Here’s your bonus Frotcast, my interview with Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World). The final film in his Cornetto trilogy, The World’s End, opens this Friday, and we talk about his tendency to actually engage with nerd/fanboy culture, the qualities that make him a film director, whether Simon Pegg is actually “the serious one” in their relationship, his upcoming gig directing Ant Man for Marvel (coming 2015), and whether he knows the plural of “thesis.” Enjoy, and check out The World’s End August 23rd!

Bit of a departure from your usual Frotcast this week, as Ben had to fly straight from Chicago to Seattle for a work retreat, and he had the mixers and mics in his bag. So we couldn’t record a normal ‘cast (other than the one we already recorded at The Gathering that you can buy), but Matt Lieb, Ben, and I did get to talk to comedian Dante Nero after his set at The Gathering over the weekend for 40 minutes or so. It’s an iPhone recording, so the quality isn’t amazing, but we had a pretty great conversation about trying to do comedy at The Gathering, comedy in general, and calling out joke thieves.

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.

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.

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.
