FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2015/04/06

We couldn't get the Frotcast crew together for a proper Frotcast this past week, but I did interview Paul Fischer 'A Kim Jong-Il Production: The Extraordinary True Story of a Kidnapped Filmmaker, His Star Actress, and a Young Dictator's Rise to Power.' While it's not the same thing as a normal Frotcast, I did go all Teri Gross for a Fresh Air-style, hour-long interview. The book tells the story of Choi Eun-Hee and Shin Sang-Ok, who at one point were the most popular actress and director in South

2015/03/26

Twollie Vanderworf! Tokyo Sexwale! Taco BM Monster! Dr. Loki Skylizard! These are all people's real names, uncovered every year by the folks at NameOfTheYear.com. Using their 2015 Name Of the Year bracket, we all chose our Name Of The Year fantasy teams, with guest and fantasy sports expert Matt Ufford of The Inactives podcast. After that, we discuss competitive Paul Walker grieving among the Furious 7 cast, and go down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theory websites. Enjoy, and go to

242: The Jinx vs. Serial, Divergent, And I Hate...

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2015/03/19

This week on the Frotcast, we talk The Jinx and Robert Durst. The appeal of the show, is it closure or characters? Or is it just that Robert Durst is nuts in so many different ways that it seems like there's a new one every week? And why would people feel closure at the end of the show, because the weird guy was talking to himself? Wouldn't any rational human being know how did it from the very beginning? Did you hear the story about his rubber mask? About him killing his dogs? So we talk about that

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2015/03/04

This week, we welcome Somerville, Mass's finest (don't say Boston...), comedian Steve Post to talk about the Edward Snowden documentary CitizenFour (as well as the upcoming Oliver Stone biopic and Oliver Stone movies in general). We also Skype in Ben from Costa Rica to talk about his Kickstarter project, his post-testicular cancer vision quest and current swing through Central America. He updates us on staying fit and the backpacking ladies, we get in deep to talk about the Oxy epidemic that drove

240: Fifty Shades Of Porn, With Jane Harrison

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2015/02/26

This week on the Frotcast, comedian Jane Harrison joins Matt Lieb, Vince, and Bret in the Frotquarters. We open talking about Mystique from X-Men being the perfect woman, which leads us to the appeal of 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' and pretty much all things porn - watching it, guilt surrounding it, evolution of desires, the search for novelty, whether the younger generation's ideas about sex have been skewed by, whether it changes intimacy in a relationship, etc. etc. It just sort of happened. We also

239: Wetlands, With ‘Party Like A President’ Author...

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2015/02/18

We open this week's show discussing Matt Lieb's romantic Valentine's Day on Snuggly Rock, which leads in to other Valentine's Day stories, and whether we feel pressure to have sex when we can hear lots of sex happening around us. I read the infamous Jack White Guacamole Letter of 2015 and we discuss whether Jack White realizes how insane he sounds. Bret hadn't heard us talk about Jupiter "Bees Recognize Royalty" Ascending yet, and we discuss whether Mila Kunis being able to control bees counts as a

238: Starring Matt Lieb As Christian Grey

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2015/02/13

Comedians Matt Lieb and Torio Van Grol are in the Frotquarters this week, with Film.com's Laremy Legel joining via Skype. We open discussing Matt Lieb's recent audition for Adam Devine's House Party, and lead into arguments about Kurt Cobain and our pitches for Spider-Man now that Marvel is rebooting the franchise. We get into that crazy NY Times article about the internet shame machine and the girl who lost her job and had to move to Africa over a bad AIDS joke. Laremy comes on to talk about his

237: ‘Scarehouse’ Director Gavin Booth

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2015/02/04

Back from hiatus, we've got Matt Lieb and Brendan in the Frotquarters with Ben joining via Skype. We talk about Matt Lieb's newly-acquired quicksand porn (thanks, listeners!), read an alleged treatment for Kevin Spacey's body-swap-with-a-cat comedy sent in by a listener, and talk about my trips to the AVN Awards and to Sundance. Then we bloop in Gavin Booth, director of Scarehouse, to talk about the challenges of shooting a horror movie and being Canadian, and also the dumb things people ask at Q &

236: American Sniper With Matt Ufford, Matt Lieb Eats...

