Podcast appearances and mentions of Brendan Fraser

Description This week we're skipping the blockbusters for the weird, wild, and mostly forgotten gems. Grab your neural implants and alien blasters as we explore the sci-fi movies that time almost left behind. From cyberpunk head-scratchers to B-movie alien invasions, we revisit the fascinating, flawed, and surprisingly ambitious sci-fi films that didn't quite make the Hall of Fame, but absolutely deserve another look.   News Marvel Oreos - The Stuf of Legends has arrived with superhero-themed cookies.   Millennium Falcon Pilot Chair - A detailed rolling chair replica inspired by Han Solo's cockpit seat is now available.   The 'Burbs TV Series - A Peacock series inspired by the 1989 Tom Hanks classic quietly dropped all episodes.   The Mummy 4 - Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz return on May 19, 2028 for the next installment.   During the Super Bowl, we got new looks at The Mandalorian and Grogu, Project Hail Mary, Super Mario Galaxy, Supergirl, Disclosure Day, and The Adventures of Cliff Booth.   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Shua has been diving into Reacher, where the towering former military policeman dispenses his own brand of justice with quiet intensity and very loud punches. Based on the Lee Child novels, the series delivers tightly constructed mysteries and satisfying payoffs that make it perfect comfort viewing for action fans. Jay is revisiting Twin Peaks Season 1, soaking in David Lynch's wonderfully strange blend of soap opera melodrama and unsettling mystery. Between cherry pie, coffee, and cryptic dream sequences, it's a masterclass in mood and quirky storytelling that still feels fresh decades later.     Sci-Fi Saturdays -  This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay looks at the forgotten sci-fi gem Colossal (2017). Gloria (Anne Hathaway), an out-of-work woman struggling with alcoholism, returns to her hometown only to discover she may somehow be connected to a giant monster attacking Seoul. It's a clever, genre-bending mix of kaiju chaos and personal drama, blending big sci-fi spectacle with intimate character study. Hathaway did a great job, and Jason Sudeikis plays against type in a role that's equal parts charming and unsettling. Read his article on RetroZap.com. And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.   Enjoy Movies!  The 1990s were packed with massive sci-fi blockbusters! But what about the ones that didn't dominate the multiplex? This week, Jay and Shua explore the fascinating middle tier of 90s science fiction: the cyber-thrillers, alien shootouts, dystopian futures, and existential thought experiments that lived just outside the spotlight.   From cult classics to genuine box office swings, they discuss why some of these films faded from pop culture memory while others quietly built loyal fanbases. It's a nostalgic, lighthearted look at the ambition, weirdness, and undeniable creativity that made 90s sci-fi such a strange and wonderful era. Which animated character would you pick? Who would be a good mashup? Let us know! First person that emails me with the subject line, "What the world needs now, is love sweet love." will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.

In Rental Family, the new Tokyo-set drama starring Brendan Fraser, writer-director Hikari poses the question: “Can fantasies and fictions ever fill the gaps left in our lives by the people we miss; the things that we long for?” It's a question the filmmaker – real name Mitsuyo Miyazaki – sets up and then resists answering in any declarative way. Instead, the film – about a washed-up American actor named Phillip who begins playing roles in the lives of strangers – treads around the topic with curiosity and empathy. Loneliness and loss, this drama seems to say, are a part of life, and sometimes we as a species go to unusual lengths in search of a balm for that pain. That's not necessarily healthy. It's not necessarily unhealthy either. It's just something that we do. And it leads to phenomena like “rental families” – a concept that really does exist in Japan, in which actors perform the role of a loved one in exchange for a fee. In today's spoiler conversation, Hikari – a former dancer and rap photographer, best known in film and TV for her work on the Netflix series Beef – joins Al to discuss what the growth of rental families in her home country of Japan says about where we're at as a society. The filmmaker breaks down how she translated the universal loneliness epidemic that the rental family industry is testament to, into this beautifully understated tale.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

