Episode Transcript

(00:23):
Hello there. I'm Chris Stashu,I'm Mike White, and I'm Father Malone.
And this is the last time we'reintroducing you to our little collaboration here
between our three podcasts Dreams for Sale. In the last four years since we
started this show, Father Malone nowhas his own podcast, and Mike and
I have two more ladies and gentlemen. You just when you when one door

(00:46):
closes, two or three or fourmore open, as they would say on
this final episode of Dreams for Sale, We're gonna be taking a look at
the final three episodes of the show, leading off with Crazy as a Soup
Sandwich, then Special Service, andthen rounding out with what Mike and I
call a Saturday Father and Sun Game. Father Malone and Sun Games. It

(01:08):
It's true, not really, No, don't don't. Don't. Don't lump
me together with that. No.As certain as death and taxes, we
are told the meek will definitely inheritthe earth, perhaps but not always.
Consider if you will, mister ArchieLochner, a well known petty crook sidebar

(01:32):
six for five or Shylock registered coward, an owner of a yellow streak so
vivid it could be slathered on ahot dog. Mister Lochner was written out
of the will when the meek wereguaranteed their inheritance, and just now he's
trying to avoid another kind of payoff, a soulful payoff in that off track
betting parlor we call the twilight zone. What were you stuttering on purpose?

(01:59):
I I Yeah, that's the onlygood part of that episode. Anyway,
we'll get to it. Yeah,So let's talk about the first episode,
written by Harlan Ellison. Harlan EllisonYO Crazy as a Soup Sandwich so aired
April first, nineteen eighty nine.It stars Anthony Francio says Nino Lancaster and

(02:20):
Wayne Robinson as Archie Lochner, andit also features WWF Shockmaster with the voice
of the Devil or demon. Itis the most obnoxious demon voice I have
ever heard. Yeah, and it'sit stars a con man who sells his
soul to the devil. I guessI thought that there was gonna be like

(02:42):
a punchline to this episode at somethinglike this is gonna be a comic book.
What you didn't get the punchline thatthe Boss has already captured demons.
Come on, baby, what's includingthe demon's father. So I never should
have put on any faith in you, son. It's a father and son
game already. This is all ofHarlan Ellison's worst instincts as a writer.

(03:08):
I'm glad to hear you say that, because I fucking hated this. Eup.
I thought this was a joke.I was like, oh, my
god father alone, it's it's aHarlan Ellison episode. He's gonna love it,
and I can't fucking stand this.Everyone is talking with a cartoon voice
the whole time. So yeah,okay, that's the thing overwritten. Okay,

(03:30):
So not only it's astoundingly overwritten.Not only does Harlan overwritey oh boy,
but they did that script no favorsby dressing every like, oh,
it's a gangster thing. Put themin a big floppy Fedora and a fucking
pinstripe suit because that's gangsters, right, And and the performances don't help anyone

(03:53):
at all. I mean, TonyFrancios is great, but I will say
that I'm going out wet because TonyFrancie also used to date my mom,
so Tom Waite's reference anyway, I'mlike, right back, got it.
I got it. Yeah, Idon't need special effects. Yeah I got

(04:14):
real scars, so yes, Butno, this was, like I said,
this is Harlan Ellison working at hissort of worth, and so I
was curious if this episode was writtenfor like the original sort of run,
maybe season one or season two,and just got left over and then then

(04:35):
they sort of brought it back.But as it turns out, no,
Harlan Ellison wrote this specifically for thethird season after having quit in season one
one, basically revenge. So Ifound a little quote where he said Struczynski
solicited me, solicited me to doa talent play for the syndicated zone being
aired for Prefects of what we callstripping. That means another forty episodes are

(04:59):
so neat to be filmed to totalthe one hundred acquired to put it into
syndication. For that series of shows, I wrote a story called Crazy as
a Souper Sandwich, which is aterrific little segment they filmed up in Canada.
It's a lovely little show. Sothat was in informative and incorrect.
Harlan wrong answer, pal, Yeah, I messaged you this when I was

(05:24):
watching it. This felt like againthis felt like a Tales from the Crypt
episode. Actually, there have beenTales from the Crypt episodes whose tone is
closer to this than this is toTwilight Zone. There have been Tales from
the Dark Sides about this. Therehave been monsters about this, Like everyone
has written this story and this isthis is you know, talking about the

