Podcasters Of Horror Episode 35
Discussing The Twilight Zone (2002-2003) Episodes
‘Mr Motivation’ and ‘The Monster Are On Maple Street’

Welcome to this podcast series from The Super Network with Podcasters Of Horror! This podcast is all about horror anthologies from television and films and it began with a retrospective on Mick Garris’ Masters Of Horror series and continued on with looking Fear Itself, with bonus episodes on Goosebumps and Freddy’s Nightmares.

Your hosts ‘Super’ Marcey Papandrea and ‘The Terrible Australian’ Bede Jermyn both back for episode 35, returning to The Twilight Zone (2002-2003) with a deep dive discussion on two episodes with ‘Mr Motivation‘ and ‘The Monsters Are On Maple Street‘. These two were picked to check out because one features a talking doll (a subject we love discussing) and the other is a remake of an episode from the original series. Did Marcey and Bede enjoy these two episodes? Listen in and find out!
