Great interview and banter between these two. Loved hearing more about The Follower development and Brets efforts to work on a CW project lol!

2019-06-17 02:44:22 +0000 UTCI really liked this Bret and Jerry clicked great and seemed to have a good time. Relaxed and just buddies with a lots of litterature between them.

2019-06-17 02:41:43 +0000 UTCThe BEEP is back in form. I have only listened to the first half because the Patreon app SUUUUUCKS, but I’m sure it’s as great as the first half.

2019-06-14 17:09:17 +0000 UTCGreat interview - very insightful!!
Nick Strange
2019-06-14 01:47:41 +0000 UTCGreat episode. Loving every time a writer comes on. Would be great to get some show notes with the author episodes, cause Bret and the guest rattle through a dozen references I'd like to check out, but it's a bitch to go back and seek out what it was. Either way, more writers!

2019-06-12 16:12:07 +0000 UTCWhat an interview. Rooted to the spot listening to this like a hound in heat. Wow, the chemistry between y’all might rightfully make someone jelly. I haven’t heard you connect so genuinely well with a guest in a while. Even though it’ not an uncommon occurrence on your podcasts. This one was particularly - dare I say magical ? Thank you so much for these documents - I revisit them all often. Sorry if I sound unenlightened , but will there be, or is there video of these amazing events ??

2019-06-11 12:57:31 +0000 UTCI've become addicted to this podcast. Always a fun and insightful listen. I'd love to hear another round with Quentin Tarantino.

2019-06-10 17:43:11 +0000 UTCA particularly good episode. Jerry was such a great fit, super candid and brought the best out of Bret too I think. Thanks guys!

2019-06-09 20:04:32 +0000 UTCUse another player. I've had good luck with pocketcast -- it saves your place across platforms. There is a small fee for it, but I think there is a free trial.

2019-06-09 08:32:51 +0000 UTCTerrific episode. It feels like the podcast is really hitting its stride. Keep ‘em coming!

2019-06-08 21:50:40 +0000 UTCI saw Under the Silver Lake a few times ago (it came out in summer 2018 in France) and I was sure you were going to HATE it. Too referential, conceptual for you. I would have understand, because I found the first hour despicable : I felt like the movie was pretentious and heartless, standing aside of its character and being a mockery of the "fake news generation". But when the movie begin to BELIEVE his own conspiracy, I was complety hooked. It become strangely honest (the pianist god scene...) and deeply sad. As you said, it's a movie you either love or hate, and I did both even if the movie won me over. Glad you liked it ! I was afraid you were going to be bored with all of this white boy frustration a la American Animals LOL

2019-06-08 21:32:29 +0000 UTCBest moment: hearing Bret say 'psyduck.'

2019-06-08 19:08:47 +0000 UTCI love, love, love this podcast. Please note, however: Patreon's podcast player is a complete disaster. The download option is too. Both cut out for no reason, don't pick up where they left off, become choppy when certain other programs are open on my (very up to date) smartphone.

2019-06-08 10:36:32 +0000 UTCAnother amazing episode. If you didn’t have the standard Eagles question it would have been so great to go out on: “Forget about the politics, Jared’s just a hottie.” “Exactly.” Cut. Also the Milch article was in the New Yorker if I heard correctly. ⬆️
Mai Tai
2019-06-08 06:27:49 +0000 UTCMy favorite part of the week. What Milch article are they talking about? Vulture?

2019-06-07 23:12:53 +0000 UTC"coast on the fumes of ambition." Great line.
Alexander Quattlander
2019-06-07 21:46:21 +0000 UTCI've been waiting for this one! Bret & Jerry are my two biggest literary influences.
