Podcast appearances and mentions of Brendan Fraser

It has been a big and bold week for the Say Reporters and we are here to share it all with you.First we get the penultimate recap of “Suits LA” out of the way and aside from the inclusion of Louis LItt it was just another example of why this show was ultimately cancelledThen Devon has a quiz for Sejohn comprised of the four questions he got wrong when putting his Adam Sandler knowledge to the test at a local pub trivia night focused on his filmsNext a brief examination of the now common practice of offering video games a few days earlier than release date at a premium cost and how we found a way to avoid that nonsense using old access codes and Xbox Game Pass.Finally we get to the real meat of the episode when we discuss all of the Brendan Fraser films that have been discussed on the show in celebration of Brendan Fraser History Month and construct a tier list based on our feelings about his performances in each.

Join us as we take an adventure though Egypt in the 1920s in The Mummy. This film is Brendan Fraser as his most Brendan Fraseriest.... You know what I mean. Is this all just nostalgia or is this movie as good as we remember it being?

Laura Van Alphen is orthopedagoog, inclusiecoach en een Disney Klassiekers resident-in-wording. In de eerdere prinsessenaflevering (episode 133) vertelde ze over de favoriete prinses van haar dochtertje Juno: Assepoester. Intussen hebben we samen haar heldin ontmoet in Disneyland Paris, en hebben we de Mundo Pixar Experience in Brussel verkend. Voor deze aflevering leest Laura voor een film van een heel ander kaliber: ‘George of the Jungle'. Opnieuw een Disney die ik nooit eerder zag, maar waarvan ik vreemd genoeg wel de oorwurm van een titelsong kende. In een notendop: dit is parodie op Tarzan meets Crocodile Dundee, met humor te dom voor woorden. Zo dom, dat het net heel erg grappig wordt. We hebben het over de drie kathedralen in het lichaam van Brendan Fraser, over de mislukte romance met tegenspeelster Leslie Mann en de Disneycarrière van leeuw Joseph. Maar het ook over een bijna niet verschenen interview met antropologe Jane Goodall, de papa van Matthew Perry en hoe deze film in een kwaliteitskrant ooit in een adem werd genoemd met ‘Titanic' en ‘Jurassic Park'. En we drinken intussen een ‘White Ape'. Die fictieve cocktail is een mopje in de film (“White ape? Sounds like a drink!”) die ik voor de gelegenheid zelf heb gecreëerd. Recept: 1oz Monkey 47 Gin, 2oz Malibu, 2oz Alpro soja bananenmelk, shaken met ijs in cocktailshaker.Don't worry. Nobody dies in this episode. They just get really big boo-boos.

For our season 6 premiere, we are returning to, unveiling, and dissecting the hidden wonders of a film that will forever shake our mental foundations for all time. That film is the 1995 cinematic force known as The Passion of Darkly Noon, written and directed by Phillip Ridley... starring Brendan Fraser, Ashley Judd, and Viggo Mortensen. This episode is a deepm dive, and that is a severe understatement, so it is highly reccommended for the viewer to listen having seen - scratch that, having EXPERIENCED The Passion of Darkly Noon.*   *(Well, there IS self harm with sharp objects but Brendan Fraser is weird about it and it's suppposed to be artsy not shocky but it's still grotesque I dunno it's rated R okay? The dog does die too. And old lady offs herself but she's weird about that too?? Again, discretion, use it.)

Welcome back ragers to the best movie review podcast on the planet. The rage rolls on from the Film Rage Studio. This week the Film Rage Crew went and saw a whole bunch of underdog movies and a movie about a homicidal mouse. First up The Minecraft Movie which sounds like it should be awful but the boys will have the final say on that. Then Freaky Tales which surprised both Jim and Bryce in a good way. Next up Bryce was the only one that got the pleasure of watching Steamboat Willie slaughter a bunch of New Yorkers in Screamboat. Then Paul Walter Hauser shines again in The Luckiest Man in America. Then finally the legend of William Tell is brough to the big screen. Plus listen as Jim tries to put into words what he thought of his Rage or Dare movie, the Brendan Fraser cash grab, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. I think I blocked out the fact that said movie even existed.

