support us along the winding path that gets us to our destination.

In case you’re wondering if there was a time in my life when I was a pastor that I’ve not shared with you before, I have not. In fact, I have never been in full time ministry. With an episode title of Professing Your Faith, you might think that this episode is about how to tell other people about Jesus.

The truth is out there, but do you recognize it when you hear it? "The Old Man in the Cave" is about a post-apocalyptic community guided by a mysterious old man in a cave who provides crucial advice for survival.

"Black Leather Jackets" involves three alien bikers who infiltrate a small town as part of a conquest plan but face unexpected human emotions.

Back in episode 597 I mentioned that I sold my beloved 1972 MGB GT. For those of you who have followed me on social media for a while, you may have seen me first mention that I sold it back in February of this year, and a few days later I first mentioned that I’d actually purchased its replacement last October, fixed that car up, and had been driving it ever since. So WHY did I sell my dream car just a few years after buying it? Several of you asked me to share that side of the story, and that’s exactly what I’ll do today.

I think we’ve all been in a situation where either we as kids or when we were older with kids of our own ran into someone that we hadn’t seen in a while. Maybe it was a family member at a reunion or perhaps it was an old friend at the grocery store. Either way, that person looks at the kid and is surprised at how much they’ve grown. Even us as parents can have this experience with our own kids when we look at their first day of school picture versus their last day of school picture. We’re so close to them every day, that we’ve not noticed the small incremental changes that have taken place over time.

Okay let me be real with you. When I put together an episode, I start with a moment from my life that has impacted me in some way. In the process of impacting me, I can typically look at it and see a clear, big lesson. This story is not like that. It’s obvious that the story I’ve shared with you today has impacted me in a deep, emotional way. But what is the clear, big lesson? I’m not sure. However, I do have a few things that come to mind as I ponder this story. Maybe they are big takeaways, maybe they aren’t. I’ll let you be the judge of that.

For today’s episode, let’s think about the disciples. If you were to gather up 12 of your friends for a meal, you can imagine the different characteristics and personality types that would be represented around that table. Jesus’ disciples were no different. Today we’re going to focus on one of the disciples named Peter. Before Peter encountered Jesus, his profession was a fisherman. He would have been educated at a young age to understand the Jewish laws and customs, but as he grew older he would have to have been selected by a rabbi to continue studying and learning the Jewish law at a scholarly level. If he was rejected by all possible rabbis, he would have had to enter a trade, most likely the family trade. It would have been a high and exclusive honor to have been selected by a rabbi, and the vast majority of people were not. Since Peter is a fisherman, we know that the latter was true of him. In fact, at that time his name wasn't Peter, it was Simon.

What if Cliff had never started his podcast about the TV show LOST. What if JJ had never been brought in to fix the original script for LOST?

As a fully grown adult who loves marching bands and symphonies, I love the sound, size, and shape of the baritone. But as a scrawny middle school boy, I hated it. To me, it was only slightly better than the tuba. The tuba was the worst instrument. Only the fat nerdy kids played tuba and the baritone was its slightly less horrific cousin. I got to play treble clef music like a trumpet instead of bass clef music like a tuba, so that made it tolerable for me.

All of us make instant judgments and develop opinions of people the instant we see them before we’ve even met them or heard them utter a word. Respect and authority are a two way street. I firmly believe we should respect those in authority over us. However, only fools think that just because they have authority they must be respected. As a recovering fool, I can testify that true respect is earned, not given. When authority is handled with humility, respect is not only returned, it is accompanied with loyalty.

So I set aside time every day to pray. While I had no idea where I would end up, God did. While I had no idea what the makeup of my team would be, God did. While I had no idea whether or not I’d take over a new store or an existing store, God did. As I prayed, I asked God to shape me into the leader that my future team would need. I asked him to help me be humble, learn from Sammy the skills I would need, and prepare me for what lay ahead. I prayed for my team. I asked God to help prepare them. I asked him to work in their hearts to give them an attitude of humility and a desire to learn. I asked God to bless them and prepare them for the future we would have together.

Themed around groups of people making an escape, this month we look at two iconic Twilight Zone episodes: "Third from the Sun" and "On Thursday We Leave for Home." Season One's "Third from the Sun" presents a story steeped in the dread and anticipation of a nuclear apocalypse, following a desperate plan by a group of individuals to escape their doomed planet. Season Four's episode, "On Thursday We Leave for Home" offers a look into the psychological and social dynamics of a leader who faces the reality of relinquishing control as his colonists prepare to return to Earth after 30 years. Both episodes masterfully explore the human condition under extreme circumstances, highlighting themes of hope, fear, authority, and the longing for safety.

I thought the New Kids were amazing. Girls liked the New Kids because they were cute, I liked the New Kids because they were cool. I heard someone once say that girls want to be with the New Kids, and guys want to be the New Kids. That was certainly true for me. I bought magazines of them and hung their pictures on my wall. I studied their wardrobe and tried to find clothes that looked like them. One time while in Walmart I saw a poster of Jordan that I liked. I asked my dad if he would buy the Jordan poster for me. I still remember the look of disappointment on his face when it turned out to be a poster of Jordan Knight instead of Michael Jordan. He didn’t buy me the poster.

Things are definitely heating up in the Blueverse as Foelivia/Fauxlivia takes things to the next level to secure Peter’s trust and we learn that Senator Van Horn has been a Shapeshifter this whole time!

Making the world a better place doesn’t just happen from stages in front of crowds of strangers. Whether it’s your family, co-workers, colleagues, or a room full of total strangers, you have an opportunity before you. That opportunity is one that allows you to communicate love and encouragement, truth and compassion, kindness and generosity. Look around you, ponder, and consider how you might be able to make the world better for even just one person this week. We can all be world changers, and even if it’s only for the world of one, it’s worth the effort.

