  • 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…

  • S1E5 - Robert Klein in Two Weeks Notice (The Crucible)
    2025/02/13

    "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!

  • S1E5 - Jeff Daniels in Arachnophobia (Here's Looking At You)
    2025/01/31

    "There are a million stories in the naked city. Now if we could just find a naked one."


    Episode 5 and I hope you're ready to unpack and rehash some childhood phobias and traumas because we're about to explore Jeff Daniels (yes, he of Dumb And Dumber fame), by way of revisiting Arachnophobia!

    Timestamps:

    01:30 Intro

    02:43 Frasier Talk: Frasier proves he is light years ahead of streaming platforms like Netflix, by combining telescopes and a desire for interesting stories in the building opposite!

    10:57: Jeff Daniels Talk: Our first proper genuinely nice guy on the podcast? Let's find out as we work out how he balanced agents trying to prime him for his first Oscar-nomination alongside his desire to star alongside Jim Carrey and a bunch of New Zaaland tarantulas.

    19:30 Arachnophobia Talk: The thrill-omedy that both terrifies and delights decades later. Why? Big ass spiders all over almost every frame. Real ones. And John Goodman doing a SpiderBuster impression too. Fear is real.

    Thanks for listening!

  • S1E4 - Joe Mantegna in Homicide (I Hate Frasier Crane)
    2025/01/18

    "All that's missing is a mariachi band!"

    Episode 4 and we tackle more than a few prickly issues today as we deep dive into Joe Mantegna's career (courtesy of a few David Mamet sidebars). Yes, most of us know him for his cartoonish embodiment of Fat Tony on The Simpsons. But how does he hold up as an actor in his own right? And what can we make of his politics?

    Timestamps:

    01:30 Intro

    03:03 Frasier Talk: Frasier has to decide if he's man or chicken, when he's challenged to a fight by newspaper columnist Derek Mann(tegna)!

    08:36: Joe Mantegna Talk: Gangster on screen, gangster in animated form, gangster in the sheets? We'll find out as we trace his path from Joey Zasa to Fat Tony and beyond.

    16:45 Homicide Talk: Mamet wrote and directed this complex exploration of Jewishness, Zionism, Anti-Semitism and everything in-between, through the eyes of Joe Mantegna's beaten down detective. What could possibly go wrong?

    (That full Mantegna interview I refer to in this episode can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa2ZNXv6VZk)
