Kevin Smith: I had a great childhood....no trauma.... Kevin Smith all throughout the interview, referring to himself.... stupid fat fuck....stupid fat fuck...stupid fat fuck....
Chris Wright
I someone doubt that Kevin's works are near and dear to Bret's heart!
Chris Wright
he's eighty years old now so I think he'd be the oldest guest Bret has ever had
Chris Wright
pretty sure that Bret (regrettably) doesn't vibe on the film version

Can we just pause and give thanks for this amazing Scorsese graphic?
Josh S.
Jeremy Saulnier, Luca Guadagnino, Ruben Ostlund or Alain Guiraudie. Fincher is too good to be true.
Chad Daniel Russell
Hadn't thought of him. Solid guess!

David Robert Mitchell
Ryan Kindermann
I hope it’s DePalma, though Friedkin would be highly entertaining.
Alan Beam
Bogdanovich !
Filipa de Araújo
I just thought of Luca Guadagnino, but I'll cheat and add Mary Harron due to the "near". As others said, Polanski would be quite the intense experience.

Bennett Miller

It'd be great if it was Fincher but he's filming Mank right now
Jerome Busca
Mary Harron
Brian Rooney
De Palma!!!!
Billy Vega
Fincher ? Friedkin more likely. Though I've never heard Bret really talk about the exorcist. John Carpenter? He's been on before though.
Edgar Phipps
Spike Lee
Chris Wright
Terrence Malick? https://www.criterion.com/current/top-10-lists/286-bret-easton-ellis-s-top-10

Would be a hell of a listen...

No, they said: ‘with a director whose most famous film is near and dear to Bret's heart’ ...
Matt De Marco
Noah Baumbach

Oh wow right
Chad Daniel Russell
Would never happen, but it'd be epic if he landed an interview with Polanski.
J C
Seems like logical choice
J C
I’m going with Stone
J C
Joon-Ho?
Chad Daniel Russell
I was thinking Malick. Friedkin is more likely and would be a great interview guest.
Bookth
Well, we've had Peter Bogdanovich (last picture show) and Paul Schrader (american gigolo). Malick for Days of Heaven? Probably way too big a name tbh. Friedkin for French Connection or Exorcist?
David Morgan-Brown
must be Neil Breen
J C
Casualties of War? I would put that near the bottom close to Snake Eyes with N Cage
Cine-Mechanic
They said "best film" not most famous. DePalma's best film is either Blow Out or Casualties of War.
J C
Oliver stone?
J C
Who do you think it is?
Bookth
But what would De Palma's Most Famous Film be? I know Brett loves Blow Out, but not sure that would be more famous than Untouchables, Mission Impossible, Scarface etc. Maybe Carrie? I think the specificity of one stand out film counts De Palma out, unfortunately.