I've realized that I get most frustrated with my kids when they are making mistakes that I made when I was their age. Sometimes it’s something involving their friends, other times it’s the way they spend their money, and sometimes it’s mistakes I see them making with their boyfriend or girlfriend. It could be any number of mistakes really. When I talk with my wife about it, I usually end up saying, “I remember the time I did that.” I want so much for each of my kids to heed my advice and not make the stupid mistakes I made. I want to spare them the pain. But I know that’s just not the way we humans operate. To err is human is painfully true.

We also talk about Olivia and how her true self is beginning to breach through the Fauxlivia/Foelivia facade.

I think it’s important to make a distinction in believing the Bible is true, and that the Bible should be taken literally. What I mean is, it’s possible to believe that the Bible is inspired by God, written down under inspiration by humans, and therefore, true (or inerrant). It’s also possible to simultaneously believe that the Bible should not be taken literally. Or better said, it’s possible to simultaneously believe the Bible should not always be taken literally. Rather than taking the Bible literally at all times, I would argue that the Bible should be taken as it’s intended.

Today is the Monday Mailbag! In today’s episode I share contributions from Geoff, Barb, Colby, Bradley, and Andrew. Did you know that mail delivery has been around since the 1500s? In 1505, Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I established a postal system in the Empire, appointing Franz von Taxis to run it. This system, originally the Kaiserliche Reichspost, is often considered the first modern postal service in the world, which initiated a revolution in communication in Europe.

Nothing is civil about war, and nothing is ever as it seems in The Twilight Zone. This month we take a look at two Civil War themed episodes, "The Passerby" from season 3 and "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" from season 5. Each episode not only plays in the sandbox of Civil War themes, but also takes a look at the supernatural realm, passing through to the afterlife, family, and paying for one's acts while on earth.

I love escape rooms. It’s no surprise really. I love all sorts of puzzles. Solving various puzzle-types is one reason I love The Legend of Zelda franchise so much. Once I learned about escape rooms, I had to try one out. To me, they seemed like a real life example of a Zelda dungeon puzzle. I remember asking my family about doing an escape room and it went just about like I expected. My son, who also loves puzzles and Zelda was all about it. He was super excited about the idea. My wife and daughter, on the other hand, were not excited at all.

After a bit of a break between seasons, we are back to tackle season 3, cortexifans! We are starting, of course, with the season 3 premiere, simply titled “Olivia,” which shows us the immediate aftermath of the shocking cliffhanger at the end of season 2. With Olivia trapped in the Redverse and her team not realizing it because Fauxlivia/Altlivia/Bolivia (take your pick) is undercover pretending to be her, she runs and hides from Walternate and Fringe Division, befriending a taxi driver named Henry along the way. Join us as we discuss everything that we love about this premiere.

As parents, we want to make lasting memories with our kids. We want to have shared experiences that make the bonds between us stronger. We want to give our kids the Disney experience. In preparing to write this episode I messaged my kids separately and asked them to share with me their three favorite memories that involve us as a family. I told them at least one parent had to be involved in the memory. I framed the question this way because Scott was focused on making memories as a family.

To share one’s faith story, or testimony as you prefer, is to share how you came to faith in Jesus, and share how God has been active in your life. In today’s episode I’ll be sharing my story of coming to faith and some of what I’ve seen God do in my life. You may have noticed that I used two different qualifiers in that last sentence. I’ll only be sharing “some” things with you today because there are more things that will be shared in future episodes, and to say that I’m sharing what I’ve “seen” God do implies that He’s done things in my life that I am unaware of. I’m most certain that is true.

Music has the power to enchant, stir emotions, calm the spirit, and heal. This month we take a look at two episodes that use the power of music to explore the impact of music. In season 3, "A Piano in the House" takes a look at the sides of our humanity that we all try to hide, by using music to expose those hidden faces. In season 5, "Come Wander With Me" is a somewhat disjointed story that still leaves us enchanted and mesmerized by Mary Rachel and her melody.

Hitting the wall is an expression typically applied to athletes, or more specifically, runners. When a runner "hits the wall," they experience an intense and abrupt state of exhaustion, where the body essentially runs out of fuel. This typically occurs during long-distance events, like marathons, around the 18 to 20-mile mark. Runners describe it as an almost instantaneous shift from feeling strong and capable to feeling as if they can barely move.

When we feel a calling yearning within us, we should listen to what it is saying and ponder how we should respond. In my case, when I listened to the voices of all those around me, those voices all confirmed what my inner voice was telling me to do. We should also take immediate action before that excitement and vigor have a chance to subside. Making goals and setting timelines are great ways to leverage the momentum of an exciting idea.

Alternate dimensions and parallel worlds is not something The Twilight Zone was afraid to explore, and this month we take a look at two excellent examples of this type of storytelling. Season 3 "Little Girl Lost" explores a scenario where a young girl named Tina slips into the fourth dimension via a portal that opens up in her bedroom wall. The following season in "The Parallel" we see astronaut Robert Gaines transported to a parallel earth where he has a slightly different family in a slightly different house and JFK is unknown.

We, of course (and by we, we mean Patty), tackle some of the science in this episode and whether or not it all makes sense. We also talk about our favorite moments from this finale and how amazing Anna is in it, and we talk about aspects of the third season that this finale potentially foreshadows.

Returning to the main Fringe canon, we find out where Peter went after disappearing at the end of “The Man from the Other Side” - none other than the literal northwest, Washington State! Here he meets Sheriff Ann Mathis (one of the show’s best episodic characters played wonderfully by The Goonies’ Martha Plimpton) as he helps her investigate a string of murders that feel uncomfortably close to Newton’s M.O. Meanwhile, Olivia and Astrid help Walter deal with the aftermath of Peter leaving. Our guest host, Rachel, helps us untangle all of the references that this episode has to the classic show Twin Peaks!

Geoff (xforce11) joins us for this episode to discuss the first of four especially whacky Fringe episodes, Brown Betty, (of which we would get one each season from here on out). In this one, Walter, deeply troubled after the disappearance of Peter, tells Ella a story in which Olivia is a noir detective investigating the disappearance of Peter after he stole Walter’s mechanical heart, except, as Walter tells Ella more than once, things are not quite as they seem. We talk about our thoughts on the short musical numbers, the noir atmosphere, and the many anachronisms.