Get ready for a wild, surreal ride through the twisted corridors of early-2000s cinema as the Reel Comic Heroes crew dives headfirst into Monkeybone—a film that's part dark fantasy, part slapstick comedy, and entirely confusing. In this episode, we unpack the strange journey of cartoonist Stu Miley (Brendan Fraser), who finds himself trapped in a bizarre limbo world filled with oddball creatures, bad decisions, and one very horny monkey. We'll explore the film's chaotic tone, the surprisingly impressive creature design by Stan Winston Studio, and ask the big questions—like “Who exactly was this movie for?” and “Was Hollywood just... okay with this?” We also look at director Henry Selick's jump from The Nightmare Before Christmas to Monkeybone, and how the film's troubled production and studio meddling might've buried its potential. Expect laughs, bewilderment, and a healthy dose of 2000s nostalgia (and regret). Spoiler warning: monkey business ahead.

Send us a textRemember when blockbuster movies didn't take themselves so seriously? When they balanced action, horror, comedy, and romance without sacrificing pure entertainment value? The 1999 adventure classic "The Mummy" represents this perfect equilibrium, and we're diving headfirst into its sandy depths to uncover what makes it so enduringly appealing.Brendan Fraser's Rick O'Connell and Rachel Weisz's Evelyn Carnahan create magic on screen with their natural chemistry and witty repartee. Their relationship evolution feels authentic despite the extraordinary circumstances, providing an emotional anchor amid the supernatural chaos. Whether they're bickering over packing a suitcase or facing down an ancient evil, their scenes together sparkle with an energy rarely captured in today's blockbusters.The film's special effects present a fascinating time capsule of late '90s Hollywood innovation. Released the same year as The Phantom Menace, The Mummy showcases both cutting-edge CGI and practical effects that combine to create memorable sequences - from the sand face storm to the partially regenerated Imhotep. While some effects show their age, others remain impressively effective more than two decades later. The scarab beetles crawling under human skin still make us squirm, proving that sometimes imagination trumps perfect visual execution.We explore the fascinating historical liberties taken by the filmmakers, who borrowed real Egyptian historical figures separated by millennia and placed them together in a fictional narrative. Despite these creative choices, the production team's attention to detail in hieroglyphs, language, and cultural elements demonstrates a genuine appreciation for Egyptian history and mythology. The film manages to create an immersive world that feels respectful of its source material while prioritizing entertainment over strict historical accuracy.What makes this episode particularly compelling is our discussion about why Hollywood rarely produces mid-budget adventure films of this nature anymore. The Mummy represents a lost era when studios were willing to take chances on original adventure stories without the pressure of universe-building or franchise potential. Join us as we reminisce about this perfect popcorn movie that reminds us all why we fell in love with cinema in the first place.Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbATwitch (Anthony):https://www.twitch.tv/odysseywowSupport the show

Send us a textWhat happens when a big-budget blockbuster has all the right ingredients but still fails to fully satisfy? That's the puzzle at the heart of our deep dive into 2010's Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, a film that cost hundreds of millions to make but couldn't capture the magic of its video game source material.The conversation kicks off with an examination of Jake Gyllenhaal's bewildering accent and lack of charisma as the titular prince – a critical misstep that creates a void at the center of this action-adventure. "It's the worst accent of any leading man in a movie," we conclude, comparing his performance unfavorably to the natural charm of Brendan Fraser in The Mummy or the cast of Pirates of the Caribbean.The film's salvation arrives about 40 minutes in with Alfred Molina's scene-stealing performance as a tax-evading ostrich racer. His character breathes life into a previously lifeless movie, demonstrating exactly what was missing from the start: humor, heart, and genuine entertainment value. We discuss how supporting characters often make or break these big adventure films, and how Prince of Persia failed to understand this crucial dynamic.We also break down the disappointing direction choices that plague the action sequences – the choppy editing and shaky camerawork that obscure rather than showcase the parkour stunts that made the video games so special. For a franchise known for fluid movement and graceful acrobatics, the film's inability to properly capture these elements represents a fundamental misunderstanding of its appeal.Join us for this entertaining analysis of blockbuster filmmaking gone awry, and why some adventure films become beloved classics while others remain forgotten curiosities.