Send Help – Sam Raimis neuer Genre‑Mix Der Film kombiniert Mystery, Thriller und emotionale Charakterentwicklung. Rachel McAdams und Dylan O'Brien tragen die Geschichte mit intensiven Performances, während Raimi typische Spannungselemente und visuelle Akzente setzt. Rental Family – ein Drama über Nähe, Identität und Rollen Hikari erzählt die Geschichte eines Mannes, der professionelle „Mietfamilien“ engagiert, um emotionale Leere zu füllen. Brendan Fraser, Takehiro Hira und Mari Yamamoto liefern starke, nuancierte Darstellungen in einem Film, der soziale Isolation und menschliche Sehnsucht thematisiert.

Welcome to your daily comedy podcast, where absolutely nothing makes sense and we like it that way.Today's show kicks off with a story that nobody asked for but everyone will remember forever: a 73-year-old former born-again Christian reinventing herself as an escort named Busty Granny. She spent decades in prayer and celibacy, then hit 57, downloaded the internet, and said “oh… THIS is what we've been missing.” Now she's got clients young enough to still have homework and zero interest in OnlyFans because, quote, that sounds boring. Inspirational? Traumatizing? Both.Then we get into the most depressing career math of all time: a woman casually sings seven words into her phone for a Dr Pepper jingle and walks away with $2 million, while the rest of us are out here working full-time jobs and eating gas-station sandwiches. Naturally, this leads to the crew trying to invent jingles for every brand that will absolutely never call back.Somehow that spirals into one of the most fun debates we've had in a while — the biggest debut albums of all time. We're talking massive numbers, MTV miracles, and how one 4am spin turned a “failed” album into a 50-million-copy monster. Along the way we argue, forget basic facts, remember them loudly, and realize radio used to be way more powerful than TikTok will ever admit.Movies get dragged (respectfully… mostly), Brendan Fraser gets the comeback love he deserves, and we debate whether seeing a movie in a theater automatically adds two letter grades just because popcorn exists.Woody returns to the Bud Light Studio and suddenly it's 2013 again — except now everyone's older, colder, and way more into arguing about shoes. This episode of The Rizzuto Show is a full-blown comedy podcast reunion that spirals immediately into chaos, as Rizz and Woody pick up exactly where they left off… which is apparently roasting California people for being weak in the cold, questioning why scarves exist, and debating whether New Balance, Hokas, or Nikes are officially “dad shoes” this week.In Crap on Celebrities, we hit everything from band lawsuits and surprise documentaries to tour dropouts, concert ticket chaos, and some genuinely heartbreaking but honest conversations about aging, memory, and how terrifying it is to not know what's happening inside your own brain.We also celebrate birthdays, overshare existential dread, and somehow end the show discussing a literal geyser of poop water blasting into the Potomac River — because if we're going to spiral, we're doing it together.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MODaily Show Notes: City of Dellwood deploys snow plows to assist with Riverview's covered roadsCommercial trucks blamed for quickly depleting St. Louis free salt supply‘Chimp Crazy' star Tonia Haddix appeals her nearly 4-year sentence in Tonka caseThe states growing – and shrinking – the fastest, according to Census estimates73-year-old grandmother who practiced 40 years of celibacy opens up on life as an escortSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

James Cameron-Wilson says that #1 28 Years Later – The Bone Temple deserves its 18 certificate as you will need a strong constitution. Starring Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell, it's hard to watch but is a gripping horror film with style, beauty and terrific dialogue. #7 Rental Family, starring Brendan Fraser, is set in Japan and directed by the Japanese Hikari. It's an odd but enthralling story with a light touch about an actor rented out as a family member. On Netflix, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck star in The Rip, a generic, often confusing but hard-hitting action thriller. It seems far-fetched but is based on a true story so outlandish, it had to be scaled back. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

I filmen Rental Family spelar Brendan Fraser en amerikan i Tokyo som tar jobb på ett företag där man hyr ut skådespelare till privatpersoner.

