Travolting

Jeff and Stuart's second time covering a Woody Allen movie but this one being a full fledged written by, directed by and starring Woody Allen about a writer who cheats on his many wives. An obvious complete fictitious fabrication from Allen's mind which bares no resemblance to any of his real life alleged controversies and issues... allegedly...

Please don't sue us.

Besides their unscripted cameo on the popular TV Show "Friends", the only other project famed best friends Robin Williams and Billy Crystal would star in together was the 1997 film, Father's Day. With the comedic chemistry that exists between these two improv giants, you would think these two would thrive and soar in this movie.... we have some terrible news...

To be (in this movie) or not to be (in this movie)... that is the question Robin Williams must ask himself as he joins back up with Kenneth Branagh for a short and quick role in his 1996 epic cinematic adaptation of William Shakespeare's Hamlet.

"ITS SMEEE!!!" Just kidding its actually Bob Hoskins in a very different role portraying a russian agent who uncovers a conspiracy in which involves his special needs brother-in-law played by 22-year-old Christian Bale. Robin makes an "explosive" appearance in this film as "The Professor".

From the director who brought you The Godfather Trilogy, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Megalopolis, comes a movie made for... well... nobody really... I mean we don't even know if Jack is made for kids only, adults only, or both. Either way, Jeff, Stuart and Brian had a blast talking about the rise and fall of one of Hollywood's most famous/infamous directors.

Wait a minute... isn't this the third Aladdin movie? Wasn't there one in the middle? Return of Jafar? Well you are correct but Robin Williams isn't in that one because of a dispute between himself and Disney. Aladdin and the King of Thieves, the second direct to video sequel of the classic first movie, reprises Robin Williams in his famous role of the Genie. There's a couple of okay musical numbers but all in all its exactly what you'd expect from Disney's direct to video slop pipeline.

"Chewing gum helps me think!" "Sweetie, you're wasting your gum." Robin Williams and Nathan Lane play a gay couple who own and run a nightclub in Palm Beach Florida when their son's fiance's conservative parents (Gene Hackman & Dianne Wiest) decide to drive down to visit. An instant classic with great laughs and a joyful message of love.

It's Stuart's greatest fear, getting Jumanji'd into one of his board games. But wait a second... is getting Jumanji'd when you go into the game or when the game comes out of the game to you? This 1995 adventure film stars Robin Williams as Alan Parrish who has been sucked into a board game trying to survive the jungle for the past 26 years only to find out he must finish the game he started. This movie lived on a bunch of millennials VHS shelves!

A mouthful of a title but an important milestone of a film in queer cinema. Watch Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo in drag drive across the country to compete in the Drag Queen of America contest and run into all sorts of interesting situations and personalities of which themselves and the people they meet come away with the appreciation for expressing your truest self.

This week's episode features a classic 90's rom com where Hugh Grant and Julianne Moore are suddenly expecting! Hugh Grant, the usual non-committal lover boy, has to come to terms with whether he's truly ready to be a father. Robin's role in this? Well obviously its the Russian gynecologist.