Rod Serling was no stranger to the atrocities of what Hitler's Nazi party did to Jews during the Holocaust. He fought in WWII, battled anti-semitism in his own home state, and through the power of his pen fought to bring light to this hate in an effort to end racism of every kind. As brilliant as he was, we unfortunately still find racism all around us and Jews are still being attacked more than any other group today. This month we look at two episodes that Rod wrote to shed light on the horrors of the Nazi party, and express his confidence that their ultimate judgement awaited them. These episodes are "Judgement Night" from season 1 and "Death's Head Revisited" from season 3. These episodes stand as proof that The Twilight Zone is just as relevant today as it was in the 1960's.

We created a lot of great Disney memories in 2023 and as alwyas, choosing our favorites is no easy task. This year our hosts had Disney expeirences in Hawaii, Anaheim, Orlando, the Caribbean, as well as movie theaters and their living rooms. Regardless of the location Disney gave us a lot to enjoy. This episode not only serves as our annual time of reflection, but it also will be our final episode for Mouse House Weekly. It has been our honor and pleasure to bring you Disney content over the last four years.

The Man From the Other Side is (at least in correct people’s opinions) one of the best episodes of the entire series of Fringe! Something that we had been anticipating for such a long time - the culmination of the secret that Walter has been keeping for so long and it finally being exposed to Peter. In this climactic, pivotal episode (which really, in a lot of ways, leads fairly directly into the incredible two-part season finale in a few episodes), Peter finally inadvertently discovers that he is from the Redverse, and the scene that follows is one of the best acted, most emotional scenes of the entire series, with absolutely top-notch acting from both Josh Jackson and, of course, John Noble!

Goodbyes and endings are so difficult sometimes, but Disney is known for creating some of the most beloved and memorable endings ever put to film.

The episode follows Dr. Peck as he tries repeatedly to travel back in time to the day his fiancée was killed in a car accident so that he can be reunited with her. It’s a beautiful episode with a powerful ending that sets the stage for Peter finally learning the truth of his origin in the next episode.

Star Wars is a franchise near and dear to both Blake and JJ’s hearts, and is one of the subjects discussed the most in their episodes. Recently, much like Marvel, Star Wars seems to be in a slump, and not nearly as popular as they were around their peak era between 2015 and 2021. In their last episode on the show, both Blake and JJ are discussing why they feel that Star Wars has been on a decline as of late. They discuss where they are lacking, where there are areas of opportunity, and what Disney could do to bring Star Wars back to the level of hype and popularity it had in the past.

Many Hollywood legends spent time in The Twilight Zone, and this month we look at two of the largest legends in Hollywood history with Robert Redford and Dennis Hopper. Redford's season 3 appearance with Gladys Cooper has him portraying the role of the death angel escorting her character to the afterlife. Meanwhile, Hopper's season 4 role is one of an angry young man under the influence of Hitler, who is raising up his own all-too-familiar brand of hate. It's easy to see in these performances what will make these men legendary, and each of these stories gives us a lot of meat to chew on for discussion.

Disney has been remaking their cinematic classics for many years now. These remakes have gained popularity in recent years and are part of Disney's strategy to capitalize on their extensive catalog. Disney remakes serve several purposes. They allow Disney to introduce classic stories to a new generation of audiences, often with updated visuals and contemporary themes. They also provide an opportunity to monetize existing intellectual property and expand the Disney brand. But the remakes have faced criticism for being overly reliant on nostalgia and not offering much that is new or innovative. But are there movies that Disney would not remake?

The Twilight Zone is no stranger to close encounters between various aliens and humans. Sometimes those encounters are fun or silly, other times they reveal some of the darker realities of our humanity. This month's episodes fall into that latter category with "People Are Alike All Over" from season 1, and "Stopover in a Quiet Town" from season 5. Of course, the dark side of humanity is not all that is on display, because in a twist only the Twilight Zone can deliver, these aliens have their own dark side as well.

Pixar used to be a studio that could bring in some huge profit for Disney, but ever since the pandemic, with some of Pixar’s films going directly to Disney+, and with Pixar’s recent films debuted in theaters being a massive disappointment, Pixar has been a larger discussion recently.

We are finally back to the main season 2 storyline in “Grey Matters,” an episode that gives us quite a lot to think about when it comes to Walter, so we are not only excited to be talking about this episode but are also very excited to have Mark joining us as a co-host! This episode (properly) introduces us to Thomas Jerome Newton, arguably the big bad of season 2, and we share some of our thoughts on him, such as how his politeness reminds us a bit of David Robert Jones. We also touch upon our favorite moments from this episode and the wonderful character dynamics that we get, as well as touch upon the color palette of the episode.

So we cooked up a plate of spaghetti and meatballs, watched Lady and the Tramp, and sat down to give you a review of our experience. How does the movie hold up today?

Over the course of the 5 season run of The Twilight Zone many episodes touched on religious themes. We've already looked at episodes like, "The Hunt," "The Obsolete Man," and "The Howling Man," for example. This month we take a look at two episodes which, for better or for worse, are very on the nose with their religious themes. First up is "The Gift" from season three. Drawing parallels to Jesus and his crucifixion, an alien visits a small Mexican town with a gift that will change the world, but their fear leads them to killing him. Next up is "Probe 7, Over and Out" from season five, which tells its own version of the beginning of Earth, Adam, Eve, and a tree with fruit.

With record breaking heat in Orlando this summer, Walt Disney World has been HOT! The temperature isn't the only thing heating up though, so are the opinions of park goers. This week Ben and Erica breakdown an article by Mark Wilson titled, "Disney World is Hell." We follow the article and discuss The Heat, The Digital Platform and The Cast. What can Disney do to mitigate such hot times of year? Do cast members still have magic to share with guests? Should Genie+ be banished to the realm of Song of the South, forgotten and never to be spoken of again, or is it actually a valuable tool? Is the WDW experience really that hellish, or is this one person's opinion? Join us as we have a frank discussion, taking the temperature of WDW.

