comedy, movies, , , , , ,

Here is just a taste of our Patreon-Only episode of the Frotcast where Vince goes to Sundance.

Hey frotcast patrons! It’s that time of year again where Vince Mancini leaves the comfort of the Frotquarters and treks on up to Park City, Utah for the very important Sundance Film Festival. This week, Vince regales Matt with tales of the festival and talks about some of the movies he saw including one where Michael Keaton did 9/11 or something. They also talk about Bulletproof 2: the sequel nobody asked for and nobody wanted but was made anyway because that’s just how shit works out sometimes. Listen now!

Frotcast 426: Matt Mourns Kobe On Behalf Of The Tall, With Jason Webb And Jessica Sele

comedy, movies, , , ,

This week brings us a very special Frotcast, in which Matt is forced to get serious and mourn the death of his sporting hero, Kobe Bryant. We attempt to peel back the layers and find out what it is about the star basketball player that so appealed to the guy who usually only makes jokes about quicksand porn and eating butt. It turns out that part of it was because he was tall, and that there’s a special fellowship among the tall.

Our guests this week are comedians Jessica Sele and Jason Webb, who share their own Kobe reminiscences and examples of how they’ve applied the Mamba Mentality in their own lives. Other topics include Sumo wrestling, morbid parents, that front flap on the underwear, and Jason’s ineffective mission trips throughout the nation’s south. Please enjoy, and as we say on the Frotcast, when you’re here you’re family.

Frotcast 425: Tyler Perry Presents Herpes Are Forever, With Two Girls One Mic

comedy, movies, , , ,

This week on the Frotcast, we welcome Yvette d’Entremont and Alice Vaughn, from the Two Girls One Mic porncast, who discovered Matt Lieb through his status as one of the internet’s foremost quicksand p*rn enthusiasts. That’s the power of the Frotcast. Yvette and Alice are about to head off to their first AVN Awards, so we try to play AVN Awards Bingo. Now that Knives Out has been out for a while and Matt has finally seen it, we discuss the feasibility of its drug subplot with Matt, in his capacity as a former IV drug user (10 years sober, hooray for Matt!). At which point we discover that Yvette wrote her thesis on the opiate epidemic. That’s almost TOO MUCH EXPERTISE for one show. This leads into our talk about how Matt lost his verified checkmark on Twitter during the New York Times presidential endorsement kerfuffle. As one replier commented, “for Matt so loved posting that he sacrificed his only begotten checkmark.”

Finally, I regale Matt and the gang with my recap of Tyler Perry’s new Netflix movie, A Fall From Grace, which I urge everyone to watch with their friends, a truly surreal experience. We finish things off with your email questions and voicemails. Become a patron at Patreon.com/Frotcast to access all of our bonus content!

Frotcast 424: A Very Important And Respected Oscars Podcast Part 1

comedy, movies, , , , ,

Hey Frotcast friends!

It’s that time of year again where the powerful forces that control the entertainment industry all meet together in secret and use their dark power to force Matt and Vince to do a Frotcast that talks mostly about movies. That’s right, it’s OSCAR SEASON!!! The glitz, the glamour, the gallantry. The Academy Awards are the second most important event of the year next to the Grammys. And Matt and Vince have all your Oscar noms ready to dish for all you hunger-pang ridden piggies to lap up. We talk about Best Picture! We talk about Best Actress! We talk about the fact that for the second year in a row the Academy has decided it would be safer to just not have a host because it’s impossible to find a comedian who does not have a problematic past and they don’t want to risk the Oscars being #Cancelled. Matt and Vince are certain that is the reason, and it has nothing to with the fact that a comedian host might want to talk about Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, and probably Jeffrey Epstein and they were like “what do you think this is, the fucking Golden Globes?! We are far too important to be roasted.” 

Anyway it’s a very good episode about how important the Oscars are and how many wonderful movies were nominated. We just love the movies. Truly a magical experience to consume movies. Yum.

For real though, Parasite is the best. For part two, become a donor at Patreon.com/Frotcast!

Frotcast 423: Ghost Kitchens, Ghost Oscar Hosts, With Tom Dean And Jessica Sele

comedy, movies, , , , , ,

Who’s a better awards show host, Ricky Gervais or no one? Did Ricky Gervais’ Golden Globes monologue DESTROY HOLLYWEIRD LIBS or was he just takin’ the piss, mate?This week we transition from discussing this year’s host-free Oscars (ghost awards show hosts!) to the ex-Uber CEO Travis Kalanick’s big plans for “ghost kitchens,” where you can order algorithm-inspired food prepared by contract workers on an app funded by the Saudis. Yum, I love A/B testing! One of Kalanick’s Galaxy Brainchildren is apparently called “Bitch Don’t Grill My Cheese,” a name so idiotic it’s been stuck in my head all week. Now it’s your turn to be annoyed! You’re welcome!

Our guests this week include screenwriter Tom Dean and comedian Jessica Sele. We’re talking awards season, ghost kitchens, and the new plan to use artificial intelligence to decide which movies to greenlight. Yes, this is a real thing that’s happening. Is it just me or do we live in the stupidest possible future? Once we tire of that we reminisce about Batman Returns, the most gloriously weird superhero movie ever made. Was Tim Burton’s big idea for the Penguin that he just act like an actual penguin? Having flippers for hands and eating fish and shit? That was awesome.
