In this episode, Phoenix talks about how this is a classic TZ story, he gives a tip to a NASA chart guy, talks about how Corey should be a horror villain icon, how the story twist actually makes zero sense if you think about it and then how he himself became addicted to water just like Corey.
248 - LIW The Twilight Zone Review - 14 - Third From The Sun (TZ 114)
In this episode Phoenix talks about the obvious ending that he didn't guess until 24 minutes in. Then he slowly realizes it wasn't so obvious until you see the telephone. He also talks about how 1960's code talking sounds like gay innuendo and how all of the females in this episode just couldn't handle the pressure of knowledge. They sure couldn't write female characters back then. Or now, for the most part. This episode has a twist ending. A twist ending that they had to state and then overstate slowly for the dumb-dumb audiences back then. Phoenix also learns the importance of rewinding technology because without it he would have thought the main character was a pedophile. Not that the girl being his daughter rules him out for being a pedophile but it helps in some ways.
247 - LIW The Twilight Zone Review - 13 - The Four Of Us Are Dying (TZ 113)
In this episode, Phoenix talks about how shape shifting can be the creepiest power ever. He also talks about the amount of neon signs outside of Hotel Real and the price of $3.80 back in 1960 compared to nowadays. This is a fast talking episode in which Phoenix can't figure out how a man broke an old timey television with a beer bottle. Impossible.
246 - LIW The Twilight Zone Review - 12 - What You Need (TZ 112)
In this episode Phoenix swears more than he ever has on an episode. He also talks about the worst salesman in history. He doesn't even charge for his products which actually makes him not a salesman. Also, the bartender in this episode is a real dick. But not as big of a dick as Fred, that piece of shit asshole that nobody likes. Rod said it, not me. Phoenix also talks about how grossed out he is by the greasy hair of the man at the end. Do you also think greasy hair is gross? Send us a message at loiteringinwonderland@gmail.com
245 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 52 - Fear The Walking Dead - 205 - Captive
In this episode, Phoenix has to deal with yet another episode on a boat. But this time there's a twist! It's set on 3 different boats! Even when they are on land it's a boat on land. I shit you not. He also talks about how Alicia is finally becoming a decent character and how Chris needs to be put down (killed). Daniel is coming undone? Already? The only great character. Phoenix also asks his female listeners to send him an email at loiteringinwonderland@gmail.com and let him know what they think about the poor writing of female characters on this show. Seriously, he needs your opinions.
244 - TINM! - 60 - "Your Prize Is A Face Full Of Glass."
Phoenix talks about his 6 month YouTube ban being over and how he celebrated by releasing a 25 minute long WWE commentary track for some reason. It also duel purposed as the soft launch for Shitty Movie Showdown!: the next show from Loitering In Wonderland Studios.
He also talks about officially being on IMDb and how much it excites him. Filing for an LLC. And how he found out something about himself after a home invasion: that he COULD murder someone with a hammer if push came to shove. He also talks about a weird moment shooting American't 5: Traffic when a microphone looked like a gun. Fun stuff!
243 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 51 - Fear The Walking Dead - 204 - Blood In The Streets
In this episode, Phoenix talks about how in all 4 episodes this season, a character or characters went to dry land while other stayed on the boat, had an experience that didn't matter on the land and then at the end of the episode came back to the boat. Well THIS episode threw a wrench in that because the experience on land wasn't an island and the side plot actually matters. Know what the worst gunman in the world is? An annoying 8 month pregnant woman. This episode wasn't bad, it was just kind of boring and that's the worst thing you can be.
242 - LIW+ - 1 - Phoenix West Worst Commentator For Hire - 1 - WWE SmackDown (Uncut)
To celebrate my YouTube ban being up, I recorded a 25 minute WWE Battle Royal commentary track. I haven't watched any wrestling since 1991 so of course my commentary is spot on.....
Who will win? Elderly Leprechaun? The Red Hot Chili Peppers? Ice T looking guy? Quentin Tarantino as a vampire from From Dusk Till Dawn with a large stick up his ass.

241 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 50 - Fear The Walking Dead - 203 - Ouroboros
Holy shit I've done 50 of these. In this episode I talked about the title not really applying here, how 2 episodes in a row consisted of half the crew going to an island for the episode and then coming back to the boat at the end without much being accomplished, my wishes for possible show structure, my wishes for Chris' character, how the holy fuck that zombie got halfway in the sand and eaten by crabs and then I talked about the badass scene with Nick in a bloody pilot outfit.
