Right? So ridiculous

Wow, now trying to attack me in that way because I destroyed you...that totally doesn't PROVE you are objectively wrong...and why should I prove it to you, given that if you ever had either of those things, it would have to be something as pathetically hypocritical, retarded, and even subhuman as you are...I could say I'll give you a thousand dollars to prove otherwise, but you don't deserve that money, let alone a place on this planet...the fact that I even wrote all that out when you even more so demonstrated your retardation and inability to admit so with that question means I'm being generous...you truly are the bottom of the barrel of humanity...ha, because I insult a thing like you to death, I've never had a friend or girlfriend...nice one 😂😂😂😂😂😂...literally, how subhuman and retarded are you trying to prove yourself to be...why are you trying to demonstrate your deficiency more and more with every comment??? Oh right, because you are so deficient, you actually think you have something to say when you are not even basically functioning, and think you can insult me...Jesus Christ, it never stops with things like you on the internet...this is exactly the kinda shit that Bret bashes , just not hard enough...AND YOU ARE ON HIS PODCAST seriously, there is a certain chair with a certain electric shock...sit in one and maybe humanity will have some hope for the future...Adolf is justified now, thanks to your existence...that's just science

I’ll give you 100 dollars if you can prove you had a girlfriend… or even a friend… in your life.
Brian Borough
Loves any and all CONTENT that is shoved down his throat, is Anti-Trump and an Eagles Hater….how original!!!
Brian Borough
I love how he makes it a point to inhale deeply after ending every statement. Not annoying at all!
M. Nero Nava
A bunch, yeah. But he’s from that era for sure. Heat & Sunlight is his big one
J Hay
You still have the runs??
J Hay
Didn’t he make some features on videotape? I saw at least 1.
J Hay
I don’t recall those titles at all. Maybe I’m not the only one.

