Just Beneath the Surface (Episode 18 - Controversial Episodes)


A Japanese man in the 1960s era grabbing a Samurai sword and vowing to kill an American man? Then, the two men talk, their dialogue loaded with ethnic issues ... Do they come to understand each other? But wait, one is revealed as a traitor to his country's cause in WWII.  Plus, there's the fact that the Japanese man was portrayed by a legendary "Star Trek" actor who has spoken about a childhood in interment camps. It's an episode of classic "Twilight Zone" considered controversial, and it was actually banned from airing for decades. Brian and Bruce take on this episode as well as a couple others of Rod Serling's groundbreaking classic TV series regarded as controversial.
