FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/10/23

The whole gang minus Ben is in the Frotquarters this week, and we open talking about Renée Zellweger thinkpieces. That leads us into her new faith-based movie project, Same Kind Of Different As Me, in which a Texas couple seems to have manifested their own magical negro. We bring on Laremy from Film.com who saw Birdman and Fury, we argue about our favorite films of the year so far and whether Michael Keaton is going to win the Oscar. Matt Lieb talks about the time he tried to interview the Linkin

225: Parry Gripp of Nerf Herder, Discussing Fight Church

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/10/15

This week, we interview Parry Gripp of Nerf Herder and YouTube/jingle fame, and discuss the new documentary Fight Church. Bret (the Dark Lord), Brendan (future NFL hall of famer/human giant), and comedian Matt Lieb (yogurt pimp) are all in the Frotquarters this week, with Parry joining via Skype. We talk about Fight Church, about MMA-fighting Christian pastors, discussing whether the tough-guy pastor is a new phenomenon, and whether 'is MMA compatible with being a Christian' even the right question

2014/10/09

San Francisco comedian Jane Harrison joins us in the Frot-quarters to talk Gone Girl, as does Ben. In discussing Gone Girl, and crazy Amy, and how over-the-top the third act is, we remember the time Ben dated a girl who looked a lot like Amazin' Amy and ended up lying about having inoperable brain cancer. Bret then reveals that before he found out she had been lying, he just didn't hear about her for a while and assumed that she died. And never asked Ben about it, which to me says a lot about how

223: Zero Theorem and Tusk with Andrew Roberts

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/10/02

It's the skeleton crew in the frotquarters this week, just Bret and Vince, as we welcome San Francisco comedian and all-around Australian guy Andrew Roberts. During the intro Andrew thanks me for introducing him as a comedian, saying "Well I'd rather be introduced as that than a wanker." Andrew tells us all about the process of emigrating for love, and getting married for love and a green card, and then subsequently getting divorced for lack of love and an inability to have threesomes with black men

222: The Frotcast Crew Reunites For Bill & Ted’s...

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/09/25

The full Frotcast crew, Vince, Ben, Bret, Brendan, and Matt, are all together in the Frotquarters for the first time in years to discuss Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure before a House of Prime Rib dinner. The Frotcast's Excellent Meat Reward, call it. We open talking about Bill Simmons' suspension from ESPN and the confusing nature of the NFL and ESPN's supposed independence. MANDY IS A FOOL.This leads us to a discussion of Kevin Smith's new movie Tusk, which was of course based on a podcast,

221: Rating Alison Stevenson’s Dick Pics

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/09/17

This week on the FilmDrunk Frotcast, we invite comedian, VICE and FilmDrunk contributor, and online dater Alison Stevenson into the Frotquarters to read from her creepiest Tinder and OKCupid messages, and we rate the quality of dick pics she has received. We also talk about porn and the first time we all masturbated, then we Skype in Ben and talk about the various NFL debacles involving Ray Rice, Roger Goodell, and Adrian Peterson, and discuss Ken Burns and his new documentary about The Roosevelts

220: The Room, with former Tommy Wiseau Employee...

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/09/11

If you've ever seen The Room, the biggest question on your mind is most likely: who is this Tommy Wiseau and where did he come from? Wiseau reportedly spent $6 million of his own money making the best/worst classic, and not only does no one really know where he made so much that he could afford this, they don't know Tommy's country of origin (a Redditor recently claimed Poland, which is entirely plausible). He has an Eastern European accent and seems to speak French, but claims to be from Louisiana

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/09/03

This week on the Frotcast, Matt Lieb, Bret, and Brendan are live with Vince in the Frotquarters (plus Laremy Legel on Skype) for a Frotcast about the great celebrity nude leak of 2014, aka The Fappening. We talk about the impulse to take nudes, as well as the impulse to criticize people when bad things happen to them. As usual, Bret thinks he can trace the cognitive roots of these impulses in his newly-named, Disturbed-inspired segment, "Down With The Thinkness."Before we get to that, we open the

218: The Sopranos Ending, Joe Sinclitico Pitches Movies

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/08/28

Comedian Joe Sinclitico and old favorite Ben Kaplan join Bret and Vince this week. We open discussing reporters pestering Sopranos creator David Simon about the Sopranos finale and DOES TONY DIE! We wonder, what is the impulse that makes people ask questions about an ending that they've already seen? Is it the same impulse that makes them try to explain what's in the suitcase in Pulp Fiction? As always, Bret has a lot of thoughts, some involving Thanatos. That seemed a little heavy for the first

217: Hey, What’s Up With Millennials? Creed, Locke, &...

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/08/21

This week, Ben returns from his Eat, Pray, Love trip in Asia for a Frotcast about Tom Hardy's Locke. Well, it was *supposed* to be about Locke, anyway. We start out doing some Creed impressions, which, to be fair, are almost impossible to stop doing. From there we move into a story about my electric car, then we end up talking about Ferguson and cops and stuff for a while, until Bret gets even more nihilistic. We quickly need to find something to make fun of, which brings us to a New York Times

216: Robin Williams, Guardians of the Galaxy, And...