(05:44):
way it's shot and the way it'slit is oh god, the way it's
No, it's it's worse. It'sworse than that, Like, oh sure,
but a third season of that showis what I'm getting at, Like
it's it's the unirrid season of Talesfrom the Dark Side. It's like it's
that level of like it like it'sthe BBC. Like if they had produced

(06:05):
this episode of Twilight Zone, Iwouldn't have been surprised. It is so
fucking cheap looking. It's all lighting. I mean, that's the whole thing,
right, They thought they were likegetting away with something with all of
the scrims, but no, Wellthat the monster for the majority of this
before he turns into a reject fromgargoyles, that that's all just lighting and

(06:28):
just yeah, a little three Danimation thing with lighting moving across that.
Okay, scary. Was that notjust like smoke? Was that? Like
I thought that was like like anunderwater effect that they didn't just it could
be. Yeah, I think itwas. I think it was just a
digital effect, like because they werethat CBS was doing digital like most of
the effects in the show is we'redone digitally, like because the show was

(06:49):
at this point shot on tape,right, I mean it's not film to
definitely not film this season is whatcould we even consider this entertainment? Like
what's what's weird? Is like there'sthis entire so there's a there's a demon,
and the demon wants the guy's soul, but the boss who also has
the guy's money, the guy thatguy owes that mune owes the gangster money,

(07:14):
the demon souls soul, and sothe gangster goes, I'm gonna deal
with the devil or creature demon andthen I'll deal with you cool paint my
office with lead paint. Yeah,all right, Harlan Allison, Folks,
stop, I just what's funny iswe you know, we started this show

(07:35):
with shatter Day and we're ending theshow with this, Yeah, and it's
that's all you just you could watchthese two episodes and go I get it
almost Harlan has to offer and definitelyin the running for one of the worst.
Harlan is very famously like wrote ashort story, and a pretty good

(07:55):
one actually in a bookstore window inan afternoon. This feels like he wrote
and line at a Walmart. It'snot. It's not much of anything anything
like it. It's a cartoonish,which is not a tone that the Twilight

(08:18):
Zone ever goes. No that,and that's the thing, like, so
reading her phrases a question, itdoesn't go for that. I've seen enough
of the show to know it doesn'tgo that way. Sci fi has always
had a comedy problem. There arevery few people sort of skilled enough to
do it really well. And butI think every like giant of sci fi

(08:39):
has always attempted to do or trytheir hand at comedy, and Harlan is
no exception. And as I said, like the worst of his short fiction
leans in the whimsical slapsticky like aren'tI funny? It's like, we don't
read you for your comedy ever,ever, so don't do that. But

(09:03):
so that's in evidence here, there'sno there's no defending this episode for me.
You vule Curbs, The Vole Curbs. Oh my god, did you
like this one, Mike, I'mso not at all. Yeah, shame
on you, Shame on all ofyou. Should we should we continue?

(09:24):
Yeah? Yeah? So let's asthis train just lurches into the station,
talk about the talk about the nextThe penultimate episode of the show, special
service introduction to mister John Sellec,a reasonably average man who goes through life
with both eyes open and both handsfirmly on the wheel. Mister John Sellec,

(09:48):
practical and steady, who is aboutto be blindsided by the Twilight Zone
by Randy Bradshaw, written by theMan J. Michael Strazinsk. Thank god.
Yeah, I was worried he wasn'tgonna make a fucking appearance. Oh,
David Naughton, our favorite Pepper fromthe classic Doctor Pepper commercial. He's

(10:11):
back. He's playing you guessed itTruman from The Truman Show, right.
This is the Truman Show before theTruman Show. I'm not a big fan
of the Truman Show. Better thanthe Truman Show, at least it was
shorter. I disagree. I disagree. I'm not the biggest fan of the
Truman Show either, but like ithas some ideas and it's trying to say

(10:33):
something. I don't know what thefuck this was, like like there's a
corporate Okay, look so you justsaid it, Like, but the setup
is the fucking mirror falls off theguy's bathroom wall and discovers this a camera
in there, and two seconds laterThink from Meatballs shows up doing it with
a British accent, shows up tofucking fix this thing and go like and

(10:56):
just say it. I'm like,no, man, he didn't see nothing.
You haven't seen nothing at all,Like this wasn't British. You're like
that, You're welcome. Oh Ialmost no, I'm not. Oh boy,
this is this is how the corporationdeals with like faulty cameras and shit.

