The Rabbit Hole Look Back
In the first episode of Hulu’s 11.22.63 entitled “The Rabbit Hole”, we meet our hero Jake Epping as he is listening to one of his GED students Essays. Harry Dunning is sharing with the class how his father murdered his family on Halloween night in 1960. This will not be the first change nor the last that book lovers will come to see as the this new 8 part mini series kicked off with a bang.
Broken into almost two separate episodes we find Jake Epping aka James Amberson, becoming familiar with the past and exploring the town of Lisbon Falls Maine. The changes pick up quickly as Jake moves on to Dallas to being his surveillance of George de Mohrenschildt. George, thought by Jake’s friend Al Templeton to be the man who set up Oswald, secretly meets with the CIA and a greater coverup may be underway in this story to save John F Kennedy’s life.
Join us as we discuss where you can find some insane pie, tasty corn on the cob, and drive the mile a minute highway in some of the coolest convertibles you have ever seen in a 1960s recreation. Don’t spill your milk in excitement because remember the past pushes back and life turns on a dime.

Hey Troy and Wayne,
Just a quick insight about something I think you missed in the podcast ALB05 – S1E1 – 11.22.63 The Rabbit Hole. Regarding your comments about the sequence when Jake runs into the nun and group of girls and how weird it was. Well, pay particular attention to what Jake says at the beginning when they run into each other. His exclamation would be offensive to the nun and girls, especially back in the 60s. I didn’t find it was weird at all, except I think the acting was a bit forced, even Jake’s exclamation seemed like he was saying it just to offend them. Watch it with that perspective and it should make more sense.
Now that you say that Bill that makes total sense. It is weird trying to watch this with the perspective of how would people react to situations and comments because it is 1960 not the 21st century. Thanks for pointing that out and will bring it up on next week’s show. If you see anything else like that as we go along, please share and keep the insights coming. Thanks for traveling down the rabbit hole with us! – Troy
