This week, we're taking a look at the Twilight Zone episode "Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room." For Jackie Rhoades, nothing comes easy. Ever since he was a young boy, he has had to prove himself. However, instead of these difficult moments fashioning him into a strong, independent person, it has simply reduced him to a lacky--an individual who only finds purpose through someone else's eyes. In this case, that someone else just happens to be a no-good criminal by the name of George. In this KOI episode, we're going to dive deeper into the psychology behind the man in the mirror; we'll try and uncover how George is able to keep Jackie under his thumb; and I'll reveal my moment of awe, a personal story about my own run-in with some bullies. So, grab your keys, and let's unlock this door to the fifth dimension. As always, spoiler alert. If you have not seen the episode, go check it out and then come back here for the analysis. We're walking through Rod Serling's class Twilight Zone series and asking difficult questions about life. So, if you love The Twilight Zone, science fiction, or even just philosophizing about life, consider joining us on this journey. There's always room for more.
