FilmDrunk Frotcast

This week on the Frotcast, Dave Lozo from Vice Sports et. al. joins Matt, Vince, and Brendan, to talk about all the dirt dished by Quincy Jones in his latest interview. Namely, what inanimate objects did Marlon Brando and Richard Pryor have sex with while high on drugs in the 70s? Other topics include: The Cloverfield Paradox, Libertarian debate clips, Charlie Sheen and Lenny Dykstra, The Two Bill...

The big news this week is that our Frotcast co-host Matt Lieb finally got put on a list of objectionable Jews, by Wisconsin congressional candidate Paul Nehlen. Also, thanks to a video he made about the simultaneous rise of Anti-Semitism and Israel-filia in the alt-right, got called out by an atheist Canadian kangaroo on YouTube. Leading to the definining question of 2018, "why is the atheist Cana...

This week on the Frotcast, comedians Matt Lieb and Joey Avery join Vince in the studio as we bring on Matt Christman (Cushbomb) from Chapo. We discuss Boss Baby, including Christman's theory of the Boss Baby Universe, and then we do selected readings from Steven Seagal's book, The Way Of The Shadow Wolves: The Deep State and the Hijacking of America (with foreward by Joe Arpaio). What exactly does...

We ring in the first Frot of 2018 with Allison Mick, Matt Lieb, Vince Mancini, and Brendan, discussing the Golden Globes and Alex Jones's take on the "Oprah for president" meme. We talk the "raw water" movement and discover that fluoridated water is the new blood libel. We discuss some of the week's best sex scandal callouts, starting with James Franco. Would the feminists deny us "Dicknose In Par...

It's here! After another year of the Frotcast in the books, listener Schnitzel Bob edited up a compilation of this year's best bits from the Frotcast (or Schnitzel Bob's favorites, anyway). It's hard to say whether this is more of a greatest hits or a blooper reel. Or whether those things are different on the Frotcast. This has everything, from Royalty Freestyle songs to terrible accents to strang...

TO AVOID STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI SPOILERS, SKIP MINUTE 14 TO MINUTE 55. That's right, this week we're talking Star Wars: The Last Jedi, with guests Matt Lieb from The Star Wars Show, PR man and author Ed Zitron, and comedian Jacob Sirof (joining me, Vince Mancini from FilmDrunk). But first, we discuss Wyatt Koch, heir to the Koch Brothers' fortune, and his fascinating line of horrendously ugly sh...

In a special Hannukkah episode, we've invited three of our favorite Jewishes (read this with a soft J to denote respect) on the Frotcast, comedians Matt Lieb and Alison Stevenson, and showrunner Justin Halpern to join Vince and Brendan. We discuss whether Roy Moore losing was a Ben miracle (RIP), talk Inside Lacrosse's All-Name Team, and comb through the recently discovered Daily Stormer Nazi styl...

Michael Rousselet is co-director of Dude Bro Party Massacre III, which also stars Greg Sestero. Rousselet also happens to be one of the first people to discover The Room, helping to make it a cult hit, who's cr...

This week, former Film.com head critic Laremy Legel joins us to talk about the curious phenomenon of trailer reaction videos -- specifically as it relates to Avengers: Infinity Wars -- and, because it's inescapable, the latest round of sexual harassment firings. We go deep on Matt Lauer interviews to see if there were red flags we should've seen all along. We have a Tales From NPR, answer your ema...

This week on the Frotcast, the Frot-crew is all traveling, but I do have this phone interview I did with author/journalist/screenwriter Jon Ronson. Ronson is the author of So You've Been Publicly Shamed, a book about internet shaming, Men Who Stare At Goats, and the co-writer of the movie Okja, and more recently he produced a multi-part podcast called The Butterfly Effect. The Butterfly Effect tra...

Columnist Drew Magary wrote in GQ this week, "Why are all the comedy men so awful?" And was immediately deluged with indignant comedy men, averring that they were not defensive. "I am not mad, I am actually laughing." Questions remain. Is comedy especially bad or just a symptom of society? Did comedians screw up or did we screw up pretending they were sage truth tellers? Is a laugh an endorsement...