(11:18):
Like they just walk up and golike that, you've seen nothing.
This was all the dirty. Thisthe only show that they have going.
I mean, I want to knowmore, and like, why are women
crazy for this guy? Oh mygoodness, they are just they want to
rip his clothes off. It seemslike a real drip. Yeah. I

(11:41):
could be because he's a werewolf whowill no, that would make him sexy
and cool. I've seen this guybe sexy and cool. He's not sexy
and cool here. I've seen himdance, I've seen all kinds of I've
seen him run naked, stealing balloons. Yes, that is true, and
he did that with Elon. Yes, not here, not here. Awkward

(12:01):
dancing is what we have here.Yeah, this is yeah, pure freak
out mode. What is going on? Ah emoting with his eyes and eyebrows,
like whoa, yeah, it's yeah, Well, like you said,
it's the Truman Show before the TrumanShow. Great, oh, we're all
in a TV show or this guy'sin a TV show. Gives a ship,

(12:24):
I'm sorry. And then they takehim and explain everything to him,
right, and then they put himback in his home, and it's like
right, I mean I kind oflike the idea they were kind of like
that you're not anymore. Yeah,like what I like that. I like
the kind of mind fuck sort ofquality of it. But like that's not
what this episode was about at all, So an unearned payoff anyways, Like

(12:46):
you don't need to be smart inan episode the stupid. I mean,
if it had been about this guy, like he's convinced that everyone's watching him
and he's on a television show andno one believes him, and then the
payoff. It's like that but maybebut like it's so random and happenstance,
like oh yeah, no, no, no, you're totally like everyone loves
you well and the whole world isn'tlike showing up. I remember, true.

(13:07):
Here's one thing that they did rightin Triman show. They have they
have like a little montage of peoplewho have tried to break in and let
him know that he's on a TVshow. Like one woman like pops out
of a box like it's you're onTV, like that would be happening,
Like there's no non disclosure agreement forthe country. Well that's yeah, it's
no. It's just he's just takento an office somewhere. And I don't

(13:28):
get that whole setup of their businessmodel, the whole thing like oh well
we've had all this money and blahblah, And I'm like, what why
is this Steven Naughton's problem? Yeah, they made it his problem. Yeah,
this seems like a that network exactly. He was in Hollywood Shuffle.
He was just one of the repertoryplayers in Hollywood Shuffle. I just remember

(13:50):
him playing like a dirty, hairytype of character. I like Hollywood Shuffle
a lot. Yeah, I likeit a lot more than this episode.
Oh yeah, for Hollywood, Ithought it's so good. Winky. I've
been trying to get Robert Townsend totalk to me for a long time and
just never gets back to me.Yeah, we're even friends on LinkedIn,

(14:11):
and you know how friendships are onthere. They are solid, rock box
solid. You LinkedIn several times.Yeah, can it can happen if you
just believe hard enough. If youask talk about Media Man, he'll probably
talk to him. That's true.That's true. Depends on the project.
Yeah, and let's not kid ourselves. That's the superior project anyway. So

(14:35):
everybody loves Media Man. I likeit more than this episode as well.
I like the concept, but theconcept is expounded upon in greater detail and
something that you would want to watchover this if you are interested in this
idea, there's a better place towatch it that does more with the time
that it's given. And it's giventhree times as much time. And I'm

(14:56):
not really even a fan of thatmovie, but I would rather watch the
movie then watch this episode. Yousee, baps, it was another Robert
Townsend movie. Oh it's really bad. It's really bad. Yeah, you
wonder who's who's running the show overthere? Towns and Productions. Makes you
wonder, anyway, what else isreally bad? Pete wheeds around the Devil's
son in law. But that's thehighest. That's a good movie. That's

