ANNOUNCEMENT: Many Saints of Discord Live Riff! 10/4 @ 6pm PST



Matt Lieb here with a special Pod Yourself a Gun/Frotcast announcement. On Monday, October 4, at 6pm PST, Vince Mancini, Brent Flyberg and I will be watching and talking over The Many Saints of Newark live on Discord. We haven’t done a live riff episode in a while and this is our first time doing it on Discord so it’s sure to be a fun time watching Vince scream at his computer because of technical problems. I will also be bad at it, but Vince is funnier when he’s mad at computers.

In the past, our monthly movie riff episode has been exclusively for the $20 patrons but since we haven’t done this in a while and NEVER done it on Discord, for this month only, anyone at the $5 tier or above will be able to watch with us. Once you subscribe to our Patreon, you will automatically be assigned a role on Discord and we are allowing ALL ROLES to watch with us. If you have any technical issues we will try our best to work them out with you. But if Vince can do it, so can you. 

OK see y’all Monday Cctober 4th at 6pm PST for the Many Saints of Newark live riff. 


TEASER: Stinky Johnny Depp and Cancel Culture



Here’s your teaser for this week’s Frotcast. You can listen to the full episode on Patreon!

DESCRIPTION:

What a week for streaming premium HBO content. Joey Avery is back in the virtual Frotquarters talking about being engaged, podcasts about wives, Johnny Depp’s cancel culture takes, and Princess Diana movies! Also, Matt and Vince watched both Scenes from a Marriage and Malignant. Well we only talk about Malignant at the end for a little but it’s still a good conversation. Real good stuff. Have fun!


TEASER: Hitler v The Devil



New Frotcast this week is sans Vince but he will be back next week. Here’s a clip where Jason Webb explains the Hitler vs The Devil subplot of the show Preacher. You can listen to the full episode here, on Patreon! 

Description:

Hey all, Vince is off this week taking care of his little baby but don’t you worry, he will be back next week to talk movies with all of us. In the meantime, Matt brought our favorite southern gentleman, Jason Webb, back on to the pod to talk Vince’s Netflix account, baby stuff, Jason’s hacker/lock-picking skills, and AMC’s Preacher. Also, Matt tries to explain the Matrix to Jason. Enjoy!


TEASER: I’m a Chinese citizen, I have a joke with regards to your soft drink



Hey all,

Vince had a baby! So this week’s Frotcast is just Matt Lieb and Joe Sinclitico talking movies and Fentanyl deaths. Here is a teaser from our conversation about Fent and anti-Chinese racism. You can listen to the full episode on our Patreon. Become a subscriber NOW! Anyway, here is the description of the full ep:


 

Well, it’s happened. Vince Mancini has an adorable little newborn baby. Unfortunately, that means he had to be in the hospital all day rather than frotcast with me, so this week me and Joe Sinclitico grabbed the reigns and talked movies and junk. We discussed everything from babies, to fentanyl overdoses, to HBO’s Reminiscence by Westworld creator Lisa Joy. Despite the absence of Vince, it is a very good episode that I know you will enjoy.


TEASER – Frotcast Interview With AJ Galante



This is just a teaser! To listen to the full interview, subscribe at Patreon.com/Frotcast.

An interview with AJ Galante, the son of an alleged mobster whose father bought a hockey team to run when he was in high school.

Hey, Frotcast fans. Matt is in Portland helping Francesca with a live show this week and we already recorded a new Pod Yourself A Gun, but I’ve got another interview for the Frotcast feed this week.

So, this week there was a new episode of Untold, the sports documentary series from Netflix. They already released a Malice At The Palace episode and a couple others. This latest one is from Maclain Way and Chapman Way, the brothers who did Wild Wild Country. This latest one is about a hockey team called the Danbury Trashers. Basically there was this alleged mobster named Jimmy Galante who ran a trash hauling empire from Danbury, Connecticut. His son AJ was a hockey player, but in his senior year AJ had a really bad injury that ended his hockey career. So in 2004 his dad ends up buying a minor league hockey team and he makes AJ, who was 17 at the time, the general manager.

AJ finds all the best goons and basically turns them into real-life Slapshot. I got to interview AJ this week, and it felt relevant to the Frotcast fans for obvious reasons. With Jimmy Galante in the trash business in a New York suburb, and having a teenage son named AJ, the Sopranos parallels are pretty obvious. In the doc they say that the Sopranos might’ve been partially based on them, but I haven’t found a source for that. Anyway, AJ was a lot of fun to talk to, and I thought it would be a lot more fun to actually hear his voice than just reading it on Uproxx. So, I hope you like it. As always, we have a lot more free stuff on the Pod Yourself A Gun feed, but we’re doing our best to keep that content slop flowing. Hope it fills your snouts.

 


[TEASER] Early Access to PYAG 511 “The Test Dream” w Felix Biederman of Chapo Trap House



Hey all,

Since there was no Frotcast this week, I figured I’d just release this banked episode of Pod Yourself A Gun a few weeks early for the Patreon. We had Chapo Trap House’s Felix Biederman back on the pod to discuss one of the most controversial episodes of the Sopranos “The Test Dream.” Many hate the Test Dream, but Felix loves it and specifically requested it. We had a great time talking about it.

You should join the Patreon and listen to the full episode.


[UNLOCKED] Frotcast 484 – Free Guy More Like Free… Afghanistan w Joe Sinclitico



Time for your favorite podcast about movies and things. This week Matt and Vince are once again joined by Joe Sinclitico to talk about Afganistan, food trucks, Megan Markle and  Harry’s opinions about stuff, Lady Gaga’s dog walker and much more. Plus, Matt and Vince discuss “Free Guy” with Ryan Reynolds, a whole movie about an NPC. It’s a fun one. Enjoy! I’m gonna eat dinner now. Bye.

TEASER: The Gay Mafia and The Suicide Squad



Hey all,

Just a reminder to become a Patron of the frotcast now and listen to our bonus content. 

This week we talk about The Suicide Squad, and other things. Description Below!


What’s up Frotters? Time for your weekly dose of content and we couldn’t be more excited about it. This week Matt and Vince watched the new and improved Suicide Squad movie on HBO Max. It’s like the other one only it’s better, and yet still just a movie about super people. We have mixed feelings but all-in-all it was a solid B+. Also, we talk about the new host of Jeopardy, celebrity bathing habits, and Matt Damon’s use of slurs. It’s a great episode. I love you.


Frotcast Bonus: Billy Corben On ‘Cocaine Cowboys: The Kings Of Miami’



Hey, Frotcast fans. I have this interview for you I did with Billy Corben this week. He directed The U, the Cocaine Cowboys movies, Screwball, Broke on 30 for 30 — I think this is the third time I’ve talked to him, so we sort of know each other by now. He’s a great talker and always a great interview. His latest is called Cocaine Cowboys: The Kings Of Miami, and it’s out on Netflix. It’s about these guys Sal Magluta and Willy Falcón who were trafficking cocaine in Miami in the 80s and 90s. Beyond that I don’t think there’s anything you need to know to understand it. My voice sounds a little weird at first because I was getting an echo and I had to put a filter on my track, but hopefully it isn’t too bad. It also goes away about halfway through.

We haven’t done many episodes on the free feed lately, just because we’ve been busy doing Pod Yourself A Gun, and those are all free. If you’re still thirsty for more content, you can always subscribe on Patreon at Patreon.com/Frotcast. Do that! It’ll be awesome! Anyway, here’s me and Billy Corben.
