Previously on "Frankly Speaking": We vowed to do more episodes in 2014 and as turns out we didn't follow through.  So welcome back to the world's least necessary podcast.  Recorded live in the "Never Not Funny" studios.  Critics are already calling our return "a total waste of time".  Thanks for listening.  Ramble on ramblers.  @PacoWalsh @MattBelknap @IAmVonStroHeim

Frank is going away for 4 months to film a movie with Sly Stallone in Bulgaria so Pat thought we should have him in before he leaves.  He was late getting there but once he showed up he took very few breaths.  Talk about American pop culture being terrible from movies to music to TV.  Frank grills Matt Belknap about "29th Street" and rails against acting classes.  At one point we just watch a Hulu clip from SNL that Frank saw at Stallone's house.  Sometimes you do you one for the studio so you can do more for yourself. @PacoWalsh @MattBelknap @IAmVonStroheim

Matt Walsh sat in for an hour of utter nonsense.  Talk was about nearly anything from impov to Klout scores to going home to Chicago.  Two phone-ins 1 from Frank Pesce with saige betting advice for the NBA finals and Mike Walsh calling to confrim dinner plans.  Matt talks about Beardown podcast and why I find him intimidating.  This one was lots of fun.  Thanks to Matt for bringing his substantial media influence to the show this week.  Follow him on Twitter and watch "Veep" on HBO.

This week Matt Belknap brought his friend Mike Gonzales in to talk to Frank about some B-movies he'd been in.  Pat starts off the show trying to settle a bet with Frank that Frank claims he didn't lose.  You be the judge.  I basically sat this one out and let the other guys wax sentimental about some movies I'd never heard of let alone seen.  Sometimes you're Dan Harmon and sometimes you're NBC.

Frank wanted wine.  We got him some and he hated it.  We settle in and after some talk about wrinkle free shirts and a girl at a bar Frank wanted to hear "Strangers in the Night" then talk turns to conspiracy theories.  JFK, Moon landing, 9/11, Flight 800 and cow mutilations.  Pat gets his brother Capt. Richard Walsh to phone in and try to reason with Frank about a plane crash and Frank will have none of it.  If you like hearing grown men called idiot or imbecile this episode is for you.  Also if you're one of the 10s of people listening to this, Frank hates you too.  Thanks to Matt Belknap for playing along once again.  We really do find Frank to be a very interesting guy.

A podcast for and about Frank Pesce.  The inspiration behind the hit movie "29th Street".  Patrick Walsh and Alex Concepcion sit down to talk to Frank about his life and his thoughts about movies, music, politics and life in general.  Nothing is off limits and Frank has an opinion on everything.  Frank is a world class raconteur so prepare yourself. In the first episode we start out (with help from engineer Matt Belknap) to get Frank up to speed on what a podcast is and how people find and listen to one.  We talk about how he got his start.  And he lists a bunch of movies that Matt should have seen as a film student.  He hates film school and acting classes.  He hates that Alex lives in Hollywood and that Pat recycles.  That's Pesce in a nutshell.