(15:18):
that's actually it's actually a good movie. That's a good I've changed my mind
about that again. I've had oneof my famous changes of heart. Wow,
I'm back to liking that movie.It's true, Father Blowne's heart did
grow two sizes that day. Yeah, so shall we take this one home?
Bye? Are you ready? Justalrighty? So here it is,

(15:43):
Ladies and Gentlemen, the thirtieth episodeof the third season of the show and
the final episode of the first revivalof the Twilight Zone. Father and Son
Game. Don't be deceived by theyouthful appearance of our subject, Darius Stevens.
He abused his body seventy nine yearsnow, he's walking on his own

(16:03):
bottom, paid for two feet downa path he hoops would lead him into
a new life. Father Malone,Father Malone and Sun game. So that
would be way more interesting. Anythingwould be more interesting. So this episode
is directed by Randy Bradshaw written byJeremy Bertrand Finch and Paul Chitlick, and

(16:25):
stars Ed Marinaro and Eugene Robert Glazeras a father and son. One's a
robot maybe possibly, who the fuckknows, and anyone's trying to rest control
of his business. It's like,you know, Succession, if it was
bad and dumb and nothing like this. It's very to me. It's it's
it's free Jack if free Jack wasawful, really really bad. Yeah,

(16:48):
I guess it's more like that Selfless, the one with Ryan Reynolds. It's
more like along the lines of that. Yeah, yeah, right right,
this is this is a tremendously poorepisode. Yeah, it's poor science.
Like here's I made the joke earlierabout the stuttering, and that's the only

(17:10):
good part of the episode. Itis the only good part of the episode.
I think Ed Ed Marinaro Malanaro,like, I thought, I thought
he did that really skillful on it. Yeah, like he was breaking down
and he was. Yeah, itwas very subtle about it. The first
time it happened, I was like, oh, was that a mistake right
going on? Yeah? Yeah,yeah, it worked its way up very

(17:30):
very well. So kudos ed who. By the way, I could only
think of Laverne and Shirley the entiretyof this episode, right, I mean,
what else do we know him from? Yeah? Yeah, I think
my favorite thing about this episode isthat they essentially just gave up on set
design. I just threw sheets ontop of tables and we're like, this
is good enough at this point.We don't give a shit. We'll just

(17:52):
set it in a hospital where theyhave all this stuff already, and then
we'll just put like a sheet ontop of a desk and it'll look weird
if we got to pull it atthe quarters. It's like set design,
set design one oh one got twentydollars going on down to the local things
they had to shows and get whatever. They had to spend all the money
on those. That's very futuristically andscientific equipment. Where he's now like Max

(18:15):
Headrow just a head in the box. Yeah yeah, good call on that
one. And what's weird is likeit it's trying to have something to say
about, like what does it meanto be human? What is your humanity?
Consciousness? Your this is this isall great science fiction. It's like
bedrock science fiction, Like but writtenby somebody who I think doesn't like science

(18:37):
fiction, you know what I mean. Like it's these people who like are
television writers and then they get hiredon like this kind of show, and
I'm like, oh, well,what would we do? I don't know,
figure, what's what's the least scifi thing that we can do while
still getting away with it being somewhatsci fi? Yeah, immortality, right,
like a brain thing? Yeah,transference or they or they have like

(18:59):
numbers what is consciousness? But theyweren't even really interested in any of that.
They wanted to tell this story aboutthis like power struggled with this family
and money and like who fucking givesa shit? Like, you know,
tell the fucking story of the braintransference that occurred, which is a fucking
miracle potentially. And then at theend it's like, Okay, so his
body didn't even matter anyways, right, No, Like and like what the

(19:23):
like the big triumph is not necessarilythat his consciousness is still around us,
that he's going to be able toretry that case? Right, Ok,
we got good odds here. Youknow. It's like, remember they talked
back to a Christmin Glover about backto the future and like why he didn't
get along with marvits Mackis And hewas like, they rewrote the script where
it's like the payoff was like it'sall this monetary sort of payoff for Marty

(19:45):
and his family, and I waslike, that wasn't the original script.
It was them like they got togetheras a family. That was the idea.
And that's sort of like the samething here. The relationship is broken
irrevocably because he's a robot now ormaybe robot who knows. Yeah, yeah,
it's like it's as long as youknow, whatever consciousness you've retained,
as long as there's going to bea monetary payout at the end, you're