As some of you may know, Blake really likes movies. And, more than that, he likes researching and learning more facts about those films. So Blake has put together a fun movie-guessing game, using some knowledge that Blake has gathered for some of these movies. For this movie-guessing game, Blake will be giving Darrell 5 types of hints for the movie he’s trying to get him to guess, hopefully getting Darrell closer and closer to guessing the film. These hints range from basic fun facts about the film, to the marketed tagline of the film, or how much representation this film franchise has in the parks.

It's been said that magic is just science that we don't understand yet. While we're not sure if that's a suitable explanation for the kinds of magic on display in this month's episodes, we certainly had a magical time discussing them. First up is "Dust" from season 2. Written by Rod Serling and directed by Douglas Heyes, it tells the story of a dusty small town on the verge of killing a man who drunkenly killed a young girl. Is it magic dust or something else that brings the town the hope it so desperately needs?

In "Sounds and Silences," a toy boat manufacturing executive forces everyone in his life to be constantly subjected to loud noises. His life is turned upside down when he develops hypersensitive hearing, and he's forced to live his life with highly compromised hearing.

This time, Chris and Darrell are joined by a voice that listeners of the original run of The Fringe Podcast will definitely recognize - the one and only Clint! In Fringe’s first season finale, Olivia notices a connection between The Pattern incidents while Walter and Peter retrieve the only thing that can stop Jones from his ultimate plan.

There are so many decisions to make when planning a Disney vacation, but choosing when to go may have the most impact on your trip. Ben and Erica are tackling the best month to visit the three major U.S. Disney destinations: Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Disney Cruise Line. Crowd levels, pricing, weather, offerings, and more are important factors in knowing which month makes the most sense for you and your family. Ben and Erica rarely agree on their Disney takes, but could that change on today's episode?

We all love the many fantastic characters that Disney animation has created. Characters like Elsa, Woody, Simba, Maleficent, Gaston are all fun to watch and offer something special. But would you date one? It’s an interesting question. Sure Woody is an adorable doll, but his snarky attitude may be too much to handle on a first date. Jeremiah and Rachel put the names of many of these beloved characters into a hat, then pull two and discuss which one they would rather date.

Chris and Darrell take the road not taken with guest Michael London (creator of Fringe Connections) as we discuss this phenomenal penultimate episode of Fringe’s first season!

Indiana Jones Adventure is one of the most beloved Disney rides in any of the parks. A classic, memorable, and thrilling ride. However, over the years, some things have changed on the ride, and as some more changes are sure to approach with it going through some refurbishment until sometime in Spring, Blake and JJ are here in this week’s episode to discuss the state of the ride right now, and praising what they love about it, as well as some of the criticisms to some of its issues from before it going into refurbishment.

All Aboard! Last month we set sail on the Disney Dream for our first EVER cruise! Darrell is very prone to motion sickness and Kari hates traveling, so how did the trip go? We opted for a cruise instead of a visit to the parks because we wanted a relaxing vacation where we could unwind and not have to worry about going from place to place. We've heard others talk about how great cruises are, but did it live up to the hype?

"Perchance to Dream" and "Twenty Two" are known for their psychological horror and explore the idea of being trapped in a nightmare or a dream that is indistinguishable from reality. They also examine the relationship between the mind, the subconscious, and the external world, as well as the idea that our dreams may hold hidden meanings and truths about our lives.

We take a quick break from the Cortexiphan story to discuss a vampire… sort of. This vampire is engineered by science and must feed on spinal fluid rather than blood. (That’s Fringe for you!) Dive into our discussion of this myth-alone episode which features a standalone story with some loose threads to the overarching mythology. We discuss our memories of this episode and how, for some reason, we both had forgotten about its ties to ZFT.

Join us as we discuss one of the best episodes of Fringe’s first season, the second episode of the show that dives into Olivia’s past as a Cortexiphan subject.

Over time, Disney has changed the way we look at theme park food. They offer varied and well-crafted options, with a range of dishes that are prepared with care and attention to detail. They put quality higher on the list than other parks, making the experience more pleasant. Most of the time a Disney restaurant will offer different dietary preferences and allergies. Those efforts have made Disney different from their competition.

The world is full of big talkers, and not even the Twilight Zone can escape them. In season 2 Rod Serling wrote "The Silence" about two rich men who square off in an expensive bet, just so one of the men can be freed from the incessant talking of the other. In season 3 the Zone served up "Hocus-Pocus and Frisby," a story about a country bumpkin that can spin yarns unlike anyone else. He's abducted by aliens and is able to escape using his harmonica, but the townsfolk believe his story is just another of his exaggerated tales.

Get ready as we unleash our discussion of this episode of Fringe! We both agree that, despite its dubious science, this is a decent stand-alone episode, and we, as always, think back to our thoughts when we first saw it and whether or not we feel any differently now. We talk a lot about the character development and growth that we see from Walter and discuss whether his heroic act at the end is truly heroic or just another display of hubris. We also share our thoughts on the little bit of Polivia development that we get here.

Get in touch with your inner Observer child this week as we discuss this exciting episode of Fringe! We reflect back on our initial thoughts when we first watched this episode, including wondering whether or not the Child (also known at the time, by us at least, as CBK) was an Observer and what that implied if so, if Olivia disliked yellow M&Ms because they reminded her of Cotexiphan, what the deal is with Eliot Michaels, and so forth!

We have eagerly been waiting to discuss "Ability" for months because it’s that good, undoubtedly one of the best episodes of Fringe’s first season if not the best. There is just so much to unpack here, and so much of the show’s overarching mythology is brought to light here in this episode, including the Cortexiphan trials, the existence of parallel universes, and the inevitable war between the Blueverse and the Redverse.

After many years of licensing and streaming rights, the 2008 cartoon series The Spectacular Spider-Man, is not only available to stream on Netflix, but also on Disney+.

So in this week’s episode, Blake and JJ are talking about the first season of arguably the best representation of Spider-Man ever.