Och så om de egna minnena från uppväxten som regissören och manusförfattaren HIKARI skrivit in i filmen.

This week on Netflix vs. Cinema, we're caught between a rock and a hard place (or a house arrest and a pub trip). With Sharon away, our London correspondent Holly Nessling joins host Tosin Ajayi and resident expert Shaun Harris from "house arrest" to break down this week's viewing. From Shakespearean tragedies to Netflix thrillers, we're diving into a mix of high art and guilty pleasures. Who wins the battle for your attention this week: The Big Stream or The Big Screen? On the Big Screen (Cinema Reviews):

Brendan Fraser stars in 2001's Monkeybone—a dark comedy based on a child's erection that's a Drop Dead Fred situation wrapped in a Jacob's Ladder scenario. LIVE from NYC, HDTGM all-star Rob Huebel helps Paul and Jason discuss Stu's flabby arm fetish, if Bridget Fonda was an unethical doctor, Chris Kattan's electric performance as a reanimated corpse of a gymnast, all the weird characters in Down Town, Monkeybone's sex scene with Julie, and so much more. Plus, special guest Griffin Newman from the Blank Check podcast drops by to passionately defend Monkeybone as a great film. Oh, and the crew talk with MULTIPLE audience members who have actually been in a coma. • Go to hdtgm.com for tour dates, merch, FAQs, and more• Have a Last Looks correction or omission?

The first in-studio Empire Podcast of the year, following hot on the heels of our triumphant live episode at Kings Place, sees Chris Hewitt, Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and John Nugent get together to discuss their New Year's resolutions and define what 'cinema' means for them in 2026; review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, The Rip, and Rental Family, and discuss the week's movie news. Guest-wise, Chris has lovely chats with two twosomes — Ralph Fiennes and Chi Lewis-Parry (yes, back for more after the live show, even if this was recorded months before the live show) from 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, and Rental Family's star/director duo, Brendan Fraser and Hikari. Oh, and James tells a joke. Enjoy!

Let's face it, last year sucked - big time. So with that in mind we here at Apocalypse Video are pulling out all the stops and doing everything within our meager power to make this new year somewhat bearable, which is why every month in 2026 (or whatever year it is in the Wasteland…) will henceforth be known as “Oops, All Theme Months!!!”. And unlike last year, we're not starting with the wimpy and conservative JC – no, no…we're starting off strong with the Dark One, baby!That's right…Jesusary is no more…long live: Satanuary!! All month long at Apocalypse Video, we're giving tribute to the Dark Lord by diving into the depths of Satan's most devilish and diabolical filmography…First up, we answer our summons and appear in court as Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino chew up the scenery in the fiendishly horny and over the top legal thriller: The Devil's Advocate.I'm your host and Shift Leader in the Devil's Entertainment Division, Dave, and joining me as we try out our best Gainesville, Florida accents is fellow cinephile and Third Degree Master in Fire and Brimstone, Mike.Topics of discussion in this episode include Keanu's wildly entertaining and fluctuating southern accent; we salute Pacino as he absolutely goes off in a pre-Dunkachino performance; and finally, we question the merits of floor-sex and wonder why Charlize Theron with her hair up is somehow considered “dumpy” looking.Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Like Us on Facebook, or shoot us an email at apocalypsevideopod@gmail.com That'll do it for the first film of Satanuary. When we return we'll be getting silly (and sexy) with Elizabeth Hurley and Brendan Fraser as we watch the forgotten Harold Ramis comedy remake, Bedazzled.

