Blast From The Past (1999)
from No More Late Fees Hosted by No More Late Fees
This week on No More Late Fees, Danielle and Jackie are joined by returning guest Maria (host of Maria Watches Everything) to revisit the 1999 rom-com Blast From the Past starring Brendan Fraser and Alicia Silverstone. After being raised in a fallout shelter for 35 years, Adam Weber finally emerges into the late-90s world with perfect manners, old-school charm, and absolutely no idea how modern society works. When he meets Eve, a street-smart woman trying to navigate life in Los Angeles, the two form an unlikely connection while Adam searches for supplies, and maybe even love. We dive into Brendan Fraser’s unforgettable performance, the movie’s fish-out-of-water comedy, 90s nostalgia, and whether this underrated rom-com still holds up today. Plus we discuss: • Our original Y2K ratings vs today • Brendan Fraser’s career • Alicia Silverstone post-Clueless era • The stacked 1999 box office • That iconic swing dancing scene Season 5 Episode 37· — No More Late Fees https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com 909-601-NMLF (6653) — Follow Us on Social: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nomorelatefees TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@nomorelatefees Facebook https://www.facebook.com/nomorelatefees Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@nomorelatefees Twitter https://x.com/NoMoreLateFees — CONQUERing myconquering.com 10% Off Code: JACKIE10 — NostaBeauty https://nostabeauty.com 20% Off Code: NMLF — Descript Creator Plan 50% off 2 months https://descript.cello.so/zp4OQqeIMdq — Maria Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mariawatcheseverything/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@mariawatcheseverything — Maria’s Previous Episodes Bend it Like Beckham https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/bend-it-like-beckham Kickin’ it with Maria https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/kickin-it-with-maria Holes https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/holes Diggin’ it with Maria https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/diggin-it-with-maria Star Wars Episode 2 - Attack of the Clones https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/star-wars-episode-2-attack-of-the-clones Villain Worship: Ranking the Hottest Movie Baddies with Maria https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/villain-worship-ranking-the-hottest-movie-baddies-with-maria Star Wars Episode 3 - Revenge of the Sith https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/star-wars-episode-iii-revenge-of-the-sith Swipe Right on the Dark Side https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/swipe-right-on-the-dark-side-with-maria
