Great performances — Gena Rowlands in Cassavetes’ films …
Alexander Quattlander
Agree bout Cape Fear bein complete opposite flicks but Scorseses much more fun other one kinda boring. Also take Dostoyevsky over Tolstoy. Think Brothers is way more captivating than War and Peace. And Crime Punishment one of greatest ever. Also thought BEE made great point bout Leo in Killers way over did the character.

Very surprised Bret still hasn't mentioned Mr Inbetween yet. Eli Roth's favourite ever TV show, pretty violent, no ideology - Bret needs to see it!!!
JEREMY ROBERTS
Highly pleasurable. Now I will relisten to Sam's show ;)

Killers of the Flower Moon was set and filmed in Oklahoma, not Texas.
Seneca Garcia
THE COKE WAS IN THE DRAWER WAITING FOR YOU

Great to have Bret back. Ten more years of the same please
Matt
It’s pronounced ‘sini-ast’
Alex Holt
10 years! Grateful for you bros!
Justin
Same.

And all these years I thought the Podcast One monologues were fast like that because Bret was hopped up on coke.

Bret looks at his phone in the theater ugh e tu Brutus
Thomas Rankin
I always wondered why the PodcastOne monologues were done so fast

Paris, Texas is great. And yes, I agree with you. I too look forward to Brets film book. I love his reviews and criticism even if I disagree half the time.

Purple sword and the love purse and treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality

Matthew Broderick would be perfect for the role of Bret Easton Ellis if ever it is adapted to the screen.

Having had both the Like a Virgin and True Blue records when I was an impressionable young girl, I feel it is my duty to read the Madonna biography. Congrats to 10 years. Been listening since the beginning. Don’t think I’ll ever stop.

As a fellow day-oner, 🥂!
jooj

I would happily read a 2000 page book on film by Bret - although he’s dead wrong about Paris, Texas. (Which I guess makes me a ‘cineaste’.)
Travis Films
Hey! Thank you very much!
Dave Mason
It's funny how Bret is still uncertain how to say Coppola correctly. 😂
Dave
I’d agree that Bruce should do his own podcast (that voice).

Happy Thanksgiving Bret and Adam 🦃
R. M.
Bret please review GOD IS A BULLET
Ben
I've been here since day one. Love this podcast!
Sean M.
Oh man ... really enjoyed the Joyce discussion. Dubliners, Portrait, then Ulysses is the way it's done is a great way to prime yourself for Finnegan's Wake. Agree about the language.
Justin
Glad to have you back, Bret. Happy thanksgiving!

So yeah, Bret reading the audiobook for Lunar Park. That would be a perfect revisit to it. If only...
Travis Films
Where can I find the first podcast? And all the other podcast 1 episodes? Please. Thank you.
Adam Long
Yes welcome back.
Nick Not Nolte
insane the shards takes place in la and we only got that mask-required school campus auditorium live event 🤣 but two weeks off for europe lol pop off another us leg on the tour.
Alexander Quattlander
Yes Beverly was great but she did amble on a little long at times about mundane stuff. Wagner was excellent but could have stepped in more. Wasson had a great guest but they barely talked movies! No one cares about how hard it is to throw stupid parties for celebrity events. Albeit i still am excited for his new book.
Patrick
Not that there’s anything wrong with it. 👊
richard owain roberts
am going to listen on my run. will say more later, after my run.
PETER GREER
Thank you
Neil G.
HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY, BEE POD!! AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
Patrick
Welcome back, Bret! And more than ever Adam is my fav b/c he’s always right. That dude is 💯 gay.
Clare O'Brien
If Bret decides to speak more on new movie releases I’d love to hear his thoughts on May December
Seneca Garcia
10 years Ryde or Die listener - this pod has helped personally, professionally, artistically - better than a therapist - BIG BIG congrats
Alex Waller
Thanks for the great answer to the Cape Fear question. I'm pretty much in agreement that Mitchum is probably the better Cady but that De Niro is still really good. I also concur that De Niro was excellent in Killers of the Flower Moon
Christy A
much needed bret fix. love the title

Adam, please start naming mp3 files in one coherent way. It is impossible to sort them by name at this time. My suggestion is "BEE_S07E40_GuestName_Date.mp3". Thanks
OHH
Welcome back!
