The Outer Limits: "Controlled Experiment"
There is nothing wrong with your podcast app. We are controlling transmission. It's another Gimmicks historical deep dive as we explore TV's very first bottle episode--a term coined by Outer Limits creator Leslie Stevens! We dig into what "bottle episode" actually means and how this installment of the sci-fi anthology series used cleverness and camera tricks to produce a quick and cheap but still compelling and funny episode about Martians (The Fugitive's Barry Morse and Archie Bunker himself, Carroll O'Connor) who try to scientifically determine why humans commit murder.
