The Twilight Zone s5 e3 Reaction | nightmare at 20000 feet | First Time Watching CAPTAIN KIRK!!!

[@Maysoon3121]

One of my favorite William Shatner played twice in twilight zone

[@jimirayo]

'The Monsters are Due on Maple Street' is one of my favs (one of many, many favorites). It actually has relevance in today's crazy society.

[@jamesscanlan6240]

Excellent performance by Shatner who has said they were supposed to have four days to shoot it but had to do it in two. So hats off to Richard Donner for being able to shoot something this good so quickly.

[@raiders345]

This episode was written by Richard Matheson, the same man who wrote the Star Trek episode "The Enemy Within!"

[@TTM9691]

Your reaction to seeing Captain Kirk was PRICELESS. Two seconds later you recognize that Richard Donner is directing. And then the reaction itself was EXACTLY what we all felt when we first saw it! I'm subscribing!!!!!!!!!!!!! PS: Fave Twilight Zones (other than this one): Mirror Image, Time Enough At Last, The Lonley, The Invaders, Steel

[@RKnights]

We are happy to hear that you are spending some time with us. Thanks for subbing :-)

[@mrkelso]

What's the full name of the one about Willoughby?

[@TTM9691]

@@mrkelso "A Stop At Willoughby".

[@davide123]

I recommend "Nick of Time" and "It's a Good Life."

[@brandonflorida1092]

My favorite "Twilight Zone" of all time is "Walking Distance." To me, it's the kind of story that once you see it, it will be part of you forever.

[@GoldTopSlinger]

That and A Stop At Willoughby are my top two. So clearly I'm a sentimental fool.

[@brandonflorida1092]

@@GoldTopSlinger Yes, I like "A Stop at Willoughby" too.

[@garyclarke9685]

Yes walking distance was brilliant because of the storytelling & emotion & is in my top ten

[@heromaniacz]

I always associate the creature with the old war stories of Gremlins that would damage early airplanes. Also, I really think you would enjoy the banter in the Thin Man movies... They are the detective genre but the leads have AWESOME chemistry and the stories are wonderful. And oh the alcohol... clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWrGn4ybe6uYeZY

When I was a young boy I would fly alone to spend summers with my grandparents. On every trip the stewardess would take me to the cockpit to meet the Captain. I watched for a minute or two then he pinned a pair of plastic American Airline wings on me and told me I was part of the club. At the end of the flight, a stewardess would take my hand (let me tell you they were beautiful women back in the day.) and walk me across the tarmac to my grandparents. All the advancements in the world pale by comparison to those memories.

[@LA_HA]

My grandparents used to tell us about taking flights and they said it was an event. That's why people dressed up, were on their best behavior, and service was top notch. On the other hand, people behaved and dressed well whenever they were in public. People now call it fake. I call it being social and caring about others, and I really think we really should get back to that mindset

[@johnwriter8234]

Wow!!! ..I saw the ORIGINAL broadcast when I was a kid about 4 years old .. ( Freaks me out even today!!)

[@Mark-xx3gh]

This episode was redone for the Twilight Zone movie in 1983. John Lithgow played the Shatner’s character in that. Lithgow also played the main character in “3rd Rock from the Sun”, and Shatner played his boss, the “Big Giant Head” in an episode. They referenced the fact that both of them saw a man on the wing of an airplane.

[@House0fHoot]

Twilight Zone had some very good sf writers, love it! Lol to “Florida man!” ✈️

[@christopherleodaniels7203]

Excellent!! Your reactions to Bill Shatner were the best thing on the internet. lol. Definitely do The Twilight Zone. “To Serve Man” “Time Enough At Last” “The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street” “Midnight Sun” “People Are Alike All Over”. Seriously, there are too many good ones.

[@johnwriter8234]

"Khhaaan! .. Khaaaaan!!"

[@Straydogger]

“The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street” Love it!! And another Shatner one. "Nick Of Time".

[@sarahfullerton6894]

Another Twilight Zone episode starring William Shatner was "Nick of Time".

[@RKnights]

We will be doing more soon and this is on the list

[@bengilbert7655]

Rod Serling also had a series in the 70s called Night Gallery. Other good anthology series from the 60s that you might want to consider: Alfred Hitchcock Presents Boris Karloff's Thriller

[@jimmiegiboney2473]

Mark 12:05? "A fear of planes"?! When asked about a fear of flying, they usually mean, "crashing". But a fear of airplanes? That's a new one to me! I love them! 🚁🛩️✈️🚀🛸🛫🛬

[@jamesbobo]

Being born in 1950, I watched this when it first aired. As a young teen, this was pretty terrifying.

