3x06 "I.C.E.-Scream Cone"




Join us as we celebrate the first day of summer with a light and sunny excursion into…. HA! Not even. This week, the dark and moody “Point of Origin,” the eighth episode of Jordan Peele’s new Twilight Zone series, finds itself trussed up in Craig’s interrogation apparatus. Along the way he crushes slightly on Ginnifer Goodwin (because hey, even woke dudes are weak sometimes), and somehow manages to debut yet another jingle.

3x05 "NAMALTuous"



Men are pigs, am I right? This time around, Craig examines his manhood (not as sexy as it sounds) in relation to the rampant toxic masculinity on display in the new Twilight Zone episode “Not All Men.” Along the way he tries to atone for horn-dogging on writer Heather Anne Campbell, valiantly chides his fellow dudes who refuse to join him on the Woke Train, and manages to debut a brand new jingle in the process.

3x04 "She Ain't Heavy, She's My Bradbury"





The day has arrived. After four decidedly underwhelming episodes (and one pretty good one), Jordan Peele’s new Twilight Zone series offers up a bona fide masterpiece: “Six Degrees of Freedom.” Mission to Mars, or incredibly authentic simulation? You decide. And while you’re deciding… GET YOUR ASS TO MARS!

3x03 "Half-Baked Alaskan"



Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! This week’s episode has… um, nothing whatsoever to do with honoring mothers. Instead, Craig asks the age-old question: what do Christmas Eve in Alaska and a kid running for President have in common?  The answer may surprise you. Episodes 4 and 5 of the new Twilight Zone series (“A Traveler” and “The Wunderkind”) are our research subjects this time around, and we’re gonna get all up in their business with our brand new microscope (from Whipple Industries, of course).

3x02 "Blunt Force Drama"




This week Craig hits the ‘rewind’ button on the third episode of the new Twilight Zone and, well… the third time’s the charm, as they say. With “Replay,” the series (mostly) overcomes its rocky start and presents a worthwhile--- and important--- episode about the black experience in America…. and not from a historical standpoint, either. This is NOW. This is REAL. There’s less humor this week than usual, which is completely appropriate.

3x01 "Banana Peele"

 

Left turn! Host Craig suspends his plan to resume covering the first season of the classic Twilight Zone series to instead dive head-first into the first season of the brand new Twilight Zone series from Jordan Peele. This week he gazes suspiciously at the first two episodes (“The Comedian” and “Nightmare at 30,000 Feet”) and shares his knee-jerk reactions with little preparation or time to truly reflect in a meaningful fashion. Are the new episodes worth checking out? You’ll have to listen to get the full scoop.

3x00a "An Existential Colonic"



Sometimes the self is the biggest hurdle, and usually we’re too close to see it. This week Craig gets a much-needed smack upside the head and gets his priorities straightened out (finally, right?).
