A new study of one of Rod Serling's magnificent studies of human nature, more specifically the classic "Twilight Zone" episode "The Masks," one of the "TZ" eps that this author has actually seen quite a few times. That's interesting, given the fact that every time I flip through the channels and see that Syfy is having another "TZ" marathon, like over a holiday weekend, an episode manages to appear that I have never seen! Now how does that happen, when it's one of my all-time favorite shows??? That alone is a "Twilight Zone" thing.
Anyway, I do digress! In the latest episode of the Just Beneath the Surface series hosts Brian and Bruce dive into (yes!) the greed, the selfishness, the pretenses (hello, Facebook!!!!!), the masks we all wear, the not-so-gentle allegory that Serling was so well-known for, which shines in this "TZ" story. As always, Serling has something to say that transcends the decades.
