Frotcast 161: Cougar Town’s Pat Schumacker, Plagiarism Talk



This week on the Frotcast, our guests include Patrick Schumacker, Cougar Town writer and Justin Halpern’s writing partner, and SF comedian Matt Louv, the museum of comedy. We talk about Tarantino girlfriend/plagiarist Lianne Spiderbaby and whether she’s actually a human spambot. We discuss Pacific Rim, the Dzhokar Tsarnaev Rolling Stone cover, and Pat introduces a new topic, asinine movie arguments we’ve had with people. Most importantly, we coin the phrase “Sharknados are a fishious cyclone.” Enjoy.

Frotcast 160: Ben returns, David Gborie in Frotquarters



This week, Ben returns from his journey to Asia. He tells us a little about Vietnam and Japan, and that he did not partake in any sex tourism. Comedian David Gborie visits us in Frotquarters and discuss life on the road as a comedian. Laremy bloops in, and him and Vince let us know how much they hated Pacific Rim. We all remember movies that we were REALLY excited to see, and then ultimately disappointed. We hear some audio clips, and read a listener email about an encounter with Val Kilmer. Frot on!

Frotcast 159: Dog Shootings, The Lone Ranger



This week on the Frotcast, we welcome two of my favorite San Francisco comedians, Matt Lieb and Pam Benjamin, two folks who are both hilarious and total open books. Pam tells us about all the sex she’s been having, and we wonder what girls’ deal is, and why they be crazy and why women be shoppin’ etc. We talk about the infamous video of the Hawthorne police shooting the guy’s dog and how GODDAMN MAD THAT STORY MAKES ME. UGH. Then we bloop in Laremy Legel of Film.com via Skype, who tells us all about The Lone Ranger and how terrible it was. Bret saw Man of Steel, so we discuss that. Then we talk about a lot of stuff and sh*t gets super duper real. Super.

Those Hawthorne cops can go die.


Frotcast 158: Paula Deen, Justin Halpern’s Tweets from My Sick Ride



This week on the Frotcast, we had a ton of fun. Seriously, you should listen to this one. Filling in for Brendan and Ben, SF comedians Juan Medina and Matt Lieb join us in the Frotquarters for a ‘cast that runs the gamut from silly to serious, as we discuss Juan’s second life as a cab driver, the hypocrisy of the Paula Deen controversy, Stephan Jenkins, the pitfalls of self-congratulatory comedy, Matt Lieb’s lonely lonely single life, and Upstream Color. Justin Halpern bloops in for a segment called ‘Tweets from My Sick Ride,’ involving satisfied tweets from Lexus and Porsche owners, which is quickly interrupted by hilarious dog and crying baby. Later on, Bret has some pretty serious feelings about Upstream Color. Good times, good times. For more movie news you can make fun of, check out FilmDrunk.com.


Frotcast 157: “When you’ve got an Armie Hammer, everything looks like a nail.”



Recording early this week due to scheduling issues, perhaps too early, some might say, this week’s Frotcast features San Francisco comedy legends Matt Lieb AND Matt Louv. We talk about Matt Lieb, and how lonely he is, and then get into a discussion about what films we’d like to watch in Punch-o-vision, which would allow the viewer to punch the characters. After that, we talk about some other stuff, and we start coming up with ska-themed movies for some reason, like Ska-face. Yeah.


Frotcast 156: Matt Lieb, Burnsy’s Corner, Man of Steel



This week on the Frotcast, Matt Lieb joins us in the Frotquarters, and he recently got dumped so he needs a friend. We talk about the wonderful world of online dating, and what Stephen Jenkins thought about Matt talking about him on the last Frotcast. Lieb and I went on a man-date to Man of Steel, so we talk about that, and our favorite slow-motion scenes in general. Then Burnsy comes on to talk about the naked BART man, the sad decline and reverse aging of Matty B, and play us his new song of the Summer. Then we answer your question about “troll pooping.” Wouldn’t “poop trolling” be more accurate? Who knows. A good time was had by all.

Frot on.


Frotcast 155: Vietnam Movies, Rape Jokes, Etc.



This week on the Frotcast, our guest David Gborie had to bail, so it’s just the boys – Vince, Brendan, and Bret. But we still have lots of fun! We offer your updates on Fantasy Summer Box Office, I saw The Bling Ring, we talk about the curious political subtexts of 80s movies and current movies, discuss our favorite Vietnam movies, tell BART stories, and, because so many people demanded it, we talk about Lindy West and Jim Norton’s “rape joke” “debate” from Kamau Bell’s show this past week, and our culture’s endless desire for contrived debates in general.


Frotcast 154: Matt Lieb, 6 Fast 6 Furious, After Earth



We’re back minus Ben this week, who’s in Tokyo, but we brought back fan favorite, SF comedian Matt Lieb to pick up the slack. This week’s topics include a lengthy discussion of 6 Fast 6 Furious, stories from my recent Mexico trip, Bret saw Side Effects and The Ambassador, and Matt Lieb relates his dad’s advice shortly after 9/11 – “the best time to buy stocks is when there’s blood in the streets.” Film.com’s Laremy Legel even prepared a statement for us about After Earth. Enjoy.


Frotcast 153: Star Trek, Hangover, and Fast 6 with Laremy



This week, we get started by playing a voicemail, discussing hobo activity, and hear from Will Smith’s wiener son. Then we bloop Laremy in to talk about Fast 6, Hangover 3 and Star Trek. Vince also serenades us with some Black Sabbath. Frot on!
