PETER GREER

Very good insightful episode.

Alexander Quattlander

This guy was good.

Matt

Great ep and really interesting guest, his thoughts on storytelling especially, and his downfall story would be unbelievable if it wasn’t so believable. I’m reminded of Milan Kundera’s 1967 novel The Joke, about a Czech student whose life is derailed after he makes a joke about the communist party to his girlfriend.

Stuart Chivers

Or he mistakenly believes that posting the same thing week after week is somehow amusing?

Happyhead

This guy is totally loveable. Bumbling and bewildered and smart. Sorry to hear he was taken down by the daughter of my favorite writer. Phillip K. himself would not approve.

Stevan Popovic

Smart chap. Off to find his substack.

Kelly Morris

I agree. It's bad. Badly written. Terrible dialogue. And poorly researched in terms of the setting.

Virgin Marie

Since 2013 on BEE podcast 'victimisation' has been a thing... In 2024 on BEE we've had already 3 'victims' in a row... Please get your 'ideology' together...

Iain

To each their own, but I thought it was terrible, especially compared to previous seasons. I mean, why bother even calling Night Country True Detective without Nic Pizzolato writing it? Talk about lowering the bar.

Patrick

I really liked the first episode. 🤷‍♀️

Duke

Priceless

Riley

It’s a lovely feeling to share the appreciation for Hotel California by The Eagles — as I always do with Bret — but to be able to listen in, and eagerly agree with the conversation as it drifts on… that is the beauty of this beloved podcast. Thank you you both, for such an elegant, and seemingly natural, conversation! 🙏

Iain

Has anyone seen the train wreck that is True Detective ‘Night Country’? Talk about middle of the road, bland television. Ugh.

Dave

Great episode (last week and this week). Love it when Roy was a little bit down on Ayn Rand and then quickly had a more positive take when Bret recommended a few of her works (no, I myself have never read Rand; I must confess that the physical girth of her books have made me hesitant to read). Roy is also one of the first guests to go toe-to-toe with Bret on movie grosses. All in all, a very enjoyable couple of episodes. Adam - Is David Mamet a candidate for an upcoming guest appearance? I loved his recent “Oink Oink”.

N.M. Janice.

Indeed

Jonathan Davis

Let’s see Richard’s browser history.

Ben

Not me. I think this guy suffers from short term amnesia.

BrienPiechos

Mentioning the Sopranos and Transparent in the same breath was comedic gold.

Justin

Strange world we’re living in.

Ned Isakoff

Richard Brody, the second string critic of the New Yorker, once tweeted that sex/nudity in movies in unnecessary. It’s only there to create titillation - as if that’s a bad thing

Harold B

I’ve always been curious what Bret thought about fountainhead glad he can also see the genius of that book from a literary standpoint outside of its weird philosophy

John Q. Thompson

Always love seeing this comment on every episode. Not sure if I've ever seen your follow up comments, but who cares. This comment has become a staple of the show for me.
