Travolting

We've seen movies like Elvis, Judy, Whiplash, Amadeus, and many others that explores an iconic artist who went through troubled times but left a legacy that will stand the test of time. This movie would like to be in that club, however what you will find is an exploration of a deplorable man who thought coercing and marrying his 13-year-old first cousin was a perfectly fine thing to do; but hey he...

This may be our sweatiest christmas episode yet...

They said this movie would kill her career before it ever began. They said this movie was tasteless, controversial and extreme; but as Christian Slater as J.D. says in the 1988 cult classic 'Heathers', "The extreme always seems to make an impression." Join Jeff, Stuart and Rebecca Sweeney as they divulge into the nuanced and intricate take on high school culture and we ask those nay-sayers of the...

The moon landing, woodstock, vietnam; these are all major events happening in the year 1969, all shown as a backdrop to two college students dodging the draft and contemplating the path of their lives. In this movie we see Winona Ryder, Kiefer Sutherland, and Robert Downey Jr; all develop their own ideas and opinions on the state of the nation fighting in an unjust war.

Don't say it three times! After two small roles and project, Winona takes the world by force as Lydia, the strange and peculiar girl who can see dead people in Tim Burton's 1988 cult classic, Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice not only brought us Winona, but it also paved way for Michael Keaton and many other amazing artists. Join the boys and special guest Scott Hoelzer as they dive deep into the unfathoma...

13-year-old Winona Ryder plays Gemma, an awkward small town religious girl who wants to move away from her small minded community and angry grandfather to go live with her mother in the big city, Fort Worth Texas. Much like Travolta in Urban Cowboy, Winona soon finds that the cultural shift will rock her world.

Winona Wednesdays begins with Ryder's very first role in a motion picture, Lucas; a film starring Carey Haim, Kerri Green and the unproblematic Charlie Sheen. An 80's film that promotes healthy platonic relationships as opposed to forced and uncomfortable romances. Wait a minute...

Two seasons down, only 58 more to go. Jeff and Stuart cap off the seasons end with a final retrospective on Brendan Fraser starting from where he's been, what he's doing, and where we think he'll go (or should go) from here.

Scorsese is back and this time, he brought our boy Fraser along. In this new resurgence of Fraser's career, the boys are excited to see Fraser perform well in the small roles he gets, and boy does he deliver! As always, we highly recommend folks go watch the movie first before listening to this episode as this will be a spoiler heavy episode as they all are.

You may be looking at this notification on your phone and thinking "wait a second... didn't they scrap the Batgirl movie?" Where would the Travolting boys be without their inside sources? That's right... we got the scoop! A secret full cut of the movie that we got to watch, record ourselves talking about it, and release the discussion to you folks! Let's see how long it takes before Warner Brother...

It has finally arrived... the 'big' one... we mean that both literally and metaphorically. The movie that inspired the Travolting boys to investigate Fraser's career in the first place, The Whale. Joined by special guest, Justin Campbell, as well as a few surprise visits, much like what happens in the movie, The Whale.

Folks, we now enter a new era with the Fraser's Edge, the Auteurist Return Era. Starting with a Soderbergh film taking place in the 1950's starring two mobsters on the run from a heist gone bad. Fraser's role? The man who hired them!

The Hollywood Exile Era was certainly tough to get through, but knowing that there was a light on the other side was what kept the boys going. Jeff and Stuart recap the rough patch of Fraser’s career and speak on the quick rise back to the spotlight that is to come.

Is it scientology? Is it Terryology? Is it some kind of pagan ritualistic cult? No. It’s the Secret of Karma, told to you by director and businessman Milan Friedrich. Is this movie trying to teach us a religion? A way of life? A new philosophy about the morals between good and evil? Can Fraser really pull off that outfit and make-up? One can only watch the movie in its entirety to know for sure… o...

Imagine an Indian version of the Godfather. Could be cool, right? Except if that’s what this movie is, why is Brendan Fraser here?

Fans of Travolting, let’s imagine what this phone call was like for a moment shall we? Jeff calling Stuart Stuart: Hello? Jeff: Stuart. Stuart: Yes Jeff. Jeff: I’m so sorry to have to tell you this. Stuart: Oh great what is it now? Jeff: I was looking at our roster for The Fraser’s Edge…Stuart: Yes? Jeff: And I’ve discovered something that I cannot believe we didn’t think about. Stuart: OkayJeff:...

It's Sunday 2014, you just got out of 10:30 mass with your family. After Mom finishes talking to all of her church friends while you, your siblings and Dad are waiting by the car; Mom mentions the prospects of going to the movies. You're in high school, but as the oldest you also have two or three younger siblings in middle/elementary school so Birdman is out. That's when your youngest sibling vot...

The Travolting boys do a quick pit stop back to our original guy, Travolta the man himself. Mob Land takes an interesting approach when it comes to the idea of what Travolta can do in movies, because once you watch this you’ll understand that Travolta just needs to stop trying to play the grizzled tough guy sheriff.

You know her from the disney classic High School Musical, now watch Vanessa Hudgens play a homeless and pregnant high school dropout who struggles to get away from her drug addict mother and get help from her successful business father (Fraser), only she doesn’t want his help either so she goes to a christian shelter for pregnant teenagers. Definitely the same joyous rom-com vibe of her disney day...

Brendan Fraser takes on his next big foe in this action packed thriller… logging companies! Joined again by special guest, Alex Wilson, the boys have a big discussion on Fraser’s current career status, the ethics of neurotypical actors playing characters on the spectrum, and how dumb the kids in this movie have to be to be stuck in this situation that they’re in.

“One of the most vile movies I have ever seen in my life.” - Stuart, Travolting Cohost “I wish I could erase this movie from my mind.” - Beth, Travolting Guest “Pretty good in the beginning, got a little worse throughout, but all-in-all an okay movie!” - Jeff, Travolting Host For the record, Jeff did go on to retract his statement and admit this movie is pretty awful.

After 50 episodes of Fraser’s highs and lows, this movie is the one that finally firmly breaks Jeff. In the words of Jeff: “This is such a nothing movie. It’s creepy. I hated the entire thing. It’s almost like the movie kept trying to break me and it did.” Stuart and Justin though had a good time making fun of this movie while Jeff made his dinner reservations while the recording button was still...

Justin Long and Evan Rachel Wood star in this 2010's indie rom-com where a washed up writer who's sweating over what his next great book is going to be, meets a girl and decides to go down the noblest route to charm and win her love... facebook stalking...

After winning the Oscar for Best Live Action short for the 2011 film, "The Shore". Terry George goes off to make another movie dealing with Irish characters, this time though with Brendan Fraser, admittedly a non-Irish person who seems to almost have no business in this movie but we find him here anyway? We're very confused.
