Dave Wyndorf clearly remembers the moment the pandemic morphed into a surreal dystopian movie. Driving to New York at 8:30 at night during the peak death time of the pandemic … Driving down the streets of Manhattan and there was nothing no traffic, no people, recalls Monster Magnet s leader. It was like, I m Charlton Heston in
The Omega Man!
Living through the COVID-19 crisis, the lockdowns, the civil unrest and the reign of former president Doctor Doofus have all contributed to Wyndorf s recent reflections on the the thin veneer of civilization. There have been two times in my life where I ve seen newspapers and the mainstream media using the word dystopia in the early Seventies, and then this past year, he says. There was the end times of the early Seventies, where the Vietnam War was still going on, nuclear war was still a big threat, and there was civil unrest in a way the country hadn t seen here since the Civil War.

In The Marksman, Liam Neeson plays Jim, a recently widowed Arizona cattle rancher, former Marine and recovering alcoholic whose home (above which flies a large American flag) is about to be foreclosed.
Jim spends his days patrolling his land on the Mexican border in a mud-caked pickup, accompanied by his beloved dog Jackson, his rifle which, true to the title, he really knows how to handle and a walkie-talkie, which he uses to communicate with the B.P. (Border Patrol) about any I.A.s ( illegal aliens ) he might spot. When he comes across a Mexican woman and her young son (Teresa Ruiz and Jacob Perez) fleeing a group of cartel assassins, Jim does what anyone would do.
The Twilight Zone.
This was one of Rod Serling s best Season 1 episodes, adapted from a radio play by Lucille Fletcher. Not only did it introduce Inger Stevens to
TZ fans (she had been working in network television since the mid-1950s) but it placed her in a very relatable situation. Just as
Jaws changed the way we all look at the surf and
Dressed to Kill changed the way we view elevators, The Hitch-Hiker cast a suspicious eye on hitch-hikers and traveling alone.
Stevens was given able support by Leonard Strong, a wonderful character actor who plays the creepy thumb-rider.