Hollywood legends Dennis Weaver and Robert Duvall each made trips into The Twilight Zone. In the season 2 episode, "Shadow Play," Dennis Weaver portrayed Adam Grant, a man stuck in a dream where he is convicted to die over and over again in the electric chair. In season 4, Robert Duvall starred in, "Miniature," a story where Charley Parkes falls in love with a woman from a museum display. Each of these two brilliant actors showed why they would soon become Hollywood legends.

What’s that noise? It’s not the sound of a brain-melting computer virus but rather a discussion between us and guest co-host Geoff (xforce11) on this rather polarizing episode of Fringe! This episode takes a break from the mythology and gives us a stand-alone case of the week involving a man exacting revenge on those he holds responsible for ruining his life by liquifying the brains of their loved ones, and we discuss what parts of this episode resonate with us more than others do, our initial thoughts about Rachel’s motives vs. how we feel now, our continued feelings around Sanford Harris (here is a hint - we cannot stand him), how all three of us agree that the conflict between Olivia and Peter is the best part of this episode, and so much more!

29 years after the first Hocus Pocus was released, the long desired sequel has been released, exclusively to Disney+. After it originally flopped commercially, Hocus Pocus has become a much beloved cult classic, so was Disney able to keep the magic of the first film in its 2022 sequel?

The power of the human mind is perhaps often underestimated, but it's certainly capable of much more once it enters the Twilight Zone. Season 2 of Rod Serling's masterpiece gave us two excellent examples. Episode 16 features Dick York in, "A Penny for Your Thoughts" and episode 27 showcases Shelley Berman in, "The Mind and the Matter." Both of these light-hearted episodes had us cracking up and enjoying our trip to the Twilight Zone!

You are bound to enjoy our discussion of this high-octane episode of Fringe! Although we both agree that the cliffhanger from the last episode is wrapped up a bit too early here and that the exposition is a bit too heavy-handed, this episode moves at anything but a sluggish pace and left us with plenty of new questions when it first aired thirteen years ago. What was ZFT trying to accomplish by killing immunologists with this super-sized slug (which apparently wasn’t actually a cold virus according to Walter’s lab notes)? Why did they abduct Olivia? What was the spinal tap for? We were definitely like a question machine!

The penultimate episode of Stranger Things season 4 has arrived and it did exactly what a penultimate episode should do! "Papa" insists that everything he has done for Eleven, and Henry too for that matter, has been in their best interests. Like, El, we strongly disagree with his point of view. Although we can see how he could come to those conclusions, his methods are hard to justify. Is Papa truly dead? Only time will tell. In Hawkins, Max is willing to put her life on the line to save the town and all her friends. We think the kids have no idea what they are truly up against, but also agree with them that they have no better choice. Will Eleven be able to make it to Hawkins in time? The ending of this episode was perfect with the kids going separate ways and preparing to execute their two-pronged attack on Vecna. We can't wait for next week's finale!

Over time there have been many leading male characters in Disney animation. Sometimes they play the role of the dashing Prince that saves the day, and other times they serve the role of taking from the rich and giving to the poor. As time has blossomed the male role has changed. In beauty and the beast the beast himself needed Bell to save him. Robin Hood spent most of his time in the story trying to make the world better, and Peter Pan helped keep everyone young. But what makes a good leading male character?

With the major reveals and twists of "The Massacre at Hawkins Lab," many of us are updating our theories and coming up with new ones. Is Peter Eleven's father? Was Brenner using El to search the void in an effort to find Peter? Was El a pawn used by Peter, or was he being truthful with her? Did Peter/Vecna create the upside down, or did it exist before he was sent there by El? What's up with the earthquakes, and why is the upside down frozen at November 6, 1983? These are only a few of the discussion points and theories brought up by listeners this week. Two of you even bring back a theory Darrell threw out after watching the very first episode of season one!

Has there ever been a more amazing or mind blowing reveal than what the Duffer brothers gave us in "The Massacre at Hawkins Lab?" Peter the friendly/creepy orderly is actually Henry Creel. I mean, he's actually 001. What I mean to say is that he is Vecna. And to top it all off, El created Vecna!?!?! Wow, what a crazy twist. Then you add in the most amazing demogorgon fight scene we've ever seen with the most exploration of the upside down that we've ever seen, and you have one amazing episode of Stranger Things.

It has arrived, although we sure hope that a gigantic metal suppository is not the pinnacle of human achievement! That’s right! We are here to discuss “The Arrival” - the game-changing fourth episode of the first season of Fringe! We take you back to the very first official introduction to September which starts with this episode’s memorable opening scene while, at the same time, looking ahead to future episodes of the series that ended up being connected to this one.

Hello There. With the recent conclusion of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+, it only made sense to dedicate some time to discussing the show. Blake and JJ share their raw, untamed thoughts on the show as a whole. They look over every part of the series and explain what the show did well, and what it could have done better. Do you agree with their thoughts? Do you think they were too critical? What do you think the show did well?

We're quickly approaching the end of Stranger Things 4 Part 1, and you all continue to come up with intriguiging theories! The debate continues on whether or not Peter is friendly or creepy, and some of you are even tossing out ideas on Peter's possible true identity. As the community of Hawkins is lathered up into a frenzy by Jason, some of you saw parallels between Eddie's story of this season and the West Memphis 3 real-life events from the early 1990's. In fact, your insight shared about the West Memphis 3 cause Darrell to reevaluate his theory on Miss Kelley.

Steve jumps at the opportunity to leave the kids behind and step out of his babysitter role, but we were not prepared for him to do so! The Dive, episode 6 of Stranger Things' 4th season, left us wanting more! With the citizens of Hawkins in a frenzy thanks to Jason's accusations against The Hellfire Club, it's not only Eddie that now finds himself in their crosshairs. Eleven continues to dive deeper into her memories, exploring her previous life as Brenner's lab rat, and becoming increasing influenced by the creepy/friendly orderly, Peter. 002 is not too happy about her rising strength, and it looks like she's now convinced she is the one responsible for the massacre at Hawkins Lab.

