Special Guests: Tom Holland, Aristotelis MaragkosGuest Co-Hosts: Joe Maddrey, Marta Djordjevic
Mike is joined by Marta Djordjevic and Joe Maddrey for a discussion of the 1995 miniseries The Langoliers. Adapted from the Stephen King novella and directed by Tom Holland, the production follows a group of passengers on a redeye flight from Los Angeles to Boston who awaken to find most of the plane’s occupants gone and reality behaving in unfamiliar ways. The episode examines the story’s structure, the performances by David Morse, Bronson Pinchot, and the ensemble cast, and the miniseries’ place within 1990s television.
The conversation also includes interviews with writer-director Tom Holland and Aristotelis Maragkos, whose film The Timekeepers of Eternity reconstructs The Langoliers into a monochrome, collage-style reinterpretation. They discuss the original production, the process behind Maragkos’s adaptation, and how the two works speak to each other across different formats and eras.
The discussion includes talk of The Twilight Zone's "The Odyssey of Flight 33", The Outer Limits The Premonition, and more.
