S2E15 – The Invaders – Twilight Zone

The Invaders

This week I discuss perhaps one of my all time favorite episodes, The Invaders, with the wonderfully enjoyable Jude Shelton!

I was introduced to Jude through a certain Ms. Carrie Poppy (of Oh No, It’s Ross and Carrie). We had a great time talking about this Agnes Moorehead classic. If you want to find more out about Jude, her work and her stand-up comedy courses, head to her website. You can also follow her on Twitter. Like so many of my guests, she is a bright personality and great presence.
