Robin Williams plays... well... a slightly grumpy man... in Brooklyn. After being given only 90 minutes left to live, Robin goes all over Brooklyn trying to make amends with all of the people he wronged in his life.

Robin's last dramatic role is about a man who feels as though his entire life has been a lie and sets out on a course of rediscovery.

Robin Williams plays one of the five presidents in a story about a White House Butler making an impact on how each President handles and reacts to the civil rights movement. Williams, as President Dwight Eisenhower, is one of the first faces we see through the protagonist starting his journey at the West Wing.

This small budget drama is about a widow who meets a man who looks exactly like her dead husband and starts a romantic relationship with him. What could possibly go wrong?? Joined by very special guest, Victor Macias, who was one of the camera operators on the production.

An all-star cast featuring a reunion between Robin Williams and Robert De Niro, The Big Wedding offers a couple laughs for the casual viewer but nothing of any further substance such as a cohesive plot.

In 2006, George Miller directed an animated film about singing and dancing penguins. Five years later, the penguins are back, and they need our help.

You read that title right. We covered this movie back in March 2022 when it was the Travolting season. Well now we're giving it a rewatch and a reassessment, this time focusing on Robin Williams!

After a two episode hiatus from Robin we return to his first and only appearance in the classic animated series, Spongebob Squarepants.

Fraser's newest project which takes him to the role of General Dwight D. Eisenhower just days before D-Day in World War 2. All of the "pressure" is on Eisenhower to make this invasion happen soon to save the world as they know it, but wouldn't you know it... it's gonna rain...

You might be looking at the title of this episode and thinking: "wait a minute, John Travolta's book he wrote way back in the 90s?". Well now our boy is making his directorial debut by adapting his fable for all ages to the screen. John does more than wear an interesting hat in this movie we can tell ya that!

"An Old Dog can't learn new tricks". Ever since Patch Adams, Robin's career had taken a major shift. From his blank check/post-oscar trilogy, to his evil-dark trilogy, to his family comedy roles; Robin's career goes from it's highest to its lowest in a decade. Jeff and Stuart talk about where Robin was, where he is now, and where he's heading.

We're back with the sequel, only this time we travel to the Smithsonian where Robin Williams gets maybe three scenes max in this movie, one which he's a bronze statue with no limbs. In this movie you will be tested on the strange world-building properties of the mystical tablet that brings all of the exhibits to life. What's the tablets range? Does it reach through walls, tunnels and other buildings? How come Ben Stiller doesn't just deactivate the tablet at the beginning of this movie like Dick Van Dyke does in the first one?? None of these questions will have answers.

Robin Williams plays Jack Holden, an actor whose career has gone down the drain and is struggling to cope with his addictive tendencies. Hmm...

Our second Bobcat Goldthwait and Robin Williams collaboration, only instead of killer clowns and mimes we have... an incel. Oh dear.

11-year-old August Rush, a musical prodigy who runs away from his group home to New York City to search for his long lost parents using the power of music which brings everybody together. For a movie as whimsical and fantastical as this would seem, Robin Williams' 'Wizard' character sure doesn't seem to add that much whimsy.
