Bret, your loving expository on Boogie Nights was so beautifully eloquent and incisively articulate that I felt compelled to annoy a few friends by texting them the link to the teaser and following up to make sure that they had actually listened. Hope you get a few new subscribers. Please keep doing these. I am anticipating them with genuine excitement, regardless of the subject matter, and am enjoying these pods more than most good movies/books
Patrick Connolly
Emotional monogamy. Wow
David
Now that’s what I call a podcast! It needs a sequel that includes a review of “Star 80”.
Tomas Fransson
Brilliant stuff about Boogie Nights and Body Double. PTA has been a favorite ever since with Magnolia being his best work IMO. Inherent Vice had all the potential to be a great movie but the strange plot killed it for me. Maybe makes more sense after a second viewing? I would love to hear your take on the underrated Alpha Dog from 2006 with a surprisingly stellar performance by Justin Timberlake and a masterclass interview scene with Sharon Stone. Thanks for bringing us the best podcast! Always interesting and poignant no matter the topic.

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole show. Some very interesting insights. Bret - you are testing your audience - as you did in your novels. Way to go. How about a monologue some time about one or two of your novels & their afterlife - that aren't all over Instagram?
Chuck
I didn’t hear Bret ask him how he feels about the Eagles.

Been LOVING the new season of podcasts! Question, perhaps this already exists and I don't know about it, but is there a playlist, say on spotify, of the music used on the show? If not, would be awesome to access a curated BEE podcast music playlist. Great music selections!

Loved the Boogie Nights and Body Double analysis. Have you ever done one on American Psycho or The Rules of Attraction? Would love to hear about how much you were involved with those productions specifically, how far off they veered from the books and your reaction upon first viewing them...and how you view them now.
David Eugene
Big studios don’t have to anymore. You notice in the opening credits for ANYTHING you see now has like 5 production companies listed? It’s as if the Indy studios and prod. cos. do all the leg work and risk, and a big studio picks it up at Sundance.
Michael MacGowan
Anything that has "Drivers Seat" featured prominently gets my admiration.
Kristian Rasmussen
How I loved the "Go all the way" intro. Classic.
Todd
Fascinating interview. He was the perfect guest for Bret with his mixture of porn industry gossip and the overall frankness about his life. Definitely going to pick up a copy of his book
Chris Wright
pornhub and their affiliates are such cheap, lousy tube sites, where clips are rarely longer than ten or twelve minutes. For full movies eporner is far superior. and then the video search engine for Bing is very useful too.
Seth T Skuza
I rewatched this the other night and I was thinking the same thing. Would a major studio ever put money behind something like this? Seems impossible.
Raymond Cummings
Great podcast.
Christopher Ibanez
I was a PA on The Canyons and this guy was one of the nicest, most genuine people I met on the set. Good taste in music too — talked about his love of black metal if I remember correctly.
Brandon Cook
boogie nights is a true classic. will they ever make a movie like that again?