From The Fat Jew on the TRL reboot to Thor: Ragnarok (my 110% spoiler-free review), this week on the Frotcast, we ponder a future (or a present, really) where repping for the big #brands is the only way to eat. Matt Lieb and Joey Avery join Vince Mancini this week, where, naturally, there's also lots of news to discuss on the Hollywood Sexual Harassment front. Kevin Spacey, Andy Dick, Jeremy Piven...

Ex-NBA player Paul Shirley joins the Frotcast this week to talk about his new book, plus, we discuss Guy Ritchie's KING ARTHUR and do the internet's first live podcast review of "Doughp," San Francisco's first "hip hop-themed cookie dough kiosk."

Ever wondered what it's like to drive 5,000 miles scouting a location and spend eight years shooting a movie in a language you don't speak? That's the story of director Michael Matthews and writer Sean Drummond, the South African filmmakers behind Five Fingers For Marseilles, a Western set in South Africa's Eastern Cape and shot entirely in Sesotho, a Bantu language. In this week's bonus Frotcast...

If you like timely pegs for classic movies, you'll love this week's Frotcast about the 1982 Ridley Scott classic, Blade Runner. Comedian Allison Mick calls it the "un-fun Fifth Element," while Twitter's favorite PR man Ed Zitron defends Harrison Ford's extremely laconic voice over. Comedian Joey Avery just tries to get a word in every now and then. We also talk Harvey Weinstein and Terry Crews (an...

What do Harvey Weinstein, Harry Knowles, the leader of a vegan mayo cult, and Juggalos have in common? Well, probably nothing except that they're all #content on this week's Frotcast. Every week we try to be Ira Glass and we end up Harry Carey. But hey, that's why you love us, right, 13 remaining listeners?! Jk, jk, it's a great show. Comedian Joey Avery and Jane Harrison are in the studio this we...

With Allison Mick stuck in traffic, we've got Dave Lozo joining Vince and Matt Lieb on the Frotcast this week, to discuss the Tomb Raider remake, JJ Abrams, Sean Spicer at the Emmys, Hillary Clinton's terrible book, THE ACCOUNTANT, and Lawrence O'Donnel's Bill O'Reilly'style freakout.

Matt Lieb and Joey Avery are in the Frotquarters this week, to discuss the "new" Bodega app, the Charlie Sheen '9/11' movie, and of course, Ted Cruz cranking his hog.

We also do a call-in with Frotcast Hurricane Correspondent Ashley Burns, who gives us a first...

This week on the Frotcast, Justin Halpern joins for a quick story about his friend farting in Anne C0ulter's drink one time. Then comedians Joey Avery and Allison Mick join Vince Mancini in the studio, to interview Steve Bramucci about dragging Vince to Oregon Eclipse Festival/Symbiosis/Burning Man lite, as well as his new book, Danger Gang and the Pirates of Borneo, and the time he hitchhiked thr...

We couldn't get the Frotcast gang in the same room this week, but, I do have some interviews to share. The first is with SNL's Kyle Mooney and Dave McCary, who starred in (Kyle) and directed (Dave) Brigsby Bear, a strange yet sweet movie about a kid who's raised off the grid watching a TV show that his father has made just for him. We get deep with Kyle and Dave about the filmmaking process, and a...

Luc Besson's filmography includes such classics as La Femme Nikita, The Professional, The 5th Element, and... uh... Lucy, that one where Scarlett Johansson accidentally ingests some drugs and becomes the human embodiment of the galaxy brain meme. You know how you can only use 10% of your brain? What if Scarlett Johansson could use 100%? Self-hating PR pro Ed Zitron joins Brendan, Matt, and Vince t...

Republicans like to use "San Francisco" as code for everything wrong with the world, and now we're in range of North Korean nukes. Uh... does this mean we're expendable? Our guest, Matt Ufford from SB Nation (and combat veteran!), joins Vince, Matt Lieb, and Brendan to talk about nuclear threats, as well as Matt's Game of Thrones scorecards and Matt gives us a preview of this season of Hard Knocks...