It takes a gifted actor to be able to pull off a single-actor episode. When executed well - such as Agnes Moorehead's "The Invaders," the episode can become legendary. Since we've already covered that episode, this month we look at two other single-actor episodes. First up is Robert Cummings' season 2 premiere, "King Nine Will Not Return." Cummings portrays a US Air Force pilot who was unable to pilot what ended up being a fateful flight that took the lives of his entire crew. Next up we look at Mickey Rooney's season 5 episode, "The Last Night of a Jockey." Rooney plays Grady, a jockey who wishes he were big after being suspended for fixing races and doping.

Brenner is back! While his return is not really a surprise, the events that unfold in "The Nina Project" with Brenner, Dr. Owens, and Eleven do bring quite a few surprises. We see the appearance of Peter Ballard the Friendly Orderly, and we can not agree on whether or not he is truly friendly, or truly creepy. In Hawkins, the exploration of the Creel house has us asking new questions about how many dimensions are at play in this story, and how the gang will find their way to Vecna's lair on their own.

We considered using the ghost network to talk about this episode of Fringe but ultimately decided against it, so we are instead coming to you as usual via your favorite podcast app! “The Ghost Network” seemingly introduces us to amber which plays a much larger role later in the series, and it also presents us with another example of someone who was victimized by Walter’s past transgressions as he conducted morally questionable experiments for the military. We also see a shimmer of Olivia’s enhanced Cortexiphan abilities, and we talk about that enigmatic scene between Broyles and Nina near the end.

Are we the only ones who think "Dear Billy" might just be the best episode of Stranger Things yet? With Sadie Sink's impecable performance, this episode has us heaping praise upon praise. Robert Englund's performance as Victor Creel also stood out and his story gave us chills. Is his story to be believed? We have our doubts. Every story element of "Dear Billy" was excellent! Nancy and Robin faking their way into Pennhurst was hilarious, and the nods to "The Silence of the Lambs" were excellent. Capping the episode with Max's flashback memories of the kids and Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" were absolute perfection!

We saw major developments on every front in, "The Monster and the Superhero." El is arrested for assaulting Angela with the skate, but ends up rescued by Dr. Ownens and given the option to return to Hawkins, undergo training to restore her powers, and save everyone. Murray and Joyce make their way to Alaska. In Hawkins, Lucas finds himself in a delicate position as he tries to provide a layer of protection between Dustin's group and the basketball bullies. Robin and Nancy find themselves hunting for clues together, unsure how each of them feel about each other or Steve. Meanwhile, Steve, Dustin, and Max break into the school to examine student records in Ms. Kelly's office. While there, Max hears the voice of Vecna, wanders out to the hallway, and sees a grandfather clock embedded into the wall.

This episode introduces us to supersoldiers and clones, both of which will come back into play later in the series, and it also drops another huge hint about Peter’s mysterious history. Olivia is totally beating herself up due to John Scott’s betrayal, but should she be? Meanwhile, a serial killer is on the loose, but why does this particular serial killer capture the attention of our Fringe team?

"Vecna's Curse" is now haunting the residents of Hawkins, just as they beginning to heal from the events of season 3. With the news of Chrissy's death spreading around town, the Hawkins kids begin their own investigations as to what happened? What the culprit Eddie, the leader of The Hellfire Club, or are their worst fears coming to life and something far more sinister is the cause? Fred becomes the second gruesome victim of Vecna, and his death gives us more clues to how Vecna chooses his prey.

Disney Parks have always been about renovating and updating their parks and lands to make sure they fit with the modern times and interests of pop culture. But what if Disney scrapped everything in each land, and rethemed and redesigned everything?! This week, JJ and Blake are putting themselves in the place of Disney to determine what new attractions and restaurants they’d replace with the original attractions in Tomorrowland. They go through what they’d change about the whole land’s theming, what they’d change some of the most popular rides in all of Disney to become, and some changes that they think would overall benefit the land. And some ideas that they, admittedly, don’t think are very good alternatives.

Jack Klugman, along with Bergiss Meredith, has the esteemed honor of being one of only two actors to be featured in the lead role of four Twilight Zone episodes. We previously covered, "In Praise of Pip" and "A Passage For Trumpet," and this month we're taking a look at "A Game of Pool" and "Death Ship." In "A Game of Pool," Klugman stars alongside Jonathan Winters in what was Winters' first dramatic role. Both men provided stellar performances that make "Pool" a fan favorite to this day. "Death Ship" tells the story of a space flight crew caught in an unfortunate and eerie Flying Dutchman scenario.

"The Hellfire Club" starts season 4 of Stranger Things off with a bang (or should we say, crack)? With a significantly darker and more horror tone than previous seasons, the group of Hawkins kids are more splintered and dysfunctional than ever before. Max is facing significant challenges with her family and personal feelings after the death of Billy and breakup of her parent's marriage, El, Will, and Jonathan are trying to adjust to a new town in California, while Lucas, Mike, and Dustin adjust to life in high school which has them pursuing interests that are testing the limits of their friendship. We also meet new characters, Jason, Crissy, and Eddie, which even after one episode, have each given us reasons to form strong opinions about them.

So much, so much happened here, and so much is about to! Welcome to The Fringe Podcast Rewatch! Hosted by Darrell and Chris, the podcast is a revival of sorts of the award-winning The Fringe Podcast, only this time, we're reflecting back on the series as a whole nearly a decade after its epic conclusion in January of 2013, bringing you bi-weekly discussions of each and every episode of Fringe's run of 100 episodes! Beginning, of course, with the show's pilot episode which aired on September 9, 2008, we share our favorite moments from the episode and reflect on our reactions and theories when we first saw it, agreeing that the Fringe pilot is one of the best pilot episodes of any show ever. We touch upon September’s very first appearance on the series and also discuss some of the connections that the pilot has to later episodes of the series.

