Hey, everybody, J.V. here. Thanks for listening, first of all, but secondly, this interview with Arlen Schumer has been divided into two episodes due to its length. We talk about the Twilight Zone and other pop culture issues. But again, this is part one of two. Be sure to listen to part two as well.

The night may be long and the dark may be deep, but the answers are there to be found.

Whether it's the normal, the abnormal, or the paranormal, you're in the right place.

Let's go beyond reality.

Welcome to the program.

We have a terrific show for you tonight.

In fact, this is going to be, I can already tell you, one of my favorites.

I have never had the opportunity to interview Arlen Schumer until tonight. But the discussion

is going to focus on the Twilight Zone series, the original Rod Serling series from 1959.

It's going to talk about the Silver Age of comic books and comic book art.

And it's going, if we have time, because this is going to be one of those shows where we've got too much to talk about and not nearly enough time.

In fact, I think this guest could be on the show for four nights in a row.

We could do a whole week of Arlen Schumer because of the topics and how much we can get into about this stuff.

And it's going to be not just interesting.

It's going to be fun.

It's going to be very, very much fun.

So I'm looking forward to this a lot, as you can tell.

And it's a great way to end the week because, well, it doesn't end the week per se,

but it ends the week of our serious interview discussions because tomorrow night will be

booze, bruise and bros, and you know there's nothing serious about that show. We just have fun with

that. And we don't talk about anything of consequence. We just talk about things that make us laugh

or make us make fun of each other.
