Comments
You compared the Hitchhiker to Serling, but his roots more likely come from OTR shows like The Mysterious Traveler and The Whistler.

2024-08-23 00:05:39 +0000 UTCI thought for sure the meat-head who couldn't satisfy the lady was in a bunch of stuff I've seen. And yet, scrolling his IMDB, yes he's been in lots of stuff i've seen but that's not where/how I recognize him. Strange! Happens every once and a while where you scroll up and down a filmography and get frustrated about how you "know" someone.

2024-08-16 21:31:13 +0000 UTCI don’t know if this is allowed, but I make an ‘anthology-esque’ podcast where I present my interviews of people recounting their near death experiences, bigfoot encounters, and stuff like that. If any of you Zombies are into that, the pod is called Matchbook Flashback. https://open.spotify.com/show/71ZNed2WdWHjvOBLOLYMYY

2024-08-15 20:33:33 +0000 UTCInterestingly, Trap is based off a real US Marshal sting operation in which they lured 100 fugitives to a fake NFL game. Most elaborate and legendary sting in history. called Operation Flagship. Had the cheerleaders pat them down at the door! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Flagship

2024-08-15 20:26:17 +0000 UTCKnown as "pulling a Stranger"

2024-08-15 20:22:13 +0000 UTCRogers immediately dropping his “people need to be more critical” attitude as soon as Stanger says The Twilight Zone had a low hit rate is so fucking on brand

2024-08-15 07:52:42 +0000 UTCWhen you guys do Tales From The Crypt, do Cutting Cards(The one with the extreme high stakes gamblers). Episode one is the best Tales, but nobody talks about Cutting Cards enough. Features two Action Boys vets Lance Henricksen, and Kevin Tighe from Road House.

2024-08-15 01:28:37 +0000 UTCI liked a lot for what it was. A really solid 3 out of 5. I agree with the Blank Check pods assessment that it was something that 90’s TNT would air 100 times, and I’d watch it in pieces for the next ten years without seeing the whole thing.

2024-08-14 20:16:51 +0000 UTCwhat the hell is plex? what do people think it is? I've only known it as a server where you can put files for anyone to access.

2024-08-14 18:30:53 +0000 UTCI like that show. But there's a few too many episodes where the twist is "everyone was just lying the whole time".

2024-08-14 18:13:32 +0000 UTCThe final episode of the Alfred Hitchcock Hour was directed by William Friedkin, with a script by Robert Bloch (who wrote the novel Psycho). https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0394072/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

2024-08-14 16:33:39 +0000 UTC"Inside No. 9" is another great example of a current anthology series too. Definitely recommend checking it out.

2024-08-14 16:22:46 +0000 UTCI watched the shittily cropped YouTube version
Cole Trickle
2024-08-14 16:03:31 +0000 UTCLoved the episode with Gene Simmons and all the crazy characters, following a bag of cocaine, when I was a kid. Also, funny to hear you mention the Hitchhikers tight jeans. I will always remember my Mom saying she liked the original Hitchhiker actor, because he had a "great butt".

2024-08-14 15:15:54 +0000 UTCFrom what I can find this is on Plex but it is labeled as Season 1 episode 24. UPDATE: When I hit play it just says “could not find anywhere to watch this episode” UPDATE 2: There are some shitty quality versions on YouTube.

2024-08-14 14:56:32 +0000 UTCToo Scary Didn't Watch is a great pod, they broke down Trap and it sounded absurd, especially the ending. I'm glad I can just listen to them make fun of it and don't have to actually sit through shlock like that

2024-08-14 14:27:47 +0000 UTCDid anyone ever figure out where to watch The Hitchhiker?

2024-08-14 14:14:20 +0000 UTCman totally forgot about USA network, good go to for weird shit
bloodflart
2024-08-14 13:55:23 +0000 UTCno but Danny Elfman and big robot naturals are a great combo
bloodflart
2024-08-14 13:44:56 +0000 UTCAnyone remember the sci-fi Tales From the Crypt spinoff Perversions of Science? Or the end of the opening credits where a robot woman touches her nipple to activate a video screen hidden in her breasts? https://youtu.be/_Gp4u5vR0hk?si=-7piaTF3xq4pjV-s
Berko Pierce
2024-08-14 12:55:49 +0000 UTCI could listen a full episode of discussion of the terribleness of Trap. So fuckin bizarre. I thought the POV shift to lady raven going to the house was good and tense but then that was only a brief (unsatisfying) piece before the ending got really corny
Robert Peterson
2024-08-14 12:54:21 +0000 UTCJust caught a Simpsons episode where Homer pretended to be a robot fighter. Edit: Please do the Gerry Butler Phantom for Shadow Wolves or a special Musicalvember. It's actually quite wonderful and works given Schumacher was really gay.
