KOI: A Twilight Zone Show - Escape Clause #6
from The Key of Imagination: A Twilight Zone show with Joe Meyer · host Dr. Joe Meyer
If you were offered immortality, would you take it? In this week's episode of The Twilight Zone, Walter Bedecker is going to receive such an offer. In "Escape Clause," we are introduced to a man who is absolutely terrible--and I'm not talking about the Devil, who is also in the episode. Walter Bedecker is a horrible human being, but does he deserve this ending? Well, let's talk about it. We'll discuss immortality, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil from the Bible, the movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray, and whether or not we're more comfortable in misery than in happiness. Come on in and join us on this journey through the fifth dimension. Head over to thekeyofimagination.com to rate the Twilight Zone episodes and to continue our conversation.