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/08/13

I really hope you are already feeling sad and hopeless! Otherwise, we're probably gonna make you feel sad and hopeless with this new episode of the Frotcast. Not that we don't try our best to inject some humor into this cauldron of chaos that has been bubbling up all around us and scalding our souls (i.e. Robin Williams suicide, cops murdering Michael Brown, the new TMNT movie, etc.), but it's honestly really hard to make any of those subjects funny. But we try, oh my GOD do we try.This week,

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/08/07

This week on the Frotcast, we've got Brendan and Matt Lieb in the Frotquarters, with "Film Critic" author Laremy Legel joining us via Skype. We open the show talking about how we're going to talk about The Raid, and the difference between Silat and Muay Thai. Matt Lieb talks about his bar fighting experiences (mostly theoretical) and that somehow leads us into a discussion of Pumping Iron, and Brendan's dead-on Lou Ferrigno impression. Lou Ferrigno's gullibility leads us into a discussion of sales

214: Blue Ruin With Macon Blair

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/07/31

Comedians Matt Lieb and OJ Patterson join this week with Brendan returning as we welcome Macon Blair to talk about his starring role in Blue Ruin. We open the show welcoming Brendan back to the Frotquarters for the first time as a married-ass dude. He tells about finally getting to score and we talk about which jams got the people on the dance floor at his wedding, and whether he kept his "Return of the Mack" streak alive, leading to an impromptu sing-along sesh, as often happens on the Frotcast

213: Under The Skin, Chinese Sperm Extractor Fiction

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/07/23

Comedian Matt Lieb and regular Bret join Vince Mancini of FilmDrunk in the Frotquarters this week, to discuss the Scarlett Johansson-naked classic Under The Skin and read futuristic fiction about Chinese automatic sperm extractors. With Luc Besson's 'Lucy' opening this week, starring Scarlett Johansson, we decided to catch up on ScarJo's last star turn, Under the Skin, from Sexy Beast director Jonathan Glazer. Bret liked it more than the rest of us, but for the most part, we thought the handful of

212: Snowpiercer, Comcast, Richard Linklater, and...

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/07/16

This week we welcome Massachusetts's own Steve Post, comic and San Francisco resident, to discuss Snowpiercer, our nightmarish calls and experiences with Comcast and the state of customer service in general, as well as Richard Linklater and movies that made us cry. We also talk about going into Trader Joe's still wearing your bike helmet, Gilbert Gottfried's incredible Bob Saget roast (flashback!), and our bad student films and why they always involve suicide. Enjoy! Snowpiercer starts at 51 minutes

211: They Came Together, with Justin Halpern

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/07/10

This week we've got Matt Lieb and Bret coming at you live (I think. Not sure what “live” actually means) from the Frotquarters in San Francisco. We talk about Bret's ghost and how Matt lives in a paradox of being an atheist who's scared of ghosts.Later, we're joined by Justin Halpern (Shit My Dad Says, Surviving Jack, future awesome things) and we discuss David Wain's romantic comedy spoof “We Came Together” starring Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler. I'd like to preemptively apologize for Halpern's shitty

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/07/03

Bret, comedian Matt Lieb, and SB Nation's Matt Ufford join this week's podcast, on the subject of Weekend At Bernie's (turning 25) and HBO's The Leftovers. We open talking about Gary the Goat and Jimbo the Australian, and rural Australiana in general. This leads us to Nathan For You, and whether it's real or not, and whether that matters. We wonder what's going on in the background at Ufford's, and it turns out he's been making a nice summer salad this whole time. We talk a bit about the World Cup

Frotcast 209: Pain And Gain, The Handjob Robot

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/06/27

It's just Vince, Matt Lieb, and Bret in the Frotquarters for a Transformers-week podcast on Michael Bay's LAST movie, Pain And Gain. We weren't about to sit through three hours of Transformers, so we just watched P & G on Netflix. We also discuss Gary Oldman's quasi-anti-semitic Playboy interview and ensuing kerfuffle with the Anti-Defamation League and Abe Foxman. We also talk about Spike Lee's new comments about "America's addiction to violence," as well as whether he's just out of touch these

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/06/20

Comedian Alison Stevenson and our old pal Bret join us in the Frotquarters this week for the most fun Frotcast we've had in a while. We cover a lot of topics because we're drinking, from the best of Alison's online dating pick-up lines, to Laremy reading the meanest comments on his Clint Eastwood article. We open with Alison reading us her creepiest messages, then transition into a local news story about an angry motorcycler and the inherent smarm of local news. We answer a reader question about

Frotcast 207: Rob Riggle, PCU, And Dumb and Dumber To

FilmDrunk Frotcast ·

2014/06/12

Comedian David Gborie joins Brendan & Vince in Frotquarters to discuss PCU, the Dumb and Dumber To trailer, and the drone kid and his indiegogo lawsuit whiner campaign. I also, you can hear my phone interview with Rob Riggle! We open talking about Dumb and Dumber To on suggestion from a listener voicemail. We talk about that, and weird nostalgia pimping in general. After that, there's my Rob Riggle Interview. We come back around the 26 min mark talking about improv vs. stand up, and how us stand ups
