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:

The Twilight Zone (1959) - Season Five, Episode Twenty Four: “What's In The Box," a pulpy two hander about ominous visions delivered through TV signals revealing our deepest, darkest secrets and warning us all about the ever present danger of punch-able old ladies standing too close to multi-story apartment windows.

Black Mirror - Season Four, Episode Five: “Metalhead," an episode of this obviously terrible show everyone is wrong for loving that isn't entirely unwatchable, and graciously waits until the last five minutes before Black Mirroring itself with pointless nihilism and garbage twists.

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 a supernatural mystery about the residents of an apartment building betrayed by their own media and a LOST-style flashback laden indictment of Jeff Bezos and Amazon destroying the world with deadly convenience.
