FilmDrunk Frotcast

Hey all, Here is a sneak peak of this week’s Patreon-only episode of the Frotcast, in which we invited George Chen and Paco Romane of the Sup Doc podcast to talk about some documentaries that we saw, as well as other things. One huge surprise was learning that Werner Herzog did an entire documentary about dwarves. The following is our guess about what that must have been like. To hear the full episode, become a Patron at www.patreon.com/frotcast Enjoy!

We did it again! Against the wishes of Vince Mancini who hates his own face, the Frotcast has gone live again for a second time. This time there were a few less technical difficulties and we spent way less time talking movies because let’s be honest, who cares about movies? This week our guest was Jason Webb and we talked about the movie The White Tiger, as well as the “documentary” In and Of Itself which is basically Nanette for magicians. It’s impossible to describe without going insane so you may have to watch it in order to understand how frustrating of movie/magic special it was for us. We also trade dad stories, which is just *chefs kiss* Enjoy! And make sure to subscribe to the Frotcast YouTube Channel!

We did it y’all. The Frotcast has completed their first ever live stream and boy was it slightly less chaotic than we thought it would be. For those of you out there who have no interest in watching two grown ass men do a video podcast, we present to you the audio version of our stream. And for those of you who weren’t alerted to the stream beforehand and are sad that you missed it, you can rewatch here. https://youtu.be/yWXPZFQ3Nhs And don’t you worry, this was just a dry run. There will be more live streams in the future and we will do a better job of publicizing them next time. Enjoy our conversation about the movie First Cow, film twitter, Armie Hammer, and our attempt at taking live calls.

Frotcast x White Slavery, the collab! On this week’s crossover episode of the Frotcast and the White Slavery podcast, Kaseem Bentley and Murahd Shawki join Matt and Vince for a lively conversation about the latest peliculas and noticias celebridad. Oops, I seem to have slipped into my native tongue there. You’ll have to pardon me, it’s just that my parents retired in Ethpaña. That’s right, we’re discussing this week’s funniest story: that Alec Baldwin’s wife has been calling herself “Hilaria” and telling people she was born in Spain when apparently she was actually born in Massachusetts with dubious claims to any Spanish ancestry and was named Hilary Hayword-Thomas (ALLEGEDLY). But as Alec Baldwin says… …. … … consider the source … … … consider the source … After that we talk Wonder Woman 1984, and whether it’s Zionist propaganda or just kind of lazy. What are Wonder Woman’s actual powers? Does she have to move every few years when people notice she isn’t aging? Did she really save herself for Chris Pine for 66 years? Why does he know how to fly a jet? And why is this movie set in 1984? Ponder all this and more while smoking your favorite new strain of weed, Magic Oprah.

It’s the most lumderful time of the year and we are so happy that you are spending some of that time with the Frotcast. This week we are joined by comedian and Frotcast favorite Jessica Sele, live from an undisclosed quarantine location in Los Angeles, where she joins Matt and Vince in discussing Tom Cruise’s COVID rant, HBO’s The Undoing, and an update on Matt’s hatred of the FX/Hulu series A Teacher. Plus, Matt brings back Royalty Freestyle just in time for the holidays. Merry Christmas from the whole frot family!

If you love Mank puns and content in general, become a Frotcast Patron now at Patreon.com/Frotcast to hear the full episode. Description: By now you’ve noticed the internet’s recent obsession with dank Mank memes and this week Vince and Matt have decided to see what the hubbub is all about with David Fincher’s new Netflix feature Mank. Mank is the story of screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz, widely known as the guy who co-wrote Citizen Kane. The movie is 2+ hours of Gary Oldman pretending to be his arch nemesis, a Hollywood socialist Jew. Despite being in black and white and trying very hard to do an art, the movie was a solid B+. Also, the boys discuss that drunk “Stop the Steal” girl Mellissa Carone and her recent legal troubles and sordid past as a dancer at the Bada Bing. Seriously. She worked the Bing. I’m not even fucking joking. Jokes are officially dead. Enjoy!

