Jeff Goldblum stars in a movie that Siskel and Ebert called the worst film of 1996! Is it really THAT bad though? We have some thoughts as we discuss Goldblum along with this insane ensemble which includes Richard Dreyfuss, Diane Lane, Ellen Barkin, Gabriel Byrne, Kyle MacLachlan, and Burt Reynolds! Please, join us on the other side of the cosmos...

Did you know Jeff Goldblum has just one Oscar nomination, and it's NOT for acting? Actually, it's for directing LITTLE SURPRISES, a short film he made in the mid-90s which is also his only directing credit! It stars Kelly Preston, Mark Pellegrino, Rod Steiger, Julie Harris and more, and now we're talking about it! 

TODAY, WE CELEBRATE OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY PODCAST! For a brief period, Jeff Goldblum was a major part of the two highest-grossing films of all time: JURASSIC PARK, and the movie we're talking about today, Roland Emmerich's 1996 alien invasion disaster movie, INDEPENDENCE DAY! We talk Goldblum's role in the film, the rise of Will Smith, and how this movie represented a turning point for Hollywood blockbusters!

We're back for 2021, and this week we're talking Jeff Goldblum's role in a sports comedy with a fascinating backstory. Goldblum co-stars with Samuel L. Jackson, Damon Wayans, Jon Lovitz, Cheech Marin, Peter Berg and more in a movie directed by HOUSE PARTY's Reginald Hudlin and written by Tony Hendra (National Lampoon) and Ron Shelton (BULL DURHAM) - it's time to talk THE GREAT WHITE HYPE! 

For our last episode of 2020, we dive into Jeff Goldblum's role in POWDER, a movie that was plagued by controversy upon release thanks to director Victor Salva's criminal history. We dive into the context in which the movie was released, and Mike D laughs maniacally when he guesses the ending of this movie a half hour before it arrives. 

Jeff Goldblum pops up for a few scenes in Hugh Grant's first American movie, NINE MONTHS, which is... maybe a little better than its reputation suggests? Look, we're only human: If Robin Williams is going to mess around with a chair in a Russian accent, we're gonna laugh at it. Listen to us dive deep on this Chris Columbus romantic comedy! 

Mike and Mike talk about one of the most insane (and definitely the most '90s) movies that Jeff Goldblum has starred in so far - an adaptation of a Dean Koontz novel where Goldblum is seeing through a serial killer's eyes, HIDEAWAY! Come for the bonkers story logic, stay for the immediately-dated visual effects from the director of THE LAWNMOWER MAN! 

The same year he starred in JURASSIC PARK, Goldblum ALSO starred in a TV movie where he and Forest Whitaker hang around and play jazz, and for a while, that's pretty much all it's about! Then the plot kicks in, which is still good, but we would have watched Goldblum play sax and talk groovy lingo for 90 minutes, easy. It's time for LUSH LIFE! 

We finally made it. After a string of Hollywood flops and another string of little-seen EuroGoldblum movies, Jeff Goldblum makes his comeback in the biggest movie of his career. A movie which became the highest-grossing film of all time, where almost every scene has some line or image that has stuck around in pop culture. Goldblum gets the role he was born to play in Ian Malcolm, and we've been watching and rewatching for 27 years - Welcome... to JURASSIC PARK! 

We've finally reached the end of the EuroGoldblum movies, so before we can move on to talk about dinosaurs, we've gotta talk Goldblum in this dark comedy that turns oddly sincere in the third act. Mimi Rogers co-stars in 1992's SHOOTING ELIZABETH!
