Pauly Shore might’ve been the star of Encino Man, but it is his co-stars, Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan, who are nominated for Oscars this year.
How does the comedian feel about them being up for Oscar gold? “I’m very excited for my two costars from Encino Man; both nominated this year for Oscars. It’s quite remarkable. It’s an insane story. These guys — what a comeback. It’s almost like they were in Encino Man, they dethawed them, and they’re coming back to life, he told Good Morning America. “Congratulations, guys. Good luck, bros.”
Shore says he is going to watch the Oscars on Sunday to see if Quan wins Best Supporting Actor for Everything, Everywhere, All at Once and Fraser for Best Actor in The Whale.
Hopefully, they will each bring home an Oscar statuette and decide to make Encino Man 2 with Shore and past Oscar nominee Sean Astin. Maybe it will get The Weasle a nom from the Academy Awards so that he can have one like his co-stars.
Who would’ve thought that Encino Man would turn out so many people worthy of Oscars?
Encino Man was a fun movie. However, there was nothing Oscar-caliber about it.
Alas, that was 30 years ago, and today Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan found out that they are Oscar-worthy. Fraser is nominated for Best Lead Actor for The Whale, and Quan could take home Best Supporting Actor for Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. Not bad for a defrosted caveman and a computer nerd!
They are not the only actors from the 1992 film to receive a nomination from the Academy Awards. Sean Astin was nominated in 1995 for Best Short Film, Live Action for Kangaroo Court.
How is Pauly Shore going to weasel his way into getting a nomination? We shall see!

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always thought that Brendan Fraser’s last name was pronounced as Fray-zhur. And we were wrong.
Fraser told Adam Sandler during Variety’s Actors on Actors (which isn’t what I thought it was) that it is actually pronounced Fray-zer.
I don’t mean to insult him, but he can’t teach this old dog a new trick. So, I will keep saying his name incorrectly. Although, I will try to pronounce it as he pronounced it. Are you going to do the same?
It has been 25 years since George of the Jungle came out, and now the movie’s lead is apologizing to San Fransisco.
Over the weekend, Brendan Fraser’s new movie Whale played at the Mill Valley Film Festival, and he had a message for the locals. He told them, “My bad. It won’t happen again.”
What was his bad? There was a scene where Geroge of the Jungle had to save a man whose parachute got stuck on the Golden Gate Bridge. Since the movie had the budget, they used the real SF landmark. However, they used a fake man in a parachute.
Well, San Franciscans believed it was a real man, so they stopped traffic to watch as his fate unfolded. They weren’t the only ones, so did the local news. They broke into The Oprah Winfrey Show to report on the parachutist. And that is real fake news for those of you who scream fake news.
Anyways, Fraser is sorry and will not film another harrowing scene from the Golden Gate Bridge again.

No butts about it, season 4 of Doom Patrol is going to be the butt of all jokes. So be prepared for the toilet humor as Cliff Steele (Brendan Fraser), “Negative Man” aka Larry Trainor (Matt Bomer), “Elasti-Woman” aka Rita Farr (April Bowlby), “Crazy Jane” (Diane Guerrero), “Cyborg” aka Victor Stone (Joivan Wade), joined by former super-villain “Madame Rouge” aka Laura de Mille (Michelle Gomez) take on an army of asses starting on December 8th.
Seriously, is there anything else you need to know about the season to watch it on HBO Max? I didn’t think so.
But if you do need a little more, then here it is. Season 4 opens with the team unexpectedly traveling to the future to find an unwelcome surprise. Faced with their imminent demise, the Doom Patrol must decide once and for all which is more important: their own happiness or the fate of the world?
But let’s be honest. We are all tuning in for the singing and dancing butts!!! With them, you know it is not going to be a shitty season. That is unless there are no toilets, and they relieve themselves all over the place.
