One down, one to go. In the penultimate installment of the show, host Craig does one final round of housekeeping and (not surprisingly) pimps his work on the Night Gallery Season 1 Blu-ray set. Worth your time? Only you can make that determination. It’s free, for God’s sake, so just download the damn thing.

Bug-eyed monster lovers rejoice! This week Craig dives deep into the pool of primordial goo that is the Outer Limits episode “Tourist Attraction.” TOL historian David J. Schow joins in to regale us with his bottomless sea of knowledge, plus Dr. Reba Wissner gives us the lowdown on the episode’s original music score. The whole affair is slimy... yet strangely satisfying.

This week, host Craig checks out “Reap What You Sow,” a fan-made Twilight Zone episode in the spirit of the original series, then gazes backward at his own (sadly unrealized) dream of creating... well, something along the same lines. Friend of the show Carson Cohen returns for some much-needed fact checking, then we wrap up with some reportage on an exciting Rod Serling-related crowdfunding campaign. Oh, it’s also Hallowe’en, which we’re apparently not observing at all this year. Boo indeed.

Have you ever wondered what the show might sound like with NO editing whatsoever? Like, NONE. And no script, either. No, really. We’re talking a solid hour of off-the-cuff yammering from host Craig with ZERO pre-planning (and zero production value). Listen... if you dare.
