you’re traveling through another
dimension a dimension not only of sight
and sound but of mind you just crossed
over into the twilight zone
welcome to watchmojo.com issed in the
twilight zone 2019 so far
before we begin we publish new content
every day so be sure to subscribe to our
channel and ring the bell to get
notified about our latest videos for
this list we’re scouring the first two
episodes of this reimagining of Rod
Serling’s iconic anthology series to
find all the inside jokes allusions and
easter eggs the Jordan peel has left for
us to discover obviously if you haven’t
watched the episodes yet a spoiler alert
is now in effect number 20 nightmare at
what yeah look he’s crawling them
starring a pre Star Trek William Shatner
this iconic episode of the OG Twilight
Zone follows a man who’s so convinced he
sees a gremlin outside his airplane that
he goes to extreme measures to save
himself and his fellow passengers the
rebooted nightmare at 30,000 feet
follows a similar albeit updated story
where Adam Scott is also trying to save
his plane which he thinks is doomed
thanks to a mysterious podcast but there
are even more detailed callbacks the
name doctor cravat is mentioned
appropriately referencing the actor who
originally played the gremlin Nick
Krabat and we bet you didn’t miss the
toy gremlin that washed up on shore
after the plane crash
definitely not a mistake number 19 the
mural at Eddie’s the mural at Eddie’s
comedy club is a veritable treasure
trove of classic twilight zone imagery
did you notice how some of the faces
seemed kind of bizarre these are direct
visual references to the episode I of
the beholder where an attractive woman
is viewed as hideous by her shocking
looking counterparts and the masks where
a terrible family has their faces
[Applause]
also so is that weird looking comedy
tragedy mask and you know the ending
where Sameer is in the mural this seems
to allude to a few things one of which
is Rod Serling’s other anthology series
Night Gallery which used pieces of art
as a storytelling device and sometimes
ended with people inside the paintings
as well number 18 a nice place to visit
by the way the rest of that saying is
but I wouldn’t want to live there the
storyline of this Serling Arizona pisode
would be familiar to any fans of the
good place
mother forking shirt boss after being
shot in a robbery gone wrong
rocky wakes to find himself in a place
where he can’t lose and everything he
wishes for comes true sounds like heaven
right put your money on the table back
right there I’m a fourteen red Rocky
alright dawg
well rocky gets bored pretty fast so he
asks to go to the other place but wait
turns out he was in hell this whole time
and this ultimately mirrors the journey
Sameer takes after making his Faustian
deal he goes from enjoying his success
to hating it and finally looks for a way
out I come up here and I try and make
people laugh why does that want to
spread joy because I want the world to
be a better place no number 17
can omit are you thirsty need a
refreshing beverage that won’t at all
remind you of a deadly alien species
well then can emit lager is definitely
not the answer to your problems we are
here to help you the drink which can be
seen being consumed by dee dee in the
episode the comedian is named after the
race of aliens known as the kanima in
the original series episode to serve man
in the episode the candidates travel to
earth in search of a snack or in less
subtle terms to devour all of the human
race
please mr. chambers eat we wouldn’t want
you to lose weight if only they had some
tasty candidate lager to wash that meal
down with number 16 Donner all right so
this one has many layers both episodes
of the show released so far have had
characters who share the last name
Donner the first of which Joe Donner
features in the episode the comedian
give it up for of course paired with the
pilot in nightmare at 30,000 feet named
captain Donner this must be a clear
reference to one Richard Donner the
iconic filmmaker who directed a number
of episodes of the original series just
say his name was Captain Donner
of course the Donner thing could also be
a reference to the notorious Donner
family which may have foreshadowed
number 15 podcasts how could you
possibly update Rod Serling’s classic
20th century television show for the
21st century
well podcasting is surely one way little
did the passengers of flight 10:15 know
in less than an hour their plane would
disappear from flight control radar
never to be heard from again the second
episode of this revival series sees Adam
Scott learning of his own disappearance
through a podcast titled and Nick Matt
eek what many viewers might not know is
that actor Adam Scott is actually a
podcaster himself often co-hosting the
show you talk in u2 to me and it’s REM
counterpart and all four of those guys
are in the band one second here sorry –
not only that but regular podcast
listeners may recognize the voice of
enigma tick as one Dan Carlin of
hardcore history fame number 14 lost
sorry I ever doubted you given that the
second episode of this show deals with a
mysterious plane disturbance people were
quick on the trigger to try and spot any
references to the TV show Lost they
could however ironically it’s the
episode the comedian that cleverly gets
in a quick knot to the influential TV
series during Samir’s first stand-up
routine he briefly talks about an
airplane crash in the Atlantic Ocean
