Two-time Academy Award-winner Jodie Foster says that her “number one” film that every moviegoer should experience is Team America: World Police, an expert opinion that deserves to be held in the highest regard — after all, she’s probably a part of the Film Actors’ Guild.
Over her half century-plus career at the forefront of film and television, Foster has appeared in a number of movies that many cinephiles would likely list among their most highly recommended. Between Taxi Driver, Silence of the Lambs and Contact alone, Foster’s fingerprints are all over film history, and it would be safe to assume that her personal taste in entertainment is at least as refined and high-brow as her IMDb page.
Following beloved actor John Mahoney’s passing away in 2018, Kelsey Grammer paid homage to his on-screen father by putting his name on the bar-that’s-not-Cheers in which much of the Frasier reboot is set. Now Grammer’s telling us that Mahoney’s Taproom is haunted.
We’ve come to realize that Grammer himself doesn’t quite have the temperament or sensibilities of the astoundingly sensible if not tragically horny radio psychiatrist whom he is best known for playing. Frasier Crane’s clinically practical approach to his personal and professional life is at odds with Grammer’s own “holistic” methods – like when he said that the goal of his TV career has been to “elevate the human experience” as guided by his deeply held religious convictions. Those beliefs, apparently, include a trust in psychics and mediums who, Grammer claims, have conjured an unusual positive review to bolster the Frasier reboot’s lackluster Rotten Tomatoes score.
