FilmDrunk Frotcast

Hey, Frotcasters. Nice little treat for the free feed this week: I got to talk to BJ Novak for his new movie, Vengeance. You most likely know BJ Novak as Ryan from The Office, and that was about all I knew about Vengeance before I put it on. It turned out to be a funny riff on NPR and the podcast world, and making fun of NPR is of course very much up our alley here on the Frotcast (staaaaaged). BJ plays a wannabe Ira Glass type who goes to West Texas to do a podcast about the death of some girl he was hooking up with but doesn’t remember that well. It sort of evolves from a fish-out-of-water, Doc-Hollywood-with-a-podcaster type comedy to something almost resembling a thriller. It has Boyd Holbrook from Narcos and Ashton Kutcher, both doing some of their best work. It should be playing in a theater not too far from you right now. Anyway, I talked up BJ about NPR, working on Punk’d, and that quote about him saying going to Harvard made it harder that went around last week.

Hey all,

Special treat for you this week as Matt and Matt’s wife Francesca went to Fresno to visit Vince and recorded a pod! It’s a great episode! Listen to the whole thing now on Patreon!

DESCRIPTION:

For the first time in what seems like years, the Frotcast is all back under the same roof. This week, Matt and wife/guest Francesca Fiorentini headed to the magical land of Fresno, CA to visit Vince and his wife and his beautiful new born baby. We all watched the new Netflix doc series about Woodstock 99 “Clusterf**k: Woodstock ’99” and talked endlessly about how it’s a lot better than the HBO Max documentary from a year earlier, but also dissect what makes Woodstock 99 so fascinating, and whether boomers trying to blame Fred Durst for telling people to break stuff rather than own up to gouging kids for water is an eerie harbinger for the current political era. We discuss some super annoying criticism of the reality series “Love is Blind,” with an appearance from Matt’s newest character, “Crying Buzzfeed Reporter.” Finally, it’s Matt’s 13th year of sobriety, so we kinda talk about that but not really. Enjoy hearing us all in the same room!

Hey, remember ‘The Slap?’ When Will Smith slapped Chris Rock onstage at the Oscars? It was such a huge deal that we called an emergency pod about it the morning after it happened. And now YOU, the non-subscribing Frotcast enthusiast, can finally enjoy Vince, Matt, and special guests Joe Sinclitico and Laremy Legel’s takes on it.

Also, we have an Ezra Miller update. Warning, we may have forgotten about their pronouns during the first part of the conversation and Matt tried his best to edit the correct pronouns into the pod but at some point he just said fuck it. Our bad!

This week Matt and Vince celebrate 500 episodes of the Frotcast (well, way more but who’s counting) by having just another regular ass episode of the show with guest Joey Devine of Roundball Rock. We talk about the return of Moviepass, Reacher, and some other stuff. It’s great.

What’s up, Frotcast fans. It’s a huge week, in that Matt Lieb just got married. He’s currently in Mexico, so it’s a good thing that we recorded this Frotcast just before he left. We brought back Joe Sinclitico, comedy extraordinaire and current winery food truck proprietor, with whom we discuss all things weddings, the movie Top Gun, Joe’s Jessica Alba Story, Seth Green’s stolen Bored Ape NFTs and more. We hope you all enjoy at LEAST enough to subscribe on the Patreon, where for the low low price of $5 you can obtain access to the full episode as well as all manner of past full episodes. Tumescent episodes. Turgid episodes, with which to fill your ear holes with content cream. Oops I have to go, got too horny.

Last week I got to talk to Pauly Shore for the 30th anniversary of Encino Man, and now I’m sharing the audio version for you earholes. This was a pretty cool interview, because as you can hear, I wore out quite a few Pauly Shore movies back when I was a kid. I also think he’s a really interesting character, who sort of got unfairly punished just for getting famous right at the tail end of the hair metal era. Not to mention having had an interesting life, being the son of the owners of the Comedy Store and becoming basically a superstar in his early twenties. As you can hear, he’s still a pretty funny dude. One of my favorite things about this was Pauly effortlessly shutting down my attempts to riff with him, which to me ended up being way funnier than if he’d actually played along and yes-anded me. “What? Yeah, whatever, anyway..”

Like I said, I think Pauly is a super interesting guy and I hope you guys enjoy listening to this interview as much as I enjoyed doing it. Frot on.
