I love Brandon!

As a fellow TZ podcaster, I’m a huge fan of this podcast. There’s a variety of guests that come on, and I know each episode will be enjoyable because Brandon is such a good host.
Highly Recommend!

Good show

Entertaining and educational

Absolutely love the Twilight Zone and am truly enjoying these podcasts. Since listening to them, I have a much deeper appreciation of each episode. I love hearing some of the behind-the-scenes tidbits! Also, I didn’t realize how technical and detailed some of the episodes truly are - they weren’t just thrown together. Thank you, Brandon, and to your guests for your insights and opinions on the shows’ episodes. Funniest one was with Chelsea and the “Escape Clause.” Still making my way (rewatching) through season 2 and can’t wait for season 3! It’s nice knowing there’s a bigger fan of TZ on this island than just me.
