About this listen

This week, Ben and Rob slam right into The Fanatic (2019), the bizarre thriller directed by Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst and starring John Travolta and Devon Sawa. It’s a fever dream of celebrity obsession, questionable choices, and Nu-Metal energy that has us all asking: why was this film even made?

What on earth were Travolta and Sawa thinking? Is The Fanatic based on a true story, or just Fred Durst’s wild imagination? And the real kicker—is it good, bad, or that sweet spot of so-bad-it’s-good? Maybe it even succeeds on its own bonkers B-movie terms.

The lads dig into why this film is amazing (yes, amazing), what it really means beneath the awkward line deliveries and Limp Bizkit Easter eggs, and whether The Fanatic is destined to become the next funnybad cult classic for nu-metal survivors everywhere.
