Tonight’s episode of The Twilight Zone might remind you of a previous episode entitled The Dummy. Once again, we have a story about a ventriloquist (Jackie Cooper) and a dummy who appears to have a mind of his own. (In fact, the same prop dummy was used in both episodes.) However, Caesar and Me is an even darker take on the conflict between puppet and puppeteer.
Seriously, don’t mess with Caesar.
This episode originally aired on April 10th, 1964.
Remember how this morning’s movie — Robot Monster — featured dinosaurs?
Well so does tonight’s episode of The Twilight Zone! In The Odyssey of Flight 33, a commercial airline flight somehow flies straight into the past, where they see …. dinosaurs! Now, I’ll be honest here. These are not dinosaurs like the dinosaurs in Jurassic World. But I imagine for 1961, those dinosaurs were pretty impressive!
And this episode holds up as well. I especially love the ambiguous ending.
The Odyssey of Flight 33 originally aired on February 24th, 1961.
