Gambler Mature gets tangled up in gangster violence with Bendix, and through some twists and turns gets a sit-down with the INS.

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: while enjoyable, and well-crafted, it seemed to us to lack the humor in earlier movies, and the Missus commented that the characters didn't really seem to interact with each other as in previous installments. There were several slowly tracking-in-to-close-ups of...- Julian Shellhammer

What was the last TV show you watched?
The first three episodes of season one of The Middle. We missed it first time around. Laugh out loud funny. Free on Amazon Prime with a couple of short commercials.- Julian Shellhammer

What Did You Drink Last Night?
To mark the ebb of Friday and the soon arrival of Saturday, the Missus requested a Lemon Drop, but hold the simple syrup. I enjoyed a whiskey sour, with Two Stars bourbon. Put the feet up, dial down the brain, and feel the spring unwind.- Julian Shellhammer

What was the last TV show you watched?
Danger Man, with Patrick McGoohan as NATO agent John Drake, although he appears to be an American, and the capitol dome figures in the opening sequence. Dragnet, from season three, where a figurine of the Christ Child is missing from a church's creche. No spoilers here, but the ending is not...- Julian Shellhammer

What was the last TV show you watched?
Regarding Green Acres and OWD, Missus Shellhammer has commented that Oliver starts out optimistic, naive, and cheerful, but by about one third of the way in to the season, he's become angry, exasperated, and short-fused. Yet, everybody else operates in and accepts the flat-out weirdness of life...- Julian Shellhammer

What Are You Reading
As I always do, the first week in December I read Peter Spier's Christmas, a wordless book that follows a family from Christmas prep though to putting the tree curbside and returning the big cardboard boxes to the attic. It looks like it takes place in a New England town, sort of around the...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Radio Program You Heard?
Not necessarily a radio broadcast, but Ogden Nash reciting two of his works, The Christmas That Almost Wasn't, and An Untold Adventure of Santa Claus. Real good stuff. Do not remember where I downloaded it from, but it's in the Christmas music playlist.- Julian Shellhammer

Still viewing Green Acres, season one, courtesy Amazon Prime. I still grab a Yancey Derringer episode in the occasional spare moment.- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Kicked off the Christmas movie season with the our traditional favorite, Elf. Then, about a week later, Miracle on 34th Street. Even though we have it practically memorized, we still watch it with delight. Completely disconnected from Christmas movies, watched The Asphalt Jungle, recorded off TCM.- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Where Danger Lives (1950) dir. by John Farrow, with Robert Mitchum, Faith Domergue, and Claude Rains. We watched it on the TCM streaming app, but since it was part of TCM's Noir Alley, it included the intro and outro of Eddie Muller interviewing Chris Mitchum, Robert's son. The movie was uneven...- Julian Shellhammer

Completed our read-aloud of The Magnificent Ambersons. It was overlapping slightly with the current read, a biography of Lady Almina, who was the Countess of Carnavon, residing at Highclere Castle, the inspiration for the Downton Abbey television series. Engagingly written by the current...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Alias Jesse James (1959) with Bob Hope, Rhonda Fleming, Wendell Corey, and many more. A formulaic Hope movie, with his nebbish persona, wise cracks, sight gags, and physical humor. Nonetheless, we laughed out loud quite a bit. For those who have not seen it, hold on until the very end for the...- Julian Shellhammer

What was the last TV show you watched?
The season 1 episode 1 program of The Danny Thomas Show, not called Make Room For Daddy in the show. Widow and widower marry to form blended family, except the character of Danny Williams is so famous that fans keep him from his new family which causes tv-land stress. Several cameos as the...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
A compilation of railroad promotional films from the 1940s, off of Amazon Prime. A great deal of patriotic narration about how we can travel our country at will, and how many natural resources we enjoy. I watched it for the time capsule about passenger travel: folks dressed like they going to...- Julian Shellhammer

The Mysterious Traveler, Murder in Jazz Time, from April of 1948 Mystery is My Hobby, Death Asks Questions, from November of 1947, a Mutual network product, with silky baritone Glenn Langan doing Tom Conway/Vincent Price/Les Tremayne. For a change of pace, The Alka Seltzer Show (or Program) from...- Julian Shellhammer

What Was The Last Radio Program You Heard?
The Sense of Wonder, from X Minus 1, April 1956. A small civilization lives aboard a space ship. No spoilers here, have a listen to good science fiction presented in a, sadly, dying medium by the time of this broadcast.- Julian Shellhammer