someone must have been having fun in the
editing room as we quickly cut – a man
in the audience who looks an awful lot
like John Locke good news
we’ll be getting you 89% of the way
there bad news
that puts us at the bottom of the
Atlantic Ocean all the talk of oceanic
flights in the next episode probably got
the most die-hard Lost fans pretty
not to mention that whole plane crash on
a mysterious island we’re way too many
people survived thing number thirteen
peals bracelet next week we show you the
face of war but the kind of portrait we
want you to say you’ve never seen before
having to follow a legend like Rod
Serling must mean no simple feat but
Jordan Peele has more than showed us why
he’s perfect for the role
he’s got the calm and cool manner of the
og host but he’s definitely doing his
own thing in the end Samir’s final
encore is a show you can only buy a
ticket to not only is he respectfully
paying homage to the sci-fi writer and
his hosting chops but Pele also threw in
a slight not to Sterling’s military
roots toward the end of nightmare at
30,000 feet Pele can be seen sporting a
bracelet with a parachutist badge an
obvious reference to Serling’s time in
the 11th Airborne Division number 12
flight history speaking of spending time
in the air the episode nightmare at
30,000 feet named drops a number of
flight numbers and knowing the vast lore
of the twilight zone
you just know these had to mean
something the crash of trans East
airlines flight 22 out of Miami Beach or
the anomaly of global airlines flight
107 out of Buffalo the crash of trans
East airlines flight 22 out of Miami
Beach is the first mention which is
featured in the original series episode
22 where the titular flight explodes in
midair
the second flight mentioned global
airlines flight 107 is a clear reference
to another original series episode
titled the arrival which mysteriously
lands successfully but without a
passenger on board you gonna have to
tell the passengers the luggage has been
delayed somebody and let this plane take
off without so much as an envelope in
there well I’d be happy to except for
one thing what
there aren’t any passengers creepy
number 11 a world of his own
her name is Victoria West here’s an
example of one Stirling era episode that
somehow referenced in both the comedian
and nightmare at 30,000 feet the classic
era season 1 finale a world of his own
is about a writer who’s got a special
tape recorder which if he uses it to
record a description of a character will
cause that character to appear in flesh
[Music]
the downside if he destroys the tape the
person ceases to be of course this is
not only reminiscent of the spooky
podcast playing mp3 player found by
Justin Sanderson it is also clearly
connected to Samir’s godlike power to
erase people from existence with his
number 10 The Shining in one of his
final stand-up act / monologues / rant /
whatever you want to call it Sameer is
ranting against seemingly every person
he’s ever met or even heard of but one
name drop stands out to us as a clear
the Torrance’s are of course the family
at the center of Stephen King’s The
Shining but the reference goes even
deeper the final shot in the episode is
a visual cue harkening back to Stanley
Kubrick’s adaptation of King’s work the
reveal of Samir is a tuxedoed member of
the audience and the mural on the wall
is very similar to the shot of Jack
Torrance as a tuxedoed member of the
assume your always been the comedian
here number nine
Paul Grinstead won’t get to Samir’s long
hit list later but we just wanted to
highlight one major one here when our
main character is researching his long
list of lifelong enemies he comes across
the name Paul Grinstead if this name
sounds familiar it appears in the
original series episode mirror image
where the character Paul Grinstead comes
to the aid of the main character
Millicent Barnes who is frightened after
seeing her own doppelganger incidentally
my name is Grinstead Paul Winston I’m
from Binghamton this reference goes one
step further when you realize that
Jordan Peele used mirror image as a
jumping-off point for his latest film us
they look exactly like us number eight
it’s a good life be dead gopher you be
dead
we’ve all got some mortal enemies but
it’s a little extreme to want to make
them disappear forever
the comedian explores this idea by
having stand-up comic Sameer wasan
discovered that he has the power to make
people in his life disappear by telling
jokes about them on stage anyone who’s
watched through the original series
however knows that this premise shares
some similarities with the episode it’s
a good life this episode from the show’s
third season sees a six-year-old boy
with the ability to banish those who
cross him to a desolate cornfield you’ll
do something that bill assam star did
you said put him in the corner
she’s makes you think twice about
getting on anyone’s bad side number
seven
Samir’s plane crash joke Sameer is
having a bad set when he somehow fits a
plane crash reference into a bit about
the Second Amendment but imagine you’re
in a plane and halfway through your
journey the pilot comes on and he’s like
hey folks classic good news bad news do
you think in a show this well-crafted
that it’s a coincidence the next episode
deals with a plane crash where he used
two shows throwing back two previous
episodes and the new Twilight Zone does
that in episode two but to throw forward
is impressive did you spot that magazine
