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
