The Key of Imagination: A Twilight Zone show with Joe Meyer

The Key of Imagination is dedicated to Rod Serling"s masterpiece: The Twilight Zone. But, our podcast will be a little different than other Twilight Zone shows you might have listened to. Research has shown that experiencing awe leads to fuller, more meaningful connections with humanity; it can help push back against depression; and it can improve one"s sense of well-being. I"ve been using the Twilight Zone in my college classrooms for over 20 years for this very purpose. We"re going to look for the

He can reach into his box of wares and pull out exactly what you need to help you through a particularly difficult part of your life. But, when down-on-his-luck Fred Renard realizes what Pedott can do, he decides that he is going to finally try and get what he believe he is owed. In this episode, we're going to talk about the

That's at the heart of our Twilight Zone episode this week: "And When the Sky was Opened." Three astronauts leave earth only, disappear for 24 hours, and then mysteriously reappear.

John Lyly famously said, "all is fair in love and war." However, we know that this is not true. War is a complex moral subject. As a paratrooper in World War II, Rod Serling knew this first hand. In this week's episode of Key of Imagination, we're taking a look at "Judgment Night." It's the story of a man damned, not for the war he brought to humans but for the war he brought upon humanity. We'll talk about whether or not torments can go too far; if the men aboard

Can dreams hurt us? No, I'm not talking about some Freddie Kruger stuff. I mean can nightmares cause our bodies to fail? In this week's episode of KOI: A Twilight Zone Show, we're talking about the episode "Perchance to Dream." It's the story of a man in crisis, desperately trying to stay awake, for if he goes to sleep, he will be face-to-face with Maya, the femme fatale. We'll talk about sleep, heart conditions, and what seems to me to be somewhat of a plot hole in the

2024/02/03

A classic Twilight Zone episode--Time Enough at Last stars the great Burgess Meredith. If there's a Twilight Zone hall of fame, Meredith is a first-ballot inductee. Most people have the image of Henry Bemis, his glasses lying in the rubble, with him repeating over and over, "it's not fair." But, is it? That's one of the questions we're going to pursue in this episode. We talk a bit about The Walking Dead, Godzilla, Shigeru Kayama, and why we seem to love

Should we let robots become the caretakers of our elderly? Can artificial companions solve our loneliness problems? Rod Serling's Twilight Zone was already asking these questions before we even knew they were possible. In this week's episode of The Key of Imagination, we're going to explore these questions and more through the Twilight Zone episode "The Lonely," starring Jack Warden as James Corry and Jean Marsh as Alicia. So, if you're interested in joining us in the

If you were offered immortality, would you take it? In this week's episode of The Twilight Zone, Walter Bedecker is going to receive such an offer. In "Escape Clause," we are introduced to a man who is absolutely terrible--and I'm not talking about the Devil, who is also in the episode. Walter Bedecker is a horrible human being, but does he deserve this ending? Well, let's talk about it. We'll discuss immortality, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil from the Bible,

You can't go home again, or so the phrase goes--unless you just happen to live in the Twilight Zone. In "Walking Distance" we meet Martin Sloan (played by Gig Young), a man who is tired of the hustle and bustle of the world and in dire need of a return to simpler times. But, when he finds himself suddenly in his old childhood stomping grounds, he learns a valuable lesson about life and nostalgia. This is often considered a classic by Twilight Zone fans because it seemed to be a special

In this week's episode of The Key of Imagination: A Twilight Zone Show, we are going to the movies--and we might not be coming back, if our star has anything to say about it. We're taking a look at "The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine", starring Ida Lupino as Barbara Jean Trenton. Barbara Jean was at the top of the movie star game, but the tastes of the people have moved on to new stars. This has left Barbara Jean pining for the past. She locks herself in a room and plays her old movies

In this episode of Key of Imagination: A Twilight Zone Show, we are going to make a sales pitch, one for the angels. If I'm going to grow my audience, I better learn how to make a sales pitch. Luckily for me, I happen to be working with some of the greatest materials ever to touch a television screen--or any screen for that matter: Rod Serling's Twilight Zone.

Oh, no! Not another Twilight Zone show. How is this going to be any different than the 50 others? That's a fair question. I'll answer it here, but it will take a lot of time and work to provide a more adequate answer through the episodes themselves. My name is Joe Meyer. I'm a college instructor, and I've taught the Twilight Zone numerous times in the classroom over my career. What makes this show different from other Twilight Zone podcasts is that we'll be using Rod
