KOI: A Twilight Zone Analysis Show - The Hitch-Hiker #16

Spoiler alert: We’re discussing important portions of this episode, so if you have not yet seen the episode, I encourage you to watch it first, and then come back and enjoy our analysis.

Every so often, we experience moments that seem outside of the normal patterns of existence. Nan Adams (Inger Stevens) a young woman on a cross-country trip across the United States, is experiencing just such an event. No matter how fast or far she seems to drive, Nan cannot seem to outrun a particular hitch-hiker, a man--or entity--who seems to have a hidden purpose. This week on Key of Imagination, we're taking a look at the classic Twilight Zone episode: "The Hitch-Hiker." We'll talk about what the hitch-hiker might actually be; we'll try and figure out the purpose of the sailor; and I'll reveal to you my moment of awe. If you're...going my way...consider joining us on this journey through the fifth dimension.

No show did a better job than The Twilight Zone at generating awe and wonder within its audience. It just so happens that awe is exactly what we need in these difficult, divisive times. So, join me, Joe Meyer, and let's walk through the fifth dimension with Rod Serling. Along the way, we'll discuss big questions and relate them back to our Twilight Zone episodes.
