Day 7 of the Twilight Zone podcast Advent calendar and it's a question from our friend

0:13.5

Kaleen Brosnahan and she says you've just won an all expenses paid vacation for one week

0:20.1

to a Twilight Zone destination of your choice.

0:23.6

You choose the episode and the location from that episode where you would like to spend the

0:28.6

week. Where will you choose to go and what will you do while you're there?

0:35.6

So this was an interesting one and I took a bit of time to chew it over and it's like,

0:41.3

well what do I love about the Twilight Zone?

0:44.3

2:02.8

but it would be a hell of a week. It's a vacation. It's not supposed to be a healthy.

2:07.4

I mean, taking up smoking is extreme unhealthy, but sure, sure. So my answer kind of starts off

2:15.0

very similar to yours because one of the things that I really love about the Twilight Zone and about 50s American TV in general is that kind of residential small American town.

2:28.1

You know, the idea that everybody knows everybody and it's all very cute and things.

2:31.8