[@vincegamer]

What was going on in the 50s? Huge number of WWII vets, having seen horrible things people do, and for the first time we have nuclear weapons and Russia, our WWII ally is now our great enemy. People were scared of reality. Putting your fear into something less real is comforting.

[@principals16842]

In 1973, William Shatner's career was in a serious lull after Star Trek. He starred in a film called "The Horror at 37,000 Feet" in which he played a priest who has lost his faith but has to face an unspeakable evil on a plane. The title is pretty similar to this episode -- maybe that's why they hired Shatner? You might enjoy seeing him in a super cheesy film, Mystery Science Theater 3000-style; the film's up on KZbin. There's an ensemble cast of well-known actors from the time (Russell Johnson who was the Professor from Gilligan's Island, Buddy Ebsen who was both Jed Clampett from The Beverly Hillbillies and milk-drinking detective Barnaby Jones, Paul Winfield who was in The Terminator and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and lantern-jawed Chuck Connors who was in The Rifleman). I can't wait for your reactions to more Twilight Zone episodes like I Shot an Arrow Into the Air, A Penny for Your Thoughts, Shadow Play, Time Enough at Last, Kick the Can, and Printer's Devil. Oh, and my favorite episode of all, which never fails to make me cry (good tears, though), The Changing of the Guard, starring Donald Pleasence, who was in The Great Escape, Halloween, You Only Live Twice, and so many other great films.

[@jathygamer8746]

Let's hope it stays up this time!

[@RKnights]

Crossing my fingers. This is one of my favorite reactions that we did.

[@ChaseSanity]

Glad you guys are continuing with Twilight Zone reactions!

[@sarahfullerton6894]

There's also Twilight Zone episode with with Leonard Nimoy. And William Shatner was also in "The Outer Limits"!

[@johnwriter8234]

( he should have screamed): "KHAAAAAAAN !!!"

[@lillymsf5946]

Lol this one Twilight zone episode is iconic because of Shatner's appearance, my brother and i constantly do Jim Carey's impression of him in Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls when he's on a plane and pulling the shade back and forth. Every trip we go on we're just like ".... THERES-... someoneonthewinggggg.... Some.... THING!" XD

[@bumpasaurus487]

Captain Kirk was in a lot of these anthology series before Star Trek. Like In Hitchcock presents. He’s actually in one of the best Hitchcock presents episodes, you guys should absolutely do a reaction for it. It’s called “the glass eye”, and I believe it’s one of 2 episodes that got an Emmy from “Hitchcock presents”. Shatner was also in a few other anthology series from late 50s early 60s, like in “outer limits” and “thriller”. He has another twilight zone episode too called “Nick of time”.

[@C-Russ]

Excited for this! Love this show! God bless you gentlemen! Hope you’re well!

[@RKnights]

This is one of my favorites. God Bless you too bud :-)

[@gallendugall8913]

Best Twilight Zone episode "The Obsolete Man" it's about cancel culture which was also a problem in the '50s.

[@jeffborowiak9398]

On 3rd rock from the Sun William Shatner and John Lithgow meet and they reference this episodes.

[@ranger-1214]

I love you guys reacting to old shows and movies, etc.; not just the stories but the things around them that were the norm back in the day. Back in the early days, smoking was allowed on board, then later changed to the first several rows of each cabin. There was no separation, so the smoke went everywhere anyway. And there were ashtrays in the armrests. The stewardesses (again, before "flight attendant" became vogue) brought around trays with cigarettes and matches on them and offered them like they do today with the peanuts and drinks! Some airlines even had their own brand with their logo. I worked in the Middle East in the 90's and it seemed everyone smoked on those intra-country flights even then. Pistols? There's no TSA or Air Marshals; people might have a pistol on them, or in a briefcase, etc. Or a bomb (or say they have a bomb) look up DB Cooper high jacking. Some airlines didn't even have a door on the cockpit, but just a heavy curtain. If you had young kids (like me in the 50's), you might even get to go up to the flight deck to look around and the pilots show you the instruments, etc. I did several times. I too would like to see "The Howling Man" and "To Serve Man" reviewed, as well as "The Hunt." You would enjoy both of those. Thanks again for the raction!