Brendan Fraser - EUREKA DAY - Sister Wake

In this special holiday episode of Until You Make It, Chris and Mike gather with longtime friend and visual effects artist Ryan Laux for a look back at a transformative year and a look forward into the creative landscape of 2026. From Ryan's move to full-time freelance in Los Angeles to his strategic "rise" on social media, the crew explores the delicate balance between professional polish and the "scrappy" authenticity that actually drives engagement in the creator economy. The conversation shifts from the technical to the theatrical as Chris recounts his first true Broadway experience seeing Wicked in New York, sparking a deep dive into the differences between stage spectacle and cinematic storytelling. The guys also tackle the "dumbed down" state of modern streaming, questioning if shows are now being written specifically for distracted viewers on their phones, favoring repetitive dialogue and shallow focus over nuanced "show, don't tell" artistry. Whether it's debating if Die Hard is a Christmas movie, pitching a Brendan Fraser-led "Christmas Planet" sci-fi epic, or critiquing the AI-generated "munchkins" at the Las Vegas Sphere, this episode is a blend of high-level industry insight and casual holiday shop talk. What You'll Discover: The Power of "Scrappy" Content: Why Ryan shifted from perfectionism to TikTok-style tutorials—and how it led to a 50,000-view spike and new client leads. The 2026 Freelance Blueprint: Ryan shares the realities of his first full year of independent work and the transition from studio roles to the creator economy. Wicked on Stage vs. Screen: A breakdown of vocal performances, character framing, and why some creatives struggle with the "campy" nature of musical theater. The "Distraction" Epidemic in Media: How modern cinematography and writing are evolving to accommodate viewers who are multi-tasking on mobile devices. AI and the Las Vegas Sphere: Ryan's firsthand account of watching the Wizard of Oz enhanced by AI and rebuilt CG sets—and where the technology fell short. Defining a "Christmas Movie": The crew sets strict (and not-so-strict) criteria for what qualifies as a holiday classic. 2026 Creative Goals: From finishing "the movie" by NAB to finding a better balance between business growth and personal health. If you've ever felt paralyzed by perfectionism or wondered where the line is between "content" and "art," this episode offers a transparent look at making it in the modern visual industry.

Arconada comenta los estrenos de cine de la semana y Encarna Jiménez y Ayanta Barilli toda la actualidad cultural.

La cartelera se anima con propuestas comerciales y de autor que no han cuajado del todo en la temporada de premios, pero que merecen la pena. Hugh Jackman y Kate Hudson protagonizan 'Song Sung Blue', un drama musical de una banda tributo a Neil Diamond, y Brendan Fraser se va a Japón para ser un actor de familias de alquiler. Además, llega el debut en la dirección de Kristen Stewart con 'La cronología del agua' y, por supuesto, una de las películas más disfrutables para los cinéfilos, el homenaje de Richard Linklater a la Nouvelle Vague. En televisión, ordenamos los estrenos para empezar el año con la vuelta de la serie de moda, el drama médico 'The Pitt'.

De Película ofrece un abanico de propuestas que van del drama musical con Song Sung Blue: Canción para dos al cine de autor más arriesgado, la ópera prima de la actriz estadounidense Kristen Stewart, su título, La cronología del agua.Dos de las películas más destacadas de la cartelera y de Película son, Nouvelle Vague, dirigida por Richard Linklater, con la que viaja en el tiempo para llevarnos a 1959 cuando Jean-Luc Godard rodó ‘Al final de la escapada’. Toda una carta de amor que Linlklater rinde a los orígenes del movimiento francés, que cambió el lenguaje del cine. La otra película es Familia de alquiler, de la directora y guionista Hikari, no es ficción, es realidad, es el retrato de un negocio muy popular en Japón: el de las "familias de alquiler yes el ganador del Óscar Brendan Fraser quien da vida al protagonista y al que podemos escuchar en el programa.Una película que no encontramos todavía en cartelera y nos adelantamos a su estreno es Belén. Dolores Fonzi se pone detrás y delante de la cámara para dar vida a Belén, su segundo largometraje que lleva el nombre de la mujer que fue encarcelada tras sufrir un aborto espontáneo. Su caso, seguido muy de cerca por organizaciones como Amnistía Internacional, se convirtió en símbolo de la lucha de miles de mujeres argentinas por el derecho a decidir, Es Dolores Fonzi quien pasa por nuestros micrófonos para contarnos este caso real.Todo esto además de las series con Pedro Calvo, Ana Vega Toscano nos lleva al mundo de la dama del crimen y la reina del suspense, la gran Agatha Christie, medio siglo se cumple de su muerte el próximo 12 de enero, y las secciones habituales.Escuchar audio