Whether driving or flying across the country, tragedy can strike at any moment, especially in the Twilight Zone. This month we take a look at two episodes that capitalize on this true, yet unsettling reality. Season 1 of the Zone gave us "The Hitch-Hiker," a story of Nan Adams who is driving her way from New York to Los Angeles. Unfortunately for Nan, much like Malcolm Crowe in "The Sixth Sense," she doesn't realize that her fate for quite some time. As a result, we're treated with a story with lots of drama and a great twist ending.

Throughout the 1950's and 60's Rod Serling wrote several stories aimed at shedding light on racial issues with blacks in America. His stories were often watered down or changed to other racial groups by network executives or sponsors, leaving Rod in a state of frustration. When JFK was gunned down in Dallas on the afternoon of November 22, 1963, Rod was inspired to write "I am the Night - Color Me Black," an episode which not only addresses racism and bigotry head on, but it also addressed hate all over the world.

Once we get past what we’ve done Disney recently, we jump right into discussing the show, episode-by-episode. We talk about our personal thoughts on each episode, diving into the characters and story. We discussed the elements we liked and appreciated, and some elements we didn’t like and felt like should’ve been improved. Tune in to see if you agree with our thoughts, or massively disagree.

The Legacy of Supergirl for me will always be friends. The friends that I would not have found if I hadn’t entered the superhero world. I began as many did with Arrow. Having no comic knowledge. I sought out a podcast to help understand this new world. The adventures of Oliver Queen were always a little dark for this butterfly, but I kept watching. Not as much for the show itself but for the Arrow Squad and the people it was drawing into its ranks. Green Butterfly was technically born on the Central City Underground which celebrated The Flash. The brighter, more humorous tone suited my personality better, but I was still waiting for my hero. I had never heard of Supergirl. I had seen a few superhero movies when I was younger, but my memories were hazy. Almost everything I knew was coming from these new CW shows. Then I met the Scarlet Cougar and Miss Ice. They both helped me understand the multiverse that was beginning to unfold in front of me.

Wintertime at Disneyland brings a different experience than other times of the year and with it, advantages and disadvantages. If you're looking for cooler weather, smaller crowds, shorter wait times, and the celebration of Lunar New Year, then visiting Disneyland in January or February is something you should consider. However, you'll also need to be aware that the park hours are much shorter, some rides are closed for yearly maintenance, and you'll need to bring layers of clothing as the temperatures can vary quite a bit throughout the day.

If there's one thing The Twilight Zone loves, it's exploring humanity through the lens of space travel. This month we take a look at two episodes where the lead characters find themselves stranded in space, albeit for entirely different reasons. In season 1 episode 7 entitled, "The Lonely," we encounter the story of a man named Corry who has been sentenced to solitary confinement on an asteroid millions of miles from earth. He's given a human-looking robot to ease his loneliness, but what happens if he's eventually forced to choose between the robot and returning to earth? Read More...

When Raiders of the Lost Ark came out in 1981, it redefined the action/adventure genre in the film industry, and spawned the popular franchise we come to know and love today: Indiana Jones. Many people have watched the existing four films in the series, and generally enjoyed them very very much. However, the self-proclaimed “film fanatic” Blake, has never watched the series in its entirety. In this week’s episode, after watching all four Indiana Jones movies in under 36 hours, Blake discusses the films with JJ, talking about their enjoyment of each film, what they liked, and what they didn’t like. And, as always, they rank them in the end and Blake gives his overall thoughts on his first viewing of the Indiana Jones films. Buckle up tightly now—some hot Indiana Jones takes may be appearing in this episode. Read More...

While the weather may be a bit unseasonably warm for us right now, we find ourselves in a much cooler situation than those in the season 3 Twilight Zone episode, "The Midnight Sun." For much of the episode we are lead to believe they are on a collision course with the sun...or are they? This is a podcast episode with a snow theme after all. Then we take a look at season three's final episode, "The Changing of the Guard." The content of this episode draws us back to our own childhood and the teachers that impacted us indelibly.

After the usual discussion of what they’ve done Disney lately, JJ and Blake first give their spoiler-free thoughts on the show, and if they could recommend it to people.

To the best of my knowledge, I won’t be passing from this earth into eternity any time soon, but none of us know when our last breath will come. As motivating as that might be to cause one to contemplate his legacy, it’s a different life event that has caused me to focus on it. That life event involves my kids. That is, last year was my daughter’s senior year of high school, and this year is my son’s senior year. While I think Addi may continue to live with us for another year or even two while she works out her plans, she very much desires to move out when she can and spread her wings. Colby, on the other hand, has already started making plans to move across town to attend the University of Oklahoma next fall. It’s quite possible my nest will be empty in the next 12-18 months, and this fact has had me wondering if I’ve done what’s necessary to help my kids for their next steps. Read More...

I never get tired of hearing the sound of the MGB GT starting up, and I thought it might be appropriate to record this final episode of the season in the very object that this season has been about. So I hope you don't mind the sounds of my car. I thought we'd take it for a little drive today. Every time I get in this car, it's a satisfying and joyful feeling. I can't help but get a smile on my face. I just love this car. I mean, I love the car, I love the look of the car, and all that stuff. That's why I got the car. But this car is so much more than that. This car brings satisfaction every time I drive it because of what it represents. It represents a goal achieved, and that's just incredibly satisfying. When I get in it and I think about what it represents and having set a goal and then achieved that goal, it reminds me that there are more goals out there to achieve. I think, of the struggle that it took to get to this point, it and it invigorates me and inspires me. It gives me excitement and belief that I can face other challenges that come my way. There's a lot of satisfaction in that, but even if I hadn't gone through all of the ordeals that I went through to get to this point, even if I hadn't had to rewire the car, there would still be a tremendous amount of satisfaction with the car simply because of what it represents. And that is, it represents a goal being set and achieved. Read More...

Where does one begin rewiring a car? For me, the answer wasn’t as hard as it may seem. That decision had been made months before. You see, during the research and education phase of this process, I’d done a lot of work to figure out what wiring harness would be the best fit for my car. Because the MGB and MGB GT were made nearly unchanged for almost 20 years, getting parts for them is still quite easy. And believe it or not, that includes getting brand new wiring harnesses. However, my car was not quite a factory spec car. As far as the electrical system was concerned, my car had an aftermarket air conditioner, a high-voltage coil, electric ignition system instead of a traditional distributor, and electronic speedometer instead of the stock system. Although to be honest, at the time I didn’t know about the high-voltage coil and electric ignition system. More on that later. Read More...