[@shallowgal462]

This episode was remade with John Lithgow as a segment of Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983), and then Shatner and Lithgow both referenced it in a scene during Shatner's first recurring appearance on 3rd Rock from the Sun. It was hilarious! "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" first aired in October, 1963. I recommend the 1954 sci-fi thriller "Them!" which terrified me as a child. I also recommend the following TZ episodes: The Shelter, It's a Good Life, Time Enough at Last, The Invaders (starring Agnes Moorehead from Bewitched), Eye of the Beholder, The Midnight Sun, Five Characters in Search of an Exit, Little Girl Lost, A Game of Pool (starring Jack Klugman from 12 Angry Men and Jonathan Winters), Nothing in the Dark (starring Robert Redford), Nick of Time (starring William Shatner), Shadow Play (starring Dennis Weaver of Steven Spielberg's Duel), The After Hours, Walking Distance, The Obsolete Man (starring Burgess Meredith), and Two (starring Charles Bronson of Death Wish and Elizabeth Montgomery from Bewitched). 3 other great episodes are: A Quality of Mercy (starring Leonard Nimoy, and Dean Stockwell from Quantum Leap), The Encounter (starring George Takei), and Valley of the Shadow (starring James Doohan).

[@RKnights]

Ive heard. I need to see it

[@arrow1414]

As a point of fact modern jetliners fly at 36,000 feet, in part to fly above the weather.

[@johnwriter8234]

(Re: " Everybody 'Gatherr-Up', Watch The Show") .. as a " Child Of The 60s" .. that is EXACTLY how it was back then..no NETFLIX, no KZbin, no Streaming Services to "PAUSE- N- BINGE" .. ( I had 9 siblings, we had to watch in "Real-Time" ... you "nailed" what it was like, back-in-the-day)

[@TTM9691]

PS: Fantastic post-show discussion as well! Super psyched to see what else you have on your channel! I just accidentally stumbled on to this video!

[@RKnights]

Hope you enjoy what we have and what is still coming

[@TTM9691]

@@RKnights Dude, you did ON THE WATERFRONT?!!!! You wisely did Space Seed and Star Trek II, bypassing the lousy first movie altogether! You did Forbidden Planet?!!! I've got like ten tabs open, all with your videos! I know what I'm going to be doing over the next few days!!!! 😆

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

Air travel was way less safe back then, so this must have resonated like crazy. Planes fell out of the sky on a pretty regular basis for arcane reasons that took ages to figure out, so the idea of a "gremlin" wreaking havoc on a wing would be truly nightmarish.

[@jimmiegiboney2473]

Mark 10:38. "Broke his back"?! That's news to me! 🤯

[@empirejeff]

Captain Kirk is in another episode.

[@jimmiegiboney2473]

Thumb Up #51! 👍. Thanks for the fun, digital video recording! 🎬. ✌️😎🖖 Note: Now that you've seen him in this episode, now you know why people wanted to see you react to a role of his, pre-"Star Trek"! 🖖 His first series after, "Star Trek", is "Barbary Coast". "NBC", had success with, "The Wild Wild West". "ABC", hoped for success too with their, spy series set in an, Old West, environment. Afterwards, he is titlular character in, "TJ Hooker", as a police sargent. Then he is the host of, "Rescue 9-1-1". 👍

[@cflournoy1529]

For background watch ... Bugs Bunny vs the Gremlin. Would have taken one shot with a phaser ;-)

[@jimmiegiboney2473]

Mark 13:34. Well, not a "window" per se, but an, "Emergency Exit"! Post 9/11, they ask people questions before giving them the responsibility of sitting near one. Your duty, is to help others safely exit, before you exit last, at your station. They don't want scared people with claustrophobia to sit near them! 👍

[@shag139]

Twilight Zone the Movie is very good as well. They re-do this one with John Lithgow. Also Stephen King’s Cat’s Eye is another good one in a similar vein.

[@connoranastasio]

Straight up. This is THE fucking show lol. Every single show ever made after the twilight zone was influenced by it, and that is actually not an exaggeration. I don’t think there’s a director alive that hasn’t watched this whole show through front to back. The fact that y’all got spooked, even once, by a show that aired before your parents were even born speaks volumes lmao. Always have to put respect on the greats and this is the Mac Daddy of them all.

[@rayvanhorn1534]

Hey guys, just found your channel (through the review of "Band of Brothers"...which was great) & you have found a gem in "The Twilight Zone". So many fantastic episodes; Time Enough at Last, Third From the Sun, Eye of the Beholder, The Invaders, The Obsolete Man, To Serve Man, The Little People, Number 12 Looks Just Like You, The Arrival, The Gift & No Time Like the Past are my absolute favorites. If you guys get the chance, definitely check these out, would be interested to see all of your reactions. Great job ,look forward to seeing more.

Hey great reaction guys especially when you saw james t kirk. Just 2 things you mentioned smoking why so shocked passengers were smoking in the early 90's on planes. Also what made you think he broke his back. Think your wring about that. Definitely a top ten for me this one
