Frotcast 205: Director Ti West from ‘The Sacrament’

comedy, movies

The Sacrament opens June 6th, and director Ti West joins us to talk about the process of getting it made, and of becoming a filmmaker in general. Ti’s one of the few people in the world as fanatical about MMA as Vince, so we naturally talk about Wanderlei and Vitor for a while. I saw A Million Ways To Die In The West and we talk about Seth MacFarlane, whether a reference is considered a joke, and having the balls to write yourself into a love triangle between Amanda Seyfried and Charlize Theron. Which of course brings up the Elliot Rodger/Anne Hornaday/Seth Rogen dynamic. So topics. Much conversate. Wow.

comedy, pop culture, sports

Former NBA player Paul Shirley joins us at the top of the frot this week to talk about Donald Sterling and all the actual racist stuff he’s done vs. the weird stuff he said to his mistress that he actually got in trouble for. Questions include: is falling all over yourself to condemn him a case of thou dost protest too much? And is it better to have honest racists or racists who are smart enough to censor themselves? After that, we talk about the “botched” execution and the idea of cognitive dissonance in general, and then we get a visit from Ben, live from Thailand. He tells us about partying with monkeys and the beach where they shot The Beach, and we wrap things up with Film.com’s Laremy Legel on the subject of Short Term 12.

Then we bring on everyone’s favorite glib lesbian, Heather.

comedy, movies

William Head is a San Francisco comedian and filmmaker by night, gay porn editor by day. We talk to him about what it’s like being a straight man who edits gay porn, and how he came upon such a lifestyle. We discuss Vice’s “Why San Francisco Is The Worst City Ever” article, our personal experience with such things, and San Francisco stereotypes in general, such as the “City Full of Hall Monitors” assessment that we coined a while ago. This brings us to our initial impressions of HBO’s Bay Area-based new show, Silicon Valley. Ben and I discuss/argue Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and we pitch Dikembe Mutombo as David Letterman’s replacement. Tell me you wouldn’t watch that.

This week’s Frot crew: FilmDrunk Editor Vince Mancini, Ben, Brendan, and San Francisco comedian Matt Lieb. Frot on! Wish Ben luck, this will be has last in-frotquarters ‘cast for at least four months.
