Bonus: ‘Five Fingers For Marseilles’ Filmmakers Michael Matthews and Sean Drummond



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 #content, my interview with Matthews and Drummond about the creation of their movie. Will you ever get to see it? Sorry, no idea, but it’s a cool story whatever the case. Subscribe to the Frotcast on iTunes, donate at Patreon.com/Frotcast. (Apologies for the sound quality this week, the handheld mics are noisier than what we usually use). 


347: Blade Runner (1982) With Ed Zitron



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 (and Rob Schneider and Seth MacFarlane), and Eminem’s Trump diss track. It’s extremely #content and incredibly blah blah blah. It’s not our best work but it’s free. 


346: The Year Of Hollywood Sex Scandals



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 week, with Matt Lieb (LA Matt) and Vince Mancini. Donate at Patreon.com/Frotcast, Frot on and enjoy and please Frot responsibly.
