319: Rogue One, with Joanna Robinson

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2016/12/22

Star Wars, Star Wars, Star Wars! The Frotcast gets professional this week, with real guest Joanna Robinson from Vanity Fair coming on to talk a real movie that we all actually saw, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. But the Frotcast being the Frotcast, we pre-empted that with 20 minutes of talk about Vince’s recent … Continue reading 319: Rogue One, with Joanna Robinson →

318: Comedy Between Enemies

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2016/12/07

Between Trevor Noah's interview with Tomi Lahren and Adult Swim cancelling Million Dollar Extreme Presents: World Peace (because of its alleged association with the alt-right), we wondered, can comedy exist between political enemies? Moreover, if you find someone's views objectionable, is it better to engage them or ostracize them? Do you win hearts and minds or deny a platform? We cover Adult Swim, Brett Gelman, Sam Hyde, and Buzzfeed; and Van Jones on engaging Trump Voters. After that we get silly

317 – ‘Monsters’ With Joe Sinclitico and Ashley Burns

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2016/12/02

This week on the Frotcast, we're watching Monsters, Star Wars Rogue One director Gareth Edwards' first feature (timely!), which is also on Netflix (accessible!). Joining Vince and Brendan in the Frotquarters, we have comedian Joe Sinclitico (Adam Devine's House Party) and Uproxx's own Ashley Burns via Skype (from LA and Orlando, respectively). Joe tells us about how glamourous his life has gotten after his Comedy Central debut, and interviews the dishwasher during his catering gig (which he is also

316: Nocturnal Animals and Butt Stuff, with Matt Lieb...

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2016/11/23

It's Thanksgiving week, and since you'll probably be going home to your families, we discussed Nocturnal Animals, Tom Ford's accidental parody of how yuppies view rednecks and vice versa. Also, to help you work up an appetite, we talked a lot about impending butthole surgeries. Pretty typical Frotcast, really. Guests include Seattle's finest film critic Laremy Legel and the Star Wars Show's Matt Lieb (also of Flophouse and Newsbroke) joining Brendan and Vince in the studio. Thanks, and Frot on

315: Army Of One, With Jen Yamato & Evan Saathoff

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2016/11/18

This week on the Frotcast, Brendan, Matt, and Bret are off, but Jen Yamato from the Daily Beast and Evan Saathoff from Birth, Movies, Death are on the line to discuss 'Army of One,' this week's Nic Cage release. Is this Nic Cage's craziest performance to date? What other movies are in the conversation? What the hell is going on with this bizarre movie? We also discuss Gary Faulkner, the real-life "Rocky Mountain Rambo" upon whom the movie was based, and his life traveling to Pakistan to hunt Osama

Frotcast 314: ‘Arrival,’ Trumpocalypse 2016

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2016/11/11

Election 2016, we couldn't *not* talk about it. Is this the worst thing that could've happened? Who's to blame, besides everyone? How do we cope with President Trump? This week's guests include comedians Matt Lieb and Joe Sinclitico. Joe and I both saw 'Arrival,' and offer our no-spoilers reviews. We also try to break down the multiple timelines theory of Westworld, answer your emails, and of course, Crystal Corner, the segment about people who've turned to magical crystals. 3:00 - Trump is

Frotcast 313: ‘Weiner’ And Borat, With Matt Lieb And...

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2016/11/03

Anthony Weiner was back in the news recently, sort of, so we take a look back on the incredible political documentary 'Weiner,' and see if it feels any different now, knowing what we know about him. After that we discuss 'Borat,' which turns 10 years old this week. Then we have Crystal Corner, which isn't strictly about crystals this week, but adult Summer camp, which seems at least crystal adjacent. Guests include comedian Matt Lieb from Flophouse and the Star Wars Show, and Joe Sinclitico from

Frotcast 312: Soul Man (With Matt Lieb & Allison Mick)

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2016/10/28

This week on the Frotcast, we're discussing the classic 1986 blackface comedy, Soul Man, starring C. Thomas Howell. Did this film "predict Obama's rise," as Armond White believes? Comedians Matt Lieb and Allison Mick join Brendan and me (Vince Mancini) in the studio. Soul Man's assertion that the 80s were "the Cosby decade" also lead us into a discussion of Cosby and 80s movies. We finish off with NPR corner and "The Royalty Freestyle," in which we force Matt Lieb to improvise lyrics to royalty-free

Frotcast 311: The Ballad Of Ken Bone (With Matt Lieb...

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2016/10/20

This week on the Frotcast, we decided to talk about Ken Bone. His story seems emblematic of some of the worst of the internet, where we decide you're a certain thing one day and celebrate you for it, and then the next day try to destroy for not being that thing we decided you were good enough. This leads us into So You've Been Publicly Shamed, Justine Sacco, and Melissa Villaseñor. After that we talk some Westworld, diverge into "grab that pussy"-gate, and finish off discussing the Amanda Knox

Westworld, Dreamforce, and the VP Debates (Frotcast 310)

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2016/10/06

Comedians Joey Avery and Jane Harrison join Vince Mancini in the Frotquarters with Flophouse's LA Matt (Matt Lieb) blooping in through Skype. This week, we're talking the season premiere of Westworld on HBO. Yeah or nah? What's up with Ed Harris's character? Is Anthony Hopkins a great actor or is he just great at playing Anthony Hopkins? Also, the big Salesforce circle jerk, Dreamforce is in San Francisco this week, and Joey even had a comedy gig during an afterparty. So we rip on Salesforce and

The Debate, Matt Lieb’s Anti-Semitic Girlfriend...

