UNLOCKED: Frotcast 454: Toobin On Sorkin In ‘Trial Of The Chicago 7’

Hey all, this episode is from our Patreon bonus episodes but we feel like you piggies needed a free one. Here it is: This week on the Frot, we’re talking about the hot new Sacha Baron Cohen project currently setting the internet wags on fire. That’s right, I’m talking about The Trial Of The Chicago 7, Aaron Sorkin’s new Netflix joint about hippies, protests, the radical left, broads who need a good talking to, brave men in uniform, and courtrooms (you’re free until next week, Rudy Giuliani). We...

TEASER – Kirsten Johnson From ‘Dick Johnson Is Dead’

For the full version of this interview, subscribe at Patreon.com/Frotcast. — I normally avoid any movies about dementia like the plague, but one I loved is Dick Johnson Is Dead, in which documentarian Kirsten Johnson imagines all kinds of death scenarios for her father, Dick, who has recently been diagnosed with dementia, and has him help her reenact them on film. Dick Johnson is delightful and a great sport, and the movie is not only delightful and funny, but dare I say it, weirdly uplifting ...

Frotcast Bonus: Billy Corben And Alfred Spellman For ‘537 Votes’

Normally this is the kind of thing I’d probably post on the premium feed for our Patreon subscribers (Patreon.com/Frotcast) but this interview seems, dare I say it… too important for that? Understanding what happened in 2000 in Florida, and specifically in Miami, and how it got us to where we are today seems like required viewing going into this election. That’s the subject of ‘537 Votes,’ the new documentary on HBO from director Billy Corben and his producing partner Alfred Spellman, whose film...

This week, Vince and Matt watched the new Bill and Ted movie featuring two very decrepit Hollywood icons, Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter playing characters that were cultural zombies back in ’89. So you can imagine how stoked we were when the filmmakers decided to keep them exactly the same in this sequel that nobody asked fo...

Hey it’s time for another week of your favorite movie podcast probably! This week, Matt and Vince got a screener of Unhinged, the new Russell Crowe thriller about road rage or cancel culture or something. The boys break down the various themes and motifs of the film and how the mise en scène really blah blah blah I honestly know so little about film I can’t even fake a satirical post mocking it. Vince should really by the one writing these descriptions. He’s much better at it. Also, we talked a...

Now that I’ve explained what podcasting is to you fine people, I think it’s best that I tell you what we talked about this week.

Frotcast 445: Caddyshack 40, Hillary 4 Hour, With Joey Avery

Caddyshack turns 40 this week, and since I had to watch it to write about, I made Matt watch it and talk about it with me and then we invited Joey Avery to discuss it with us. Caddyshack was slightly before our times but we still kind of like it, and I was curious what someone slightly younger, like Joey would think. Like was this just the era that was the first time Boomers got to drink and do drugs on film, or is it actually good beyond that in a way that holds up? So we’ve got that discussion...

Frotcast 443: The Thing About Hamilton, With Francesca Fiorentini And Andrew Law

The time has finally come for the Frotcast to discuss Hamilton, a play Matt has seen and loved and thus far failed to convince me (Vince) to watch. UNTIL NOW!

In this week’s Frotcast, Allison Mick returns to the Frot. We discuss my awkward interview with Steve Guttenberg, the pile on over Chris D’Elia (alleged sex pest), and Jeremy Piven’s exhorbitant price for a Zoom call. Oh, and we’re celebrating 10 years of the Frot!
