KOI: A Twilight Zone Show - Mr. Denton on Doomsday #3
from The Key of Imagination: A Twilight Zone show with Joe Meyer · host Dr. Joe Meyer
In this week's episode of Key of Imagination: A Twilight Zone Show, we're going back to the old west to meet a friend, Mr. Al Denton in " Mr. Denton on Doomsday ". Al is a gunslinger in the old sense of the word. He's had to prove just how fast a draw he is on numerous occasions, until one day, he killed someone that he couldn't forget. From that moment on, Denton has been doing battle with himself. This is a serious episode, and I want to be upfront about the fact that we're going to be talking about some adult themes, so if you are listening/watching these with young ones, you might skip the section marked "adult theme." There's a lot to unpack in this episode. Join us as we visit the old west with Rod Serling. Head over to thekeyofimagination.com to rate the Twilight Zone episodes and to continue our conversation.
