It's Brendan's final film before the arrival of George. There's puppets. Sleeping on pianos. Cons and schemes. It's got everything. I mean it's really not George of the Jungle but it's got a lot of stuff. *** Exceptional Thieves is a podcast where Samuel Brookfield and Isaac Tibbs review and rewrite movies.

It’s time to talk about one heck of a 90’s TV movie.  In this one, genetic testing can determine whether a baby will be gay or not, and the family have to decide whether to abort it or not because of that. It’s actually kind of good..?  Listen in to hear us stumble our way through this one! *** Exceptional Thieves is a podcast where Samuel Brookfield and Isaac Tibbs review and rewrite movies.

We're back! After a painfully long break the boys are back on the mic with another tiny Brendan Fraser cameo in a big sad Baffleck movie about being 22, becoming self-aware, and shredding with your bros.

On the 17th episode of our Brendan Fraser filmography odyssey, we're breaking the chronology to go back to the cinema for most of the day. The legendary Martin Scorcese brings some legends back to the screen, including the big bad Brendan himself. So is it good? And more importantly, is Brendan loud enough? *** Exceptional Thieves is a podcast where Samuel Brookfield and Isaac Tibbs review and...

On the 16th episode of our Brendan Fraser filmography odyssey, it's cameo time again in a girl movie for girls about what it's like to be a girl in a Stephen King novel in the 70s except there's no monster. Needless to say we got a lot out of this one. *** Exceptional Thieves is a podcast where Samuel Brookfield and Isaac Tibbs review and rewrite movies. Currently presenting our specia...

On this episode, it's Brendan Fraser's 1994 anthology series episode Professional Man! Brendan plays gay, psychopathic hitman Johnny Lang, whose cover is as an 'ace elevator operator'. Directed by Steven Soderbergh (for real). Join us for a discussion of noir, the mechanics of shivving someone, and what the gay mafia's vibe would probably be like. *** Exceptional Thieves is a p...

On the 13th episode of Turns of Frase, Brendan plays a baseball man who loves baseball and is all about baseball. That's why there's so much baseball in this movie. So much.

Adam Sandler! Steve Buscemi! Brendan Fraser! ... David Arquette kind of! On the 11th episode of Turns of Frase, it's time to rock and roll in a movie about young spaced out white guys holding people at gun point because they deserve to 'be heard'. So yeah Airheads kinda misses the mark tonally, but a fascinating watch! *** Exceptional Thieves is a podcast where Samuel Brookfield and Is...

On the tenth episode of Turns of Frase, it's a 1994 movie about Joe Pesci in his Robin-Williams-With-A-Beard-Movie era, and a group of attractive friends at college. (The college is Harvard by the way and this movie will not let you forget it). Didn't mind this one. *** Exceptional Thieves is a podcast where Samuel Brookfield and Isaac Tibbs review and rewrite movies. Currently presenting...

On the 9th episode of Turns of Frase, we're back in the Pauly Shore-iverse with a suprisingly good movie about Carla Gugino pretending to be attracted to Pauly Shore in South Dakota.

You know how cool and sexy running a storage facility is? You know what a high paced, high stakes environment that is? Well this movie is about that.

On the seventh episode of Turns of Frase, we're reviewing an anthology movie starring Brendan Fraser, David Schwimmer, Steve Buscemi, William H. Macy, Christopher Lloyd, Elizabeth Shue, and Linda Hunt.

On the third episode of Turns of Frase, we're still in 1991 with what most people apparently adore as a romantic film, about lies, psychopathy, weird musical arcades, and terrible people not changing. We did not like this one. Time codes: Seen Any Good Movies Lately? - 12min 20sec Movie Review Starts - 25min 45sec Discussing Brendan's Role - 57min 45sec *** Exceptional Thieves is a podcast...

On the second episode of Turns of Frase, we're reviewing the very first few seconds of screen time featuring Brendan Fraser in recorded history: the 1991 TV movie 'Child of Darkness, Child of Light'. It's about two 'immaculate conceptions', one the second coming of Jesus or something, the other the first coming of Satan, and Church-Cop has to figure it out. It's availab...
