On this week’s Frot, Alison Stevenson returns from LA where she recently moved to pursue her dream of becoming a Palindrome Android, and we talk Killer Joe (briefly), Armond White calling Samuel L. Jackson an Uncle Tom, Jodie Foster’s Golden Globes speech, Dredd 3D, whether there’s more than one good Michael Crichton movie, and of course answer all your questions about relationships and poop. Alison shares the story that led up to her crying during a preview for Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. I’ve got time-stamped notes after the jump courtesy of Adam.

- 00:02:30 – The guys start of the Frotcast with a discussion about video game pricing for your smart phones and tablets. A new feature is created: Things Ben Hasn’t Ruined. Vince plays a clip of Armond White calling Samuel L. Jackson an Uncle Tom based on his film roles, which leads to some talk about Django Unchained and Luther Campbell calling out Spike Lee. They also talk about movie critics, envision the interactions between Quentin Tarantino and the Coke Wizard, and Brendan gives his reasons for not caring about award shows.
- 00:26:20 – Vince plays Jodi Foster’s incoherent, Aaron Sorkin-esque speech at the Golden Globes. The guys get into how the lack of human interaction can affect one’s conversational habits, and how their parents’ generation is not adept to processing the amount of information that comes their ways these days. Something about 8-foot tall vikings.

Alison gets confused about merkins, and Vince shares an interaction he had in the elevator.

Alison gets a Life of Pi scenario question The gang discuss Michael Crichton books and their terrible film adaptations. Brendan has a deep thought about Black Knight.
- 01:26:35 – Ben and Bret both saw Judge Dredd, which they both enjoyed, but Bret thinks he could have made a better version. Alison talks about moving back to LA.

RE: best of. Don’t remember which episode or the context, but you played the David Lee Roth isolated vocal track at the same time as another audio clip, and it was some fucking amazing Pink Floyd / Wizard of Oz shit right there.
Also, there’s got to be room for some HOTT GOSS.
Robo, I believe the David Lee Roth played over the Pissed Off Obama Woman clip a few episodes back. And it was glorious.
Yes! That’s the one. Holy shit that was glorious.
Yes to this.
To be fair, Ron and Fez isn’t a shitty morning show. I don’t listen to them, but the few times I did Ron conducted good interviews and came up with quick, sarcastic retorts awesomely. I won’t say anything about Fez ’cause he’ll cry.
It’s a spinoff of Opie & Anthony, isn’t it?
So Armond realized Django Unchained was a joke when Sam Jackson appeared? Not in the very first scene where we see Christoph Waltz’s dentist cart with the utterly ridiculous sproioioing tooth? That wasn’t clue #1?
“Coke Wizard digital short” needs to be on the best of 2013 episode.
(Apparently I am liveblogging this frotcast now.)
Best of: Mexican Predator, Fake Brett, and Brandon as the unstoppable dick sucker Dafoe
Bret’s atheism quote at 42:00 should be in next year’s best of as well.
I concur. I should get an engraved plaque made with that quote on it.
Best of: Mexican predator mexican Bruce willis / butterscotch schnapps that’s all essay
I’ve been in the Blackhorse with like 16 people, it was a rager! Plus one of the bartenders has an awesome rack.
Brendan’s “I don’t really give a sh-t about movies” really should be the tagline for the Frotcast

That one guy that left a message like it was a koi call but a KLINGON!
Still want to hear about Vince and his plantation of slaves
So did you guys ever watch the NFL Bad Lipreading video? THE PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW.
For best of 2013, all of last week’s frotcast is out. That was awful.
I need to know the only problem with lipreading videos.
why didn’t you write “Killer Djoe”?
I came here to say the same thing. This is what we’ve become.
*hangs head in shame*
Buttchugging.
2nd ed.
Hey Vince! I watched Killer Joe last night since nobody else would and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It reminded me of how my Dad used to feed me Chicken Coop back in the day and how the copious amounts of grease would cause acne to breakout around my mouth… except substitute Chicken Coop with weiner and acne with raging herpes.
A few highlights: anything involving Mexican Predator, Butt Chugging (preferably with Brendan’s Southern lawyer), slogan from Frotcast 128 – Bear with us while we have fun, anything with Brendan doing an impression while Bret laughs maniacally in the background and of course Microphone Mike Michaelson.
For the record, having recently turned on Black and Knight while being too high to change it, he gets hit on the back of the head and falls into a moat at the Medieval Times ripoff he worked at, which happened again at the end. This leads to him waking up and wondering if its all a dream, but the black noble lady thing he fell in love with in the past is an EMT in the present or some shit.
