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.

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.

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 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

Travolting ·

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

Travolting ·

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

3 to Tango

Travolting ·

2022/05/10

On today's episode, Mister Travolta is joined by Mister Worldwide on a singular art piece so exquisite you'll be asking yourself two questions: Does it really take three to tango? And...Does Travolta rock the bald look?

I Am Wrath

Travolting ·

2022/05/03

It's no accident that we're covering this movie on our 66th episode. John Travolta, aka Stanley Hill, aka Mister Wrath, wrecks havoc John Wick style on the corrupt city of Columbus Ohio as he takes his path of vengeance all the way to the top.

In a Valley of Violence

Travolting ·

2022/04/26

John Travolta in a WESTERN!? Well... kinda... Best quote of this whole episode though, said by our reoccurring special guest, Cole Bradley: "Ethan Hawke has the face of a person who knows what a latte is."

86:22

Criminal Activities

Travolting ·

2022/04/19

Pretty much every movie past the year 2009 has been criminal activity for John. We brought our good friend Adam Blythe who was able to remember this movie better than Jeff and Stuart. Remember Dan Stevens from that live action remake of Beauty in the Beast? He's in this.

Life On The Line

Travolting ·

2022/04/12

You all remember the Ladder 49 episode? The one where it was dedicated to our firefighter men and women in uniform?

"fellas... in this new era of direct to video movies, what more entertainment can you guys offer?". Well let us be the one to tell you that this episode is full of surprises such as a last minute special guest, and A NEW NUMBER ONE HAIR RANKING!
