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…
Frasier On Film
S1E12 - Ben Stiller in Permanent Midnight (Miracle on 3rd or 4th Street)
How much more appetizing food always becomes when you add the word "log."
What's this? Christmas in May? Well this is what happens when you plan way in advance. You end up recording a Christmas episode in December but releasing it in Spring. But who cares? We could all use a little Christmas spirit throughout the year. Nobody more, than the miserable wretch that Ben Stiller plays in this week's film of the week!
Timestamps:
01:30 Intro
04:00 Frasier Talk: Frasier blows up with Martin and ends up in almost ruining his Christmas. But a turkey log, some ripped denims and some Christmas spirit might just save the day.
14:30 Ben Stiller Talk: He was a comedy legend of the late 90s but of late he's switched his focus to behind the camera. Yes - everyone loves Severance - but do you know how and why he got into the business in the first place?
28:00 Permanent Midnight Talk: This is absolutely NOT a Christmas film!
Thanks for listening!
