I was flying back from LA last week and moving all weekend, so the Frotcast didn’t get posted in its normal timely fashion, but better late than never, right? This week (last week, whatever) we brought on SF comedian Leslie Small to sit in for the absent Brendan and called up Laremy Legel, recently returned from DC where he sat in on a session of the Supreme Court. We talk The Oscars and all the Seth MacFarlane and The Onion contraversialiciousness, Laremy tells us about the Supreme Court, and I talk about my trip to LA. A good time was had by all. Huge thanks to any and all who came out to see me at the Improv last week. They laughed hard at font humor, so I assume a bunch of you must’ve been in the audience.

Look, we’ve all been there: you’re sitting there watching a mediocre movie, let’s say Spider-Man 3, and on screen, emo Peter Parker is in the midst of shoving Mary Jane down on the floor. The theater is respectfully silent, until a drunk dude in the back says, “Awww, sh*t,” and the entire theater explodes in laughter. Yes, that was something I witnessed, and it was instances such as these, when the audience became the show, that prompted me to ask some of my favorite writers and comedians to share their stories of times when the theater where they were watching a film became far more entertaining than the film itself.

This week’s panel includes some of your old Uproxx pals, as well as Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker from Sh*t My Dad Says/I Suck At Girls/Cougar Town, XOJane Columnist and Twitter’s BoobsRadley Julieanne Smolinski, comedian Jamie Lee, who was just on Conan a few months back, So Close to You author Rachel Carter, and my favorite San Francisco comedians and former Frotcast guests, Alison Stevenson and Leslie Small. Don’t blame any of them for the cutesy chapter headings though, I wrote those. Enjoy!
