I'm sorry, Bret's porn retelling, accent was great. I need to stop reading these comments before listening to these...y'all have no taste!

Florence

This is old but I'm assuming it's from me too? I just there were allegations from stoya...but I swear @ the time, there was a lot of back n forth....but there were multiple allegations...I just googled him and there's no new information about him....very surprised bc he was THE it male porn star for a while....idk who is anymore...I'm not on tumblr

BrienPiechos

I can't believe someone wants him to focus on writing Teenage Pussy when he hasn't even finished the script for Bloodhungry.

Ryan Mcnabb

Enough Adam already. It's starting to feel like the "Adam and Bret show starring Adam", and that's not what I'm paying for.

Justin

Sorry, but I don’t see the Bill Maher similarities at all. This podcast has been pretty much apolitical for a while now.

Paul Richardson

Adam rocks.

David Willis

How did you talk about the funniest things and not mention Larry David and Curb your Enthusiasm…

Brian Rooney

Had to unsubscribe for the first time. Don’t have much money, Bret, and other Patreons just offer more at this point… Stop. Going. The. Way. Of. Bill. Maher.

C Cipher

When did he leave the Adult film industry?

Tom Syverson

Jesus Christ, less inane chitchat at the beginning please…going on a half hour here of nothing I need to hear. And LESS ADAM. He does a great job as producer I’m sure but I really have no interest in listening to him.

Artemis Fedorchuk

I wonder if Richard Owain Roberts is just perpetually running. I hypothesize that the only time he ever stops running is when a new episode comes out, but he only stops briefly, so he can’t say anything about the previous episode since he’s already running to the new one.

GC

The Rapid impression was hilarious but then I looked at his wiki page and, um, yuck.

GC

It’s a horribly overused word used by pretentious dicks and not remotely applicable to BEE

N.M. Janice.

Me too. Especially because he said at one point that porn was his dream job and something he always wanted to do.

Graig Gilkeson

Bret should get Bryan Sevilla back on the pod so he can explain why he disavows his porn days and no longer goes by James Deen. I’m sincerely curious.

Paul Richardson

Coincidentally I just bought Porky’s on bluray - mainly for Kim Catrall.

Paul Richardson

Funniest thing I’ve ever heard on this podcast.

Pete Humphreys

Never commented before but feel compelled to say I enjoyed the Alex Kazemi episodes!

Jim Weaver

True. I actually like the unpredictability of where his thinking leads, but today got a little tedious. Adam unfortunately kept urging him on, def too much Adam today.

Poetical Gore

bret could get gay at anytimes...that is what the gays do ffs!

Vin Bravo

Self indulgent episode.

Jim Weaver

Hey guys, 44 minutes into the Q&A and still haven’t heard a Q. Favor, on future podcasts if could please advise whether Q&A stands for Queer and Avoidable or Questions and Answers.

Ashley

Bret has clearly never been to the south lol

Joe Paluck

I'm with you guys on Bridget Fonda

Artemis Fedorchuk

I don’t really think anybody does, but the colloquialism was the closest thing I could think of to describe people like Ana from neoliberalhell and Jack from weirdassprettythey lmfao. Red Scare adjacent older zoomers, I guess. Bear in mind that I was ten in 2016, so these are all just things I’ve gleaned

Stevan Popovic

Do a review of the Masters of Horror tv series? A new John Carpenter anthology series Suburban Screams is out in October.

Alex Bielovich

His recall was really impressive - he must have watched it a few times

Salomon Vertiz

Listening to Bret tell the origin story of Johnny Rapid in Johnny's voice was fucking hilarious. Please, let Bret talk about his favorite Gay porn stars at least every Q&A episode.

Darren Ankenman

Would love to hear Bret circle back to and review the old hollywood novel mentioned a few episodes back - The Goodby People

sasha

How about “will gladly attempt to swallow but will probably choke and nearly throw up”?

Poetical Gore

spit or swallow?

sasha

I’m 24 and male and not hot does this make me eligible for hire

Psych-O-Sonic 99

Who identifies as a “dirtbag leftist”? Wasn’t that back in 2016?

Patrick

Agree!

Artemis Fedorchuk

No, not really. I may be autistic, but I religiously use sarcasm.

Mark Schatzberg

Just to clarify, Eddie Murphy's Delirious didn't play in theaters, it was on HBO.

Psych-O-Sonic 99

Wow, that’s all it takes?

Artemis Fedorchuk

Adam prefacing it with “this is my gay for pay” took roughly a year off my life expectancy

Neil Anderson

don't watch Porky's! watch Tom Cruise and Shelley Long in "Losin' It"!

Justin

I love the guest episodes. I also love the q&a episodes. They just hit different. Glad the strike is over and happy for Bret that he can get back to work on The Shards.

Shawn Kilroy

I worked at a video store in the 90s. One time, a customer returned Total Eclipse, but instead, inside the VHS box was a home video of the customer gettin porked by his boyfriend.

Poetical Gore

Can we get a whole EP of bret talking like that southern gay for pay porn star? Also, Adam is hilarious 'that sucks balls in a bad way, not the good way you like Bret"

Happyhead

Your question was great and he was very gracious about it.

Maxwell Rinehart

Dear Bret, I am 25, male and hot. Please hire me!

Happyhead

Bret just officially made up for the Alex episodes with his gay porn star vocal impressions. Absolute gold

richard owain roberts

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

Seneca Garcia

Never once thought this pod was ever performative - that’s complete bollocks.

Patrick

Made! But Vince Vaughn doesn’t throw a goldfish at “The Captain” (Sam Rockwell). It is a shot. But a goldfish does get spilled onto the floor at some point. Great reference, Adam! Always makes me laugh too.

Keith campbell

I definitely want Johnny Rapid on the show now

Pp358

“I’m a quota writer.” 🍾💅🏼

Shawn Kilroy

Was 2Pack actually a myulatto?

Alex Waller

I think tv hasn't been as strong just because it kind of forgot what it did well originally. Everyone is chasing the prestige format but doesn't necessarily have the resources or the core idea to really make it good. So we basically have a bunch of streaming services pumping out half baked stuff. I think it would help to go back to basics and make some really good procedurals like Law & Order and The Good Wife. It simply gets exhausting going through heavy character study after heavy character study and everyone trying to make their Breaking Bad. Let's get back to some good episodic storytelling where characters revolve around a place rather than the endless soul searching.
