Ep. 69: Good Grief This is Bad!!!: Commit One’s Review of Flubber (A Robin Williams Tribute)


Listen Later

What happens when you take a comedy film and make a great improvisational actor, who just patched things up with the studio, more subdued in his performance? You get this family-friendly waste of time! Will, Mike, and Sam close out 2021 with a special tribute episode to the late, great Robin Williams on the year of what would have been his 70th birthday by discussing his life and impact on the lives of many people with his work and look at one of his not-so-great performances (but still passable at points) with the 1997 Disney film Flubber. Released the same year as his Oscar-winning performance in Good Will Hunting, this film has Robin be more subdued as Professor Philip Brainard even though the film still has a wacky plot yet gives the one-liners to the film screen of his robot assistant.
