The Day 16 at the Twilight Zone Advent calendar and Jason Schwartz has another question for us.

He says, you're hosting a Twilight Zone marathon

and you have to pick four episodes,

but they have to have a theme running through them.

What do you pick? Okay, Zach, what do you pick?

Oh, this is tough. This might be one of the toughest questions, I think,

of the ones that I'm on. So I would pick aviation, which would mean planes, right?

Airplanes.

Because if you do this, I don't know if you picked four episodes themselves, Tom, but I went ahead and I picked four.

So I picked Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, my favorite episode of The Twilight Zone.

The Last Flight, which is the one about the World War, one pilot who shows up in World War, or post-World War II.

And he has to go back and there's like a time loop thing.

And that's really good.

Odyssey of Flight 33, as you mentioned in a previous episode of this project.

Just the whole dinosaur thing is cool and the whole legend of the flight.

And then I had to think like, well, like, this aviation kind of like space travel, but I think

if you go into space travel, it's like it's a whole other thing and you've got to keep it more like on Earth. So this is one that I would just put in,

not one of my favorites, not one that I ever talk about, not one that I've watched a lot, but

the arrival. It's where this airplane shows up and it's empty. And I think that's really

interesting. It's a real interesting mystery. Oh, yeah. I think it's kind of an underwhelming reveal at the end, honestly, but it's a fun journey, right?
