Travis went to see Louis Theroux
Travis is looking forward to seeing Tool in a few weeks time.
Travis went to see Cats… not the god-awful movie, but a quality stage version.

George and Travis then rapid-fire through some thoughts on Chris Nolan’s next movie, Tenet, The Lighthouse, and George’s thoughts on Men In Black International.
Crazy, Dungeons and Dragons session...
I started recording this about halfway through the 3rd session. Sorry for the terrible audio quality, but the session was going in a manic, wonderful, disastrous way and I wanted to record it for posterity’s sake.
Going forward the audio should be better and it will be the full session.

Episode 53: The Return of Random
Starting off the show, we talk about AEW and Indie wrestling. Travis then discusses the new BBC show, Years and Years, as well as the new Rick and Morty. Then we tangent off to South Park and the potential staying power of Rick and Morty for years to come.
Next up, we have a conversation about the new Netflix Stephen King movie, The Tall Grass, Doctor Sleep, and the documentary Room 237. We both come to the conclusion that — when it comes to Stephen King — we’ve been stung too many times to watch movies based on his work at the cinema.
Then we have a very brief, and off-the-cuff “movies of 2019” review and find ourselves rather unimpressed. Nothing particularly bad, but no real stand-out… Lots of big-budget franchise sequels that were rather uninspired.
Lastly, George talks quickly about Luigi’s Mansion 3 and the Amazon Prime series, Jack Ryan. He likes them both immensely.
Episode 52: Let's Talk About Joker
This week we return after Travis' US trip. We talk about Joker, Travis has finally played Breath of the Wild, George has been playing The Witcher 3, and they ramble as only they can.
Episode 51.5: The episode I thought I had deleted
Yay! Thanks to my terrible organisation, I was actually able to find the episode I thought I deleted!
Episode 51: The retro episode where we talk about old stuff
This week Travis and George spend far too much time talking about older stuff... older games, older shows, older movies...
Episode 50: Plenty of Time Talking About Nothing
This week, Travis talks about The Spy with Sacha Baron Cohen on Netflix, Utopia, and playing Lord of the Rings: Shadow of War.
Meanwhile George has jumped into The Big Bang Theory on Netflix, he continues with book 4 of The Wheel of Time series, and SNES games come to Switch.

Episode 48: Two Grumpy Middle-Aged Men
Greetings and Salutations!
This week, George watched the Netflix special, Invader Zim: Enter The Florpus; he finally watched Spider-Man: Into The Spider-verse on Amazon Prime Video, and has ventured further into The Wheel of Time Saga care of Audible.
Meanwhile Travis watched Season 2 of the Netflix show, Mindhunter, and the Dirty Harry movie, The Dead Pool.
We also talk about Disney+ officially coming to Australia, the future of Spider-man and the MCU, and The Matrix 4.
Episode 47: GLOW dims slightly, and Wu Assassins mildly satisfies
Hey folks,
This week Travis and George didn’t have a huge amount of time to watch things, but they still cobbled together a show for ya!
Travis spoiled himself by getting a wire-free Oculus Rift. He also dove back into the world of Far Cry 5 — or more specifically the Vietnam expansion missions.
Next he watched Season 3 of Glow on Netflix. While it started well, he felt it lost a little gusto towards the end.
Then Travis (and George slightly) talk about the new album from Slipnot; We Are Not Your Kind. It’s good so far. It’s different, but good.
George then confesses his love of Meat Loaf and he re-listened to Bat out of Hell: Back Into Hell. He also consumed the Netflix special, Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling, and Wu Assassins. Both shows kinda underwhelmed, but would probably be enjoyed in some fashion.
Episode 46: The Boys, '70's Movies, and NOS4A2
This week Travis went down memory lane, visiting 1970's cinema-land and (in particular) San Francisco. He watched Dirty Harry, and Bullit.
Both Trav, and George smashed through Season 1 of The Boys. While Travis really enjoyed it, George found that it was missing emotional gut-punching to pair with the more visceral imagery.
George also binged NOS4A2, a supernatural, horror series featuring Zachary Quinto as the near-titular sucker. He's not your usual vampire, and the heroes of this series are an interesting bunch. A fever-dream of a story that's hard to explain.
Lastly, George listened to the new album from the Melbourne-base group, The Taskey Brothers: Run Home Slow.
Episode 45: Finally watching things again!
After a few weeks of house moving, and finishing a book, Travis and George actually had some time to watch some things.
George has binge-watched Season 1 of Another Life on Netflix, he re-watched Alita Battle Angel (now available on physical and digital release), and Hellboy (2019).
Meanwhile, Travis has met someone. . . or rather he's met a few someones. . . he's met The Boys (on Amazon Prime), and he's in love.
He's also discovered enjoyment in a series called Shtisel, a series from Israel.
Sadly there was a screw-up with the recording via Zoom this week and we lost the last third of the show.
Hopefully we will be able to find it somehow.
Episode 44: Zooming It!
This week Travis does most of the talking as George has been deep into finishing my book.
It’s also the first time we’ve done a remote show since G&T Podcast. . . so quiet a while!
Episode 43: Spider-Man: Far From Home Spoilercast
In this new episode Travis and George talk through their thoughts of the latest Spider-Man movie, lament not having more of Jake Gyllenhaal. George talks a little about the new season of Stranger Things on Netflix, as well as two audiobooks, Too Like The Lightning by Ada Palmer, and The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.
Elsewhere, Travis continues to morph into an alternate reality version of himself as he has found yet another musical he enjoyed, Come from Away. He also lambasts the trailers for the new Jumanji movie, Hobbs and Shaw, and The Lion King.
Episode 42: Is Travis being that which he so hates?
This week, Travis reviews Toy Story 4, I am Mother on Netflix and the first few hours of The Last of Us on PS4 . . . he remains woefully m’eh! Meanwhile George started watching Hanna on Amazon Prime and is finding its pacing chances from the movie tough to digest.
Episode 41 for real this time: Black Mirror Season 5, recapping thoughts on Good Omens and Godzilla
Returning to the normal format, Travis gives his thoughts on Season 5 of Black Mirror and George tried to work out how he felt about the final season of Jessica Jones
Episode 41 ish: Good Omens and the King of Monsters
This week George put a lot of effort into watching something that wasn’t 10, 15 or 20 years old. He watched Good Omens on Amazon Prime and checked out Godzilla 2 at the cinema.
