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…
