As the old adage goes, friendships that begin with Midnight Run quickly move on to The Twilight Zone. It was such a joy to bring my Midnight Run-Through pod guest Alan Sepinwall back to Watch With Jen to chat about his brilliantly engrossing, brand-new, page-turning biography of Rod Serling, hitting shelves next week. I read & loved my advance copy of Sepinwall's great book. And as you'll quickly deduce, I had a ball covering all things Rod Serling and The Twilight Zone with him in this engaging episode, which found us zeroing in on three of the show's classic alien invasion episodes in particular, including "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street," "The Invaders," and "To Serve Man."
