FilmDrunk Frotcast

What is up Frotcast Fans,  It is your favorite cancer patient Ben. Unfortunately, I did not join the crew for this Frotcast. The chemo has me feeling pretty crappy. Fear not- Vince, Bret and Burnsy held it down. Also- I am getting through this chemo crap, just not the most fun thing I have ever done. Thank you all for the support, kind words and concern. The internet love warms this cold Jew's hea...

Bit of a departure from your usual Frotcast this week, as Ben had to fly straight from Chicago to Seattle for a work retreat, and he had the mixers and mics in his bag.
