Insert Hacking Montage. Just kidding, the entire movie is one big hacking montage! Join Jeff, Stuart and special guest Sam Kelly as they have a wild time talking about the 2001 John Travolta/Hugh Jackman action packed film, Swordfish.
This one's about Travolta trying to hack the lottery with Lisa Kudrow, oh and Tim Roth is in this. I know what you're thinking, "does Jeff have another 'friend' over?", well the answer is yes, but not who you'd expect.
Travolta's had a few of mishaps... okay maybe more than a few... but the one that takes the cake, the crème de la crème, the flop of all flops, is the one and only.... Battlefield Earth. Get ready for the hair ranking you've all been waiting for. Also Becca chose to guest star ON HER OWN FREE WILL WE DID NOT FORCE HER.
Take flight as Jeff and Stuart present to you a narrative work of literary fiction written by our man, Travolta. Starring eight-year-old, starry-eyed, Jeff; a boy who is experiencing a dream come true as he flies across the sky in his magical kingdom, airplanes.
At the end of the millennium, our boy, John Travolta fills out another 90's criteria film: the corrupt military film. Brought to you by the same director who directed Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" music video, directs this serious movie about misogyny in the military.
Picture this: you're in fourth grade. It's the spring semester, around January or February, might be a Tuesday or a Wednesday. The teacher gathers the class to all sit in a semi-circle on the carpet flooring. That's when the librarian you never see rolls out.... THE CART. The cart with the TV on it. She puts in a VHS tape, what's in that VHS tape you ask? It's the 1999 kids TV film, Our Friend, Martin.
A Few Good Men, In The Name of the Father, Philadelphia; all astounding courtroom dramas of the 90's; and of course, our boy, John Travolta, at the height of his powers couldn't leave his rise in the 90's without doing one. Join Jeff and Stuart for a "civil" discussion on the 1998 film, A Civil Action.
Me: "Hey mom, what was that movie that literally every single male actor in the late 90's were in?
Mom: "The Thin Red Line, honey."
Me: "Was John Travolta in that movie?"
Mom: "Yes, for three minutes. Why do you ask?"
Here at Travolting, we take nearly every Travolta appearance incredibly seriously, even if that only amounts to a total of 15 seconds and three lines of dialogue, which is what you get in the 1998 mockumentary, Welcome to Hollywood.
