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 179: Workaholics Co-Creator Connor Pritchard, Christian Dating Gurus

comedy, movies, relationships

This week on the Frotcast, we’re joined by Workaholics co-creator Connor Pritchard, who recently wrote The Order of the Magi, and has been promoting it with elaborate scavenger hunt. This week’s theme is “The Idiot Guru,” which was inspired this news story we heard about, where Justin Lookado was in a bit of hot water for giving some sweet dating advice like “dateable girls know how to shut up” to high schoolers. We go through his “10 Rules of Dateability” for men and women, such as “Men of God are wild, not domesticated.”

There’s also our song of the week, Peter Dante’s N-word meltdown, creepy James Toback, Daniel Day-Lewis’s son the rap star, Wolf of Wall Street subject Jordan Belfort’s motivational speaking tour, and your emails.

Enjoy! Email at us at frotcast@gmail.com. Write us some reviews, and send us links to them!

Frotcast 174: Vince, Bret and Burnsy

Uncategorized

What is up Frotcast Fans, 

It is your favorite cancer patient Ben. Unfortunately, I did not join the crew for this Frotcast. The chemo has me feeling pretty crappy. Fear not- Vince, Bret and Burnsy held it down. Also- I am getting through this chemo crap, just not the most fun thing I have ever done. Thank you all for the support, kind words and concern. The internet love warms this cold Jew’s heart (with flakes of gold). 

I hope to return next week. Until then, enjoy this week’s show. I am not quite sure what happened except that Vince blooped in Burnsy and Bret. Brendan was busy buying a house with a bidet in it. 

Also, people ask how they can support the Frocast. If you are generous enough to send us some of your hard earned sheckles, we would be honored to receive them. Just go to http://frotcast.com/shop/frotcast-subscription/ and choose the amount ($1, $4, or $10) you would like to subscribe for. It will set you up with recurring billing every month through PayPal, and of course you can cancel at anytime. 
For all Whoop Dreams related info, go to www.whoopdreams.com. Mike from Tall Tale Productions is currently on a project in Africa, and we hope to have some edited footage when he returns next month. 
Don’t forget to donate at least 100 clicks a day to www.Filmdrunk.com. Vince is always tearing his blogging slacks. Fixing those things ain’t cheap. 
As always- Frot On and Frotstrong,
Ben
