Travolting

It's the late 1940's, Detective Elmer Robinson (Travolta) and Charlie Stromboli (Gandolfini) are heavy hitting detectives on the prowl looking for the infamous "Lonely Hearts Killers" (Hayek & Leto). Jeff and Stuart take a look into this period piece tale with awe and wonder, as they ask themselves the question: "Couldn't we have just watched Public Enemies?"

SPACE!! The final frontier, these are the voyages of podcast, Travolting. It's 73-episode mission, to explore John Travolta. To seek out old and new films and puzzling performances. To boldy go, where no podcaster has gone before...

It's a documentary about the moon landing and Travolta voices Jim Irwin in it.

Happy New Year folks! Don't you just hate sequels? They're almost never as good as the original, they reuse bits, ruin your favorite characters, sloppy writing; it's all bad. But we're all gonna 'Be Cool' as we give this sequel a shot-- oh wait... breaking news... Vince Vaughn commits a war crime in this movie? Oh boy....

You 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. For Stuart, it's the heartfelt, earnest, inspirational, thought-provoking movies like A Love Song for Bobby Long. Well get ready for another "Stuart" film, Ladder 49, where Jeff unfortunately may have made one too many firefighter jokes for Stuart to fully endorse this episode.

Who writes these descriptions by the way?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of our Travolting listeners! Brace yourselves for our very first (and probably only) Christmas special episode! This episode is full of laughs, jolly, and some unexpected guests that bring some surprising gifts to the podcast. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

So let's be real for a second. We've been hitting a rough patch with Travolta lately. Battlefield Earth was the iceberg, and the Travolta's been sinking for a while. But... in our deepest and darkest moment, a light shines through... a light that gives us hope that one day, John Travolta may be able to come back to our graces and give us the life that we've always wanted with him. That tiny ray of hope is A Love Song for Bobby Long.

Remember the early Marvel days? Before the MCU? Back when X-Men, Spiderman and Blade ruled the superhero industry? Where there's always this one sleeper film that not a lot of people talk about, and to be honest... the viewing experience can be quite a punishment. That's right, on this episode, Jeff, Stuart and special guess David Wilczynski talk about the 2004 vigilante film, The Punisher. Gun shot noises

Imagine you're watching a movie and it's got a lot of twists, and then there's the big twist at the end and you think you've got the whole movie figured out, but then there's another twist! After that twist you're a little confused but maybe you could piece things together but then after that THERE'S ANOTHER TWIST! AND BEFORE YOU COULD EVEN GRASP WHAT MATERIAL THE UNIVERSE IS MADE OUT OF THERE'S SEVEN MORE TWISTS AFTER THAT!!!

Sounds pretty 'Basic' right?

On today's episode of Travolting; Stu, Jeff and our very shagadelic friend Alex Wilson get shagalicious with this shagomatic cinematic masterpiece in which John Travolta graces for about 4 seconds (we counted). Oh behave baby... AH THANK YOU!

In this mystery thriller, John Travolta faces off against who very well may be his most menacing and scariest villain of all, Vince Vaughn. Remember him from all of his other horror slasher roles like the Wedding Crashers, The Break-Up, and Couples Retreat? Well get ready to see that side of Vaughn once again in the 2001 film, Domestic Disturbance.
