Meaning she hasn’t worked a day in her life.
Caleb Snyder
This women is a diamond. She works for love.
chad mulchin
Nice episode. Not my favourite but certainly intriguing.
Trevor Tillman
Yikes this was cringe.
Daniel
good lord
Josh Groves
At first I thought this was a parody of two self-infatuated, Hollywood-types talking to one another, so I thought it was funny and well performed. Then I realized that this is actually how these two friends talk to one another. Name-dropping. Inane stories that go nowhere. Every other sentence is a humble-brag. Is this sort of conversation typical for long-time Hollywood-types, or are these two just in a special class of their own?
Duncan Birmingham
I love Sam's books (although hated his take on Tar) and love Colleen Camp but this was, um, not great. I was curious to know how she went from actress to producer but there was just no context given. I was also totally confused by how her PR work and producing work go hand in hand. And no Death Game stories!?
JEREMY ROBERTS
Fucking dreadful. Just because people work in Hollywood does not mean they are interesting. FUCK NO. FUCK OFF!
Keith campbell
Wow, that was gruelling ! Insight into the journalist / historian’s craft though … find a maniac, let them ramble maniacally with the occasional interruption with a flattering comment and see what you learn
Neil G.
pseudo intellectual, pathetic, kiss ass POS who thinks Don Siegel is low-class simply cause he makes genre films cause even though he's Gen Y, he gives into the most moronic, classical pseudo intellectualism without even questioning it...not to mention, Bret kinda does too...anyway, Wasson, seriously, fuck yourself...and Bret, seriously, come on, now 😂😂
Elizabeth
I love Sam and Colleen was just as expected…I love a good rambling conversation
Sean Meehan
Lol
Ronnie
Money back please
Ronnie
Yeah, sorry, but I also bailed after 10 minutes
N.M. Janice.
Well played.
Eric Macom
Bailed after :10 mins. I never learned what it is exactly she does, and I’m ok not knowing
Collin Myers
love bret and adam and sam but this was awful
Collin Myers
not going to listen on my run, will not say more later, after my run
KCDC
Nailed it.
KCDC
Hey Adam, could you even see the studio floor with all the name Colleen dropped?
Dan Palmer
Adam should cut together a ‘What Do You Think of The Eagles?’ compilation and keep it on ice for a future Brett-less emergency.
Peter Guzzo
I say this with love, but that was brutal. Next time Bret is gone, have Adam host the show.

Love Sam and Colleen, inspiring episode!
R. M.
Verbal felation meets verbal diarrhea. Atrocious.
Dancing
This was trash. Who are these airheads? The sycophantic dude was almost as insufferable as the Inside Hollywood old broad. So fucking amateur with zero introduction or context given. Waste of money.
Tom Syverson
LMAO this is fucking unlistenable. I'm not even mad or annoyed, it's hilarious how bad it is. They sound absolutely drunk and not in a good way. I made it 7 minutes.
GC
That was some campy fun, well done!
Dodge Zelko
Colleen it's not just a skill it's a TALENT
Knokkel knokkel
I proclaim that LA is the most important place on Earth. The magnetism that draws the most talented people from all over America, even foreign lands, to come to Los Angeles and express their creativity and in return make millions of dollars acting , writing, hosting and just being famous. Drop $300K on a party, no problem! A $ 14892 lunch at The Ivy, the production company covers it, an all nighter at Dan Tana`s is covered by the studio. Famous people everywhere. Wealth beyond imaginations. $ 50M villa on Doheny, private planes and private yachts. Just by living in LA you will become wealthy from your creativity.

So good! Would love to hear Bret converse with Colleen.
Lionel
Ha ! Was thinking the same thing
Artemis Fedorchuk
Heartily awaiting Bret’s review of the Five Night’s At Freddy’s movie.
Jim Weaver
Sam, “Slow down, you move too fast, got to make the podcast last” (with thanks to Paul Simon) A somewhat interesting, but overall exhausting hour.
Robin Hunter
I'm glad we got to hear from here. Grest character actress over the years. Would of liked more acting stuff then her party stuff. But interesting that she is a great promoter. Never knew that part of her life.
Thomas Edwards
And there I was thinking it was Taylor Swift.
Romeo Delta Charlie
Satire, surely?
Mentat Matt
Omg it was so bad I was driven to find a comments section that I didn’t know existed.
Paul McConalogue
LA drivel tap is rushing here.
N.M. Janice.
Unfortunately, in 50 years, we will probably all be living like the humans in WALL-E.
