Documentarian Lance Oppenheim last hung out with us just a few months ago to talk about Spermworld, his Hulu documentary about unlicensed sperm donors. At the time he teased us with news of his next project, Ren Faire, a documentary series about the eccentric owner of the Texas Renaissance Festival, one of the largest renaissance festivals in the world. Well now that documentary is here. Ren Faire, produced by the Safdie Brothers and Ronald Bronstein (Uncut Gems, Good Time, etc.) follows George Coulam, an eccentric octogenerian ex-Mormon who dresses in a self-designed military-inspired uniform who everyone calls "King George." King George is the capricious ruler of the TRF, who says he wants to retire while his long-suffering employees scramble around trying to please him while plotting against each other and trying to set themselves up to become the heir apparent.
Ren Faire's main characters include Jeff Baldwin, the portly theater kid entertainment director who has recently become general manager, Louie Migliaccio, a steampunk energy drink addict who runs the festival's kettle corn empire (but dreams of more), and Darla Smith, an elephant trainer-turned renaissance faire capitalist. Lance opens up about how he shot Ren Faire, what all the Ren Faire characters are doing now -- big scoop on Jeff Baldwin and the rest of the staff in there -- and how many energy drinks Louie Migliaccio consumes in a day. Oh, and about how King George's sugar daddy dates at the Olive Garden actually went down, and whether George asked them any questions beyond whether their breasts are real.
Ren Faire is a great docuseries and the ultimate show for anyone who wants to know how unhappy rich people actually are.

Hey everyone, here's some bonus slop that Vince and Roundball Rock's Joey Devine did! Vince does this thing about the show Top Chef where he does "power rankings" or something. People love it and now you will too. Also don't worry, there will be a Frotcast this week and WE WILL SOON PICK A SHOW I SWEAR.
DESCRIPTION: For all the Top Chef lovers, Joey Devine from Roundball Rock and I (Vince) decided to do a post-Top Chef recap show. Which chefs do we love? Which do we hate? Whose chances do we like? What changes do we love this season, and which do we not? You know, all that shit. If you watch Top Chef, you'll probably love this. If you don't, well, your mileage may vary. But maybe you get desperate and end up realizing you like it. Maybe you discover feelings that you always had but tried to deny and it'll be a whole sexual awakening kind of a thing. Look I don't know, we were already watching Top Chef so it seemed like an easy lift. Hope you like it.

A recent headline in the trades went 'Richard Dreyfuss Takes Stage At Massachusetts ‘Jaws’ Screening Wearing Dress Before Delivering Rant Described As Transphobic; Venue Apologizes.' That was a banger of a headline, but actual video and audio from the event was pretty spotty . Whenever I see headlines like these, I kind of wonder, "Was it really that bad, or was some humorless person just ignoring context and and inflection to make it sound as provocative as possible?"
Luckily when I tweeted about it, someone immediately piped up "hey, I was at that screening!"
I naturally figured, well, we might as well ask him about it. Our guest is Wes Rosen, who's a cook from Beverly, Massachusetts. He sent me a picture from the evening to prove that he was there, which probably wouldn't pass muster with the FBI, but I have no reason to believe he's bullshitting me (if it turns out I got "took," in The Wire parlance, I'll be the first to issue a correction). Wes says he doesn't listen to the show, but as a guy who makes fun of NPR and attends Jaws screenings he seems very much our demo.
As far as the question, "Was it really that bad, or was some humorless person just ignoring context and and inflection to make it sound as bad as possible," Wes seems to suggest that it was a little bit of both.
Richard Dreyfuss's book that he was promoting, by the way, is called "One Thought Scares Me."
"Our democratic republic is failing, and it shouldn’t be a surprise. We can’t fly a plane without training; we can’t practice medicine without attending medical school. And yet we expect the American people to wield the full power of their citizenship, the product of the most revolutionary governmental thinking in human history, without any education.We no longer teach our children the Bill of Rights or Constitution. We don’t teach the Enlightenment values that underpin them. We don’t teach the critical thinking skills and mental agility necessary for our own sovereignty. We’ve stopped teaching civics, and now we can’t have a civil political discussion. The American experiment may fail if we don’t act.Richard Dreyfuss is a forceful advocate for civic education. His latest work, One Thought Scares Me…, explains how the lack of civics education in American education for the last fifty years has led to the deterioration of all aspects of the lives of us, the people. And it shows us the path to reclaiming our American ideals."It sounds like Dreyfuss hates Trump, but is also maybe anti-#MeToo and confused by "The LGBT" and trans identities in general. Which is to say, probably pretty close to the Frotcast Listener's Parents Demographic. Talk to your confused Boomer parents about the dangers of Shrimp Jesus today.
