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 Three, Episode Seventeen: “One More Pallbearer," a small scale story of petty revenge with large scale apocalyptic ramifications that still mostly works as a character study and morality play, even if it pulls its punches a little too much, completely unlike the last Twilight Zone episode I watched for this show.

Rumic Theater - Season One, Episode Six: “As Long As You Are Here," a cute little slice of life story about a successful corporate executive forced to learn humility while helping his ailing wife, the first episode featured from an anime anthology series that still mostly works despite the notable absence of vampires, aliens, or robots.

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 deep dark exploration of one man's long term plan to get back at everyone in his life who wronged him by controlling every aspect of their doomed, post-apocalyptic lives, and a heartwarming Greg Garcia style small town single camera sitcom about the trials and tribulations of a local convenience store.
