Such a fantastic interview.

This was fantastic. Seriously. Love hearing older guests. It's important we hear their voices and stories.

Really good episode.
Shawn Kilroy
Delightful episode! Class Of 1984 is a killer movie too, starring a terrifying Tim Van Patten, featuring Roddy MacDowell!
Brian Borough
Such a fun episode , one of the best this season

Did Tom really say he went to a movie high on poppers ?? Was that a thing in the 70s? For straight people ??

Love this. Tom Holland is excellent. PSYCHO II is underrated, love Meg Tilly in it. But Bret, It's "Wis-ter" not "Wur-chester" :)

I’ve found myself enjoying PSYCHO 2 over the years. It’s not brilliant filmmaking but a shockingly honorable sequel to kick off the following sequels. Enjoyed this conversation very much!
Alexander Quattlander
Great guest. A real old school dude that came off authentic and endearing.
Dave
Loved the Tom Holland interview - and the name dropping.
Megan Abbott
Great interview--and would love to find that Rona Barrett clip!
Paul Richardson
Likewise.

I'm with Mr. Holland. I probably read more now than I ever have. We live in an era of "content" overload. Too much available to watch all at once. I've kind of tapped out of keeping up with what's new. If I do watch a series, it's something that ended at least two years ago, and I take my time with it. I don't binge watch it in week, instead I'll drag it out over a few months. Otherwise, I'm reading fiction and non-fiction or watching old movies.

Well done Bret. Pure class

Fun interview. I remember watching Fright Night on VHS when I was 6 or 7. The poster alone scared me. And even at that age I thought Chris Sarandon was🔥
Nick Anderson
absolutely delightful
Keagan Afonso
Haha no the 5 views is more a remark to indicate that he is shouting to the void giving nobody his air time when he could be talking about editing for Sidney Lumet with the ultimate new Hollywood appreciater like Bret

5 views! That just the kind of buzz the BEE podcast is looking for in new guests! : ). Kidding. That'd be a solid guest.
Keagan Afonso
Bret the editor of All that jazz, as well as Network , Alan Heim would be a perfect guest I just heard him do an interview on a YouTube channel with like 5 views- I'm sure he is LA based and easy to book
Thomas Edwards
Just delightful. Thank you for interacting so beautifully with, and recording the experiences and memories of, this generation.

Halfway thru and loving every minute. 🙌

Psycho 2 is quite good. Thanks for another fabulous episode Brett

Never read the book. But I thought the talking fetus was surreal, heartbreaking and beautiful.
Collin Myers
amazing interview. fright night was one of my favorite horror movies when i was a kid. have heard psycho 2 is actually a very good/underrated sequel. great stuff. great episode. and the best reaction to the eagles question lolol
Rebecca Luxton
Do you have a comment on the talking CGI fetus? Thought the rest of it was great, very faithful to the JCO source material.

That was utterly wonderful. The bit where he asked Bret if he’d read his book and Bret replied ‘of course’ was lovely. He was delighted by that.
Joseph Orlando
Blonde is a must review!!!!
Thumperdinck
We want to hear about Blonde! My favorite film of the year so far. A legit masterpiece imho.
OSOS
Hoping for a Bret review of Blonde and the controversy around it soon!
grainpulp

Nick Not Nolte

richard owain roberts

PETER GREER
Excellent épisode thank you 🙏🏻
Seneca Garcia
“I’m still trying to get around to seeing Bill and Teds’Excellent Adventure” -pretty funny quip. Also, it still remains uncanny Bret’s reading habits 😅 - another fascinating Pure LA/Hollywood guest.
Normaling
LEGEND. Psycho 2 has gotta be one of the greatest horror sequels
