This week, we welcome Somerville, Mass’s finest (don’t say Boston…), comedian Steve Post to talk about the Edward Snowden documentary CitizenFour (as well as the upcoming Oliver Stone biopic and Oliver Stone movies in general). We also Skype in Ben from Costa Rica to talk about his Kickstarter project, his post-testicular cancer vision quest and current swing through Central America. He updates us on staying fit and the backpacking ladies, we get in deep to talk about the Oxy epidemic that drove Steve Post to leave Somerville, talk about Matt Lieb’s latest Xfinity commercial and getting “shrunk” in a Nature Valley commercial. Then Steve one-ups him with his story about playing a bartender in a Silicon Valley episode, thanks to his nine years of actual bartending experience.

This week on the Frotcast, comedian Jane Harrison joins Matt Lieb, Vince, and Bret in the Frotquarters. We open talking about Mystique from X-Men being the perfect woman, which leads us to the appeal of ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ and pretty much all things porn – watching it, guilt surrounding it, evolution of desires, the search for novelty, whether the younger generation’s ideas about sex have been skewed by, whether it changes intimacy in a relationship, etc. etc. It just sort of happened. We also talk about the Oscars and pitch a TV show about Matt Lieb and his silicone sex butt, which he kept in his closet when he lived with his mom. Matt Lieb is a sick, sick, man.

We open this week’s show discussing Matt Lieb’s romantic Valentine’s Day on Snuggly Rock, which leads in to other Valentine’s Day stories, and whether we feel pressure to have sex when we can hear lots of sex happening around us. I read the infamous Jack White Guacamole Letter of 2015 and we discuss whether Jack White realizes how insane he sounds. Bret hadn’t heard us talk about Jupiter “Bees Recognize Royalty” Ascending yet, and we discuss whether Mila Kunis being able to control bees counts as a Beeus Ex Machina, or if it’s more of a Chekhov’s Bees kind of situation. We get into SNL 40, with the big question being, should they have invited Sarah Palin on and thus be complicit in making her look like a good sport? Then we bring on Brian Abrams to discuss his new book, ‘Party Like A President: True Tales of Inebriation, Lechery, and Mischief From the Oval Office,’ and to talk about ‘Wetlands,’ the infamous German vagina movie that’s now on Netflix. The big question about Wetlands seems to be: does punk rock need a political agenda, or can it just be taking a dump onstage purely for the pleasure of taking a dump?

American Sniper was the big topic this week, so we all saw it, and invited on my former co-worker and roommate, SB Nation’s Matt Ufford, Marine veteran, and host of the new podcast The Inactives. Is the movie any good? Is Chris Kyle a hero? A murderer? Does the film paint fake babies in a false light? Is it a proper representation of military tactics? We answer all these and more, probably the longest we’ve ever talked about a single movie. Besides that, Bret talks about celebrating his birthday in a sensory deprivation tank, Matt Lieb eats the supermarket sushi he bought with food stamps, and we read your emails about a guy with two buttholes. Enjoy, and for the love of God, tell a friend. Download it multiple times yourself, spread the word. Frot-nation is sweeping the nation, and you can get in early.

We open this week discussing Matt Lieb’s new haircut, which makes him a dead ringer for Lena Dunham’s boyfriend, Fun guitarist Jack Antonoff. This naturally leads to ‘Girls’ infamous butt-eating (analingus) scene, which seems to have been written just for Matt. Who famously eats so much butt he has a bib with a picture of a butt on it. Just keeping things high brow like always.

After that, the Space Dockett includes: the politicization of Facebook, ‘Frank,’ and Film.com’s Laremy Legel joins us to talk about Michael Mann’s ‘Blackhat,’ aka Thordfish (thanks to commenter Erswi for that one). And did I mention Ben is back in the studio??? Enjoy, and Frot on.

We’ve got three comedians in the Frotquarters this week to discuss a movie about a comedian, Obvious Child, along with Bret, who hates comedy, story, humans, and existence itself. Asked by his wife what he wants for Christmas, Bret answers “I don’t want to be,” and so she bought him a gift certificate to a sensory deprivation tank. Other topics include Collective Soul Bird, ‘Girls’ Vs. ‘Entourage,’ the Josh Gad Gad Movie Game, Kid Rock saying rap rock is gay, and lots of weird sex stuff. Guests: Matt Lieb, Vince Mancini, Jane Harrison, and Bret. We ate pizza. Won’t you be our friend?