featuring Jacob Tremblay expect that to
come back how about the mission to Mars
mural from what we’ve seen that will pop
up again too
this is exactly the kind of shared
universe world-building that will force
us to binge rewatch the whole season
again once it’s done number six the
x-files
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
the Venn diagram of Twilight Zone fans
who also like the x-files must intersect
pretty significantly so this reference
should be a real treat for fans of all
things spooky Glenn Morgan is currently
serving as an executive producer on this
Twilight Zone reboot but he’s probably
best known for his contributions to the
final destination film series which is
very interesting considering the plane
crash premonition narrative in the
episode nightmare at 30,000 feet he’s
also famous for his work on the x-files
aside from the Morgan connection we also
see captain Donner played by actor
Nicolas Lee who played alex krycek on
the x-files as well as some clear visual
nods to the Fox series opening sequence
number five Samir’s contact list
everyone knows that today if you see a
contact list on screen you can almost
guarantee the names are references to
something in the case of Samir’s friends
these are all references to old Twilight
Zone episodes alphabetically we first
see al Cadwallader whose name is a nod
to the devil from the classic episode
escape clause next James quarry is the
futuristic inmate at the center of
another classic episode the lonely Henry
Corwin is taken from the 1985 Twilight
Zone reboot up night of the meek al
Denton must be the titular mr. Denton on
doomsday and James Embry is the name of
the pilot from King 9 will not return
you should to get the pieces together
who did we miss any number four Eddy’s
know that protracted apostrophe talk was
not just for all you grammar nerds out
there it had multiple hidden meanings
you just gotta know where to look okay
the name Eddie is a homophone for Eddie
or EDD Y which according to the
dictionary is quote a current of water
or air running contrary to the main
current especially a circular current
translation it’s kind of a synonym for
whirlpool and that mirrors Sameer story
much like getting caught in a whirlpool
he gets caught up in the fame until
ultimately the force is too much and
he’s drawn in it also indicates that
it’s a cycle it probably happened to JC
wheeler before Sameer
edie it’ll probably happen to didi after
him Wow if if you had any notes number
three no apostrophes sounds so funny
no apostrophes yeah you might be the
target audience I don’t get it
geez we guess we should have paid more
attention to this conversation because
the club’s called Eddie’s but you think
that it would be Eddie’s but then this
signs saying that no it is actually
Eddie’s it’s just that we don’t allow
apostrophes so now it’s Eddie’s that is
funny although it may have seemed like a
red herring the discussion of why
Eddie’s comedy club has no apostrophe in
its sign was actually also alluding to
the literary device known as apostrophe
and not the punctuation mark at least
according to redditors like gunther
folly to put it simply this figure of
speech refers to any time a character
talks directly to like an inanimate
object or some character who’s not
actually in the scene with them like
maybe some dear departed friend or
family member perhaps that would
certainly make sense here given the
number two Whipple by this point you
gotta expect Jordan Peele and Co will be
referencing the original series at every
chance they get if you were watching
nightmare at 30,000 feet and wondering
if the Whipple device is just some funny
name they came up with will explain look
to the original series episode the brain
Center at Whipple’s for an answer to
this one where the owner of a
manufacturing company titled Whipple
fires all of his employees in favor of
assembly machines here’s hoping that
Whipple becomes a sort of tagra auto
type fictional company that frequently
reappears throughout the series your
company employs thirty four thousand
eight hundred and twenty seven men added
to thirteen other major Whipple plants
across the country number one the
ventriloquist dummy even if you’re not
pedia phobic you probably notice that
ventriloquist dummy in the dressing room
at Eddy’s comedy club well this dummy is
basically a celebrity in the Twilight
Zone universe known alternatively as
Willy or Caesar he actually appeared in
two episodes of the original series
didn’t you begin someone the dummy and
Caesar and me in both cases that doll
has a mind of its own and while that
doesn’t seem to be the case here we
wouldn’t put anything past that creepy
face in real life
Willy slash Caesar has been living
alongside other magic memorabilia and
famed magician David Copperfield’s
Museum in Las Vegas and was led to the
show without charge on one condition
they referenced Copperfield somehow in
the episode it’s Chris Rock evil David
Copperfield

didn’t you begin someone the dummy and
Caesar and me in both cases that doll
has a mind of its own and while that
doesn’t seem to be the case here we
wouldn’t put anything past that creepy
face in real life
Willy slash Caesar has been living
alongside other magic memorabilia and
famed magician David Copperfield’s
Museum in Las Vegas and was led to the
show without charge on one condition
they referenced Copperfield somehow in
the episode it’s Chris Rock evil David
Copperfield
