Frotcast 247: ‘Star Wars’ Trailer Reactions And Competitive Nostalgia

Listen on the player above, or download as an mp3 here (right click, save as).

After losing a week to technical difficulties, the Frotcast is back! This week, we’re discussing the release of the Star Wars trailer (yes, we meant to do this last week) and the people competing to see who can be the most nostalgic about it (like, did Gareth Edwards really cry when he saw Han Solo? Dude, you cried about a commercial?). The big question is, what’s the line between acceptable, earnest fandom for something that meant a lot to you, and cheering while a corporation sells you your childhood? We try to answer that, talk about “thug” as we solve race relations in Baltimore (important work), listen to some of Joe Sinclitico’s stand-up comedy about koala hunting, and try to figure out if Matt Lieb actually likes us. As for the listener who asked if the Frotcast was dying, no, it is not, we just had some troubles upgrading our recording set up. We’ve come a long way, from shouting into a single mic to multi-track recording. Not successfully, mind you, but it’s been a journey.
