What Are Travis and Elaine Watching?

We're watching her right now in The Sea Wolf with Edward G. Robinson & John Garfield. She had an amazing career... actress, writer, director, producer. This one is well worth taking a listen to again 🙂

Here's an actor we've been following since he appeared in 2 seasons of "Breaking Bad" back in 2012, where he played the idiotic killer, Todd. In the 2015 season of "Fargo", he played simpleton butcher Ed Blumquist, husband of Kirsten Dunst. 2019 had him as one of De Niro's crew in "The Irishman", & now he's playing an FBI agent in "Judas & The Black Messiah". He never gives a bad performance, so just kind of keep an eye open on him 👍

I'm very excited! I LOVED reading that "Fantasy Island" is rebooting, but even more, I LOVED "The Love Boat", & liked the theme song so much I still hum it once in awhile... "Lovvvve, exciting & new. Come aboard, we've been waiting for you. The Lovvve Boat soon will be making another run..." Screw that punk rock s**t I usually listen to. This is what you call fu***ng entertainment.

To cast your vote for our Academy Awards poll, take 2 minutes to join our group chat, go to "Post Topics" on the left sidebar & choose Oscars 2021 and your poll ballots will come up. Elaine put together a great poll for the Golden Globes, & this one should be just as good :) I'm being applauded for my choices & upcoming wins. https://gph.is/g/4Lmx9GR

Since we didn't do a show this week, take another listen to the 2 podcasts where we talked a lot about Chris Meloni on the first one, then more with Chris Meloni & the excellent show, Oz, where he was a major player.

S3E7 Chris Meloni-Made For Love-The One - What Are Travis and Elaine Watching? Everybody’s Talkin’ … About Christopher Meloni this week so who are we not to jump on the bandwagon? But we have a few more recommendations […]

One of the really great performances on OZ is by Kathryn Erbe. Sure, she went on to do one of those L& Order things, but in Oz she plays Shirley Bellinger, who is very cute & very homicidal.

Tom Fontana, creator of Oz, wrote or co-wrote all 56 episodes of the show, & over 19 actors/ actresses were in well over 40 of the episodes. On top of that, a bunch of celebrities who loved the show would show up for an episode or two over the 6 season run. Great writing, great acting, great show! Take a listen to the podcast & hear us talk about lots of other reasons you should be watching this one!

Not a big fan of the series, but I liked Michael Keaton best :)

Michael Keaton confirmed to return as Batman in 'The Flash' movie Michael Keaton will reprise his role as Batman next to Ezra Miller in 'The Flash' movie.

They'd show it in the middle of the night, all day, weekends. It was pretty much being shown somewhere in the world at almost any time. Many showed it on their free TV. Countries that went crazy for OZ!... Australia, Brazil, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Britain, Bosnia. In Herzegovina, it was shown on the federal TV station called FTV. Croatia, Estonia, and Slovenia. There's more! These countries knew how solid this series was.

Here's one worth binging... When we talked about Chris Meloni on the show a couple weeks ago, we brought up OZ, and how great a show it was. And upon another watching... it's almost even better! Really, this is such a good show. The cast (unreal!) & the guests (tons!) are top notch! You'll love it!

In interviews today he's saying how difficult & life-changing it's been for him to come out, but no mention of how difficult it's been for him in taking a sweet Netflix deal on the same day.

We have 2 love-in-the-not-so-distant future series for you on the podcast right now, with Made For Love with Cristin Milioti, & The One with Hannah Ware. Then with the new Law & Order: Organized Crime premiering, we spend time talking about Chris Meloni, who as it turns out is an interesting actor with way more going on than just those 270+ episodes of Law & Order SVU!

I'm interested in hearing your choice about... The original Cape Fear from 1962 with Robert Mitchum, or the '91 De Niro remake? I like both these actors, but I think Mitchum was way creepier & dangerous in the laconic way he plays Max Cady.

Both Made For Love, with Cristin Milioti, and The One, featuring Hannah Ware, are 2 new series we recommend about love gone very, very wrong. Take listen to the show this week & hear how dating in the near future might not work out the way you hoped :)

Making good movie trailers really are an art. The worse are the ones that show so much of the flick, usually the best parts, that it's a why-bother to see it now. Now granted, Alien has become 1 of my favorite sci-fi flicks, but even if it weren't, I'd applaud the trailer because "In space no one can hear you scream". https://youtu.be/jQ5lPt9edzQ

Hard is a good comedy-drama, with 6 episodes from Brazil that we're talking about on this week's show. When a woman's husband dies in a household accident, his wife is left with a business she most definitely didn't expect!

Waffles & Mochi is such a fun show for both kids & adults, that it's one for the whole family to watch together! Hosted by Michelle Obama (Mrs. O as they call her) it's a great series to teach kids about healthy eating, without being heavy handed. And Mochi, my fave, is adorable!
