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!

Frotcast 151: Burnsy’s Corner and Iron Man 3



This week, we are honored to welcome back Ashley Burns AKA Burnsy to the Frotcast. We step into Burnsy’s corner to hear the Song of the Summer and learn that Florida now has Lion Tacos. Everyone but Ben saw Iron Man 3, and that is discussed for awhile, as well as upcoming Marvel Comics movies. We also listen to some voice mails, go over Vince Vaughn’s latest “normal job” movie, and Vince puts out the Frot Signal to the sorority girl who got kicked out for keeping it way too real.

Frot on!
