The <i>What We Do In The Shadows</i> film is SO good and funny and very sweet. I've seen it several times.

Antonio Primavera

DeSica's <i>Umberto D.</i> is so good! But, my wife bawled and says she'll never see it again.

Antonio Primavera

Morrissey is the best! He's always said that he doesn't like labels, that they are there just to make people feel bad.

Antonio Primavera

Goddamn! Rufus has a "yeah" machine gun!

MikeE

I had a friend ages ago that had a tendency to get names wrong. For example, he always called Rufus ‘Rupert’, and he was from NY and had an accent so it was even funnier to me. We saw him at I believe the Wilshire Ebel early ‘00’s (great show with a touching encore cameo with his father Louden.) This guy passed away a few years ago but I still crack up when I think of him saying ‘what time is the Rupahht show again?’ Definitely a you had to be there thing but a warm memory as an Xer of past great times from listening to this one.

Mark Cleary

Okay you need to take a cold shower, presumably the only option anyway in Hungary.

Justin

How many yeah does yeah Rufus say yeah, yeah, in this interview? Yeah, annoying yeah yeah

James Reeves

Ate poo, Patreon?

Brian Borough

yeah

Zodiac Zach

Great to hear Bret's take on Mysterious Skin, a vastly overlooked and under-rated film which is as moving and complex as anything I've seen. Maybe one day people will make films like this again?

I just watched The Rubin Report interview on YouTube💯on point, not that I expected anything less Bret.

Steve

How many times does Rufus say "yeah" in this interview? Annoying.

Isabelle Landry

To start appreciating opera, I may suggest watching Jean-Jacques Beneix’s 80’s film Diva. La Wally is its main theme and its easy to love.

Patrick

Where was the Nick Cave quote pulled from?

Great interview and guest.

Christopher Webster

DEVS was well executed, but the lead actress is a vacuum, sucking up any charm or urgency the series might have had.

Kat Chamberlin

Bret, what do you think of Family Romance LLC by Herzog?

Great episode. Further to when they talk about their looks: I remember Bret from 2008 when he was the headliner of the international book festival in Budapest (Hungary). There was a huge line of fans clutching mostly their American Psycho copies, then Bret entered. Sleek, ethereal, elegant. He was the most beautiful human being I have ever seen. He was donning leather driver gloves, looked like this high fashion aviator from a highly stylized movie, very Don Draper. I was so stunned that I convinced my friends that instead of standing in line for a couple of awkward seconds while he signs our book (for me it would have been Glamorama), we should stand close to the autograph booth and watch him while he politely and coolly does it for everyone else. Our staring was so direct, that at one point he looked at us, we were waving like crazy and he waved back. I said, that's it. This is more than we could have wished for. So cool, I never felt so cool and happy as then. So yes, Bret did look great when he was 44.

Jan Rörvik

The Velvet Buzzsaw? lol.

Jan Rörvik

Any other interesting LA podcasters you can recommend?

Jan Rörvik

Interesting window into Tinzeltown you give here.

P Smoke

Another great episode! Bret, would you consider devoting one of your opening monologues to discussing all the lockdown reading you’ve been doing? Would love to hear your thoughts on books as well as movies

Mark Conrad Weisner

New member here. A Brit in lockdown in Japan. Love the show and so happy I can now unlock the treasure trove of back editions😃👍The Eagles deserve respect!

Jon A.

The only film from this godforsaken year I really liked was Swallow. I think Bret would really enjoy this one.

Reservoir Frog

Rufus sounds like Louis CK doing his stereotypical‘Mexican’ voice. 😂

James Reeves

I want a “gay monster,” too!

nick

A David Mamet episode would be killer!!

Erick

Yesss just started listening.

PM Glavin

I love RW’s laugh!

Michael Glaberman

It’s so refreshing to hear Bret vent his feelings about the madness of our current world. Would really love for him to have David Mamet or get Bret on Joe Rogan. Been a listener of BEE podcast since the beginning! Love everything you produce. Thank you.

Brian Rooney

Really cool monologue. Kael sandwiched between Didion on Covid. Second most asked question: What's your central trauma? Also, a real discussion on the state of music. Lyrics are bad these days; Rufus puts it right... In need of a First Cow review.

Billy Vega

Wish I could consume content like Bret!

Richie Laufman (Dixie who went Yank)

Another excellent episode! Anyone know what YouTube video Brett is referring to? The 600k view video.

Dominic Coke

Bret: you NEED to watch “Normal People”

Aleksandar Erkalovic

Started to watch Frayed. It is good.

Brandon Fris

This isn't coming through on my RSS feed - anyone else have this problem or is it me?

Jorge Espinha

Never disappoints!

might be able to swing it in the future... thanks benjamin! -adam

Binyamin Ironstone

Can’t wait to listen. May I post a mild complaint about the recent schedule of dropping these on a Sunday night? What about Sunday AM? One could wake up with eager anticipation and listen as breakfast and errands and pool tanning are slowly achieved. Just a thought!
