FilmDrunk Frotcast

This week, Vince returns from Fantastic Fest to discuss what went down and the movies he saw and the FilmDrunkards he met, and shooting shotguns with Keanu Reeves. Ben is near Stanford for chemo, but he saw World War Z, which he discusses, which leads us into our favorite zombie movies. We answer a couple of your email questions, including the guy who tells us what it’s like living next to Guy Fieri, and a question about whether teams like the Redskins should change their name. We talk about the girl on a quest to make 300 sandwiches for her loser boyfriend, and whether we were disappointed about Horse E-Books, and finish things off with a truncated version of the Name Draft. To be continued….

This week on the Frotcast, one of our favorite local comedians Matt Lieb joins us in Frotquarters. Brendan talks about watching football with super conservatives, Jaden Smith and Tyler Perry have an Existential Buffon-off, Ben shares what its like to go to store sperm, we read listener emails, and play some clips.

Here’s your bonus Frotcast, my interview with Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World). The final film in his Cornetto trilogy, The World’s End, opens this Friday, and we talk about his tendency to actually engage with nerd/fanboy culture, the qualities that make him a film director, whether Simon Pegg is actually “the serious one” in their relationship, his upcoming gig directing Ant Man for Marvel (coming 2015), and whether he knows the plural of “thesis.” Enjoy, and check out The World’s End August 23rd! http://filmdrunk.uproxx.com/2013/08/edgar-wright-interview-the-worlds-end-ant-man

Bret, Ben and Vince all saw Elysium which Vince liked the most. Ben and Bret both enjoyed the visuals but felt the story was weak. Ben shares some medical news he got this week.

Bit of a departure from your usual Frotcast this week, as Ben had to fly straight from Chicago to Seattle for a work retreat, and he had the mixers and mics in his bag. So we couldn’t record a normal ‘cast (other than the one we already recorded at The Gathering that you can buy), but Matt Lieb, Ben, and I did get to talk to comedian Dante Nero after his set at The Gathering over the weekend for 40 minutes or so. It’s an iPhone recording, so the quality isn’t amazing, but we had a pretty great conversation about trying to do comedy at The Gathering, comedy in general, and calling out joke thieves. Check out our live reports from The Gathering: http://filmdrunk.uproxx.com/2013/08/gathering-of-the-juggalos-tour-diary-day-two Check out Dante Nero on The Beige Philip Show: http://beigephillip.com/

The crew of Vince, Ben, Laremy and Matt are departing on Wednesday into the heart of Juggalo nation- traveling to the Gathering of the Juggalos. So this week we have Matt in Frotquarters and bloop in Laremy to talk a little about our upcoming adventure. We also bloop in Burnsy for Burnsy’s Corner and he shares Corey Feldman’s new single as well as an 80s fraternity rush rap. We read listener emails, play some voicemails, and frot on.

This week we bloop in two great guests. First we talk to Matt Ufford from SB Nation about Hot Sprots Takes and he dominates your relationship questions. Then we bring on Sammy Obeid, who is 949 days into his 1,000 days in a row of stand up comedy. He tells us how the 1,000 days got started, if he ever thought about quitting, and his high and low lights. This was a fun one, so enjoy and Frot On.