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2016/09/29

Comedians Matt Lieb and Joey Avery are in the Frotquarters this week, to talk about the first presidential debate between Trump and Hillary, the saga of Matt Lieb's possibly Anti-Semitic Bumble girlfriend, and this week's homoerotic job postings (as well as a discussion of homoeroticism in general, which we're all, not shockingly, in favor of). Oh, and how the South is apparently in the midst of a clown epidemic. Enjoy! 3:05 - The job listing of the week: for a "dude focused" #content editor,

Snowden, Back From TIFF (Frotcast 308)

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2016/09/16

This week on the Frotcast, LA Matt aka Matt Lieb returns from his ban to join Vince, returning from TIFF (the Toronto International Film Festival) to talk Adrien Grenier's NY Mag profile, Snowden and Oliver Stone, Nate Parker and Birth of a Nation, and of course perform a few segments of the "Royalty Freestyle." Brendan joins about 30 minutes in. We're sorry.

The Nice Guys, The Night Of, And Elizabeth Holmes...

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2016/09/08

This week, we discuss Shane Black's recently-released-on-DVD stooge noir, The Nice Guys, starring Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling. Is it an action movie? A comedy? Does believability matter? Is Ryan Gosling playing Wile E. Coyote? We ponder all those questions as well as our recent news obsessions, like the cinematic rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos, Apple headphones, and The Night Of. Panel includes comedian Joe Sinclitico from Adam Devine's House Party, and Joey Avery, fresh off his

Point Break Vs The Point Break Remake (Frotcast 306)

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2016/09/01

Is the original Point Break a classic? Is it a good-good movie, a good-bad movie, or a bad-bad movie? And what does that say for the remake? Critics didn't like the original that much when it came out, but by the time the remake came they were calling it a masterpiece. What does that say for the remake? Will it eventually be respected? We ponder all these questions and more, with the help of guest Francesca Fiorentini from AJ+. Comedian Joey Avery is sitting in for Bret this week, with Brendan and

Mad About The Internet, with Werner Herzog (Frotcast...

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2016/08/25

With Werner Herzog's new internet documentary, Lo And Behold: Reveries Of The Connected World expanding this week, the Frotcast is all about the internet. We discuss the actual documentary as well tangents from it. The internet is one the most scalable technologies ever created, but did our humanity scale with it? In Don't Woke Daddy, we discuss "the satire paradox," and Malcolm Gladwell's recent critique of SNL's Sarah Palin sketches and Steven Colbert. Are we actually trying to change anyone's

Frotcast 304: Ryan Lochte and French Connection

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2016/08/18

This week on the Frotcast, Matt Lieb, Bret, and Brendan are all back in the studio for a discussion of William Friedkin's The French Connection (1971). Are the cops supposed to be heroic? Is this the best car chase in cinema? What is about a hyper-focused narrative that's so compelling? All that and more, but first, we talk about Ryan Lochte and his Brazilian robbery ("hobbery") story and Matt's in-character appearance (as "LA Matt") on North Carolina local news. We've also got Matt Lieb Improvises

Frotcast 303: Suicide Squad And Development Hell,...

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2016/08/11

We all saw David Ayer's Suicide Squad this week, which wasn't great, but is strangely fun to dissect. We discuss the strange development of Suicide Squad, then Justin Halpern comes on to tell us his own strange development stories, from Sh-t My Dad Says to present, along with a great story about John Slattery from Mad Men. We finish things off with Crystal Corner, and "Fill My Hole," in which we name things to watch, read, and listen to, to fill the emptiness inside. Enjoy! 6:15 - My defense of

Frotcast: The Reboot Episode (302)

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2016/08/04

It's the reboot episode, where The Frotcast becomes simply "Frotcast." Clean, rad, powerful. Hey, remember your childhood? It's back! This week on Frotcast, we're talking all about nostalgia -- reboots, prequels, gender swaps, and homages -- starting with Stranger Things. Is it even an homage or is it just a fun show? Then, Sympathy For The Drivel, where we name our favorite prequels and try to decide what other thing could use a prequel. Regulars Vince Mancini, Bret, and Brendan are in the

Frotcast: Joe Sinclitico, Bobby Hacker, Trump...

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2016/07/29

FilmDrunk's Vince Mancini is joined by comedian Joe Sinclitico (Adam Devine's House Party), Matt Lieb (Flophouse), and filmmaker Bobby Hacker (Cars 1-3, not the Pixar one) for an LA edition of the Frotcast. The sound of Joe vaping throughout really ties the Frotcast together. We discuss comedy, and We Are Not Your Guru, the Netflix Tony Robbins documentary. Joe reveals that he used to work at Trump University, and how that relates to the specific brand of dog-eat-dog masculinity that Tony Robbins

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2016/07/21

Frotcast 300! I never thought the podcast that Splitsider called “consistently one of the most feminist groups of disgusting dudes on the internet,” and “regularly the grossest, least politically correct bunch of dudes” would make it this far, but here we are. This week, comedian Brandon Wardell (with whom I have a show at the Hollywood Improv Wednesday July 27th, tickets here) joins us to talk about the #DicksOutForHarambe movement (since co-opted by Milo Yiannopoulos) and review a free Smash Mouth
