S18E2: Tubthumping | Brendan Fraser

Newly minted Academy Award winner Brendan Fraser certainly couldn’t have predicted the twists and turns his life and career would take when he burst onto movie screens in the 1990s. After battling injuries, the emotional scars from a sexual assault, and an acrimonious end to his marriage, suddenly, Brendan’s lost decade or so came to a crashing halt with his acclaimed, and much awarded, role in 2022’s The Whale. Stacie has this shining reminder that sometimes good guys do finish first.
