2024-12-02 03:44:56 +0000 UTCGreat conversation and good example of how interesting people are when they aren’t talking about politics!

2024-12-01 17:06:38 +0000 UTCI worked on most of the Menendez ministries in the ‘90s, and I worked on a movie which the Menendez father was associated with. His murder apparently affected the release of that movie. I’ll probably check out the new one, based on what I’ve heard.

2024-12-01 00:47:34 +0000 UTCEh… They can’t all be slam dunks. Part 1 of this was insufferable. But this was a fun listen. Especially when she interviews Bret.

Harold B
2024-11-30 18:42:30 +0000 UTCI’ve noticed this too. Guests who say they listen to the podcast still ask for clarification about which eagles he means. Ffs just answer the question
Harold B
2024-11-30 18:30:30 +0000 UTCKurtz is right: the HAMLET soliloquy is so embarrassing. (But I disagree with her about JOKER 2.)

Bryan
2024-11-30 18:11:14 +0000 UTCSo glad this was a double episode!! More please!

2024-11-30 14:16:23 +0000 UTCNot sure where to post this question, but can anyone remember which episode Bret discussed the Bee Sting on?

2024-11-30 02:15:45 +0000 UTCMore enjoyable than the first part.

2024-11-29 19:53:05 +0000 UTCYes, the band!!!! For Christ Sake. I don’t know how Bret holds it together. Otherwise, I enjoyed this episode.
Phoenix
2024-11-29 18:04:25 +0000 UTCShe's addressed this really well on her channel, and sees it as smart and necessary. The judge wasn't allowing the use of a bulk of his evidence and its was going to be an expensive waste of time.
Paul Church
2024-11-29 10:06:34 +0000 UTCI'm lefty as hell and these two episodes with Kristen were superb and refreshing. You two really get to the heart of left dysfunction. Kristen's YouTube channel Colonel Kurtz is among the best out there, and getting to hear her and Brett in conversation was a real treat.
Paul Church
2024-11-29 10:01:44 +0000 UTCOne of the best guests ever.

2024-11-27 21:17:26 +0000 UTCIn the book, Patrick Bateman gets into Dorsia twice, once only because his brother Sean was able to get a reservation & the second time was because he impersonated someone on the list & was caught by the maitre d’. The scene where Patrick awkwardly attempts to jibe with the African American guys at the club would’ve also been hilarious to see in the film adaptation ha ha

Poetical Gore
2024-11-27 04:30:35 +0000 UTCGlamorama is my number 1 and most re-read.
Patrick
2024-11-26 23:17:07 +0000 UTCGreat episode. Loved the AP talk because after maybe 20 years I’m rereading it riiight now. 🙌
Patrick
2024-11-26 23:09:11 +0000 UTCHaven’t read Imperial Bedrooms & White yet either.
Ryan Peck
2024-11-26 23:06:44 +0000 UTCI’ve read Less Than Zero, The Rules of Attraction, American Psycho, The Informers, & The Shards & although I like them all, I like The Shards the best! I’ve yet to read Glamorama & Lunar Park, but I’ve heard those are also considered masterpieces.
Ryan Peck
2024-11-26 23:06:05 +0000 UTCThis one was less deranged entirely because BEE is great at being interviewed.
M. Nero Nava
2024-11-26 22:57:57 +0000 UTCI usually look forward to new episodes every week, but this two-part guest appearance was disappointing. It didn’t offer anything new or insightful. I was particularly interested in hearing more about Bret and his work, but the segment felt too short—almost like it was cut in the edit. They didn’t even get around to discussing The Shards, which was a letdown.
Darren
2024-11-26 16:11:57 +0000 UTCAs you might have surmised, I didn’t get nearly that far in version 1. At least this time they are talking about books and movies and not trump
Keith campbell
2024-11-26 13:59:15 +0000 UTCBret didn’t ask what she thought of The Eagles at the end of the previous episode, that was a big clue there would be a Part 2
