Last week’s Frotcast was our most downloaded, probably due in no small part to the inclusion of clips from the Quentin Tarantino Roast.  So this week I included a couple more (of the funny ones, I left out the people who bombed). The whole crew is back again — me the clown-haired lesbian, Brendan the giant, Ben the ear rapist, and the Dark Lord, Bret.

• Whitney Cummings at the Tarantino Roast: “Rob Schneider is such a sh*tty actor that if there was a movie about the life of Rob Schneider, the actor they hired to play him would be Rob Schneider.” (Beginning – 5:30).
• The New and Improved Armond White Game. This time I brought on Laremy from Film.com, Robopanda from GammaSquad, and WarmingGlow‘s Matt Ufford in the hopes of making this game even more of a clusterf*ck. Success!  (5:30 – 25:30)
• Talking Black Swan. LESBIANS. (25:30 – 41:00)
• An appearance by Armond White Hammond. (41:00)
• Sarah Silverman at the Tarantino Roast:Favorite lines: “Whitney Cummings  is only four letters and three shots away from being ‘Whiney Cum Mime,” “I brought Brett Ratner some Keopectate so he can stop sh*tting out Rush Hour movies.” (1:10:00)

THIS WEEK ON THE FROTCAST: I debut a few clips from the Quentin Tarantino roast, we talk about going to Weezer’s “Memories” tour concert (Pinkerton edition), discuss the intense Afghanistan war doc Restrepo (definitely check that out), and bring on our friend Lindy West to play the brand new Armond White game, as an homage to our favorite thesaurificent contrarian cantankerating film critic.  As an extra treat, I’m including a clip of Eli Roth at the Tarantino Roast.  Even with all the comedians there, I thought he was the funniest.

• Jeff Ross at 8:00 – 12:00
• Sarah Silverman destroys Jerry Lewis 16:25 – 18:00
• Weezer Concert, Brendan’s theory of how concept albums are like drunk uncles: 22:00 – 30:00

Take This Waltz is an upcoming “dramedy” *flips scarf, blows on chai latte* starring Michelle Williams as a girl torn between two lovers. Her husband is played by Seth Rogen and her mystery lover is played by… someone else. I haven’t heard of any of the other people in the cast, so I’m assuming it’s going to be a lovefest of mopey indie songs and indignant silent farts. But it’s directed by the incredibly cute-even-though-she’s-a-hipster Sarah Polley, so I’m willing to suck down a few Conor Oberst songs to give it the benefit of the doubt.

Oh, and did I mention that Sarah Silverman is in it? My bad, yeah she’s playing Williams’s sister-in-law or something like that and they probably talk about boys and love and I’m guessing periods and Yorkshire terriers and other girl stuff, and at some point Silverman is going to take off all of her clothes and do a scene with full-frontal nudity. So you know, there’s that whole part to look forward to.

Let’s hope they budgeted for laser hair removal, Moviefone:

(When the lights go down in the city… Robocop goes to work.)

In a recent interview, Sarah Silverman shared a story about Journey lead singer Steve Perry, and let’s just say it has a lot in common with that story about what Oliver Stone supposedly said about Scarface.  Basically, if you’ve ever sung “Don’t Stop Believin’” at karaoke, you are a virulent, hate-filled racist.

In an interview with Playboy set to hit newsstands tomorrow, comedian Sarah Silverman responds to questions about her provocative brand of humor by telling a story about how “the onetime lead singer of a very popular band from the 1980s” came up to her after a show and said, “You’re my favorite comedian. You have the best n*gger jokes.” Silverman didn’t outright name Journey’s Steve Perry, but she added, “I’ll just say this: After that, I stopped believin’.”

Meanwhile, in an interview with Rolling Stone, Perry predictably denied Silverman’s version of the story.

“I walked up to her after the show and I said, ‘I can’t believe that somehow you seem to be getting away with all these slurs and the n-word, I just can’t believe how you’re doing this,’ and I looked at my friend and I said, ‘I can’t believe how she’s getting away with this,’ and she looked at me and kind of smiled. It wasn’t like I was condemning her or condoning her, it was just that I can’t believe how somehow creatively she was making everybody in that club of all colors and all ethnic backgrounds laugh. That’s what it was.” [Rolling Stone]

Perry later added, “My friend was black, did I mention that?  Seriously, a close, personal friend. We’re like brothers. Wait, no, that’s not what I meant to say…”

Anyway, I’m sure this post will garner plenty of “Sarah Silverman sucks” comments.  Which I don’t really get.  I can understand not being familiar with her stand up, and her show is an acquired taste, but have you not seen Jesus is Magic?  I dunno, anyone who sings a song with the line “You can’t put your arms around a dirty gangbang cum shot,” is okay in my book.  I guess I’m old fashioned like that.

Sorry about that headline, Peter Dinklage, I just thought it sounded more lurid to refer to you simply as “dwarf.” Though I realize it’s a little unfair.  I guess it could’ve just as easily been  “Steve Buscemi, Peter Dinklage, & a Jew.” By the way, is Peter Dinklage the only dwarf in Hollywood? And does “Peter Dinklage” sound like a euphemism for erectile dysfunction to anyone else?  And what’s the deal with airline food? Anyway.

This is the trailer for wacky-lookin’ road comedy St. John of Las Vegas.  Steve Buscemi stars as a guy trying to kick his gambling addiction and go straight.  Peter Dinklage plays his new boss at the insurance company who sends him back to Vegas with his head claims investigator, Romany Malco, but not before he gets involved with his eccentric co-worker, Sarah Silverman.   Later he goes on to encounter Emmanuelle Chiriqui, who played E’s girlfriend on Entourage, which is totally plausible, and Danny Trejo, who’s all like, “Mira, putos, I am a beeg Mexican.”  Danny Trejo is always saying that.  If Danny Trejo and Michelle Rodriguez made a baby, it would be so hardcore and Latin that it would jump out of the womb in a ski mask and challenge you to a knife fight.
