Through the discovery of a new chance at life, Robin and Robert both find new meaning and purpose in what it means to be alive. This is a major Stuart tearjerker movie. 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. 2025-01-2242 min
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.

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.2024-11-061h 25

Jeff and Stuart are joined by special guest Dan Gutierrez who actually worked on the film!2024-10-091h 54

TravoltingGirl, InterruptedIn a movie where Winona Ryder plays a depressed teenager committed to a mental institution, it's Angelina Jolie who steals the show as the sociopathic girl that "interrupts" Winona's treatment.

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."

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!2023-08-0455 min

TravoltingThe Quiet AmericanBased on a book written in 1955 warning us about the dangers of American involvement in other country's affairs. Can you guess where the story is set? Vietnam...

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. 2022-06-0753 min

TravoltingCriminal ActivitiesPretty much every movie past the year 2009 has been criminal activity for John.

They are savages.2022-03-221h 44
TravoltingThe Wickedly Talented Adele DazeemSoooo..... this happened. We won't lie, we originally were gonna have Savages premiere this week. But schedules got mixed up and we unfortunately had to spend 12 minutes of our lives talking about Travolta being extremely cringey in real life as opposed to being cringey in movies. Oh and by the way, this is all Goldie Hawn's fault. 2022-03-1512 min
TravoltingFrom Paris With LoveTravolta.... is..... BALD!!! BALD!!! BALD BALD BALD BALD BALD!!! That's all Stuart has to say about this episode, because he and Jeff couldn't remember much else about this movie. Something about Wax? Spies? Hookers? Cocaine? What is this movie!?2022-03-0847 min

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.
