Dead Man's Shoes - Twilight Zone Episode REVIEW 

Hey, wassup Rez! The votes were so close last time, glad to hear from someone who won their pick. Good point about the crime novel feel. In this case I think the atmosphere helped a lot. Have a good one!

@@FeverDreamlandTheater Blargh! I bring up Reservoir and dont point out Edward Bunker, the crime novelist who played Mr. Blue??? Fail. Dont write back. 🤣🤘

Help aech other.. permanent 😊😊😊

He was great here, and his sci-fi work is amazing, so many shows throughout his career. Thanks Charles! Have a good one bro.

Aw, thank you! I keep at it : ) much appreciated as always. Have a great day ahead!

Hey Jack! That 80's one remake was such a pleasant surprise. I watched it for the first time recently, Helen Miren was great. Appreciate the kind words, have a good weekend!

Hey Mike! Thanks for checking in! I knew he had a familiar face but when I looked at his IMDB I was surprised at how much he'd been in over the years. Aside from the few I mentioned here, he was in MASH, Bonanza, Land of the Giants, Tarzan, Gun Smoke, Mission Impossible, ER...the list goes on. Very impressive. Have a good day ahead!

That's awesome. He was great in this and a lot of his other appearances.

I hear you dowsineglf77, much thanks for popping in all the same. Have a good weekend. 😀

Agreed, those subtle little moments accomplish so much to get the idea across.

LoL, I think I became aware of Samurai Cop through Riff Trax or Red Letter Media....it's actually a fun ride. I agree, Warren Stevens did a great job here. Much thanks Mr. Dan, be well & have a great weekend.

Dead Man's Shoes (2004)? Okay I'll have to check into that. Samurai Cop is on tubi at the moment...I'm VERY tempted. 😅 Thanks, have a good one!

Hey Betamax! That remake was surprisingly good! I think it's the episode that pretty much started me revisiting the 80's series. That sounds like an incredible writing assignment. It must have really allowed for your students to get creative. Good stuff man. Have a good day ahead.

Confirmed - the next Wacky World Lounge vid will feature you with a pony tail wig? 😅😅😅 Thanks for popping in Rob, yeah this one led me down the rabbit hole to some fun and obscure trivia. Have a good week ahead man.

🤣🤣🤣 lol true. Plus, Nate seems like a slow learner, so there may be another 3-4 more corpses over the next few days.

Hey Galantski! Thanks for catching up on the reviews! Brief comment? Hey now, no sweat man, I like your posts no matter what length! Do your thing, its all good! 😀 I love the connection you made here with 'What you need.' I always like to imagine some connections in the 5th dimension, so your idea of the shoes originating from the same shop in the old country as Dane's shoes is awesome! On a somewhat related note, ever notice in 'What You Need', Renard is in Pedott's apartment already when he arrives home? I may have to rewatch it to be fair, because maybe I missed something. I just wondered how he knew where he lived? In any case, I like that episode as well. Good hearing from you about this one! Be well & have a good one!

​@@FeverDreamlandTheater I rewatched the scene where Pedott enters his apartment, only to find Renard there. This comes immediately after the one where the _what you need_ pair of "magical" scissors saves Renard's life. Although we don't know the exact amount of time that elapsed, I'm thinking it wasn't too long, say later the same night. If that's the case, then Renard likely wouldn't have had the opportunity to spy on Pedott, and we know he didn't _follow_ the peddler back to his apartment. So, as you note, the mystery is how did he find his way in the flat ahead of his prey? I think the solution must be the simplest one: Renard knew, because they both lived in the same building and probably on the same floor, since he knew which was Pedott's apartment. As for him getting into the place, I'm guessing he climbed the fire escape and came in through a back window, unless he has lock-picking skills (Pedott used his key to enter, and as we can see the outer side of the door doesn't look as though it was forced open). Those are my thoughts, but do you have any other possible scenarios, Anthony? Finally, I have a quick quiz for you and your viewers. Chekhov's Gun is the name for a literary maxim that is said to have originated with the Russian playwright Anton Chekhov. When instructing budding writers, his advice is said to have included this: “If in Act One you have a pistol hanging on the wall, then it must fire in the last act.” Obviously, in practice the "gun" isn't limited to an actual firearm, but to any important plot point. It just so happens that there's a really great example in "What You Need". The quiz question is this: _What subtle but crucial plot point do we observe in the very first scene of the episode--even before we are introduced to any of the characters--that will play a vital role in the final act?_

*Give up?*

Hey Galantski! I either missed your Q or didn't get a notification. In any case, great question. I'm not sure I would have gotten that one. I appreciate the additional trivia though. Hope you are doing well. Take care man.

Thanks! Will do! LOL

Hey Julia! I hear you, that middle portion played better for me on a 2nd watch. As you noted, it gives the viewers more of a sense of Dane as a person & the personality switches were great. Thanks for the comment & have a good weekend ahead! 😀

Hey Mike! Hope you've been well. Now that is perfect timing. I think I'm a big enough fan of mob movies so stories like this mixed with Twilight Zone go a long way. Have a good one man! 🍻

T! Thanks for stopping by & the kind words man. Yeah when it comes to movies and tv, I like whatever man. lol, I'm fine with the classics, a shlockfest or anything in between.

I don't think you'd find these shoes at Footlocker. 😅 Thanks as always for checking in man, have a good day ahead!

LoL, I hear you man. Thanks SMR! Have a good one bro.

Hey wassup Max, always a pleasure, have a good day ahead and thanks for checking in!

Hey Patrick! I hear you man, thanks for checking in!

Thank you! You too!

Hey Lisa! 😁 Thanks for popping in, hopefully it's cooler in your part of the world. Have a good one!

Hey WillowHawk, thanks! Stay tuned for more!

Hey wassup Cirespeed! The mobster influence is what nudged up Book of Boba Fett a few notches for me. I really dig those types of stories....even mixed with other genres Thanks for checking in man.

@@FeverDreamlandTheater true!! Space mafia 😅

Thanks Marie, I appreciate the kind words and suggestions. There are a few vids I have dropped which I thought would break out more so, but you never know on here. I still have a few tricks left up my sleeve in terms of hopefully breaking out. RU-vid is a tough nut to crack......but challenge accepted. 💪 Have a great weekend ahead & see you next time in the 5th dimension! 😁

@@FeverDreamlandTheater good to hear, maybe more collaborations with some of the others? Anyways have a great weekend, and whatever you do, don't abandon the horse you rode in on... She's a fine mare, and TZ content is sorely needed in the current day.

😂😂😂 LMAO, good question, I guess he sort of washed up as best as he could with the shoes on somehow? But he would have had to take dirty clothes off and put clean ones on too, without taking the shoes off...so, I'm going to assume he was struggling for a while. 😂

✌
