BEE & QT are my GOATs. I am going to watch Roadhouse and Slithis tonight.

God DAMN Quentin T is insufferable

The NEXUS!

Adam Lehrer

Thank god for Bret calling out how terrible joker 2 is. Tarantino’s reasoning is contrarian idiocy. The idea that Blowing a bunch of money on a piece of shit is complete gen x 90s ass punk brain. Fuck that shit. You made a good first film, and then you made a horrendous sequel that for me squandered any good will I felt towards Todd or Joaquin

Harry G

Toss Paul shrader or David lynch in here and we have a perfect table

Harry G

Gotta love Roger.

Florence

I think about that Fiona Apple quote all the time which is why I'd want to be in the room w them lol

J Hay

Co-writer, and not a producer.

James Beatty

“One of the boys” said like William Burroughs on Dead City Radio.

Collin Myers

same i would get lit up and try to go deep with them on why i think kubrick sucks and is overrated

David Willis

QT: “Madame Trudeau’s”. Is that like a woke Canadian version of Madame Tussaud’s? But in Tel Aviv?

James Beatty

Not gonna lie — The Melvin Belli allusion made me feel like one of the boys.

R. M.

I disagree. I would just hit the blunt and listen to Q.T. go off on a tangent and strap in for the ride.

Thomas Edwards

Aww Roger seems such a genuine warm guy. What a lovely ending.

Nick Not Nolte

fun little interview… but nightmare blunt rotation for sure 😂

Iain

Could listen to these guys all day.

Liska

Another great podcast…and so great to hear how all of these artists work bounces off each other and creates new work and ideas, friendships…truly special.

Poetical Gore

don't forget the gay for pay one....

Damion Matthews

Wait, QT never saw The Outside Man!? That’s wild. It’s fantastic!

David Willis

An Academy Award winning screenwriter and he directed The Rules of Attraction by B…

Sértő-Radics Sarolta

This episode that the most heartwarming ending. Very uplifting and a lovely throuple indeed.

Ryan Dacko

Happy(late) Birthday, Fredrik. And now Happy Halloween!

Dan Smith

Loved Roger's take. It's so fun listening to them outside the context of thier own podcast. Would loved to have seen the look on Brett's face during the " im just saying... " "I know I hear you" back and forth. Great show. More please. Anyone doesn't know Roger btw? Killing Zoe. Check it out

Fredrik Fahlman

Thanks!🙏

Dan Palmer

Happy Birthday! 🎂

Mister Farkel

So I’m going to pay money to hear Roger Avery’s untalented nepo baby theories on film ?

R. M.

I love KILLING ZOE. Picked it up on DVD back when it first came out. I need to pick up LUCKY DAY on Blu ray.

N.M. Janice.

Director of Killing Zoe, Rules of Attraction and Lucky Day.

R. M.

He wrote and produced PULP FICTION.

Andrew Harty

Roger is annoying and over thinking this. Also who is he?

Alek Krichilsky

Same

Bryan

Bret is correct that THE OUTSIDE MAN is a great one. I have an original copy of the poster hanging over my desk!

N.M. Janice.

Of course it is.

N.M. Janice.

Thought it was terrible.

PETER GREER

Loved this….👍🏻👏🏻

Podcat

In original recipe ROAD HOUSE, Dalton’s signature move is the throat-tearing-out, not the heart-tearing-out. That’s Temple of Doom you’re thinking of, maybe?

The Lake Show

Does all this praise for Joker 2 mean Quentin’s play is going to be a faggy musical?

Constantine

It’s not a top 5. It’s just not. I liked parts of it but it’s a flawed film. Lacks execution. It could’ve been great but it’s not. Most likely bc of budgetary constraints

Richard Raymond

I liked the first one well enough. But I found Joker 2 far more creatively interesting and ballsy.

Richard Raymond

As someone who watched Personal Best for the first time within the last three years, it rocks. Also Bret is out to lunch on Civil War. It's a top 5 of the year

Normaling

I hope that happens 😂

Harold B

I walked out with the same interpretation as QT but I wrestle with the question of whether it’s ok to fuck with an audience that paid to see your movie.

Twan Van Geel

Beware: QT will turn this into a scene one day 😬

Harold B

Did you like 1?

Harold B

You are remarkably consistent

richard owain roberts

am going to listen on my run. will say more later, after my run.

Richard Raymond

Glad to hear Joker 2 get the praise it deserves. I felt exactly the same. It's one of the best movies of the year

Normaling

Kernel by kernel….never again

Nick @

Bret liked that throuple comment a little too much

souleraser

yeah Joker: La Cage aux Folles is like The Loved One in being really boring

Fredrik Fahlman

Thanks!🙏

Poetical Gore

QT is the director of my generation...but he likes a lot of terrible movies.

Trevor Tillman

These two consecutive episodes might just be the best in the podcast’s history.

Allan Sherwood

Like Bret, I’ve almost stopped going to a theater. Like Quentin, I saw Joker 2 all alone in a giant IMAX theater. Three times! It was better and better each time. Will catch it one more time while it’s still on the big screen. Hard to imagine that there will be a better movie this year.

Allan Sherwood

Have a great b-day!🥳🍾

Conor C

Quentin's Joker 2 take might be his hottest take ever. Saying Joaquin Phoenix's performance might be one of the best he's ever seen in a movie is absolutely wild. I feel like I saw a completely different movie than he did.
