The Frotcast reviews HBO’s ‘The Idol’ on this week’s podcast, with guest Sam Haft from The Living Tombstone. ‘The Idol’ stars Johnny Depp-spawn Lily Rose-Depp and pop star The Weeknd, aka Abel Tesfaye, whose actual house is the location for the show. It adds to the growing Sam Levinson oeuvre, the brainchild of Barry Levinson’s director son who seems to really love filming naked ladies with strobey visuals and bombastic scores. Bret called ‘The Idol’ “50 Shades of Entourage” on our text chain. We will defend Sam Levinson’s right to film other famous kids naked and horny art in general, even if we can’t entirely stand behind this show. Subscribe on Patreon for the full episode!

Other topics include the British guy in hot water for his eggplant statement and the Jason Momoa/Vin Dieself beef.

The Frotcast is back with another together-in-the-studio episode! It was just like old times this week, with Vince in LA to record live with Matt at Frot Studio South, and Roundball Rock host Joey Devine guesting, to talk about an actual movie.

This week we all saw Air, the heartwarming story of how Sonny Vaccaro got Michael Jordan to come to Nike starring Matt Damon as Vaccaro and Ben Affleck (who also directed) as Nike’s Phil Knight. Is Ben Affleck a good director? Do all 80s movies look the same now? Does Nike really need a puff piece? We answer all these questions and more.

If you don’t care about that, don’t worry, we have many other topics to discuss as well. We breakdown Johnny Depp’s deranged Q&A from Cannes, Mark Wahlberg’s incredible prayer video, and had Joey and Matt try to guess what movie analogy Elon Musk would reach for to try to explain his posting. Oh, and Jude Law had a perfume made from doo-doo because method acting! You’re going to love it. Also, there’s a video version on our YouTube page if you want also to see our dumb faces. Subscribe at Patreon.com/Frotcast for all of this content and more.

If you liked Borat or Nathan For You, I think you’re going to enjoy Paul T. Goldman. Director Jason Woliner directed Borat 2 and a few episodes of Nathan For You, but this time around says he was inspired by things like Grizzly Man and American Movie (I would stick Windy City Heat in there too). Basically 11 or 12 years ago this guy, Paul T. Goldman, starting tweeting at Jason Woliner (among many other directors) trying to get Jason interested in directed Paul’s life story. Paul had supposedly been taken advantage of by his ex-wife (his second, the first was a mail-order bride from the Ukraine) and had written not only a memoir about it, but a whole series of detective fiction starring himself, trying to stop human trafficking, which he believed this ex-wife was involved in.

Woliner did direct Paul’s life story, starring Paul as Paul, but he also shot a documentary about the making of said show, and also a documentary trying to get to the truth of Paul’s whole story. The show, produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, is this mix of all three — Paul’s show, the making of Paul’s show, and Jason’s story trying to figure out what the hell actually happened. I obviously enjoyed it, so I thought I’d share my two interviews with Jason Woliner here with you.

Here’s this week’s Frotcast and a reminder that this Saturday, Jan 28 at 10pm we’ll be at SF Sketchfest with Pod Yourself A Gun! Please buy your tickets and tell your friends. PLEASE COME!

Merry Christmas and Chappy Chanukah, Frot-sters! In honor of Jesus (and also the Maccabees)’s special day(s), I’m unlocking this Frotcast even for the free feed piggies. This one has me, Matt, and Joe Sinclitico, and we start off discussing Matt’s new child and his post-partum horniness. Then we get into Kanye on Alex Jones, where he discussed loving ALOOTTTTTTTA THINNNNNGS about Hitler (Ye’s words). Finally, we wrap things up with a discussion of Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical coming-of-age tale about becoming an acclaimed director thanks to his parents’ divorce and that time he got to score because some weird girl had a crush on Jesus. Also, his mom had a monkey.

Good Night And Good Cuck

Director Billy Corben is absolutely SMASHING the record for the director with the most Frotcast appearances, with three or maybe even four already. Who can even say?! The man behind Cocaine Cowboys, The U, 537 Votes, Screwballs, et. al. is always a great interview — a “raconteur,” you might even say, which happens to be the name of his production company — so any time he has a movie out it’s a great excuse to get him on.

This week (month?) he has ‘God Forbid’ out on a Hulu, a documentary about Jerry Falwell Jr.’s swingery relationship with a “Miami pool boy” named Giancarlo Granda, who was really only a pool boy for one year of his life but now is forever associated with the phrase because of the scandal. Jerry ALLEGEDLY liked to watch Giancarlo have sex with his wife, Becki, but, because Giancarlo and Jerry caught tied up in a real estate deal with some sketchy Miami dudes, they ended up suing and the whole pool boy/swinger thing got out. ALSO, Trump lawyer Michael Cohen knew about the relationship and has claimed that he used this knowledge as leverage in trying to get Jerry Jr. to support Trump’s bid for president — which Jerry Jr did, and probably had some hand in evangelicals voting for Trump in record numbers.

Phew, now you know why this conversation lasted for a whole hour. Lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what have yous. Hope you enjoy, and don’t forget to check out God Forbid on Hulu.
