UNLOCKED: The Wiener-Less Lion King, With Live-Action Matt And Vince

comedy, movies, ,

Here it is, folks, our POSITIVELY NO SPOILERS review of the new “live-action” remake of The Lion King, starring live-action, photoreal versions of Matt and Vince. I’m just kidding about the spoilers thing, you actually can’t spoil this movie because it’s basically a shot-for-shot remake of that cartoon we all know and loved from 1994. We loved it because of the totally authentic African music recorded by famous African musicians Elton John and Tim Rice. Will the remake be as good? Well, nothing improves a cartoon like PHOTOREAL LIONS, I always say. Topics include:

-When you say Jon Favreau “directed” this, what does that actually mean?
-Why don’t the lions have dicks?
-How did Billy Eichner manage to transcend this format that destroyed everyone else?
-No but seriously, why don’t the lions have dicks?
-Who decided that the lions shouldn’t have dicks and why?
-Are we too hung up on the lion-dick thing?

TEASER: Hobbs And Shaw Bonus Frotcast With Matt And Vince

This is a bonus episode! Subscribe and get the full episode at Patreon.com/Frotcast! You can add our premium feed to your podcast app.

We’re back with another banger of a movie review! This week, we saw the Fast and Furious franchise’s spin-off feature Hobbs & Shaw – starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jason “The Chimney Sweep” Statham. It was two hours and infinity minutes of non-stop action and roast jokes from two of the franchise’s favorite funnymen. No Vin, no Luda, no Tyrese, NO PROBLEM! The plot is simple enough: Hobbs and Shaw must work together to stop Idris Elba from stealing a virus that will wipe out most of humanity and save a hot spy from certain doom without showing titties or penetration. This episode is extremely spoiler-laden so we are issuing a formal SPOILER ALERT for those of you who love movies but can’t seem to remember even the most basic of plot twists. For those of you who don’t care about spoilers, you can pretty much guess everything that happens minute by minute.

We discuss this movie and the franchise as a whole in this episode so you DO NOT want to miss it. Frot on, my dudes and lady dudes.

Frotcast Bonus: Matt And Vince Discuss ‘Yesterday’ (TEASER)

comedy, movies, , , ,

In this week’s bonus review episode, Vince and Matt discuss ‘Yesterday,’ a movie directed by an Oscar winner (Danny Boyle) and written by an Oscar nominee (Richard Curtis) in which one Indian-British busker is the only one on Earth who remembers The Beatles. First, Matt details the shocking similarities between this premise and a premise he wrote years back as a movie within a movie that was considered the worst movie idea ever. Then we discuss how a premise this good (it’s true, I love this premise!) could turn out this bad (boy was it bad!). And then there was the agony of leaving the theater only to discover that most of our fellow theater patrons apparently loved it! We felt like the only people on Earth who remembered how terrible Yesterdaywas. Yes, this episode was a long and winding road. Vince’s written version of the review lives here.

Please to enjoy, tell you friends, and you’ll never be lonely when you have the Frotcast.

Sam Jackson in Shaft

Frotcast Bonus: Vince and Joe Talk Shaft (TEASER)

movies, , ,

Happy Father’s Day, Frot fans. This week, I took Joe Sinclitico to see a movie about three generations of men named “Shaft.” Luckily Samuel L. Jackson was one of them. The big question with Shaft: is Samuel L. Jackson enough of a national treasure that it’s worth sitting through an otherwise kind of weak Shaft movie? The answer is…. yes? Please enjoy this bonus movie review Frotcast. We should have a new Frotcast out soon, but in the meantime, you can find lots of bonus movie review Frotcasts available right now by subscribing at patreon.com/Frotcast.

UNLOCKED: Matt And Vince Review ‘Avengers: Endgame’

movies, , ,

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that this week brings us the release of the WORLD’S MOST IMPORTANT MOVIE, Avengers: Endgame, a movie event so huge that you’re legally allowed to kill a man if he spoils it for you. Matt and I saw this movie and did the entire first half of this extra special bonus frotcast SPOILER FREE. Don’t want to hear spoilers? Don’t worry, we warn you before we start in with the spoilers. But after that? Ooh, child, you’re on your own. Because we are spilling all of that Avengers tea. Matt and I differ distinctly in how much we enjoyed this movie, but one thing we could agree on was a reflexive dislike of Anthony Mackie. Also: Infinity Stones. CGI battles. Gwyneth Paltrow’s hair. New portals. A raccoon. We discuss it all, and you’re going to FUCKING love it. #DontSpoilTheEndGame by not listening to this podcast, bitch.
