Something strange happened while I was listening to this one. Bret's voice began to remind me of the narrator in Los Angeles Plays Itself and I wondered if Bret had seen that documentary ...and if so what did he think about it? Then about half an hour later he mentions that he indeed had seen it but neglects to inform us on what his opinion of it is. I think it would be interesting if Bret spent a few minutes reflecting on his experience watching that documentary.

He's mentioned a few times that he doesn't' t think anyone's written the great millennial novel yet, but I'm sure he must have read Sally Rooney.

2020-05-13 16:05:57 +0000 UTCThe podcast reminded me of the fact that I have seen Coal Miner's Daughter as a 16 year old in 1988 during a monthly cineclub run by nuns at the Catholic Lycée I attended at the time. No wonder I have hardly a bad word to say about those years.

2020-05-13 10:20:28 +0000 UTCBret’s dislike of The Abyss really stings! Loved that movie as a kid (still do). Also Underwater hugely underrated - that murkiness was sublime on the big screen.

2020-05-12 22:58:57 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed this episode but I nearly spit out my drink when Bret singled MORTAL THOUGHTS out as the best Alan Rudolph film. I can only assume he hasn't seen CHOOSE ME since the 80s. Kael was a big fan too "The love roundelay CHOOSE ME, written and directed by Alan Rudolph, on a budget of $835,000, is pleasantly bananas. The characters, who wander in and out of a bar called Eve's Lounge, are lighted as if Edward Hopper lived across the street and Reginald Marsh prowled the alley; they're all vaguely amnesiac, and their dialogue is overintellectualized in a hammy-hilarious way. The songs are performed by Teddy Pendergrass, and he's just right—he does what Tom Waits is supposed to do. The entire movie has a lilting, loose, choreographic flow to it. Rudolph and his cinematographer, Jan Kieser, have developed a swoony camera style befitting the romanticism of a movie in which everyone is obsessively looking for love."

2020-05-11 23:08:42 +0000 UTCI’m going to dig into to the Alan Rudolph filmography. I can listen to BEE muse on about films for hours. No guests needed. Thanks

2020-05-11 18:56:25 +0000 UTCI wonder if Bret has seen the trailer for the Valley Girl remake.

2020-05-11 12:25:45 +0000 UTCBret waffling on about movies for 90 minutes - even "The Abyss" - is podcast heaven. I hope this isn't the last one.