What happens when Henry Selick, the Director of a Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline, and  James and The Giant Peach decides to create a live action film? You get the insanity that is Monkeybone. This dark fantasy/gross out comedy stars Brendan Fraser, Bridgette Fonda, the voice of John Tutoro, and zombie Chris Kattan and when it released in 2001, it failed at the box office and marked the short end to Henry Selick's live action career. But does this movie deserve all the hate? And are there elements of Monkeybone that critics in 2001 just didn't get?

Andrew Buss has carved out a niche for himself as a pop culture expert, with a heavy emphasis on comedy. He has written for publications like Vanity Fair, New York Magazine's Vulture, The Daily Beast, Consequence of Sound, and The Laugh Button, where he served as editor for five years. As a journalist, Andrew has conducted interviews with some of the most prominent names in entertainment, including Mel Brooks, Seth Rogen, Nikki Glaser, Conan O'Brien, Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Emma Stone, Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, Brendan Fraser, Jonah Hill, Bo Burnham, and countless others. In this interview, we talk about his writing and journalism journey, his new book I AM MCLOVIN, the legacy of SUPERBAD. When Superbad was released on August 17th in 2007, it proved itself to be a massive success right out of the gate, especially for those in the film's target millennial demographic. The film wound up dominating at the box office, bringing in $170 million dollars worldwide, against a $20 million dollar budget. It also launched the careers of Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Emma Stone, Bill Hader, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Seth Rogen whose careers are all thriving to this day. It further proved that Judd Apatow is now one of the most successful film producers of his generation, bringing the world hit after hit. Superbad remains, to this day, a beloved comedy film for millennials who grew up with it. This is because, unlike other comedies of that era, it embraced the awkwardness of the characters, particularly with someone like Michael Cera. Unlike the cartoonish representations of an 80s comedy like Revenge of the Nerds, Superbad presented itself with depth to the characters that enabled millennials (and other generations) to bond with the movie in a more meaningful way.

This week, we are taking a ride down the river Nile as we eat Mediterranean food, possibly with bugs, and discuss The Mummy (1999). We are in love with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz as much as Imhotep is in love with Anck Su Namun. This film is full of entertainment if you can get over the ability to teleport to and from locations with ease and silly effects that may be as cool as a face in a sandstorm but are ill-used when it comes to plot and the rules of magic. Who wouldn't wait dead for years in the desert, after being buried alive, to be resurrected and practically immortal with the intention of reuniting with the love of your life? Wait, is this a love story or an action movie?

The Candlelight Procession is a christmas musical event that Disney hosts in both of its parks with various celebrity narrators to guide us through the nativity story of Jesus. Well in 2023 in Disneyworld's EPCOT, our boy Brendan Fraser makes a return to the land of Orlando Florida where we will once again talk through a live viewing of the 2023 EPCOT Candlelight Procession.

Send us a textThis week on Mummy Dearest Podcast Zach and Sloane unwrap the hotly debated is it or isn't it Christmas classic: "Die Hard". The duo discuss the need to unwind after a long day and "mentally goon" in lieu of social interaction. Sloane defends the right for "Die Hard" to be a Christmas movie and then moments later debates herself in a dizzying feat of mental gymnastics. But the real treat this episode is Zach's tale of getting airlifted out of an elevator by a team of Rhode Island's finest EMTs and firefighters.

Let's talm about the movie The Whale.   It does not surprise me that hollywood raved about this movie so much and gave Brendan Fraser the oscar. The marketing around this movie was clever but as usual had an overt Anti Christian sentiment.   As always,  Don't forget to spread the fire!  

On the newest episode of Comics and Chronic the guys discuss The Mummy. The Mummy is a 1999 American action-adventure film written and directed by Stephen Sommers, starring Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, and Arnold Vosloo in the title role as the reanimated mummy. It is a remake of the 1932 film of the same name. The film follows adventurer and treasure hunter Rick O'Connell as he travels to Hamunaptra, the City of the Dead, with librarian Evelyn Carnahan and her older brother Jonathan, where they accidentally awaken Imhotep, a cursed high priest with supernatural powers. The guys also discuss how Anthony will save us from AI. They talk about how hot the cast is and all of the cast's illustrious careers. Was Imhotep antisemitic? What were the conditions like on set? Would we survive this movie? Does this feel like an early MCU movie? Who would we cast as 90's MCU? Find out on the newest episode of Comics and Chronic!