#RentalFamily #BrendanFraser #Hikari #TakehiroHira #MariYamamoto   What happens when you get a film that bucks against the direction you think its going? Thats what Rental Family does. On the surface, you watch a foreigner in Brendan Fraser maneuver around Japan as a working actor trying to make it big through a special job as a companion to various people. Once the movie presents itself very quickly that its not what you think, you end up getting a very heartwarming and honest film but people and feelings. Solid direction, great cinematography, and excellent acting. 

Rental Family explores the unique phenomena of Japanese rental family agencies through an underemployed American actor living in Tokyo. Anchored by Brendan Fraser’s empathetic performance, Rental Family explores the lyricism of loneliness and the solace we can find in connection. Joining Larry to talk about Rental Family are director and co-writer of the film HIKARI and lead actor Brendan Fraser.

There's so much happening right now that we had to do a midweek visit with you here at Breakfast All Day. First, we reviewed the big movie of the week, "Avatar: Fire and Ash." James Cameron just keeps making "Avatar" movies, so we'll keep reviewing them. At least this time, Oona Chaplin adds an element of crazy-sexy danger as the leader of a tribe that's challenging the Na'vi. In theaters this Friday. Of course, we had to honor Rob Reiner, who was shockingly slain in his Brentwood home over the weekend alongside his wife, Michele. Since we recorded this, the couple's son, Nick, has been charged with two counts of first degree murder in connection with the killings. We remember Reiner as a director who made some of the most beloved and enduring movies of all time across a wide variety of genres, from "This Is Spinal Tap" to "The Princess Bride" to "When Harry Met Sally ..." to "Misery." We also pay tribute to how active he and his wife were in Democratic politics and causes. We'll devote our January Off the Menu poll to Reiner's work, so keep an eye out for that. Finally, a feel-good movie that we didn't feel particularly good about: "Rental Family." It's been out for a few weeks, so we wanted to catch up with it. Brendan Fraser stars as an American actor struggling to find work in Japan. He takes a job with an agency that hires out people to play a role in strangers' lives. Lots of people love this movie, but we did not. In theaters now. Thanks for sharing some of your time with us during the holidays. We'll have reviews of "The Housemaid" and "Is This Thing On?" plus movie news Friday, so come on back.

Send us a textThis week on Mummy Dearest Podcast we're unwrapping the dripping wet sensual author thriller: "Misery"! We loved watching the hottie with a body, Kathy Bates, slink around her sumptuously decorated love nest / prison with the timelessly gorgeous James Caan. The chemistry between these two was off the charts. We haven't seen a "will they / won't they" like this in a long time. Bonus points to the filmmakers for finding and casting an actual pig named Misery! We love to see a woman pig getting her flowers like that! As usual we also talk about food, wet dreams, Jessica Lange and whether or not we should hobble Pedro Pascal and Bad Bunny.

In his new film, 'Rental Family,' Brendan Fraser plays an actor in Tokyo who takes a job with a rental family service. It's based on a real phenomenon in Japan: companies where you can hire someone to fill a gap in your life. Fraser spoke with Tonya Mosley about shooting in Japan, working with Scorsese on ‘Killers of the Flower Moon,' and his struggle with confidence. Also, Ken Tucker shares three songs dominating the charts: Neko Case's "Oh, Neglect...," Valerie June's "Runnin' and Searchin'" and Olivia Dean's "Man I Need" Follow Fresh Air on instagram @nprfreshair, and subscribe to our weekly newsletter for gems from the Fresh Air archive, staff recommendations, and a peek behind the scenes. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
