Get your flu shot! We did.

it is more important than ever to get your flu shot. We got ours last week. If you get your shot at CVS Pharmacy in Target, they will give you $5 in store credit at Target.
Fargo
Fargo is back for Season 4. FX dropped the first two episodes on Sunday. This year, the story takes place in 1950 Kansas City. It stars Chris Rock, Jason Schwartzman as the heads of rival Italian American and African American crime families and a stellar supporting cast.
Jessie Buckley
Ben Whishaw
Jack Huston
Glynn Turman
Timothy Olyphant
We go into depth about the supporting cast, with special attention to Salvatore Esposito who we have been huge fans of for years.
Catch it on FX, or Hulu (the day after.)
The Comey Rule
This two-night event is a must-see. It lays out the James Comey (former director of the FBI) and Donald Trump story concisely. You can watch it now in its entirety on Showtime or download the app for your free trial.
Jeff Daniels leads the cast as James Comey, Holly Hunter as Sally Yates, Michael Kelly as Andrew McCabe, and Brendan Gleeson as Donald Trump. We loved Gleeson's performance but thought the makeup department toned it down a little.
Exciting news!

Later this Amazon will be releasing the new Borat movie.... stay tuned!

Shorty: David Cronenberg

Lots of videos and extras on our website, travisandelaine.com

In this Shorty we look at one of our favorite directors, David Cronenberg.
Cronenberg was born in Toronto in 1943. He wrote constantly as a child and had a strong interest in science, botany and lepidopterology, the study of moths, and the 3 superfamilies of butterflies. He first studied in the Honors Science Program and then switched to the Honors Language and Literature program at the University of Toronto, where he developed an interest in film.
After making a couple of shorts and a couple of art house films... in 1975: Shivers
And then in 1977- Rabid
Rabid caused quite a stir given it's lead was XXX actress Marilyn Chambers. The star of the classic of 70's porn Behind the Green Door was already controversial when it came to light that she was the "wholesome" product model for Ivory Snow.

S2:E5 Wentworth/Love After Lockup

Guilty Pleasures: We're off to Prison!

This week the 8th season of the Aussie, soapy, women in prison drama, Wentworth dropped on Netflix and one of our only reality TV indulgences, Love After Lockup / Life After Lockup on WeTV.But first...We have an affiliate deal with Amazon. But, if we don't meet a certain level of engagement, they give us a boot in the ass. We ask you, our listeners, to PLEASE use our links if you are going to shop on Amazon. Costs you nothing means the world to us. We have 90 days to get our numbers up. Next week is Amazon Day: Get ahead of the holidays at deep discounts.
Wentworth

We have been all-in on Wentworth for 8 seasons. We've already seen all of S:8 and if you are a Ferguson fan, you're in for a treat.
If Wentworth is new to you, think OITNB without the snark. Wentworth plays it straight. Wentworth is based on the old "women behind bars" soap opera, Prisoner: Cell Block H, but all it really has in common is the original set-up and some character names.
Love After LockupOur true guilty pleasure is this reality show that centers around romances between men and women and newly released inmate penpals. Given how overly produced (written and manipulated) this show and all of reality TV is, Love After Lockup has a remarkably high amount of hilariousness and some genuine and touching moments.
