Brian and Jerome are celebrating another Oscar winner from this year’s awards and it’s Brendan Fraser. More specifically, his films from the 90’s.
We start with a breakout performance in a goofy, teen movie that millions of people remember from their childhood. It’s Enicno Man from 1992. Does the movie hold up? Nope, but that’s okay. It’s still fun to look back on.
