Welcome to The Anthologist, a podcast where some guy you don't know or care about watches and reviews randomly selected episodes from randomly selected Anthology TV shows that you may or may not know or care about. Shows designed to be watched in any order, watched in no particular order. This Week:

Ray Bradbury Theater - Season Five, Episode Three: “The Jar," a sleazy southern fried story of cuckolds, rednecks, and mysterious sideshow attractions in desperate need of a tentacle wriggling monster that never comes.

Tales Of The Unexpected - Season Two, Episode Seven: “The Stinker," a tightly wound story about a tightly wound man finally finding the confidence to stand up to his childhood bully in the worst way possible.

And stay tuned for The Expansionist, where I treat the episodes I reviewed as failed backdoor pilots and imagine the full series that might have been, in this case an anthology show about a mystery box macguffin traded from cursed owner to cursed owner, and a more grounded, understated take on the Breaking Bad style regular guy goes bad formula.