I’ll go out on a limb here and state unequivocally that James Best is in the best two scary Twilight Zone episodes of the entire show. Darrell may or may not agree with me, but we discuss the noire feel of "The Grave" and the playful, yet thought-provoking take on "The Last Rites of Jeff Myrtlebank" too. Both episodes were written and directed by the great Montgomery Pittman. Both episodes feature incredible cast members with fun names of the characters to boot. It was great seeing Best play a character to type but also one with vulnerability. Join in and let us know your thoughts. Was Connie killed by dumb luck or by Pinto’s ghost? Only the Zone knows!

Okay, yes, so MAYBE Blake and JJ are doing another bracket battle. They swear, this’ll be the last one from them for a while. However, in this week’s episode, they’re tackling a bracket battle of all of the MCU projects (movies and shows), breaking them all down to find their favorite MCU movie/show. After talking about what they have done recently, which heavily involve the parks, they get into breaking down the massive bracket of 27 MCU projects, which they tackle two at a time, talking quickly (or not so quickly) about what they find more appealing in both items, and choose one to move along in the bracket.

On February 17, 1986 I turned 10 years old. Four days later Nintendo released a game that would become my favorite game franchise of all time. Released on the Nintendo Entertainment System, or NES, The Legend of Zelda captivated me like no video game, including any Mario game, had ever done before.
The problem for me was, I owned a SEGA Master System, not a Nintendo. Fortunately, my friends down the street had a Nintendo, and I loved going to their house to play Zelda. From time to time we’d even swap systems for a few weeks so they could play our SEGA games and my brothers and I could play their NES games. Zelda was unlike any other game of the era. Instead of it coming in a grey or black cartridge, it came in a shiny gold one. Instead of losing your progress when you turned off the console, Zelda had a battery inside the cartridge that allowed your game to be saved even if you powered off the console. Read More...

For as long as I can remember, I’ve admired the way my dad has the ability to create with his hands. Some of my earliest memories involve interacting with his creations. My dad was a carpet layer, and a good one at that. He drove a full-size fan, and it only had seating of the two front captain’s chairs. The rear cargo area of the van was completely covered in carpet that dad installed himself. On the driver’s side of the cargo area was a large tool chest made of plywood and covered in carpet. It housed the tools of the trade when they weren’t in use. Our house featured other handy works of his including a locking gun cabinet and a cedar chest. Even the paddle he spanked us with when we got in trouble was something he’d hand-made. Read More...

Walking home from school discussing the flagpole moment that would live in infamy, Ralphie, Flick and Schwartz relived the triple dog dare moment as Randy toddled behind them. And then, they heard the laugh of Scut Farkus. Scut and his toad henchman, Grover Dill, yelled at, intimidated, and twisted the arms of the boys until the boys ran away, screaming for their lives.
I’m sure most, if not all of you have seen this scene from the movie, “A Christmas Story.” Later in the movie a dejected Ralphie has enough when Scut blindsides him with a snowball to the face. Ralphie transfers all his pent up disappointment and frustration into his fists, and Scut’s face becomes the recipient of all that fury. Scut had it coming, and you can’t help but smile at the bully getting what he deserved. Read More...

A curious boy once asked a wise owl how many licks it takes to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop. The owl opted to conduct an experiment to determine the number. One…Two…Three…crunch! Three, the owl declared. In the longer version of this famous commercial, the cow, fox, and turtle all confessed they’d never been able to make it to the center without biting it, and clearly the owl had no more patience than the other animals when it came to enjoying the sweet taste of a Tootsie Roll Pop.
Unfortunately for me, purchasing a car from Georgia and having it shipped to Oklahoma is a process that cannot be sped up by biting. That beautiful flame red classic would eventually find its way to my garage, and regardless of my level of patience, I had no choice but to wait. Read More...

When you look at the beginning and the ending efforts of arguably the best genre tv show in history, you need to expect there might be low’s and high’s to discuss. Furthermore, you‘d expect the first episode to have more lows than the last, simply because it is still finding its footing. But that isn’t the way we saw it. Episode one‘s story misdirection, although not suggestive of entering the Zone “Canon” enough to be formulated in the very next episode, did establish a great twist ending which is a hallmark of Serling’s best material. The last episode, judge for yourself, shows a great show fell apart on its last effort. Listen in and as always give us a shout because we would love to hear from you. Even if your accent isn’t truly Southern. Read More...

I could feel the wind jostling my hair. It wasn’t the kind of wind that knocks you back, but it was there letting me know that at that height, there was nothing to obstruct it. Behind me I heard the words of my friends Charles and James cheering me on. When I took the first step that would eventually lead me to this place, my heart was full of courage and confidence. The obstacle seemed small, the danger non-existent. But now I’d come to the end of my journey. My perspective had changed. I’d signed the waiver, strapped on the harness, climbed the seemingly endless flights of stairs, and fastened myself to an umbilical cord of rubber bands. Staring down at the parking lot below, the airbag that would break my fall in case of failure now seemed a lot smaller. For that matter, the trees, cars, buildings, people...everything seemed smaller. There was nothing left to do but trust all the processes and people who’d helped me get to this point, to lean on the experience of those who’d walked this path before, and see for myself whether or not the bungee cord would hold.

When I was 5 years old my parents bought me a Mighty Tonka Off Road Adventure Buggy. The Tonka Adventure buggy looked something like a Ford Bronco of the era. It was about 14 inches long and about 8 inches high with large wheels. It was great for playing in the dirt, and turned my backyard into an off road race track. I’d stand behind the Tonka, lean down and put my hands on top of it, and push it while running laps around the yard. In my mind I was at the wheel of a life-sized 4x4. It’s my first memory of loving a car. Read More...