Seneca Garcia
Bret on a book tour - and the podcast turns into Robert Altman’s The Player - Cheers from Houston - fabulous & good people
Mike
Angela Burnbaum
Richard Raymond
Best show in years
Poetical Gore
about 12 years ago I saw her names in the credits of a signed, sealed, and delivered movie and had to go through the whole thing again to see who she was.....
Paul Richardson
Did you hear the one about Sharon Stone and the bishops?
Dustin
An episode about parties Bret would never attend.
Alex Dermer
He’s not bad, I guess, but I care not for him in just under an hour.
Billy Schafer
That's not even Colleen Camp in the thumbnail. It's her co-star Cynthia Wood, Playboy Playmate of February 1973.
Oleg
It seems that bret had some publicity lately because I cannot understand why there are so many new morons in the comments.
Erick
Couldn't get past first five minutes. Not my jam but Bret will be back so whatever
Jim Seem
Glamorama vibes
Andrew Hearne
There really are some rude unpleasant comments here. An ignorant sense of entitlement. I guess that’s a lot of modern online discourse for you. I wonder in 50 years time will we look back and be embarrassed and ashamed by our behaviour in the cyberspace.
Harold B
Of course, it's Brett's pod, but I agree this feels wrong. I guess it's hard for Brett just to do an evergreen recording, given that he doesn't want to do film reviews anymore. And tbf a guest host is better than another Timewarp podcast, so perhaps there's no good solution for when brett is busy.
Harold B
Yeah, but still. Wow. :/
Duke
Sweden and Portugal as far as I know.
Alec K. Redfearn
I made it about 15 minutes before switching over to Last Podcast on the Left.
Alec K. Redfearn
I'd tune in for that.
Alec K. Redfearn
I second this.
Tommy Stronach
Get Alex Kazemi to be a guest host next time just so the comments will be fun.
Jonathan Davis
Kinky.
Flounge
Where in Europe is Bret, I couldn't find anything. Is it just a media thing or is he doing public readings as well?
edwin
I don’t pay measly sheckles every month to listen to some rat fuk talk to an actress I’ve never heard of. I divest my previous keesh to let Bret’s godvoice sonorously rape my ear canals.
Justin
Skipping this one.
Nick Not Nolte
made it 4:08 before i stopped 🤣😵
Nick Not Nolte
Ohhh would rather wait two weeks than another guest host. Sheesh. take the week off next time 🤣
R. M.
Bret please consider pre-recording episodes before you go away rather than a guest host. As it is some of us are not really interested in the majority of the guests and the idea of paying for guest on guest BS is not desirable. Maybe pre-tape some Q&A’s. And if you must, the only acceptable guest hosts: Adam, Todd.
Joaquin Chavez
i love her she is a national treasure
richard owain roberts
am going to listen on my run. will say more later, after my run.
Andrew Lee
I think it has something to do with 38 years passing by?
Poetical Gore
I made it 8 minutes only because I was on the train
Poetical Gore
Next time Todd should host. He is funny. I tapped out in under 10 minutes of this EP.
Patrick
Total bullshit Todd didn’t guest host.
Stuart Chivers
I loved The Big Goodbye and will likely buy Sam’s forthcoming Coppola book. I couldn’t get through five minutes of this though. He sounds like he’s either on entirely the wrong medication or far too high a dose.
Josechu Carreras
Hahahaahahahaahhaaha! It was something else today...
Josechu Carreras
I know I know... hahahah
Constantine
Take it easy
Ashley
I like Sam. And his old man voice even though he’s only 42? lol and I recognize Colleen’s voice from seeing Palo Alto, which she has a small part but she’s very funny in it.
John Pineda
Somebody please come get their drunk grandma
Poetical Gore
Dude, how did she Colleen Camp go from Clue babe to looking like Bruce Villanch from the Simpsons??? the horror
Thomas Edwards
Brett wanders an LA party and stumbles upon an amusing Hollywood tableu, replete with more name dropping than a soggy phone book and a lady who speaks like Trump. That's (surreal) entertainment!
Josechu Carreras
Really? Hahahhaha! The BBE ... but Sam Wasson podcast... I don't get it. I pay for Bret not for Sam Wasson who I liked.. read the Chinatown book... but hey ! Why???? It's a scam. Not the BBE podcast this week... th
souleraser
HOLY SHIT! Dream guest
N.M. Janice.
Love Sam!
Eric M. Rhein
His “Chinatown” book is one of the best non fiction works I’ve ever read.
Mark DeCaro
Who better?