(20:08):
going to be good. And thenI feel bad for his wife because then
it's like she's suddenly his wife,right, even though she looks a lot
younger than seventy eight years old,but kind of looks more like the age
of Edmire and Arrow in this episode. Anyway, she's basically like his personal
slave now where it's like, oh, I need you to do this,
I need to do that because I'mfucking heading the box now. How and

(20:30):
why is there a court case atall? Why didn't he just leave everything
to his wife. I don't getthat at all. Did he trust her?
That's the end of the story.And then he's like, oh,
oh, I'll be here to helpbecause I don't want it. You know,
that could have been the story,like I don't want your fucking company,
Like please please, they're gonna takeit away, Like that could have
been an interesting thing. Turns offthe TV. Yeah yeah, yeah,

(20:52):
I've decided to go in another direction. Yeah, well that's the thing.
I mean, for me, thatshould have been the ending. And he's
just like turning it off and melike bye, nope, nope. It's
like the cheap cliffhanger ending. It'sa cliffhanger ending to an anthology episode.
And I tell you the thing thatbothered me the most about this segment is

(21:12):
one of the guys says we hadto digitalize the data. I worked with
an old guy years ago, thisis the nineteen ninety six, and instead
of saying digitize, he would alwayssay digitalize, I'm digitalizing. Oh.
It was like nails on a chalkboardand here's this guy, We're gonna have

(21:34):
to digitalize the data. I'm like, you would be more pacific than that.
Yeah, please, it's for thefuture. Oh yeah, I wish
that this episode wasn't the last episodeof the show, But at this point
I am glad. You know whatwasn't as bad as some of the others

(21:55):
we got. That's true spin works. I mean this one was like,
well, I could see problems withthe structure and the blah blah blah,
Like this easily could have been agood episode, Like some of them are
just like burn this fucking thing,Like what why? What is the purpose?
Yeah? Tell me your purpose?Yeah I don't, man, what
a just like limping along across thefinish line, dragging, just dragging yourself

(22:21):
across the finish line. Yeah.What an unceremonious end to the first revival
of this great show, which wouldbe revived twice more to varying degrees of
success. The first two seasons ofthis iteration of The Twilight Zone are readily
available, and you should visit theAmi Daly on YouTube because CBS doesn't give

(22:42):
a singular goddamn fuck. So justlike Tales from the Crypt on fucking YouTube,
and it's entirety because HBO and theGains family don't give a singular fuck.
They were so into the idea ofsyndication and making money off of this
thing that they fucked up the lastseason ish, So why not actually put

(23:03):
it out there in a different formand make some money off of it.
I've got the DVDs. Uh,yeah, I don't know. I don't
know. This last season of theshow, Harlan Ellison, you know,
obviously the stripping thing, the quotethat you said, we knew, we
knew about that, right, It'sjust it's just it's disappointing. It's just
just disappointing because again, the firstseason of the show is pretty good,

(23:26):
Like, man, it looks likegold compared to the last two seasons.
And you know what, his episodeisn't great, but at least it's it's
kind of cool because I know that, like Harlan Ellison hired Michael Strazinski for
twilight Zone, so it's nice thathe like at least tried to lend a
hand. It's not you know,the results weren't great, but that's at
least a decent thing that happened thisseason. Not much else. That's a

(23:48):
great title, that's it. Yeah, crazy as a soup sandwich And they
say it at the end of theepisode. Hey, that's the name of
the app Yeah, because I willsay that about the craziest soup Sandwich had
over every other episode of the season. The opening narration was really good,
and it's because Harlan Elliston wrote it. You's so yellow you could slather it
out on a hot though. Itwasn't just some perfunctory bullshit like that you

(24:11):
know, could have been slapped onany episode. It was like it was
very specific about what we're about tosee. So I like that. So
is there anything else we want totalk about? Go watch season one?
Well, that's what I wanted toask you guys as we bring this to
a close. Is there any episodesthat you would tell people to watch.
I'm not your favorite episodes, butepisodes that have stuck out to you guys

