Bo Derek acted the pants off that whale.

Benjamin Wayne

I dig this cat's commitment to physical media.

Virginia Gonzales

These young men in film seem blasé. Where’s the passion?

Steven Hamilton

The young directors have nothing to say to me?

RJ

You can get most of them on import blu rays but ya need the multi region playa.

Ryan Mcnabb

I absolutely hated The Outwaters. Total wasted effort. Maybe everyone had fun and learned something, like a field trip.

Ashley

Me? Run? 🤔

Billy Schafer

I have a special place in my heart for Wolfen. It was overshadowed by The Howling and An American Werewolf in London which both came out the same year. Wolfen's environmental message gets a little preachy, but overall it's a creepy and atmospheric movie. Very gory, too! It also shows a NYC that doesn't exist anymore. The burned out tenements in the South Bronx were the perfect eerie setting for an urban horror film.

Alexander Quattlander

He has like over 50 movies and a lot aren't even on blu ray or are expensive out of print. I have maybe just under 20 and a lot on dvd. Wish they did a better job of releasing those but like Woody says in his book once he finishes with a movie he's done with it and on to the next.

Erick

Was very ok.

RJ

I do tho. Although they’re mostly blu rays now.

Paul Richardson

I own every Woody Allen film on Blu-ray - except for the handful that aren’t available in that format, which I own on DVD.

Alexander Quattlander

No one owns every single Woody Allen movie on dvd. Calling him out on that one. And Midsommar was just a bad rip off of Wicker Man. But I enjoyed the second half film talk more than first half.

Brettt I love when you talk Vanderpump !! Go on Sexy Unique Podcast and go deep on why you think Katie Maloney has a problem!!

Happyhead

That makes one of us

Graig Gilkeson

Nice interview. Kid’s got good taste. I didn’t love THE OUTWATERS, but I’m interested in whatever he does next.

J Hay

It’s good, except for the lighting. Too flat and bright for the interior scenes. (I’m referring to the original movie)

M. Nero Nava

Think about it on your run

M. Nero Nava

I found this ep super interesting. Maybe because I’ve been working on micro budget movies for the past 15 years, or maybe because I love when BEE talks creative processes, film, and film production with filmmakers. It feels like BEE in his purist state. Also, when BEE is attracted to an actor or recalls a moment of titillation—he lowers his voice and slow his speech pattern. It cracks me up.

Lionel

Sold !

Paul Richardson

It’s true, Wolfen is great up until the ending. Also glad to see some love for Another Woman, Woody Allen’s most underrated film IMO.

Paul Richardson

I would say so.

Nick B

Thought this was a great! Added The Outwaters to the watch list. Can’t wait.

Todd is so much cooler than Bret though. Get Todd out of the mental hospital, kick Bret off this shit podcast, and let Todd take over. P.S. Bret is pretending to like The Outwaters.

David Willis

I really enjoyed this but I’m a movie brat. While I didn’t enjoy The Outwaters on the first viewing I think the mistake I made was that I watched it on my laptop. I will be rewatching on my TV as it’s currently on Tubi. I don’t really get the hatred this dude is getting because he speaks in a monotone, flat way. He’s a filmmaker not a fucking podcaster. We need to adjust our expectations. Anyone who goes on a podcast and praises Jaws 2 is worth listening to. I don’t really know what people expect from Bret anymore but to maintain a podcast and keep it to this level is very difficult. Also… fuck everyone in this chat who suggested Bret is pretending to like The Outwaters. You’re not genuine supporters and you can get fucked. You know where the door is.

Billy Schafer

I remember The Wiz fondly (Nobody Beats the Wiz!). Electronics, music, movies. I don't think their stores branched out beyond the Northeast. Very big in the Tri-state area. It was referenced prominently in a Seinfeld episode. I'm pretty sure Tower came to New York before the '90s though. There was a Tower on Central Avenue in Yonkers, NY, near where I grew up. Movies downstairs, music upstairs. Pearl Jam signed autographs there in 1991; video exists on YouTube. I'm certain it was there at least since the '80s, but maybe I'm wrong and only remember it that way. Tower Yonkers closed in '03. It's a Toyota dealership now.😒

hollywoodending

Love everything Woody Allen! Inspiring episode! Haters should be taking notes!

