Frasier On Film
Welcome to Frasier On Film - the Frasier TV show podcast with a twist.
Each episode of the podcast visits each episode of Frasier across its 11-series run. But our main focus isn’t on the good Dr. himself. No, no! It’s going to be one of the guest appearances on the show that week. That could be one of the many A-listers who called into Frasier’s KACL radio show or just someone who made a fleeting appearance at Cafe Nervosa.
We’ll delve into that actor’s backstory, look over their cinematic offerings and deep-dive into one movie specifically. By the end, we’ll see if we can make a connection between their character in Frasier and their character in the film we’ve just talked about.
So you’ll be hearing about icons and wash-ups. Legends and startlets. Sherry drinkers and beer guzzlers. Blockbusters and B-movies. It’s going to be an education in it all!
But what if you don’t really watch Frasier? That’s fine, you’ll probably know the actors we’re talking about. Don’t really know the actors we’re talking about? That’s fine too, you’ll know the movies! So whether you’re a fan of Frasier or you're a fan of film, this is the podcast for you.
So pull up your favourite bar stool at McGinty’s, tell the wine club you’ll be running late. Because this is Frasier On Film and I’m your host, Ben Murray.
And you’re listening…

S1E6 - Robert Klein in Two Weeks Notice (The Crucible)
"We may be barbarians, but we pay for our pillaging."
Episode 6 and it's hands down the worst film so far on this journey. I should also add a HUGE Trigger-Warning (we have a wild Donald Trump appearance). Two Weeks Notice really is as bad as it can get. But hopefully our guest this week Robert Klein can save the episode!
Timestamps:
01:30 Intro
02:47 Frasier Talk: Frasier gets egg on his face when a bald artist leads him to consider vandalising an art gallery.
10:18 Robert Klein Talk: He's a stand-up comedian, but can he act? We find out!
17:29 Two Weeks Notice Talk: Feel like this deserves a second TRUMP TRIGGER-WARNING! Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock make nice in the sickliest film on the pod so far!
Thanks for listening!
