TEASER – Matt And Vince Review John Wick 3
UNLOCKED: Matt And Vince Review ‘Avengers: Endgame’
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.

TEASER – Frotcast Bonus: Matt And Vince Talk ‘Hellboy’
This week’s bonus episode is now available on Patreon!
This week, Matt and I saw Hellboy, which pretty much everyone hated except for me, including Matt, apparently. Though we do agree that Hellboy is a perfect Gen X protagonist (angry, angst-filled, but secretly believing he’s a good guy). We also agree on a lot of the salient points — like how hilarious it is that Hellboy is summoned by Rasputin during World War II with no explanation of how that happens, and the joy of watching a ball of guts become possessed by the spirits of your ancestors — but we disagree on whether that hilarity was intentional, and how much that actually matters in the scheme of things. We also read the bad reviews and discuss everyone comparing this one to Guillermo Del Toro. Finally we listen to a voicemail story from one of our listener’s crowd experience during The Favourite. Enjoy! You’ll never be lonely when you have the Frotcast.

Frotcast Bonus: Matt And Vince Review ‘Aquaman’
Merry early Christmas, Frot fans!
This week we’ve got a bonus FREE EPISODE. Matt and I review Aquaman, which we were both surprised to find that we actually kind of liked a lot. Yes, there are spoilers, but probably not ones you would care hugely about. The movie doesn’t feel that spoil-able.
Areas of discussion include: how did our preconceived notions stack up to the finished film, and where did those preconceived notions come from? Did Aquaman just build the character around Jason Momoa’s actual personality? We also delve into Jason Momoa’s dopey charm, the big oafish jock you really want to befriend you for some reason. From there we get into the superhero movie’s obsession with monarchy, Willem Dafoe dressed like a geisha, water-driven technologies, and the aesthetic of excess.
Does Aquaman deserve a production design Oscar? And moreover, did DC finally stumble onto a tone that actually both works, and differentiates them from Marvel? And is a background making horror movies, like Aquaman director James Wan has, the best training for a superhero movie?