239 - LIW The Twilight Zone Review - 11 - And When The Sky Was Opened (TZ 111)
In this episode, Phoenix falls in love all over again. This TZ episode is the most TZ episode ever. It has almost every single great TZ trope. Phoenix talks about this episode with such passion. He talks about how he hates the desperation / pretend disgust in the woman at the bar. He talks about how full of shit the ending of the episode was because it didn't make sense. Do you guys actually read these descriptions? If you do send an email to loiteringinwonderland@gmail.com that just contains the following text, "Roid-rage Kool-Aid Man." Listen to the episode to understand the reference.
238 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 49 - Fear The Walking Dead - 202 - We All Fall Down
In this episode, Phoenix talks about how they kind of got off the boat for an episode. It still counts toward the 4 episode buffer zone he's giving this show to get off the goddamn boat. In this FTWD episode, our group joins Jonestown Steve Jobs and his family on an island which seems perfect but nobody seems to like except George. I don't know what they think is better thank this island. It's secluded, Surrounded by water which is the slowest way a zombie can travel, it can grow food, it has a great house on a hilltop, it's not on the east coast so that means it won't snow, it's literally perfect except George's plans. Kill George and take over. What is Victor up to? I hope the show gets to it before I stop caring. Enjoy!
237 - TINM! - 59 - "Voting For Trump? Take A Couple Shots Of Drano Beforehand..."
Sorry for the break. Phoenix was busy starting up the video show, American't but he's finally back to talk about aging in the punk scene at a NOFX show, trying to vote in the primaries in Arizona, how you shouldn't vote for Trump and some other shit as well. Enjoy.
Check out the awesome 15 minute comedy video show American't. Share with your people.
235 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 47 - The Walking Dead - Season 7 Predictions
In this episode, Phoenix lays out what he thinks will happen in season 7. Originally he planned to do that at the end of episode 46 but he was sick and out of it. Deal with it. Instead he recorded this 10 minute rant about what is coming our way in season 7 of TWD. He also touches on how FTWD needs to prove itself with season 2.
236 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 48 - Fear The Walking Dead - 201 - Monsters
Season 2 of this show is where it can really turn great or shitty. Season 1 pretty much wrote itself so let's see something unexpected. Also, stop making all of your characters suck. Learn to write female characters. Stop being on a boat. Side note, decent show.
234 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 46 - The Walking Dead - 616 - Last Day On Earth
In this episode, Phoenix talks about Negan and his 10 minute speech before beating someone... just someone. That's how they chose to end a season. Just a black screen with crunching sounds. He forgets to mention how he thinks next season will go so we will mention it now: first half of season 7 is working with Negan and plotting against him and the second half will be overthrowing him. That is about it for season 7. See you guys for season 8!
233 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 45 - The Walking Dead - 615 - East
In this episode, Phoenix is confused by the weird timeline of tracking Carol. It's not a major plot line but it was confusing nonetheless. He also talks about how Daryl is only important because of the fans and that might not be the best thing.
240 - American't 5 - Traffic
In this episode, Phoenix West covers the well worn topic of traffic. What is behind it? Why is it here? Aliens? Possibly. He certainly couldn't rule out the possibility without asking it directly. This episode gets really fucking weird so strap in/on and watch this with friends. Share this video or leave the cuntry.
232 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 44 - The Walking Dead - 614 - Twice As Far
In this episode Phoenix breaks down the pointless character Denise and how she managed to stay fat despite constant food rationing and lack of sugary foods. He also discusses Carol and her ping-pong feelings toward the group in general. This was a good episode. Listen or die. Or both. Who cares.
231 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 43 - The Walking Dead - 613 - The Same Boat
In this episode, Phoenix predicted a boring bottle episode but what he got was an interesting bottle episode. This one is to save money. Don't fool yourself. Luckily for us, they made a good one out of it. An annoying redhead, a medieval monster, Michelle Rodriguez and a bullet magnet kidnap Carol and Maggie for a battle of annoying voices. Who will win? Probably our main characters. Just a guess. And a fact. Enjoy.
229 - LIW The Walking Dead Review - 41 - The Walking Dead - 611 - Knots Untie
In this episode, Phoenix has a raspy voice and talks into a lapel microphone because a friend is borrowing the sound mixer for an NBA podcast. He talks about the great casting on Gregory, why the group loves to abandon Alexandria without anyone to defend it, how the power situation is confusing in the Hilltop, how he forgot Greggory was a creepy dude, the continuing letdown of the Maggie-Glenn reunion.
