This week on the Frotcast, me (Vince Mancini) and Matt Lieb are in the Frotquarters, joined by comedians Harry Moroz and Yusef Roach to talk about one of the most baffling movies of the last few years: Colin Trevorrow’s Book of Henry. It seemed timely, as Trevorrow recently claimed that Book of Henry is a “carbon copy” of A New Hope, the first Star Wars movie. Also, it’s on HBO Go now. Besides that, we learn about how Yusef grew up idolizing Jack Sparrow living in the Caribbean, how Harry grew u...

This week on the Frotcast, Matt Lieb is back in the studio after getting mobbed, okay mostly yawned at, by Tweens at VidCon, the nation’s foremost gathering of massive celebrities whose fame is confusing for anyone over 20. Comedians Drew Platt and Joe Sinclitico are also in the Frotquarters, to talk about Hereditary and The Incredibles 2, and the joy of watching influencers bomb at stand up. Later we bring on Bobby Roberts from The Portland Mercury to update us on the Star Wars fan backlash sit...

This week on the Frotcast, I’m walkin’ heah! Which is to say, we’re talking Gotti, the first mob movie directed by E from Entourage and apparently written by a bot. Former comedian and current owner of Bernadette’s, the dumbest bar in LA, Jim Van Blaricum joins Vince and Matt in the Frotquarters this week. Other topics include: Vince’s trip to the Aspen Food and Wine Classic, The New Yorker’s horny review of The Incredibles 2 (The Incredibles 2: Unlikely Thirst Trap), and a $350 chocolate bar th...

This week on the Frotcast, we’re recording from the new Frotquarters in LA for the first time ever! But we’ve got that same ol’ Frotcast magic, thanks to returning guests comedian Joe Sinclitico and comedienne Alison Stevenson — with Matt Lieb joining remotely and Vince Mancini handling the controls. This week we’re talking ‘Solo,’ sort of, and the weird, Gam3rg8-esque backlash that’s convinced that Kathleen Kennedy is using Star Wars to advance a “feminist agenda.” We also discuss Gringo, the J...

This week on the Frotcast, comedians Red Scott and Jeff Anaya join Vince and Matt Lieb in the Frotquarters to discuss HBO’s remake of Rad Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 starring Michael B. Jordan and Michael Shannon.

This week on the Frotcast, Francesca Fiorentini and Matt Lieb from AJ+ join to discuss our haters, the IDF, and Donald Glover’s “This Is America.” I also interviewed Ben Fritz about his new book, The Big Picture, in which he explains the reality of the era of franchises and branded content, and how it came to be this way. It’s a pretty solid listen for anyone who’s ever wondered “why doesn’t Hollywood have any new ideas?” After that, we discuss the Bill Murray “classic,” Meatballs (1979), which ...

This week on the Frotcast, Kollin Holtz and Imran G join Vince in the Frotquarters, with Matt Lieb joining en route to his comedy tour in Vegas. The topic is Avengers: Infinity War, but we have a lot of #Content to get through before that.

We discuss “The Redistribution Of Sex” article that got everyone so angry and how to s...

It's Avengers Infinity Wars week on the Frotcast, not because we talk about the Marvel film, but because we're doing our own huge team-up event with past guests Jane Harrison, Allison Mick, Joey Avery, and Matt Lieb all together on the same podcast. We discuss Adam Pally going memorably off-script at the Shorty Awards, with Jane providing additional context on account of she was actually at the awards. Jane also updates us on her rescue cat that tried to kill her. I talk briefly (no spoilers) ab...

Matt Lieb is back in the studio this week with Vince and Brendan, along with guest Steve Bramucci, Uproxx Life editor, for everyone's favorite Frotcast of the year: the Name of the Year draft!

This week on the Frotcast, Francesca Fiorentini from AJ+/Newsbroke joins, along with comedian Kollin Holtz, sitting in with Vince, Brendan, and Matt Lieb. The plan was to talk Last of the Mohicans, but we had a healthy dose of current events ridiculousness to get through first, like the Powder Mountain, the only private ski mountain catering exclusively to assholes. We also talk the Seth Rich conspiracy theorist almost getting murdered by his own employee while checking a dead drop with his dach...

