    House of D

    Robin Williams plays a man with special needs who befriends a 13-year-old Anton Yelchin in 1970's era New York. That's about all we can really say about this movie since nothing else really happens. House of D? More like House of DISASTER...

    The Final Cut

    A futuristic sci-fi drama about a brain implant technology that records your entire life, so that when you die, these editors known as "Cutters" splice and edit your entire life down to a feature length movie that plays at your funeral. Seems like an interesting concept for so many sci-fi movies and tv shows that could really go deep into its ramifications and cultural impacts, sadly this movie does not seem that committed to exploring those ideas.

    A Very Travolting Christmas 5: Noel

    It's that time of the year everybody! We are back for our FIFTH Christmas episode for the Travolting podcast. This year we have a special treat because for this season we were given a very special gift that in our episode release schedule it just so happened that we were building up to a Christmas movie Robin Williams played a part in at the perfect time! Jeff and Stuart talk about the 2004 Hallmark-esque Christmas movie: Noel. Featuring as well, a very special appearance by our old friend John Travolta in his new Capital One Christmas Ad. Truly is the holiday season.

    The Rutles 2: Can't Buy Me Lunch

    A mockumentary sequel to a mockumentary about a fake Beatles parody band, only this time we are looking back at the influence and impact of The Rutles which features a multitude of A-list celebrity interviews, which is how we got roped in to covering this movie. None of us had seen the first Rutles movie: All You Need Is Cash.

    Insomnia

    During Robin's "Evil Trilogy" era, he plays a murderer trying to coerce a very sleepy detective Al Pacino into helping him cover up his crime. A very standard old cat and mouse "who dun it" kind of movie except for one important detail. It's directed by up and coming director at the time, Christopher Nolan.

    Death to Smoochy

    Robin plays Rainbow Randolph, a colorful children's TV Show Host that gets cancelled from the network and replaced with Edward Norton's Smoochy the Rhino. Rainbow Randolph does not take this well and vows an oath of vengeance to send the rhino straight to the deepest pit of hell. A lovely little black comedy.
