316: Nocturnal Animals and Butt Stuff, with Matt Lieb and Laremy Legel

comedy, movies

It’s Thanksgiving week, and since you’ll probably be going home to your families, we discussed Nocturnal Animals, Tom Ford’s accidental parody of how yuppies view rednecks and vice versa. Also, to help you work up an appetite, we talked a lot about impending butthole surgeries. Pretty typical Frotcast, really. Guests include Seattle’s finest film critic Laremy Legel and the Star Wars Show’s Matt Lieb (also of Flophouse and Newsbroke) joining Brendan and Vince in the studio. Thanks, and Frot on.

315: Army Of One, With Jen Yamato & Evan Saathoff

movies

This week on the Frotcast, Brendan, Matt, and Bret are off, but Jen Yamato from the Daily Beast and Evan Saathoff from Birth, Movies, Death are on the line to discuss ‘Army of One,’ this week’s Nic Cage release. Is this Nic Cage’s craziest performance to date? What other movies are in the conversation? What the hell is going on with this bizarre movie? We also discuss Gary Faulkner, the real-life “Rocky Mountain Rambo” upon whom the movie was based, and his life traveling to Pakistan to hunt Osama Bin Laden while on dialysis. Also, the fact that Nic Cage’s insane voice in Army of One sounds nothing like Gary Faulkner’s. Enjoy.

Frotcast 313: ‘Weiner’ And Borat, With Matt Lieb And Joe Sinclitico

comedy, movies

Anthony Weiner was back in the news recently, sort of, so we take a look back on the incredible political documentary ‘Weiner,’ and see if it feels any different now, knowing what we know about him. After that we discuss ‘Borat,’ which turns 10 years old this week. Then we have Crystal Corner, which isn’t strictly about crystals this week, but adult Summer camp, which seems at least crystal adjacent. Guests include comedian Matt Lieb from Flophouse and the Star Wars Show, and Joe Sinclitico from Adam Devine’s House Party, with Vince Mancini and Brendan in the studio. Other topics include: whose bloated corpse does Ted Cruz most resemble, and would Rachel Dolezal be considered a f*ckboy.

Intro – Matt loudly sips tea, Joe raps, and we start talking ‘Weiner.’
17:47 – We argue over whose bloated corpse Ted Cruz resembles #HotCarDad
37:19 – It’s the 10th anniversary of Borat! So we talk about that. 
44:45 – Which Borat characters we feel the worst for
54:00 – We argue over whether a f*ckboi is different than a sadboi. What is a f*ckboi, anyway?
55:54 – “Is Rachel Dolezal a f*ckboi?” A Joe Sinclitico segment.
58:40 – CRYSTAL CORNER, which, this week, is actually an incredible article about an adult camp. 
1:15:00 – The perils of traveling alone