Knokkel knokkel

Bret is great! Sometimes the guest is not! 🤷‍♂️

Knokkel knokkel

It’s shit, it’s pure garbage! It’s terrible. I love Bret but fell a bit sad for him praising this drivel! Jesus. 1/10 sorry!

Knokkel knokkel

It’s good , watching it now!

Jack

I hope BEE gives us a review of Love Lies Bleeding. Best new movie I’ve seen since 2019

Nikki Ferrari

Personally, Bret’s been letting us know for weeks now that Todd is going to be locked up for many many years and I’m super excited to hear Bret get his flirt on

Nikki Ferrari

😆 why do you think most of his fans are on the spectrum?

PETER GREER

Great episode…thank you …

N.M. Janice.

I liked The Outwaters slightly more than Skinamarink. I found the latter interminable. I liked the aesthetic idea of the film, but the filmmaker completely failed to pull it off. Felt like a 100 minute amateur YouTube video. I like art films and slow cinema, but static shots of walls and hallways just don’t do it for me.

Lionel

Is Candyman worth a re watch ? I can’t remember much from it ….

N.M. Janice.

I love Interiors too. Interview got better as it went on.

N.M. Janice.

The Good the Bad and the Ugly!

Seems like a very interesting young man. He appears to have unequivocally decided what he’s going to do, gone about achieving it and intends to keep doing it by whatever means, even if that means working in a restaurant (which actually sounds like a good laugh). Fair play to him. X

Steven Kain

If the podcast was free I would argue we as fans should be cool and pretend like we liked the movie too but it's not free and likely most of his fans are on the spectrum. That being said, as a straight male I will never in a million years get to lighly tease a girl over liking Jaws 2 and for that the podcast episode was worth it

R. M.

Ha! Same. I don’t buy it either!

maddie

LOL totally. This was weird

Happyhead

Bret is really in IRS mode for this one. "What was the exact income level of your parents? How did you afford to go to school in NYC and how much were your loan payments and what is the interest? What was your exact salary at Greenpeace and how did you afford to live in Los Angeles while working there?"

Happyhead

Please go all the way, Ashley

Ashley

I only made it 25 minutes in…is it worth going all the way?

Denisovich

He's chill. He speaks French. He makes movies. He's got a ton of cool obscure movie knowledge. I'd rather that than someone who's more animated but vapid. Also, anyone who lists Interiors as their favourite Allen movie is good in my book.

Steven Kain

I've listened to this podcast long enough where I don't believe BEE actually liked Outerwater. I think he had the director on his podcast because they hooked up or he wants to hook up with him. I was still dumb enough to watch the movie. The Jaws 2 conversation shoulda gave it away

Dan Palmer

This sounded like BEE interviewing for a P.A.

Brian Kenna

Where Eagles Dare, yes! The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, yes!

David Hardin

Art is theft

Jon A.

Am I crazy or was there something salty under the surface with this guy? Or maybe it was flirty. 😂

richard owain roberts

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

N.M. Janice.

Don’t weasel in on his bit.

David Hardin

Rich and I are going for a run . Will say more later

Jonathan Anoj

Gotta say The Outwaters is in a list of the top 10 worst movies I’ve ever seen. Easily worst of this decade

Oleg

dude sounds like he doesn’t want to be there at all.

Keith campbell

Has Xavier Dolan been on the podcast ? If not, why not ?

Ashley

Every single Jaws movie is amazing 🏊‍♂️🦈🛥️🩸

Thomas Edwards

The Good The Bad and The Ugly is wonderful. '...Idiots. It's for you.'

Patrick

Haven’t listened to episode yet but that’s one of THE top Moz songs ever. 🙌

RJ

🙂

Clare O'Brien

I’m a staunch supporter of Vanderpump Rules talk

RJ

Mike Brody 🔥

Harold B

Interesting he seems to prefer big budget Hollywood flicks even though his approach to filmmaking is so hardcore indie. Will definitely check his new film out
