Need an escape? Try these "Twilight Zone" episodes on for size

You know, sometimes you just need to get away, whether for the day or for a lifetime ... It's a common theme in television, and it was a common theme on the classic "Twilight Zone" series by Rod Serling. From an aging actress watching her old movies and pining for the good old days, to an ad exec who visits the five-and-dime and merry-go-round of his childhood, to a harried New York City worker who on the commuter train home encounters the gentler, kinder Willoughby, these stories are captivating for their escapism.

Here's what Bruce and Brian discuss in the latest episode of "Just Beneath the Surface":

  • "The Sixteen Millimeter Shrine" (Season 1, Ep. 4) 
  • "Walking Distance" (Season 1, Ep. 5)
  • "A Stop at Willoughby" (Season 1, Ep. 30)

Terrific non-TV Toys: What's in the box? Reaction video!

We had to scoot another video out of the way (rescheduled it for one year from now -- can you believe it? but BRBTV has been doing a big-time production period of many collectibles episodes the past few weeks). When you get a mail call from Canada, you get a mail call from Canada, and that's just the wonderful way it is! A package from Jim Wilson of Jim's Creations is important! So we rushed this episode into production to solve the mystery of just what is in the box this time (see our previous videos, part 1 and part 2, for more gifts from Jim).
