Late review. Loved this one. Loved Bruce as a host, I find his voice to be so soothing, seems like an interesting gentleman (the part about the knife turning him pt 1, I think)

Marko Mancic

Carrie Fisher would be a great guest on BEE if she was alive.

Sam Leuenberger

1) During her interview on Late Night with David Letterman (August 11th, 1986), actress, singer, & comedienne Beverly D’Angelo A) wears a frizzy blonde hairdo swept off its haunches by a hot desert wind B) displays the quick, punchy timing of a scrawny cornered gangster C) covers The Rolling Stones on concertina, or D) sneezes on a candelabra from the séance kit that she keeps in her purse 2) D’Angelo enters Late Night from the green room. In Latin (Javanese, and Kurdish) “green room” means A) Land of Giant Vegetables B) Holographic jungle enclosure C) The “Whites Only” section of a gay bar, or D) subterranean cannabis plantation 3) Crossing the stage, D’Angelo’s A) entrance beckons the broad, sheepish glamour of a grown-up Prom Queen B) hips swivel like a seasoned catwalker leading up to the moment when she plants a tangy kiss on Letterman’s canned cornfed cheek C) applause quotient duplicates the sound of the perfect rain falling on a road designed for overcoming insomnia D) marriage to Duke Lorenzo is put to the test 4) As Miss Ponderosa Steakhouse (1973), Beverly D’Angelo A) toured India with bodyguards and a portable trap door B) protested the human condition C) played the part of a Bond girl starving on top of the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Plaza D) was cursed to raise two normal children 5) Awash in praise, the gobsmacked D’Angelo plunks down in Late Night’s guest chair and mouths “__________” to a throng of soused clergymen. A) Stop it B) Shoot me C) Do me E) I can’t breathe

Loved The Holdovers. I was shocked to find out that was Dominic’s first role in a movie.

Sam Leuenberger

Incredible

Justin

I think he mentioned this in his monologue about Dune.

Dan

These two episodes with D’Angelo were really good and refreshing. To hear someone who has worked in Hollywood for so long speak honestly and openly. A rare thing!

Michael Bronspigel

Beverly Deangelo was fantastic and insightful. I hope she comes back

Phoenix

This was gold.

Nat

Since no one’s listening to these, highly recommend the holdovers, touches of Bennington, the secret history, and Dominic Sessa would make a great Matt Kelner

Charlie C

Haven’t even bothered with these guest episodes but holy shit I need a lengthy Bret monologue soon. Read something, movie review, just uninterrupted Bret

Mary Walker

Good one. Thanks Beverly.

GC

Very unusual to hear an actress talk so intimately about personal relationships - enjoyed it.

Alex Waller

You could send the podcast message here, it might get looked at

Jim Seem

Bruh

Mark Scherrer

Was not exactly what I signed up for, but surprisingly entertaining. Bet Pacino will be pleased.

Rhianna Turnbull

Does anyone have any knowledge of how to contact Bret? I'm trying to find a podcast from the past couple years which contains particular sentences about the film viewing experience. But short of listening to every podcast I can't locate the lines I'm looking for. I feel that he might just remember if asked. As opposed to going through Andrew Townsend...

Rhianna Turnbull

Thanks, yeah it's a good topic.

Devon H. Dolan

Don’t know the exact episode(s), but he has referred many times to the “control” dynamics in the experience of watching a film in theater vs streaming at home — which probably relates to your pull quote

Rhianna Turnbull

... unrelated to this episode. Does anyone remember the episode in which Bret refers to his experience of watching a film as 'letting the film fuck you' 'acquiescing to the film' Many thanks - any leads
