2026-02-071h 23TravoltingA Very Travolting Christmas 5: NoelIt's that time of the year everybody! We are back for our FIFTH Christmas episode for the Travolting podcast.

Truly is the...
2025-12-241h 19TravoltingAI: Artificial IntelligenceA topical film in today's current technological evolution though this episode is 100% human made with no AI generative content. Jeff, Stuart and Mark, while on the verge of tears, dive deep into the ethical and philosophical goliath known as Spielberg's 2001 film, AI: Artificial Intelligence. Though this is a Robin Williams podcast, we may have spoken about Robin for a total of 5 minutes. When you see the total run time of this episode, you'll understand why that's a big deal.
2025-11-124h 07TravoltingRobin Williams: The Thespian (Recap Episode)Jeff and Stuart celebrate the decade of hit after hit during this superior time in Robin Williams' career from Dead Poets Society all the way to Good Will Hunting (with a couple of stinkers in between).

2025-10-082h 09TravoltingGood Will HuntingRobin William's magnum opus in regards to his acting career. This movie is full of amazing messages and themes that resonate throughout time.

How do you like them apples?

An obvious complete fictitious fabrication from Allen's mind which bares no resemblance to any of his real life alleged controversies and issues... allegedly...Please don't sue us.
2025-09-172h 03
TravoltingJackFrom the director who brought you The Godfather Trilogy, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Megalopolis, comes a movie made for... well... nobody really... I mean we don't even know if Jack is made for kids only, adults only, or both. Either way, Jeff, Stuart and Brian had a blast talking about the rise and fall of one of Hollywood's most famous/infamous directors.

This 1995 adventure film stars Robin Williams as Alan Parrish who has been sucked into a board game trying to survive the jungle for the past 26 years only to find out he must finish the game he started. This movie lived on a bunch of millennials VHS shelves!
2025-07-302h 00
TravoltingMrs. DoubtfireIf you were born in the 90's, this and/or Aladdin was your childhood introduction to Robin Williams. This heartwarming Chris Columbus movie has a dark spin among certain audiences, like Jeff.
2025-06-272h 15
TravoltingFernGully: The Last RainforestJeff, Stuart and special guest Alex Wilson talk about Robin Williams' first feature length animated role as Batty Koba in FernGully: The Last Rainforest. Batty is a bat, as the name would imply, that suffered under human experiments which led to him having erratic mood changes where his personality switches like changing the channel on a TV.

2025-04-231h 38
TravoltingThe SurvivorsJeff and Stuart barely "survived" watching this movie. Marketed as a two-hander between Robin and Walter Matthau, this movie nails the jokes just as well as the plot: fast and unintelligible.

TravoltingBeetlejuice BeetlejuiceDon't say it a third time! Jeff and Stuart finally reach Winona's modern era opus film, a sequel to a 1988 Tim Burton cult classic that includes the return of Keaton, O'Hara, and adding to the gang Jenna Ortega as Lydia Deetz's daughter. While Jeff, Stuart and special guest Trina Mulligan all have different opinions on the success/achievement of Beetlejuice 2, none of them deny the benchmark this film is for Winona's post-Stranger Things comeback to fame.
2024-12-112h 22
TravoltingGone in the NightOriginally called "The Cow" for... reasons... but this is Winona's first major top billed role in a real movie in over a decade. Jeff and Stuart remark the similarities between this movie and Zach Cregger's "Barbarian" except Gone in the Night takes a few unexpected twists and turns which leave the boys giggling at the sillyness of it all. That all being said, there is a tinge of hope for Winona after watching her performance in this movie which if anything, offers some great thriller vibes in the first two acts.
2024-11-271h 11
TravoltingBrothersThe Fraser's Edge returns with Brendan's latest release, Brothers, starring Peter Dinklage and Josh Brolin. While the movie was made before Killers of the Flower Moon but released on Amazon Prime last week, Jeff and Stuart both agree that in this mediocre, by-the-numbers film, Fraser is the one who shines with his comedic force.

TravoltingThe CrucibleHey folks! Quick little announcement about this episode. Halfway through recording a lovely two and a half hour episode on The Crucible, a witch came into our studio and casted a spell on our recording gear, making the second half of our episode possessed by the devil and corrupted. We apologize for the distracting audio quality that begins about half-way through the episode but hope you can enjoy Jeff, Stuart and Brian Delisi talking about the amazing performances of The Crucible!
2024-04-032h 07
TravoltingMermaidsHeads up gang, if you think you are about to hit play on this episode and listen to a discussion about a movie with mermaids in it... this is not going to be the episode for you. Instead, Jeff, Stuart and special guest Charlie Schumann dive deep into a movie about a mother and a daughter reconciling their differences and figuring out what growing up and being a parent is really all about. CHER!
2024-01-171h 47
TravoltingHeathersThey 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 film: "What is your damage, Heather?"

TravoltingHair BrainedAfter 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 on so there’s still an episode to listen to!

TravoltingThe Fairly OddParents: WishologyWhoa whoa whoa folks! Before anybody says "Jeff and Stuart... THIS IS TV!" It in fact is NOT YOU LOSERS. But for real this is actually a TV movie.

Michael Caine plays a British reporter living in Saigon alongside Brendan Fraser who plays an American with large ideas for Vietnam. Jeff and Stuart had a great time discussing all of the subtexts between Caine's neutral and impartial position and Fraser's American exceptionalism.

2023-01-061h 52
TravoltingTwenty BucksYou 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.
2022-09-091h 11
TravoltingSchool TiesFraser'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).

TravoltingThe Poison RoseThis 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.

TravoltingLadder 49You folks have probably figured out by now which types of movies our hosts enjoy. For Jeff, it's the silly, not too serious, low-brow but thoughtful movie like Boris and Natasha. For Stuart, it's the heartfelt, earnest, inspirational, thought-provoking movies like A Love Song for Bobby Long.
