  • Episode 354: The Book of Hell
    Oct 31 2024

    Our Patreon supporter Zachary sent us to the Listener Library to check out “The Book of Hell” from Nightfall! Thanks, Zachary! The episode features a publishing house struggling to survive which is presented with a strange manuscript from an author who apparently died two years ago. Allegedly, the text is an actual message from hell! Even as they debate the morality of publishing the text, they discover the manuscript itself has strange qualities. Was this book literally written in hell? What truths about damnation does it describe? Has Eric secretly been a fan of Nightfall all along? Listen for yourself and find out!

  • Episode 353: The Dark Mirror
    Oct 23 2024

    This week we’ll be reflecting upon the Screen Director’s Playhouse adaptation of the film, “The Dark Mirror”! Olivia_de_Havilland recreates her dual role as a set of identical twins who come under suspicion for murder. But it’s unclear which was at the scene of the crime, and which had an alibi— and the twins refuse to reveal which was which. The pair are researched in depth by a specialist in the psychology of twins, but soon a romance blossoms between the scientist and one of his subjects! Did one of them commit the crime? Is there really no better “twin specialist” available? What’s it like to get paid like a musician? Listen for yourself and find out!

A band of brave astronauts have arrived on Mars and, while they wait to report back to Earth, they encounter the planet’s inhabitants. But the Martians’ reactions to the newcomers is neither hostility nor the hero’s welcome the men expected! Why are the Martians behaving so strangely? Are these really the best men Earth had to offer? Will we remember this episode three years from now? Listen for yourself and find out!
