Frotcast Bonus: Jordan Morris



Here’s the deal, Jordan Morris from Jordan Jesse Go! (that’s another podcast for those of you unfamiliar – DO NOT DESERT ME!) was in town this weekend, and the rest of the boys were at work, so we recorded a one-on-one podcast. It’s not quite the normal Frotcast vibe you’re used to, but we did get to talk lots about movies, cult movies, Jordan’s favorite and least favorite interview subjects, and getting in early on the whole podcast phenomenon. Definitely not as many jokes or as much horseplay, but we did actually get complete some thoughts. Complete thoughts are probably overrated, but still. A good time was had by all. And by all I mean both. A good time was had by both. I think. Enjoy!


Filmdrunk 130: Laremy



This week we bring on Frotcast favorite Laremy Legel. Vince and Laremy share a dislike for The Hobbit, we read this year’s Lacrosse Names, talk about the Oatmeal/ Buzzfeed beef, read listener emails, and other standard Frotcast jackassery. Drunk on!

Both of them had issues with the film besides the running time, and they get into the 48 fps “soap opera” effect. The gang talks about some of Peter Jackson’s past non-Tolkien films.
    00:57:55 – As usual, Laremy comes prepared with a list: Rejected Bermanisms. The guys read off the Lacrosse All-Name Team and a list unusual baby names.

    01:37:05 – Time for some more emails. One listener asks if there have ever been a negative side to being recognized out in public. Brendan reveals some nightmares he’s had due to involvement with the Frotcast. A listener asks about the protocol of naked dumps at work, and the guys get into stories about that one kid everyone went to school with who peed at the urinal with his pants around his ankles. The topic of favorite film versus the best film you’ve ever seen gets brought, and how some people use that to show how sophisticated they are. A new Paul Blart Presents is introduced, and one listener tries to breakdown who would win in a fight between the four Frotcast members.

The guys get into a discussion about the popularity of GIFs, which leads into talk about one of the most GIFable moments in sports: Mark Sanchez running into his own lineman and fumbling.