So many movie experiences for me. “The Exorcist”,’ which I first saw in the same cinema which Bret mentioned (The National, in Westwood), with several school friends. There was a L-O-N-G line that took hours to get through. Great movie, nonetheless. I also saw a sneak preview of “Halloween” (in Long Beach, where I lived); I’m still not a fan of that one. Kinda dull, with some dumb characters. I prefer “Halloween 3”. I also saw “Star Wars” at the Chinese Theater. I also liked “All of Us Strangers” and “Strange Darling”. Waiting for the blended sequel: “All of Us Strange Darlings” :) “Challengers” and “Love Lies Bleeding” were also very good.
Neil G.
Yes, and your retarded pseudo-insightful comment is exactly what I expected..."yeah, I'll sit down with people I disagree with, chill the fuck out bruh" is what you write when you praise someone so obviously retarded, both politically and artistically, like Josh Olson...that is the objective point I was making; his whole "movie podcast" is a bastion of anti-intellectual idiocy that is, by the way, very woke-tarded...something that Bret despises, but doesn't realize in certain people...you, on the other hand, are trying to lecture me about my "wackiness" and trying to condescend to me, which is something that someone like you would do because you are so deficient, you think you can, on top of not knowing anything..."you're so wacky, your entertaining"...you are so desperate to try and sound like you know anything and you are above me...write out another long, bullshit, pseudo-insightful lecture...it's a miracle you can write at all 😂😂😂 "They usually talk about movies and art"...JOSH OLSON KNOWS VERY LITTLE ABOUT ANY OF THAT STUFF...THE FACT THAT YOU DON'T SEE IT 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Alexander Quattlander
Cmon this guy likes everything. He cried at end of Megalopolis. Sorry dude I love Coppola too but get real. "I watch Charley Verrick every year." Great movie but stop crying. And The Omen is "Exorcist light." Gimme a break. Cry me a river.
M. Nero Nava
What are you talking about, man? I’m a “fan”? “you are not cause you don’t…” I usually block all the looneys in BEE’s comments, but you’re so wacky, you’re almost entertaining. He was a good guest, they talked about movies and art, that’s usually what this beloved podcast is about. I’ve listened to every episode since the beginning. The only ones I’ve ever skipped were when it got overtly political, but for the most part I’ll enjoy talks with folks I disagree with, because the show is that good. So, take a breath, slow down, and chill the fuck out
Phoenix
I picture this guy with a beard.
Neil G.
yes, I actually have this thing called basic logic...you are not cause you don't, and that's why you're a Josh Olson fan-tard...off this planet is where you and him should go, and anything that even mildly supports him
Paul Richardson
Agreed.
M. Nero Nava
Are you ok?
Neil G.
YOU'D BETTER BE SARCASTIC 😂😂😂
Neil G.
no need for that you just make yourself look more retarded than you already are by trying to mock me...you mock humanity by being a Josh Olson fan
Neil G.
wow, did I hurt your retarded feelings so much cause I very simply/accurately described how your retarded podcast idol is such a retard??? awwwwww, now you're actually trying to make fun o' me cause you're so retarded, you think you can when you like Josh Olson??? 😂😂😂 Notice how practically everyone here despises him 😂😂😂 "WOW, THIS GUY THINKS HE'S MORE INSIGHTFUL THAN JOSH FUCKING OLSON" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 And that BB question was from a long time ago...what, are you so desperate to try to get me (which you cannot scientifically do) that you stalk me??? Is this what all the Josh Olson fan-tards are like 😂😂😂😂😂
T Frick
The Apprentice is the most underrated movie of the year, it's fantastic
Johnny Blade
Bret sure SOUNDS like he watches everything with his arms folded.
Dave Mason
Bret should get Christian Bale on.
Terrible Records
I’d like to read this young trump script, please
Keith campbell
Nobody seems to like this guest but I want to go rent the Korean whorehouse snake killer movie now
Dan Palmer
I wonder if Bret still has his ‘Three Women’ action figures?
Rory Kiberd
Most enjoyable conversation in a long time. Loved it.
Stephen
STILL IN A PANDEMIC UGHH
Seneca Garcia
This guy. Josh Olson. Digital podcast gold. This season is soooo good
Big E
Emote much?
Paul Richardson
Agreed. I think it may also be Coppola’s.
Iain
Rumble Fish is one of my favourites.
Joseph Murphy
Megalopolis fucking sucked man sorry. It was laughably shitty. I love a History of Violence but this guy is a fucking clown.
Harold B
I can’t believe I walked out of a Coppola movie but megalopolis was that bad
James Bandy
Bret should consider bringing Joe Bob Briggs on the podcast. It would make for a fun discussion of schlock horror and exploitation films in my opinion.
Claude Henry Smoot
I had Seth Rogen too but dressed like Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting.
R. M.
Same, and I think most wont.
R. M.
I think TETRO is underrated.
Ski Milius
Great TV from 2013 I never hear anyone mention: all seasons of Banshee, Rectify.
clay
Rawr
Paul Richardson
I know Bret isn’t a fan but One From the Heart has become one of my favourite Coppola films, much to my surprise.
Richard Raymond
I made the effort to see Wolfs in the theater like a goddamn adult and had a wonderful time.
Andrew Lapointe
I often wonder what, if any, are the recent movies that will be considered classics 50 years from now.
Max
If Bret ever finished watching Breaking Bad––gripping stuff.
M. Nero Nava
How do I get in on these movie nights? That sounds fun. Ha I worked for a director named Rob Nilsson, he use to have movie night. Often we’d watch super subversive, barely enjoyable and transgressive films… somehow it was always fun.
M. Nero Nava
What was your question?
David Willis
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
richard owain roberts
am going to listen on my run. will say more later, after my run.
Patrick
I wish there were more cool movies to take my 11 year old daughter to nowadays because I would love for her to have memories of “movies my dad took me to” like I do. (Tho, I think he mostly just got us into and dropped me and my friends off at rated R movies then left to go drinking and meet women at the mall bar for a few hours). Also, love a Philly boy guest on here. Great ep! 🦅
ck kane
I pictured this guy as Seth Rogan dressed up as a mall Santa, inexplicably
Neil G.
wow, instead of answering my platinum question, you have this retard that calls himself a film fan (let alone a functioning person) on the air...nice goin' Bret 😂😂😂
John Q. Thompson
We're back to referring to Andrew Scott as "Andrew Stone" haha, come on Bret! By the way, "Ripley" is probably gonna end up being my favorite show of 2024. The latest season of "Fargo" was great as well and with so much shit being released now it's easy to forget that even happened. I'd love to see "Sugar" on Apple ("Killers of the Flower Moon" and "Napoleon" too), but I don't feel good about subscribing and supporting them because they don't support physical media. Gotta take a stand somewhere when it comes to supporting film and physical media. Atleast Netflix occasionally licenses their titles to Criterion for home video releases.
