Airheads

Travolting ·

2022/10/07

The boys and special guest Adam Blythe discuss one of Fraser's faded cult classics, Airheads. A movie that features our boy Brendan Fraser, Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi, Chris Farely, and Joe Mantegna; but for some reason you can only find on Comedy Central at 11pm once a month.

With Honors

You saw him prep for Harvard in School Ties, now Brendan Fraser is now fully attending Harvard in this movie! Only this time, instead of battling the demons of antisemitism and xenophobia, Fraser must come to face... a homeless man... or even better... Joe Pesci as an eccentric homeless man. Joined by our good friend, Ross Wood!

THE WEASEL IS BACK! This week's episode of Fraser's Edge reprises one of Fraser's famed co-stars in one of his earlier break-out roles; the man, the myth, the dude... Pauly Shore. You may be asking yourselves "wait, what does this have to do with Fraser? Is he in this?" Well let's just say Fraser has a fascinating Link to this film....

Younger and Younger

2022/09/16

In this episode of Fraser's Edge, Brendan plays the son of Donald Sutherland, who has inexplicably not aged at all since this movie. The two actors play a father and son duo trying to keep their family owned storage facility arrive while Sutherland slowly goes insane and plays his pipe organ Davy Jones style above the facility's office.

Twenty Bucks

Travolting ·

2022/09/09

You know what Jeff and Stuart miss? That weird time in the 90's when Anthology films were a thing, which is what Twenty Bucks is! Instead of following a lone character, we follow a lone twenty dollar bill that really goes through it in this movie. We do not want to imagine what this dollar bill would be saying if we could hear its thoughts.

School Ties

2022/09/02

Fraser's first dramatic lead role takes place at an east coast boarding school in the 1950's where a young man must come to terms with his identity and defend himself amongst his peers (two of which include Matt Damon and Ben Affleck). Stuart got some real Dead Poet Society vibes while watching this one.

Encino Man

2022/08/26

Have you ever wondered lies beneath your backyard? Well in this 1992 flick, the answer is a frozen cave man played by Brendan Fraser! With our good old friend Pauly Shore (who still hasn't texted Jeff back) and Sean Astin; Encino Man answers the question, "Can Brendan Fraser create a good performance while only grunting?" You will find out.

Guilty Until Proven Innocent

Travolting ·

2022/08/19

We began Fraser's edge with a movie where Brendan was nothing more than an extra. His second movie, he got one line of dialogue; and now, we arrive at Brendan Fraser's first starring role in a TV movie. Anything sound familiar or rhyming with this trajectory??

Dogfight

Travolting ·

2022/08/12

In the wise words of Brendan Fraser: "How'd you like to eat my sh*t!?". Those were the very first words Brendan Fraser spoke in his hollywood career starting in the 1991 River Phoenix flick, Dogfight.

THE FRASER'S EDGE. Jeff and Stuart will be doing a similar deep dive into the career and life of Brendan Fraser.

The Fanatic

Travolting ·

2022/06/14

What we thought would be a funny movie to make fun of, became this obscenely offensive movie about the dangers of an individual's obsession over a movie icon, remind you of anyone?

53:43

The Poison Rose

Travolting ·

2022/06/07

This sub-par attempt to recreate the film noir stars your favorite cast such as Morgan Freeman, BRENDAN FRASER and last but not least... John Travolta, who sports a wig that is "suppose to look like a sad lion's mane". Stuart has thoughts of course.

Trading Paint

2022/05/31

Begin the countdown folks because we are on our THIRD to last episode of the Travolting podcast.

Speed Kills

Travolting ·

2022/05/24

Well now that the Gotti episode is done, you could almost say we're "surfing" to the end here. We've seen Travolta in a car, on a plane, now see him on a speed boat while aiding the drug cartel and avoiding the DEA. Speed really does kill in this movie.

Gotti

2022/05/17

Let me tell you somethin', Travolting is the greatest podcast in the f*cking world. Our podcast. We were small in the beginning, started at the bottom, and we made it to the top. This podcast ends in two ways, running out of Travolta movies or getting canceled. We did both. Cue the bass drop of Pitbull's Amore
