Don't say it three times!

Winona Wednesdays begins with Ryder's very first role in a motion picture, Lucas; a film starring Carey Haim, Kerri Green and the unproblematic Charlie Sheen. An 80's film that promotes healthy platonic relationships as opposed to forced and uncomfortable romances. Wait a minute...

Is it scientology? Is it Terryology? Is it some kind of pagan ritualistic cult? No. It’s the Secret of Karma, told to you by director and businessman Milan Friedrich. Is this movie trying to teach us a religion? A way of life? A new philosophy about the morals between good and evil? Can Fraser really pull off that outfit and make-up? One can only watch the movie in its entirety to know for sure… or you can just listen to this episode about it and spare all of the headache.

The Travolting boys do a quick pit stop back to our original guy, Travolta the man himself. Mob Land takes an interesting approach when it comes to the idea of what Travolta can do in movies, because once you watch this you’ll understand that Travolta just needs to stop trying to play the grizzled tough guy sheriff.

You know her from the disney classic High School Musical, now watch Vanessa Hudgens play a homeless and pregnant high school dropout who struggles to get away from her drug addict mother and get help from her successful business father (Fraser), only she doesn’t want his help either so she goes to a christian shelter for pregnant teenagers.

Brendan Fraser takes on his next big foe in this action packed thriller… logging companies! Joined again by special guest, Alex Wilson, the boys have a big discussion on Fraser’s current career status, the ethics of neurotypical actors playing characters on the spectrum, and how dumb the kids in this movie have to be to be stuck in this situation that they’re in.

“One of the most vile movies I have ever seen in my life.” - Stuart, Travolting Cohost “I wish I could erase this movie from my mind.” - Beth, Travolting Guest “Pretty good in the beginning, got a little worse throughout, but all-in-all an okay movie!” - Jeff, Travolting Host For the record, Jeff did go on to retract his statement and admit this movie is pretty awful.

After 50 episodes of Fraser’s highs and lows, this movie is the one that finally firmly breaks Jeff. In the words of Jeff: “This is such a nothing movie. It’s creepy. I hated the entire thing. It’s almost like the movie kept trying to break me and it did.” Stuart and Justin though had a good time making fun of this movie while Jeff made his dinner reservations while the recording button was still on so there’s still an episode to listen to!

Fraser returns to the animation world playing an action hero alien from outer space who relies on the brains of his smart older brother, Gary, played by Rob Corddry. The two are imprisoned by the evil forces of the US Military in Area 51 and must join forces with the other imprisoned aliens before the evil general finishes making his death laser that he'll use to wipe out all intelligent life besides Earth. Totally unrealistic.

After winning the Oscar for Best Live Action short for the 2011 film, "The Shore". Terry George goes off to make another movie dealing with Irish characters, this time though with Brendan Fraser, admittedly a non-Irish person who seems to almost have no business in this movie but we find him here anyway? We're very confused.

NO ITS NOT A MOVIE ABOUT FURRIES!! Well actually... it sorta is? Describing what this movie is but Fraser is in it so we had to cover it. Playing a real estate agent tasked with destroying a forest preserve inhabited by numerous animals, Fraser goes to war with the woodland creatures as we see before our very eyes the horrific lengths animals are willing to go to defend their home and (in the Vin Diesel voice).... "family".

The era in which we all fell in love with Brendan Fraser. His peak period. From George of the Jungle, Blast from the Past, The Mummy, and more; Fraser gave it his all during this era and because of that, took a massive toll on his body and mental health. We're very happy to see our man back in action today, and while we look back on this era fondly, it's important to understand that it wasn't all wins for Fraser during this period.

After The Mummy 3 gets buried by critics, Fraser turns to an old friend for help: Stephen Sommers.

Stephen's response: "How would you like to be in one scene in this new movie based on a toy franchise?" This episode is full of surprises that you won't want to miss.

Whoa whoa whoa folks! Before anybody says "Jeff and Stuart... THIS IS TV!" It in fact is NOT YOU LOSERS. But for real this is actually a TV movie. Technically THREE TV MOVIES that we are combining into one episode. Timmy Turner and his Fairy GodParents parody the classic movie trilogy which involves a special character voiced by the amazing Brendan Fraser.

In a world where there exists magical people who have the ability to bring to life the objects or people they read from a book, this movie would rather us watch a very sleepy Brendan Fraser (we hate to say it, but its true) and his likewise magical daughter go on an adventure to find their mother who got sucked into a book years ago. Sorta like a book version of Jumanji? Kinda?
