BONUS - Twilight Zone - "Shadow Play"

You're traveling through another dimension... A dimension mostly made up of the sounds of our voices... It's another bonus episode of My New Thing. Today, Dan shares his lifelong love of The Twilight Zone with Zach as they watch a Season 2 classic "Shadow Play" about a man stuck in a recurring nightmare about being on death row. We talk about Rod Serling and writer Charles Beaumont's writerly pursuits and backgrounds, censorship, World War II, Plato's cave, and why this horror short is actually a reflection on how to write TV and screenplays. Join us this Friday for a regular new episode, and join us all month for more Twilight Zone recaps! My New Thing is a comedy podcast featuring interviews with the funniest people on the planet discussing their latest obsessions! We're talking hobbies, sports, video games, and obscure films you can only find on VHS. It's a podcast where comedians talk about anything but how they got started in the biz! What a relief. Hosted by comedians Dan Wilbur (The Onion, Sirius XM) and Zach Sims (Comedy Central) Join us, hobbyholers!  Follow us on Instagram! Music by Corn Mo. Art by Jordan Doll. Want to see us live?
