Ep:14 The Twilight Zone (Perry and Firestick)

Published: July 9, 2020, 1 a.m.

Check out our website What Are Travis and Elaine Watching for pix, videos and links to what we talked about this week.

Our July 4th weekend was all BBQ and Binge.\xa0 We watched the entire second season of The Twilight Zone on CBS All Access . We think S2 is even better than S1, but of course not as good as TZTOS. We break it down episode by episode (no major spoilers.) Use the link above to get a free trial.\xa0 Keep in mind, they have Picard too!!
Season 2 boasts a stellar cast, a wealth of cameos and some really scary/funny moments. Hit us up on social media and let us know your favorites.
Of course Sunday is for Perry.
We're into episode 3, and Perry just keeps getting better! Matthew Rhys and the entire supporting cast had us on the edge of our reclining seats this week. Special shout outs go to John Lithgow whose character, E.B. Jonathan is starting show cracks around the edges when he goes up against Stephen Root's formidable Maynard Barnes and Chris Chalk as Paul Drake. We are beginning to see Perry and Paul align, as we knew they would.

Special nod AGAIN to Tatiana Maslany. Sister Alice is shaping up to be a significant character who is surrounded by clues and mystery. We are so impressed, we threw together a little Shorty about Maslany, which we'll drop later in the week.\xa0
Fans of the old Perry Mason show speak up, and a lot of it ain't pretty.

Elaine has been joining online Perry Mason fan groups and many old faithful aren't happy. Did HBO make a mistake in some of it marketing?

You asked. We answered.

We cut the cord 5+ years ago. Early on, when we still had cable, we were using Roku, which is also a great product because several of the shows we worked were streaming there. But, like most of you, we have an Amazon account, and Firestick works seamlessly with Amazon. It links your Prime Video and even allows you to ask Alexa to play any movie or TV show by simply using your voice when you lose your remote control! There are lots of other reasons we prefer Firestick. If there's anything we didn't cover in this episode, reach out of social media, and we'll talk about it next time.

Thanks as always to Johnny Stromboli.
We\u2019ll be dropping more Shorties soon!