This week, me and Vince invited Jason Webb to the frotquarters to have him play the token hillbilly during our discussion of Netflix’s Hillbilly Elegy, a Ron Howard adaptation of JD Vance’s 2016 memoir of the same name. Having actually read the book, Vince was able to give some key insights into where the film and book diverge. And having been a hill person, Jason Webb was able to give some key insights into living life as someone who regularly gets in fist fights with his family. Also, I was there just talmbout lumming. We also discuss Jeffrey Toobin’s firing, Four Seasons Total Landscaping, Dean Brownings gay black alt twitter account, and much more! It’s a great episode and I can’t wait for you to listen.

Trust me, this is an episode worth subscribing for. Become a Frotcast Patron now at Patreon.com/Frotcast to hear the full episode. Full Description: You’re in luck, Frotcast subscribers, because we have an incredible episode for you. Comedian Joe Sinclitico is joining us live from his drive through Oregon, where he has moved since the quarantine began, and where he has started a winery slash food truck slash petting zoo. This is not a joke. You can go to Oregon right now and buy food and wine from a truck where Joe works while you also pet giant rabbits, and in the future maybe also frolic with a big menagerie of miniature animals. It’s also a HUGE week for current events, and we discuss everything from Rudy Giuliani apparently cutting a hot fart over a hot mic during a legal proceeding — has any public figure ever been on the kind of comedic streak Rudy is on right now? — to one of Rudy’s witnesses, a blonde lady who seems to be drunk and/or high on Xanax who sounds exactly like a drunken bridesmaid berating a comedy club bouncer. Oh but that’s not all. We also recount the lesser-known story of an audio content provider that was forced to apologize after they accidentally let a white guy read a black woman’s essay about Outkast. Which, honestly, doesn’t SOUND that offensive, until you hear the actual audio, which is… just incredible. We finish things off with a voicemail from a listener who has a story about Josh Gad. It’s probably the best show of the year.

For the low, low price of just $5, we have a brand new Frotcast on the premium feed, Patreon.com/Frotcast. Definitely subscribe there. For everyone else, there is this older one.  This week on the Frotcast, everyone’s favorite, Jessica Sele is back, and she’s helping Vince and Matt discuss all the latest developments in the world of film and culture. For instance, Vin Diesel has a new single out, that he introduced on the Kelly Clarkson show. We discuss the way Vin Diesel has taught himself to speak in Mongolian throat singing, and how his social media posts full of ellipses actually mimic his true speaking voice. That leads us into a breakdown of the Vin Diesel/The Rock beef, Jessica talks about surfing as part of recovery, and Matt reveals that he has spent the past week watching all of Cobra Kai and the first three Karate Kid movies and now he has some theories. In fact it turns out, Matt may have become radicalized by Karate Kid. We finish things up with some of your emails and voicemails, and answer your question about which Hollywood star would be the best replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court. As always, thank you for listening.

Frot-fans! We have a brand new Frotcast for the Patrons at Patreon.com/Frotcast. We’d love it if you became a Patron and listened to our newest one! But all piggies are loved in their own special way, so we’re also unlocking Frotcast 452 from a few months ago. Enjoy! — Hey everyone, long time no Frot! Sorry about the delay, we are full steam ahead with season 3 of Pod Yourself A Gun so the frot had to take a slight back seat. But we just had to give our patreon piggies something to nosh on and figured we should watch the movie that literally everyone is talking about. That’s right, we watch the controversial French film Cuties from director Maïmouna Doucouré. Cuties a coming-of-age art house flick that Netflix decided to promote as if it were Bring It On for pretweens. Depending on who you ask, it’s either a movie about French/Senegalese 11 year old girls who form a dance troop and discover their sexuality, or it’s about making pedos horny. The right wing has decided this movie is softcore porn and simultaneously urging people to see it. Weird time to be alive. Vince and Matt talk Cuties as well as the new JK Rowling book about a serial killer posing as a transgender to kill women, plus Vince reads the best Mormon names from BYU’s 2020 roster. It’s a great episode. Enjoy and eat the beans.
