Zack Chapaloni takes time out from his busy improv schedule to join us for a robust “yes-and” of Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry’s new madcap shooting spree comedy The Union. That’s not really a joke; in between witty bon mots, Halle Hal and Marky Mark rack up a body count on par with Legionnaire’s Disease. Brendan forgets JK Simmons’ name and decides to refer to him thenceforth as JK Rowling. Matt watched about half the movie and we come to the conclusion that he really didn’t miss that much. This is an AI-ass movie, y’all. We also discuss the baffling end credits sequence and whether or not this is simply the logical result of stan culture vs. “wanting to see a good movie” (spoiler: it is).

Vince wanted to save his takes on ‘Reagan,’ the new biopic about our most AI-ass president, until the rest of us could see it, but he had to take his shirt off and go in anyway. We challenge some fundamental assumptions of the movie such as: since when does he get credit for ending the Cold War, and why should any American particularly give a shit? Plus! A helpful guide to recognizing Gorbachev in the movie if you don’t have a helpful geriatric to loudly whisper THAT’S GORBACHEV in your theater.

If you like what you heard from our esteemed guest, find Zack on his website here. Even if you didn’t you probably should, we are all desperate.

Welcome to this week’s Frotcast, where we decide to re-evaluate the case of Scott Peterson. Not his guilt (he totally did that shit), but his place in the esteemed pantheon of Extremely Dumb Guys. We welcome back Desi and Rachel from Hollywood Crime Scene to discuss not only his dim wits, but also his poor lying skills, off-putting demeanor, and creepy voice. Form an orderly queue, ladies! We mostly discuss the Netflix doc, but also touch on the Peacock and Hulu series as well, if you’d like to waste several more hours of your life learning about this weirdo. 

You’ll be devastated to learn that Matt got a new car, which may well end our multi-episode saga of vehicular assault on Matt’s life. Perhaps an enterprising listener can sabotage his car in order to give us more precious #content. He also describes his own Hollywood Crime Scene involving sexual assault of a Big Mouth Billy Bass. We’d love to see that story get the Scott Pelley treatment. Other topics include large adult Chicagoans, which Gallagher brother goes down on his right fit bird, and Deep Dish Diarrhea.

“What is a Shrek Slurpee?” -Alice Fraser

We found the only person in the world impervious to the Stringer Bell charm. Writer, comedian, host of Tea with Alice and The Gargle podcast, beams in all the way from London to talk to Matt & Vince about season three episode seven of The Wire, “Back Burners.”

Right off the bat, Alice reveals that she listened to Pod Yourself A Gun and the Jack Reacher novels while breastfeeding because they are both just engaging enough to distract, but not too stimulating to put down when the baby is full. Finally someone recognizes that this is the Jack Reacher of podcasts. This pod is 6’6,” jacked as hell, and idolized by guys with punisher stickers on their Dodge Chargers.

Here's a clip of our latest episode of the Frotcast. You can listen to the whole episode on Patreon.

This week Matt and Vince welcome master documentarians Billy Corben and Alfred Spellman from Rakontur Productions to the Frot to discuss the latest in Florida F*ckery. Billy and Alfred have become the documentarians laureate of South Florida with their films 537 Votes, Screwball, Dawg Fight, Cocaine Cowboys, The U, and God Forbid (et. al). These days, they're working on From Russia With Lev, a feature doc about shady Trump/Giuliani associate turned turncoat Lev Parnas, and A Sunny Place for Shady People, a series of mini documentaries with Dan Le Batard that will look at scandals around the Miami area. More importantly, they're great talkers, so we pick their brains about Florida scandals, the documentary-industrial complex, and something that in four previous interviews I've always forgotten to ask Billy about, his past as a child actor. 

Plus, Vince and Matt discuss The Curious Case Of Natalia Grace, the most messed up, infuriating docuseries ever made.

“Eggy Mule, Peacock, Shorty Boy? All unavailable for muscle work right now. -Will Menaker

The price of the steel is up, but Matt & Vince have writer, and host of Chapo Traphouse and The Movie Mindset podcasts, Will Menaker on the pod to break down season three episode six of The Wire, “Homecoming.”

Cutty’s brief but memorable return to the game ends with surprisingly little conflict, and the boys agree it’s touching to see the boys in the heroin-selling crew dissolve their business relationship amicably. Even dudes hardened by the game of selling rock can still rock. What the potential candidates to replace Cutty’s muscle lack in availability, they make up for in fun names, leading to Vince learning us all about the origin of Eggy Mule, nephew of Baltimore’s first woman arabber. As racist as the term sounds, it’s just a type of street vendor. We think. Don’t look too deep into it. 

Will also reminds us that 44th president of the United States Barak Hussein Obama was on record as saying that Entourage was one of his favorite shows of all time. Barack OH YEAH-AHHHHH!

“Not a lot of money in birds.” -Caleb aka Bird Respecter

Hamsterdam is open for business and Matt & Vince invited podcaster and Bird Respecter Caleb from the Western Kabuki Podcast to discuss The Wire season three episode five, “Homecoming.”

The titular homecoming is Avon’s. He’s back and so freakin’ horny. Almost as horny as Jimmy is for Stringer Bell, but being horny for Stringer is a major theme on both the show and the pod so who can blame him?

During the pod we also learned that the actor who plays officer Colicchio (he’s the one with the white supremacist haircut and the cop face) is a Vassar educated Marine. Some guys really do contain multitudes, but rarely the guys you expect.