So, I know we didn't do a new show last week, and this week we're doing a Ben tribute episode that's going to be Patreon only. We're getting the whole band back together for that one. Including Bret! So we're going to do that one Patreon only and donate the proceeds to charity. In the meantime, I thought I'd share this interview I did with Phil Rosenthal. Phil created Everybody Loves Raymond and he has a new food show out on Netflix, Somebody Feed Phil. I do a lot of these phone interviews and ...

Almost every living member of the original Frotcast family is back for this double episode extravaganza, starring Laremy Legel, Matt Lieb, Joey Avery, Brendan, and Vince Mancini. This week, we're talking everything from Armond White believing in crisis actors and his Black Panther review, to Game Night, a comedy that actually features crisis actors.

This week on the Frotcast, Dave Lozo from Vice Sports et. al. joins Matt, Vince, and Brendan, to talk about all the dirt dished by Quincy Jones in his latest interview. Namely, what inanimate objects did Marlon Brando and Richard Pryor have sex with while high on drugs in the 70s? Other topics include: The Cloverfield Paradox, Libertarian debate clips, Charlie Sheen and Lenny Dykstra, The Two Bills, Three Billboards, and asinine sports press conferences vs. asinine movie press conferences and mo...

The big news this week is that our Frotcast co-host Matt Lieb finally got put on a list of objectionable Jews, by Wisconsin congressional candidate Paul Nehlen. Also, thanks to a video he made about the simultaneous rise of Anti-Semitism and Israel-filia in the alt-right, got called out by an atheist Canadian kangaroo on YouTube. Leading to the definining question of 2018, "why is the atheist Canadian kangaroo mad at me?" SB Nation's Matt Ufford joins this week for that, plus we discuss a few Os...

This week on the Frotcast, comedians Matt Lieb and Joey Avery join Vince in the studio as we bring on Matt Christman (Cushbomb) from Chapo. We discuss Boss Baby, including Christman's theory of the Boss Baby Universe, and then we do selected readings from Steven Seagal's book, The Way Of The Shadow Wolves: The Deep State and the Hijacking of America (with foreward by Joe Arpaio). What exactly does the "deep state" want, according to Steven Seagal? Come for his code name for George Soros, stay fo...

We ring in the first Frot of 2018 with Allison Mick, Matt Lieb, Vince Mancini, and Brendan, discussing the Golden Globes and Alex Jones's take on the "Oprah for president" meme. We talk the "raw water" movement and discover that fluoridated water is the new blood libel. We discuss some of the week's best sex scandal callouts, starting with James Franco. Would the feminists deny us "Dicknose In Paris?" We go deep on Hotep conspiracies, and finish things off with Allison Mick's Unified Theory of J...

It's here! After another year of the Frotcast in the books, listener Schnitzel Bob edited up a compilation of this year's best bits from the Frotcast (or Schnitzel Bob's favorites, anyway). It's hard to say whether this is more of a greatest hits or a blooper reel. Or whether those things are different on the Frotcast. This has everything, from Royalty Freestyle songs to terrible accents to strange characters to celebrity stories and more terrible accents. Matt's Alex Jones impression, Vince's n...

TO AVOID STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI SPOILERS, SKIP MINUTE 14 TO MINUTE 55. That's right, this week we're talking Star Wars: The Last Jedi, with guests Matt Lieb from The Star Wars Show, PR man and author Ed Zitron, and comedian Jacob Sirof (joining me, Vince Mancini from FilmDrunk). But first, we discuss Wyatt Koch, heir to the Koch Brothers' fortune, and his fascinating line of horrendously ugly shirts (failsons being relevant to the Star Wars universe). After that we've got a HEATED Star Wars: T...

In a special Hannukkah episode, we've invited three of our favorite Jewishes (read this with a soft J to denote respect) on the Frotcast, comedians Matt Lieb and Alison Stevenson, and showrunner Justin Halpern to join Vince and Brendan. We discuss whether Roy Moore losing was a Ben miracle (RIP), talk Inside Lacrosse's All-Name Team, and comb through the recently discovered Daily Stormer Nazi style guide. Alison Stevenson comes on to discuss her recent trip Tindering her way through Seoul, and J...

Greg Sestero is perhaps best known for playing Mark in The Room ("Oh, hi, Mark."). He's also the co-author of The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, The Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made. Michael Rousselet is co-director of Dude Bro Party Massacre III, which also stars Greg Sestero. Rousselet also happens to be one of the first people to discover The Room, helping to make it a cult hit, who's credited for starting many of The Room's now familiar audience participation trends, like throwing spo...
