This week on the Frotcast, Pod Yourself A Gun producer Brent Flyberg joins us for a pod about thievery and robots. There’s a bit about Karina Longworth, getting pitched on a pay-for-play listicle to be posted in the publication she used to work for. Then we read an article about “10 Sci-Fi Movies That Aged Poorly” and try to figure out if it was written by a person or AI. Finally we discuss Telemarketers, about sketchy telemarketing firms, who are now using dead people’s voices to solicit money under the guise of police, cancer patients, and the troops. It’s a brave new world! Also, there are jokes.

TEASER – Frotcast 556: The Four Levels Of A Competitor, with Sean Keane



New teaser! For the full episode, sign up for the Patreon at Patreon dot com slash Frotcast. You’ll get access to all of our premium episodes! It’s so much listening to do!

This week Matt and Vince welcome Sean Keane from Roundball Rock back to the virtual frotquarters just hours before his European vacation. We talk about the lady who wouldn’t let her husband watch the nudity in Oppenheimer, and whether this is anti-sex scene discourse or just recovering sex addition discourse. Then we shift into the magical world of AI porn, in which a simple request like “hands on hips” will make your lady’s horse penis disappear, and no one wants that. Well, maybe a few people do. Then we ask Sean about Hard Knocks, the four levels of competitor, and whether coaches and business leaders are any different anymore. And of course, there are some good Trump clips.


Frotcast 555 – Justice for the Axe Pilot, with Francesca Fiorentini



Well hey, would you look at that, a free Frotcast! Matt and Francesca are in Fresno with Vince Mancini and do a quick little in-person Frotcast while baby Carina is asleep. We open this week discussing the pilot who chopped down a parking garage gate because it was pissing him off. He’s been charged with criminal mischief and suspended from work, but we will happily donate to his legal defense because we believe this man is all of us, fighting back against automation that doesn’t work and taking a few whacks for the human spirit. Meanwhile, we talk about what could’ve possibly made Britney Spears divorce her CGI husband and read a hilarious old profile about Mr. Spears’ two feuding Svengalis. It’s a fun time! Listen and share so we can get more piggies!

Frotcast 548 – Frotting meets Doc-ing, with Billy Corben and Alfred Spellman



This week Matt and Vince welcome master documentarians Billy Corben and Alfred Spellman from Rakontur Productions to the Frot to discuss the latest in Florida F*ckery. Billy and Alfred have become the documentarians laureate of South Florida with their films 537 Votes, Screwball, Dawg Fight, Cocaine Cowboys, The U, and God Forbid (et. al). These days, they’re working on From Russia With Lev, a feature doc about shady Trump/Giuliani associate turned turncoat Lev Parnas, and A Sunny Place for Shady People, a series of mini documentaries with Dan Le Batard that will look at scandals around the Miami area. More importantly, they’re great talkers, so we pick their brains about Florida scandals, the documentary-industrial complex, and something that in four previous interviews I’ve always forgotten to ask Billy about, his past as a child actor.
Plus, Vince and Matt discuss The Curious Case Of Natalia Grace, the most messed up, infuriating docuseries ever made.

Frotcast 546 – The Idol AKA 50 Shades of Entourage, with Sam Haft [UNLOCKED]



Here’s our past Frotcast, now unlocked for your free listening pleasure, about HBO’s The Idol with guest Sam Haft, songwriter and half of the band the Living Tombstone.


Teaser – Frotcast Watches HBO’s The Idol With Sam Haft



The Frotcast reviews HBO’s ‘The Idol’ on this week’s podcast, with guest Sam Haft from The Living Tombstone. ‘The Idol’ stars Johnny Depp-spawn Lily Rose-Depp and pop star The Weeknd, aka Abel Tesfaye, whose actual house is the location for the show. It adds to the growing Sam Levinson oeuvre, the brainchild of Barry Levinson’s director son who seems to really love filming naked ladies with strobey visuals and bombastic scores. Bret called ‘The Idol’ “50 Shades of Entourage” on our text chain. We will defend Sam Levinson’s right to film other famous kids naked and horny art in general, even if we can’t entirely stand behind this show. Subscribe on Patreon for the full episode!

Other topics include the British guy in hot water for his eggplant statement and the Jason Momoa/Vin Dieself beef.


Frotcast 545: ‘Air’ With Joey Devine



The Frotcast is back with another together-in-the-studio episode! It was just like old times this week, with Vince in LA to record live with Matt at Frot Studio South, and Roundball Rock host Joey Devine guesting, to talk about an actual movie.

This week we all saw Air, the heartwarming story of how Sonny Vaccaro got Michael Jordan to come to Nike starring Matt Damon as Vaccaro and Ben Affleck (who also directed) as Nike’s Phil Knight. Is Ben Affleck a good director? Do all 80s movies look the same now? Does Nike really need a puff piece? We answer all these questions and more.

If you don’t care about that, don’t worry, we have many other topics to discuss as well. We breakdown Johnny Depp’s deranged Q&A from Cannes, Mark Wahlberg’s incredible prayer video, and had Joey and Matt try to guess what movie analogy Elon Musk would reach for to try to explain his posting. Oh, and Jude Law had a perfume made from doo-doo because method acting! You’re going to love it. Also, there’s a video version on our YouTube page if you want also to see our dumb faces.