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2015/01/22

American Sniper was the big topic this week, so we all saw it, and invited on my former co-worker and roommate, SB Nation's Matt Ufford, Marine veteran, and host of the new podcast The Inactives. Is the movie any good? Is Chris Kyle a hero? A murderer? Does the film paint fake babies in a false light? Is it a proper representation of military tactics? We answer all these and more, probably the longest we've ever talked about a single movie. Besides that, Bret talks about celebrating his birthday in

235: Laremy, Matt Lieb’s New Haircut

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2015/01/15

We open this week discussing Matt Lieb's new haircut, which makes him a dead ringer for Lena Dunham's boyfriend, Fun guitarist Jack Antonoff. This naturally leads to 'Girls' infamous butt-eating (analingus) scene, which seems to have been written just for Matt. Who famously eats so much butt he has a bib with a picture of a butt on it. Just keeping things high brow like always. After that, the Space Dockett includes: the politicization of Facebook, 'Frank,' and Film.com's Laremy Legel joins us to

234: Obvious Child, Girls Vs. Entourage, The Josh Gad...

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2015/01/08

We've got three comedians in the Frotquarters this week to discuss a movie about a comedian, Obvious Child, along with Bret, who hates comedy, story, humans, and existence itself. Asked by his wife what he wants for Christmas, Bret answers "I don't want to be," and so she bought him a gift certificate to a sensory deprivation tank. Other topics include Collective Soul Bird, 'Girls' Vs. 'Entourage,' the Josh Gad Gad Movie Game, Kid Rock saying rap rock is gay, and lots of weird sex stuff. Guests:

2014/12/17

This week on the Frotcast, Vince, Matt Lieb, and Brendan welcome artist Lucy Owen via Skype. Owen's series of Juggalo portraits, Where The Juggalo Roam, is currently on display in Detroit. We swap her stories about this year's Gathering of the Juggalos with ours about last year's and compare our, American male reactions to the Gathering and Juggalo culture with her British female ones. We also talk about Matt's latest commercial gig. And of course, we couldn't not mention the Sony hack, The

232: The Babadook, and Sony’s Leaked Power Points

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/12/11

SF comedians Jane Harrison and Matt Lieb are in the Frotquarters this week to talk about Australian indie horror The Babadook. But before we get to that, we go through the leaked power points from Sony that show that movie marketing is apparently done by aliens. Seriously though, that company's brainstorming sessions must be pretty f'd up. That of course leads us to Jonah Hill's awesome email and North Korea's insane propaganda. Of course, Sony's marketing plans lead us to wonder, is North Korea the

231: The Nostalgia Industry

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/12/05

Have you noticed that the movie industry is trying to sell our childhoods back to us? Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Dumb and Dumber, Kickboxer, Encino Man, The Crow... the list goes on and on. Are these movies for people who lived through the 90s or those who didn't? That's the topic on our minds this week, as well as 'Sheik,' the documentary about the Iron Sheik, Bret saw Interstellar, Vince saw Exodus, Bret saw The Babadook, and more. Bret, Brendan, Matt Lieb and Vince in the Frotquarters this week,

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/11/20

Bret, Brendan, and San Francisco comedian Jane Harrison are live in the Frotquarters this week to talk Won Ton Ton: The Dog Who Saved Hollywood, a 1976 film starring Madeline Kahn, Bruce Dern, Shecky Greene, Art Carny, and a million other people, which I was sort of hoping would be terrible in a hilarious way, but is actually just not something I would ever recommend to anyone. Ever. Jane described it as “Sort of like a dark The Artist if the dog was trying to f*ck the girl.” Other topics

229: Bad Turn Worse Directors Simon and Zeke Hawkins

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/11/14

It's just Bret and I on this week's podcast, so plenty of room for nihilism and self-loathing. We open discussing Bret catching up with the stuff that's "all that" in pop-culture, like Adult Swim's Too Many Cooks and the Serial podcast. We discuss Serial and whether we think Adnan is guilty, and whether it's all going to end with everyone horribly disappointed. At 25 minutes in, we bring on directors Simon and Zeke Hawkins of Bad Turn Worse, which opens today. They tell us about their favorite Texas

228: Listen Up Philip With OJ Patterson

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/11/06

This week on the Frotcast, San Francisco comedian OJ Patterson joins Vince, Brendan, and Matt Lieb in the Frotquarters to talk about Listen Up Philip, the Jason Schwartzman celebration of navel gazing. We talk about Monique's treatise on "Team Little Dick," the Lena Dunham "molestation" drama, and rank our favorite Christopher Nolan movies, in honor of Interstellar. Enjoy!

227: Coherence, The Three Stages Of Cat Call Thinkpieces

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/10/31

This week on the Frotcast, we open discussing the Giants' World Series win and the respective ways in which we as San Franciscans chose to riot. We discuss some film news, like Seth Rogen being cast as Steve Wozniak in the Steve Jobs biopic, and what an Aaron Sorkin Steve Jobs movie is going to look like. Then we get into the infamous Cat Call Video and the thinkpieces it has spawned, dissecting the three stages of Cat Call thinkpieces. We all saw Coherence, which we discuss (with spoilers) from
