The B.E.E. Podcast - 7/19/19 - Jonathan Tucker - SILVER
Added 2019-07-19 22:38:28 +0000 UTCActor Jonathan Tucker and Bret Easton Ellis discuss the masterful perversion of Ari Aster's Midsommar, making The Virgin Suicides, mining your subconscious to play a character and fear as a guiding force of show business.
Comments
Are movies dead? Has television eclipsed film? Oh my god this topic again? Bret, you say less and less about this non-issue each time you bring it up. This is intellectual OCD. Enough already.

2019-07-27 14:06:46 +0000 UTCIntense guy, but hot as hell. I wish the whole interview had been more along the lines of the last 20 minutes. Jonathan was only good thing about Westworld Season 2. I would have watched the whole season if they didn't kill him off. I also love Tom Brady and am happy he thinks The Eagles are terrific. We seem to have a lot in common.

2019-07-24 00:47:10 +0000 UTCLoved this. I was really hoping to hear something about the Tobe Hooper Masters of Horror episode that Tucker was in. I suppose there probably wasn’t much to say about it though. I love when he has actors on here. Also, thanks for introducing me to Joan Didion! What a voice.

2019-07-23 19:32:18 +0000 UTCDisappointed that Bret walked out of SUNSET and TRANSIT, both of which I loved. I get the sense that Bret's not the biggest foreign film guy.

2019-07-22 17:43:55 +0000 UTCI caught Midsommar last night. I have to say if you are at all interested in seeing it definitely make the effort to see it in the theater. I liked Hereditary but didn't love it and maybe the collective hyperbole about it being the scariest film since...had a lot to do with that. That being said I was curious to see what Aster would do next. It is not without it flaws but was a great experience that had some excellent moments of dread and wonderfully handled hallucinatory imagery. The sound and soundtrack was amazing. So glad I saw it before it left the theaters.

2019-07-22 17:31:42 +0000 UTCAs a die hard BEE "fan boy", I'm interested in your thoughts on HOMECOMING. I watched it three times and found each viewing a new experience. Very MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE vibe. And the score... genius use of Bernard Herrmann, Pino Donaggio, et all. Casting superb, especially Sissy Spacek as Julia Roberts mother.
Richard Luna
2019-07-22 01:21:10 +0000 UTCDying to watch Midsommar. Hereditary was my favourite film from last year. Surprised Bret couldn’t enjoy the De Palma love letter that Kinfe + Heart is.

2019-07-21 18:31:41 +0000 UTCThis was a really great podcast. I will go watch Midsommar in a theatre for sure. Was going to anyways.

2019-07-21 17:14:44 +0000 UTCI liked "Under the Silver Lake", without putting too much expectation on it. But i got the now-familiar reaction from a friend: he hated it. What gives? I am less sanguine about TV than Bret is. The amount of dross you have to sift through is incredible -a consequence of the sheer size of the modern TV universe, full of quirky detectives, teen angst, hit men called out of retirement, superheroes who never outgrow their adolescence -the dreary list goes on. As for theaters, will they go way of the bookstore? I haven't bought a physical book -even from Amazon- in ages.

2019-07-21 07:32:46 +0000 UTCthank you! i still keep thinking about midsommar, and I watched Hereditary again, its dark sister 🖤

2019-07-20 03:28:53 +0000 UTCBret is moronic about Quixote which was the film of last year when I saw it twice in Paris, it’s totally not his thing though.
