The Day 20 of the Twilight Zone podcast Advent Calendar.

Sean Boggs, our friend, says, what's an episode that feels like a best bad episode or a worst good

0:39.1

episode meaning for example which episode has a very interesting idea at its core but suffers from

0:45.8

a bad script or has good acting and directing but falls flat in what it's trying to say or is
