"They've already looked up your skirt and they've seen everything there is to see."
It's a crossover episode which means it's a BUMPER episode! I'm joined by my best friend and long-term podcasting partner FilmBusters Paul (of @filmbusterspod @dcandproud fame) for this episode which dives deep into a classic episode of Frasier, a fascinating woman and an iconic film.

01:30 Intro
04:12 Frasier Talk: Martin's caught being a dirty dog... Or is there more to the story than meets the eye?
11:55 JoBeth Williams Talk: Genuinely fascinating insight a woman who has done more for female filmmakers and storytellers than most have, with her influence predominantly being behind the scenes.
27:30 Poltergeist Talk: Is it a Tobe Hooper or a Stephen Spielberg film? Is it even... a good film? Listen to Paul and I dissect and compare notes on the infamous classic.

Previous Episode
S1E7 - Bruno Kirby in The Freshman (Call Me Irresponsible)
"What's your stomach have to say about this?"
Episode 7 and I cannot believe this film is not better known. We may be focusing on Bruno Kirby this week, and all respect due to him, but it's Marlon Brando's appearance in The Freshman which will steal the conversation. It's basically the Don Corleone all over again. Played for laughs - but played entirely straight. Who else but Joe Pesci's sound-alike could be our reason for visiting this insane cinematic offering?

01:30 Intro
03:08 Frasier Talk: Frasier crosses some moral and ethical lines when he starts dating a caller's ex-girlfriend.
09:30 Bruno Kirby Talk: The guy may immediately make you think of gangster films with that voice, but he's far more versatile than that!
16:30 The Freshman Talk: In case I haven't stressed it enough - DON CORLEONE LIVES! Brando, Broderick and Bruno - together!

S1E9 - Carl Reiner in The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming (Selling Out)
"You make me want to stuff my face full of egg rolls and... I don't know what."
It's time to reach back into the past and check out one of the few Carl Reiner feature film performances. Russian suspicion, conspiracy and full-blown panic are afoot... But it's OK, because Alan Arkin has a funny moustache! Meanwhile, over on Frasier, we get the first appearance from the deliciously devilish Harriet Sansom Harris as Frasier's agent Bebe Glazer.
