Frotcast 183: Shia Labeouf, Do the Right Thing, Worst Movies of 2013

comedy, movies, pop culture, relationships, sex

Matt Lieb was back in the Frotquarters this week, joining Bret and Burnsy via Skype. We talked about the Shia Labeouf plagiarism fiasco, Burnsy explained some of his choices for the worst movies of 2013, and we had a classic movie discussion of Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing.

This week’s clips included The Most Confusing Commercial Ever, The Most Australian News Clip of All Time, and a couple embarrassing accidental voice mails (don’t forget to hang up your phone next time you leave one!).

If you’re listening and you haven’t gotten to the Australia TV clips yet, I’d recommend sticking around.

Frotcast 182: Matt Lieb, Tila Tequila’s Anti-Semitic Meltdown

comedy, movies, pop culture, relationships

This week on the Frotcast, San Francisco comedian Matt Lieb drops by to tell us all about his latest healthy relationship after his last girl choked him out and spit on his face in a minivan. We listen to the song of the week, Tay Allyn, and her amazing commencement speech. We talk about Andy Serkis’s mo-cap Animal Farm movie, and Bret gives us the illustrator/coder’s perspective on hating motion-capture. Bret saw the Hobbit, but not in time to record. He did see The Way Way Back though! And of course, we talk about Tila Tequila’s wonderful anti-semitic breakdown in which she talks about the hollow moon, the synagogue of Satan, the illuminati, etc. etc. Fun for the whole family!

Quote: “I’m fake and gay? THIS WHOLE COURTROOM IS FAKE AND GAY!” -Our pitch for ‘Mr. Smith Goes to the Internet.’

comedy, football, movies, NFL, pop culture, relationships

This week on the Frotcast, the world’s best sort-of movie podcast, we’ve got SBNation’s Matt Ufford joining us via Skype. We start things off old school, with the latest poop transplant news, including the poop pill pioneering being done in Canada. We transition into a discussion of Kevin Connolly’s (E from Entourage) 30 for 30 episode. We get into our favorite TV shows of the week. Before long I introduce the rest of the Frot gang to our new obsession, the vegan hippie rap bros Chef Seth and Pa-Chow. They even inspire a new character, “The Pomegrandler,” the hippie vegan Whole Foods answer to The Hamburglar. We talk a little about Paul Walker and the anus of SEO, before finishing things off with The Listener Word Bucket, including your relationship questions about whether your lady should accept your porn watching and the etiquette of herpes dating. Enjoy. Tell your friends and all that sh*t.

Live, love, Frot.

Frotcast 180: Catching Fire & Oldboy with Laremy Legel

comedy, movies, pop culture, relationships

Bret, Laremy, and Vince on this early holiday episode. We open the show
talking about heckler stories, including Vince’s recent experience with
the drunk girl at the dueling piano bar who kicked the piano man in the
face. We lead into Spike Lee’s Oldboy remake (full review forthcoming) and the idea of remakes in general. Based on Sharlto Copley in Oldboy and Jodie Foster in Elysium, we discuss the most ill-advised acting performances of this year, and of all time. We talk about Only God Forgives
and misanthropic directors, and promos for network TV shows that are so
ridiculous they feel like SNL sketches. We wrap it up with your emails
about dates gone wrong, horrible break-ups, job troubles, church,
existential buffoons, and dominatrices.

Frotcast Bonus: Jordan Morris

comedy, movies, Uncategorized

Here’s the deal, Jordan Morris from Jordan Jesse Go! (that’s another podcast for those of you unfamiliar – DO NOT DESERT ME!) was in town this weekend, and the rest of the boys were at work, so we recorded a one-on-one podcast. It’s not quite the normal Frotcast vibe you’re used to, but we did get to talk lots about movies, cult movies, Jordan’s favorite and least favorite interview subjects, and getting in early on the whole podcast phenomenon. Definitely not as many jokes or as much horseplay, but we did actually get complete some thoughts. Complete thoughts are probably overrated, but still. A good time was had by all. And by all I mean both. A good time was had by both. I think. Enjoy!

FilmDrunk 113: Report from Gathering of the Juggalos

comedy, movies

This week on the Frotcast, we welcome San Francisco comic Alex Q. Huffman to the frotquarters, Ben surprise bloops in from Bermuda, and we talk to Michael Buhman and Dan, our correspondents who just got back from the Gathering of the Juggalos in Illinois. Alex tells us about traveling from Ohio to San Francisco, getting illegally evicted from his house and living in his car for more than a year, Ben bloops in drunk at 2 am in Bermuda, and we talk to Mike and Dan all about the Juggalo economy, Insane Clown Posse, underage girls, a guy selling toads, a gangbang on a bridge, and all the Juggaloism you can imagine. We talk Dave Mustaine’s conspiracy theories about the Aurora and Sikh shootings, and finish things off with the guy who burned Cheerios at the General Mills factory to protest gay marriage but then had a heart attack. I guess you could say that the theme was dark comedy.
