"Dear God Frasier, we've stumbled upon Hell's waiting room."

It's mega-length episode time, which can only mean I've been joined by a guest for this week's episode. Justin Webb from the very excellent Record Rotations podcast (https://www.instagram.com/record_rotations/) joins me to discuss Frasier, Malcolm McDowell, and his first time watch of A Clockwork Orange!

08:56 Frasier Talk: Frasier breaks martin's heart when he swaps his duct-tape ridden chair for a vibrating black leather monstrosity.

25:50 Malcolm McDowell Talk: The man really needs no introduction but we cover everything in his cinematic career in addition to his upbringing in a pub through to his current disdain of the UK!

42:30 A Clockwork Orange Talk: I could discuss this film every day, all day, for the rest of my life - and still not cover the same topics once. A pinnacle of audacious filmmaking and a first time watch for Justin!

"Dr. Crane, your glockenspiel has sprung to life!"

Welcome to Frasier on Video Games! Yes - what if Frasier was a point and click adventure from the mid-90s? This is an exciting one folks - our man of the hour Dean Erickson hasn't really acted in anything other than Frasier and this absolute cult favourite video game from the 90s. So strap in as we play-along for the first few hours of the game.

A truly nostalgic indulgent episode for me, but also a chance to explore a man whose been involved in investment banking, songwriting and self-help!

04:00 Frasier Talk: Niles is jealous because Daphne is dating Cafe Nervosa waiter Eric The Red (Dean Erickson). It ends like all good Emily Bronte stories should. In negliges and thunderstorms.

11:18 Dean Erickson Talk: You either know him for Frasier or you know him for Gabriel Knight. Now... I know for him both. Know him better with me!

17:52 Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within Talk: Easily the most fun I've had covering something for this podcast. And it ain't even a film!!!

"No, Maris is a little strange. Lilith... is weird!"

Finally a core cast member gets their moment in the sun! And this one needs it. It's the ice queen herself, Lilith. Or should I say Bebe Neuwirth. The very lovely Bebe Neuwirth so lets not have any barbs or attacks like the character she played on the show would get.

We'll be covering the entirety of her career, from her casting in Cheers through to her progression to Queen of Broadway. The film we'll be focusing on is the Alec Baldwin/Nicole Kidman thriller Malice. An old favourite and a must watch!

01:30 Intro

03:00 Frasier Talk: Frasier may have moved halfway across the country but Lilith has found him. The first of many excellent episodes guest starring Bebe Neuwirth.

14:45 Bebe Neuwirth Talk: Absolutely fascinating backstory to one of Frasier's most iconic characters. It's all explored as we cover her Cheers audition through to her reappearance as a series regular on the spinoff.

23:57 Malice Talk: "You ask me if I have a God complex? Let me tell you something - I am God!" - Need I say more?

"That would have been a very dramatic exit, if only her room was down that hall."

Well this episode is at threat of having the main guest, Robert Miano, overshadowed by the recent death of Michael Madsen. Miano is our focus though, the Sonny Red to Michael Madsen's Sonny Black in this episodes spotlight movie; Donnie Brasco.

Miano is also an on screen guest in this week's episode of Frasier. There's a theme somewhere in the roles he chooses clearly!

01:30 Intro

03:02 Frasier Talk: Frasier embarrasses himself and almost everyone else in this episode as he bets his father he can spot which of his poker buddies used to be in jail.

22:17 Donnie Brasco Talk: One of the greatest gangster films ever made - and it's all TRUE!

"No way... No way... No... Way!"

No the podcast isn't over! Yes I am still alive... Yes, the responsibilities of researching, hosting, editing and releasing this show solo are becoming painfully apparent. Thanks for listening!

Here's a fun one for you Frasier fans and fans of 80s nostalgia movies. First time watch of the cult favourite The Monster Squad for me, as we dive into Ashley Bank's career - famous for eating cookie dough with Frasier after cutting him down to size!

Timestamps:

01:30 Intro

03:47 Frasier Talk: Frasier's body is on the line for the highest bidder in this week's episode. But being bought comes with some... complications.

14:45 Ashley Bank Talk: A blind spot of an actress whose career is arguably more fascinating off camera rather than on!

23:57 The Monster Squad Talk: A cult classic and favourite of many - Goonies and Ghostbusters inspired for sure. But does it hold up for a 21st century first time watch?

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!
