Here's Where it Went Wrong

Twilight Zone: When We Entered the Dimension Where It Was Bad (with Dani Fernandez)

Episode Summary

Andrew and Wen are joined by Dani Fernandez (Ralph Breaks the Internet, The Good Immigrant, Remembering Rod Serling, The Great Debate) to talk about one of her favorite subjects, The Twilight Zone! They cover everything from Rod Serling's fascinating history that led to the show's creation, to their favorite episodes, to where it went so terribly wrong in multiple plane crashes (not just the one from the film!) and moving to an hour format for no good reason!

Episode Notes

Wen and Andrew sit down with Dani Fernandez (Ralph Breaks the Internet, Remembering Rod Serling) to dive deep into the history of The Twilight Zone! Pop culture phenom and Twilight Zone expert Dani helps explain the best episodes, the brilliant mind of Rod Serling, and the incredible social commentary and cultural impact The Twilight Zone had, that still holds true today. They also cover where it went so wrong when the show was forced to move into an hour format, had a plane crash right before an episode about a plane crash released, and made an episode about a witch leopard for some reason!
