2019-05-12 22:56:35 +0000 UTCHi Bret. I just finished White and I enjoyed it. Mostly I enjoyed it how it was more unpolished than your previous work but you put it out anyway. It's like I was reading a process of thought and writing more than the finished thought. And I found it really positive that the book inspired you to write more. I wouldn't mind you putting out more rawer writing like this. I feel your previous books have been more "perfect" but I just enjoy reading your work even though it was not perfect. Hope you write more stuff and release another work in the coming years!

2019-05-10 12:59:56 +0000 UTCThese two have an appreciable chemistry. Two hours of delicious "get off my lawn" banter; plus there's something amusing about Eli schooling Bret on "bi-erasure."

2019-05-07 20:42:30 +0000 UTCGreat podcast! Hope Eli can come back again soon. Would be interesting to hear him talk about any upcoming filmmakers he or Brett have an eye on. Will be grabbing my copy of White. Keep it up guys.

2019-05-07 01:41:52 +0000 UTCAlways great conversation when Bret and Roth get together. Never stops getting terrifying and dystopian hearing their opinions on censorship today. Had a tough time with the rape and sexual assault jokes though, especially Roth's comment on assessing the strength of someone's dreams based on overcoming a sexual assault or not.

2019-05-06 20:38:59 +0000 UTCTrump is more The Dead Boys than The Clash. Or maybe a dirt version of X.

2019-05-05 17:16:34 +0000 UTCEhhh... Eli doesn't understand the millennials at all. Trust me, no one ever gave a crap or was proud of a participation trophy. Hell, I've been a member of second place teams that threw their medals in the trash almost right on the spot. People who bring up that talking point are more out of touch than they think. The current anger from all sides is just about a general lack of control in life. Opportunities can be hard to come by and many good ones are pretty much pre-selected before you can even throw your hat into the ring. Not necessarily anything new but maybe a bit more pronounced than in other recent times.

2019-05-04 20:53:30 +0000 UTCEndless thematic repetition, endless aggrievement. Nothing about being creative, just non stop worry wort reasons to not being creative.

2019-05-04 17:07:30 +0000 UTCKnock Knock is a great movie to re-watch in the current moment
Harman Virdee
2019-05-04 10:58:20 +0000 UTCWas good but I didn't like how Eli caved to Bret's defence of A star is born. I had the exact same problem as Eli. The movie was psychologically pretty realistic up to that point, so it made the hard to understand suicide more jarring. Just saying every version has the scene doesn't explain why it didn't work in this one.

2019-05-03 19:48:01 +0000 UTCapparently patreon has been having issues with the rss feeds... here is what they are telling patrons: "If new episodes are no longer appearing in your podcast app, please try un-subscribing and re-subscribing with the same link that appears in the Overview section of the creator page. If this still doesn't work, we recommend trying a different podcast app or RSS feed reader to subscribe. If this still doesn't work, let us know as it may be a problem with the feed itself." -adam

2019-05-03 19:47:09 +0000 UTCExactly! I'm having the same problem, and the problem is that after they increased the prices, they basically disabled the link they had given us for our memebership. They need to send us all a new link.
