Star Wars Attack Of The Clones Commentary Sample
Hello! Take a watch of a sample of our first commentary track! This is not a Mystery Science Theater 3000 or Riff Trax style riff, more akin to a directors commentary track. As promised before CoVid, the first is on the only Prequel we have not covered, Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, frankly, I am a fan of sand.
If you want to see the whole thing, consider joining the patreon at the $10 level for four commentaries a year!

The Twilight Zone Zone – Episode 13: “To Serve Man” and “The Dummy”
Every week on The Twilight Zone Zone,we go down Donald Liebenson’s list The 26 Episodes We Talk About When We Talk About The Twilight Zone from Vanity Fair, chronologically by release date and compare two episodes and choose which one to recommend. This week we watched “To Serve Man” and “The Dummy”
“To Serve Man”
Kanamits, nine-foot-tall creatures from outer space, promise they have come to our planet, “above all things, to help the people of Earth.” They have no ulterior motive, they reassure: “We ask only that you trust us.” Which leads to The Twilight Zone’s darkest and most famous punch line. This episode is also notable for inspiring the aliens Kodos and Kang on The Simpsons.
“The Dummy”
It’s a battle of wills between Jerry (Cliff Robertson), a second-rate nightclub ventriloquist, and Willie, 24 inches of timber, who Jerry is convinced is alive. “He talks when I don’t talk. He tells jokes I’ve never heard before,” he insists to his long-suffering agent (a pre-Gomer Pyle Frank Sutton). Unsteadying expressionistic camerawork by director Abner Biberman anticipates which personality will win out with an absolutely creepy final shot.
There are many paths in life, but which one will you travel down in the Twilight Zone, Zone…

Twilight Zone Zone Episode 12: “Five Characters in Search of an Exit” and “Nothing in the Dark”
Every week on The Twilight Zone Zone,we go down Donald Liebenson’s list The 26 Episodes We Talk About When We Talk About The Twilight Zone from Vanity Fair, chronologically by release date and compare two episodes and choose which one to recommend. This week we watched “Five Characters in Search of an Exit” and “Nothing in the Dark.”
“Five Characters in Search of an Exit”
The setup is a little bit Saw and a little bit Waiting for Godot: an Army major (William Windom) finds himself in a circular enclosure with no doors, no windows, and no ceiling. He has no idea who he is or how he got there. And he’s not alone; present, but more resigned to their situations, are a clown, a ballerina, a hobo, and a bagpiper. This episode gives new meaning to the eternal question, “Why are we here?” Your mileage may vary as to the ultimate answer, but the questions posed (“How long will we be here?” “What’s up there?”) are profound in or out of The Twilight Zone.
“Nothing in the Dark”
Many actors got their start on the Zone—none more famously than Robert Redford, who appears here as a policeman who is shot outside of the door of an elderly woman who refuses to leave her condemned apartment for fear of being taken by “Mr. Death.” For more before-they-were-big moments, see Robert Duvall in “Miniature,” Burt Reynolds in “The Bard,” and Charles Bronson in “Two.”