(24:32):
through the run of the seasons orjust in general. Because again, I
mean, we're at the point nowwhere the show we're done, but we
I think we owe it to thepeople who have listened or who will listen
to this. What episodes you know, just a couple that are worth checking
out at the end of this,like Shatter Day, Wordplay, Dealer's Choice,
a shadow Man, I have Newton, Those were sorry. Yeah,

(24:56):
the Toys of Caliban. Yeah,I'd recommend that that's a good one.
That's an ikey one could see TheInvincible Man. Yeah, the Uncle Devil
Show. Yeah, Children's Zoe wasgood. Yeah, Healer Eric bagoshin my
God, all the way back toseason all the way back. Saucer full

(25:18):
of loneliness or saucer of loneliness,Saucer of loneliness. That's season two,
right, yeah, very early seasontwo. Yeah, Convicts Piano was tight,
I thought. Yeah, Joe Penny, Yeah, yeah, that was
enjoyable, a lot more enjoyable thanthis season. Little People of Klady Woods
con Artists too. Largest. Thisshow has fulfilled one thing, which is

(25:47):
planting the image of Elvis and palingElvis on a guitar. Yeah, for
all time. Thank you, twilightZone. Yeah, thank you George R.
R. Martin who wrote that episodeElvis and paling Elvis and then making
all of the same Elvis mistakes becauseI know so good. Yeah, Elvis
gotta die to them drugs, baby, that's right. I guess like that

(26:11):
could have been interesting. It couldhave been Yeah, you would have done
everything he possede and like hating everyminute of it, Like, yeah,
it's like listening to I can't usethe restroom today. Yeah, right,
Colonel Tom's on the phone, justlike, yeah, we're gonna do a
bunch of pictures. Like no,Colonel Tom ruined me. That seems that

(26:33):
seems like a world ago. Ohyeah, Twilight So we're talking about to
and we talked about we talked abouttwenty nineteen Twilight Zone even for a little
bit, just a couple of episodes. Yeah. God, we were like
so excited. Oh, the twineZone is coming back on when we're doing
our shoe. Oh and it's what'shis name, Jordan? Jordan Field does

(26:56):
all this great stuff. So thatwas a fucking lie. So what do
we have to say for this show? Really? Watch this show? It's
good? Really still say that thefuck yo? Are you being for real?
First season? Oh? Okay,watch the first season, but the
first Yeah, but that's not whatyou said. You said, watch this

(27:18):
show. It's good. You'll knowwhen to stop. That's when we all
start. You know what we havewhen we all stopped? Is he I
meant. I meant that I meantat the time, in any right thinking,
for iCal for anyone who knows thereisn't isn't really that much of a
massachust, Like, clearly the threeof us, we'll know when to stop

(27:40):
watching this show. Yeah, it'sfunny. I was reading some of our
reviews and people are just like,these guys are so negative, and I'm
like, we have reviews. Yeah, we have some reviews, like god,
I've never read one. Yeah oniTunes. Yeah huh yeah. Yeah.
Well, now that we've finished,I guess already there you go.
Well that's I mean, no,Mike's right, it's it's it's this is

(28:04):
the same problem we ran into atthe end of the Tales from the Crypt
Show, where it's like it's hardnot to be negative. It's hard to
find the good things. But it'salso hard to sit here and let the
creators and writers of this show shovelshit into our mouths and tell us it's
chocolate pudding. It's I just asa viewer, I respect myself more than
that, which is why I respectthe audience enough to be honest with them.

(28:25):
If you want to hear people juststroke the show. I'm sure go
ask Jay Michael Strazinsky and he'll tellyou how great the show was and how
successful it was. Like it's justthere's there's no point not being honest.
Right, you don't have to apologizeabout it. I'm not apologizing. No.
Chris told me before he's not goingto apologize for anything ever. Again,
Right, that's good, sticking tothe guns, Chris, are you

(28:48):
Are you not going to take it? No, you're not gonna take it
anymore, not at all? Isthat going too? So? I guess
the final question I have here,Father Malone, it's twofold question. Hey,
are you glad we didn't do fuckingSea Bass nineteen ninety nine one thousand
percent? Y? Yeah, nowthat we've come to the end of this
show, are you glad Sea basedDSV? Yeah, I'm glad we did

(29:12):
