Frank & Sense

This is the real punk rock! Jason Consolation and Greg Twomey return to the show to talk about Superman (2025). The boys discuss the cast, rank the Supermen, talk about the state of the DCU vs the state of the MCU, and much much more. Frank shares some negative reviews of the film, and we also discuss some of the real world themes in the movie. Plus, we have an exclusive interview with one of the stars of the film, and we play a game called Krypto or Crypto. It's a god damn Terrific time. LET'S GO DC!

Look! No, not up in the sky. On your podcast player of choice! It's a podcast! Our Superman miniseries starts this week with two Superman Super-fans: Greg Twomey and Jason Consolation. Greg, Jason, and Frank talk all things Supes, including, but not limited to: Favorite Superman power, John Williams, the music, our personal histories with Superman, DC vs Marvel, the Snyderverse, and oh so much more. Ever wondered what the deal is with Superboy? Well then this is the episode for you. Jason also teaches us what it's like to consume a movie via audio description. It's a super fun time talking about a Super guy: Superman! LET'S GO DC!!!

Nicole Vaunt returns to the show to discuss a very naughty and mature book: American Queen by Sierra Simone. It's the first smut book that Frank has ever read, and it's a doozy! It's a book brave enough to ask the question: What if you were in a throuple with the President and the Vice President? And what if the President was daddy? Nicole and Frank discuss the book, as well as romance vs literotica vs smut, the definition of a closed door romance, ideal circumstances to consume smut, and much more. Plus, they play the first round of the new game sweeping the nation (and the galaxy): Smut or Star Wars. Grab your library card and join us for a good time!

Author Ann Fraistat returns to the show! Ann and Frank discuss Ann's first book, What We Harvest. Ann takes us behind the curtain to share the secrets of the book - the unexpected joy of free writing, different types of horror, and how the book evolved over time. We also chat about possession, safety characters, and lies that characters believe about themselves. This episode is a must-listen for Ann fans, and for anyone else! This podcast is dedicated in lovely memory of Irma the bear 🐻

This week, Frank is joined by Nicole Vaunt and Mitch Lerner to discuss the history of the internet. Specifically, we talk about the way things were in our earliest days on the internet, our first memories of it, what it looked like, what it felt like, and the first places we created things online. We talk chat rooms, a/s/l, and oh so much more. Then Frank overcomes immense embarrassment and shares an actual LiveJournal post from his actual LiveJournal. Join for the laughs, stay for the cringe, and look out for more episodes in our look back on the way things were.
