Writing the Gen Y Mid-Life Crisis Road Trip Novel
This week on a very special interview cross-posted from the Frotcast, author Adam Wilson drops by the Frotquarters to discuss his new novel, Fail Sons (out this week, from Penguin Random House). Sorry, Chet Hanks, it’s actually a road trip novel about two estranged Jewish brothers on a road trip...

'The Smashing Machine' (2002) Retrospective, with John Hyams
Before it was a presumed Oscar contender starring Dwayne The Rock Johnson, The Smashing Machine was a documentary about MMA pioneer Mark Kerr, directed by John Hyams. Arguably one of the most influential documentaries of the 21st century, I was so obsessed with it that the first time I tracked…

Smearing Pedro: Kat Tenbarge on the Pedro Pascal Smear Campaign
(This is a crosspost from the Frotcast, since it seems relevant to both interest groups) Did you know Pedro Pascal gropes women to deal with his anxiety? If you were online at all in the past week or two, you might have noticed this narrative going around, or people making memes about it, or...

A Brief Chat with This Season's Top Chef Finalists
This past week I was offered the opportunity to speak with this season’s Top Chef finalists — Bailey Sullivan, Shuai Wang, and Tristen Epps. This being The #Content Report, I’m always loathe to turn down an opportunity for #content, so I said yes. I don’t generally love interviewing more than one...

'Top Chef' Judge and Canadian Ambassador to Top Chef Gail Simmons

Top Chef Frotcast Post-Show Season 1: Episode 10, The Reunion
Little did Joey and I know when we planned to record an episode about Top Chef season 1 episode 10 that it was a reunion episode! That’s right, apparently they used to do the cast reunion episode before the finale. And the contestants on that reunion episode used be super drunk. Like slurring…

Top Chef Frotcast Post-Show S1E7, RESTAURANT WARS, with Anna Hossnieh
This week we’re going all the way back to April 19th, 2006 to recap Top Chef’s very first Restaurant War.

Top Chef Frotcast Post-Show, S1E3: 'Nasty Delights'
Joey and I are back talking about season 1 of Top Chef. This week we're talking about season one, episode 3 (103), "Nasty Delights," which really is a fantastic Top Chef episode and quite possibly a big reason we still have this show 21 seasons later. Stephen Asprinio deserves his place in the…

Interview: Top Chef Season 21 Competitor Rasika Venkatesa
At the risk of overposting, here’s an audio interview with Rasika from Top Chef. With all due respect to Danny and Dan, I felt like this season of Top Chef was a little anti-climactic, and arguably slightly lower in general entertainment value than previous seasons, especially the most recent…
