S8E18: Chicken Tenders
Added 2024-05-21 03:06:55 +0000 UTCBret discusses the rise of America's finest directing duo, watching myths crumble over time and the death of a noisy 90's legend as he responds to Platinum questions on the air.

Albini became an embarrassing progressive parody... pro masks, pro vax... anti-vaxxers should be punched in the face type of guy. Believed in the trans lie that trans women ARE women. Would get into constant twitter fights with old fans questioning his views. He seemed completely unbearable the last few years. Some opined that he was trying to make amends for his edgelord past. But hey, I should've stuck to the John Lydon ethos of not speaking ill of the dead. But I really found Albini to be odious.

2024-06-27 10:50:05 +0000 UTCAlbini was such an interesting nut job lol.

2024-06-24 23:42:06 +0000 UTCAlbini was a covidian who revered the clot shot. Ironic for an indie music guy. Clot shots do what clot shots do….

2024-06-23 06:49:47 +0000 UTCBret definitely said when he was on How Long Gone as Chris described the new Sally Rooney book “well I just jizzed”

2024-05-26 04:52:39 +0000 UTCWell, take Lou's first 6 albums and Iggy's first 6. It's purely a matter of preference. Iggy was one of Bowie's early heroes. Lou was ultimately more 'literary' but Iggy didn't need to be. Intellectually, they are equals. I reckon 😉 😏 😄

2024-05-25 11:04:48 +0000 UTCI knew Dune 2 wouldn’t be Bret’s thing from his reaction to the first film… I dunno for me it just hit on aesthetics and spectacle which few other big name directors can produce these days. Listened to a bit of The Amps and definitely not my thing but The Breeders Pod album Adam recommended sounded cool after the first couple of tracks. Will be checking out the rest of it and their other stuff. Good podcast as always lads!
David Willis
2024-05-25 02:09:41 +0000 UTCIn the span of forty-plus years we've come from Bret spotting Robert Mallory at The Shining to him dealing with hulking masses with chicken tenders at Challengers and presumptuous backpackers with lost intentions at Civil War.

2024-05-25 00:35:49 +0000 UTCIt’s because people keep asking the same shit!
Thomas Matich
2024-05-24 18:56:42 +0000 UTCAdam has impeccable music taste. The Amps’ Pacer & The Breeders’ Pod albums are such an under-appreciated masterpieces.

2024-05-24 16:56:15 +0000 UTCIt would be a shame to waste a long form Bret interview on JR. Get him on Red Scare.

2024-05-24 15:21:31 +0000 UTCTHE MAN WHO WASN"T THERE is a great B & W neo-noir from the Coen brothers with Billy Bob Thorton, Frances McDormand, James Gandolfini that is a bit under the radar.

2024-05-24 13:09:45 +0000 UTCAlso, Inside Llewyn Davis is a masterpiece.

2024-05-24 03:02:39 +0000 UTCHuge fan of Miller's Crossing, def deserves a re-watch Also, Bret skipped Coen Bros. HAIL CEASAR in their filmography. Perhaps the best critique of the Hollywood system ever filmed, not to mention Capitalism.

2024-05-24 01:59:27 +0000 UTCI did Proust over like 7-8 months and a second time over 4 months. I usually did like 50 pages a day that first time with one break for a month to read a few other things. I also want to do Caro Lbj…

2024-05-23 19:44:51 +0000 UTCIggy is every bit the artist and innovator that Lou is.
JEREMY ROBERTS
2024-05-23 19:01:46 +0000 UTCJust checked out the trailer for Hundreds of Beavers, not particularly intrigued. But then I was almost certain it was going to be a documentary about porno screen tests…
Jim Weaver
2024-05-23 17:18:09 +0000 UTCI'm so glad I re-subbed after taking a podcast break. Bret going off about the zombies and chicken tenders has given me life.

2024-05-23 16:25:58 +0000 UTC“Hulking mass” was a vivid description
Alex Bielovich
2024-05-23 16:10:32 +0000 UTCThat cover is the greatest thing I've ever seen.
Claude Henry Smoot
2024-05-23 15:28:52 +0000 UTCBret needs to take his Paul Schrader impersonation on the road. Can we get Joe Rogan to interview Bret as Paul Schrader?
Keith V Whalen
2024-05-23 13:17:59 +0000 UTCThe layout of the cover for this episode is hella satisfying
Alex Bielovich
2024-05-23 05:05:19 +0000 UTCGreat episode. BEE's kryptonite=chicken tenders 😂 I agree with Bret, I don't want to have to smell some randos trans fat laden movie theater-grade tenders while I'm trying to lose myself in the cinematic experience. I miss the old days where the closest item to real food at theaters were those disgusting rotisserie hot dogs with the black specs in them (probably hoof or butthole). The exact same thing happens to me when I go to the theater, no matter where I sit: loud, annoying, disgusting people post up right next to me and cough, scratch, fidget, kick, and emit odors. Fuck reserve seating, IMAX needs to offer the BOY IN THE PLASTIC BUBBLE experience. It's unfortunate, the theater in the town I live closed last year and I haven't been to a theater in over a year as nothing has compelled me to make the drive to Portland. I am planning to see MEGALOPOLIS in theaters, hopefully IMAX. Adam "MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO'D you..."

2024-05-23 03:51:46 +0000 UTCBret seems unaware that the Sunset 5 exists right near him
Richard Raymond
2024-05-23 00:35:54 +0000 UTCI recently realized that what was considered mid budget in the 80s and 90s (30-50 million) would be closer to 100 million now when you factor in inflation. The problem isn't big budgets so much as a lack of people going to the movies to support them. It saddens me to no end that our culture has decided to allow the greatest art form to die on the vine.
Richard Raymond
2024-05-23 00:27:05 +0000 UTCHow many have a list of movies but devolve to Vanderpump Rules ? I for one have succumbed ? Perhaps it’s just a need to completely tune out into the void ?
David Hardin
2024-05-22 22:04:05 +0000 UTCYou’ll miss him when he’s gone
David Hardin
2024-05-22 22:01:57 +0000 UTCYes! I find BEE’s tangents just as entertaining as his movie/book commentary. Lamenting spending $24.95 for Dune, wondering why the kid with the backpack sat next to him…
Brian Kenna
2024-05-22 20:46:42 +0000 UTCNot that Travis, I will be watching Hundreds of 🦫 🦫 🦫 🦫 🦫 🦫 🦫

2024-05-22 19:04:50 +0000 UTCBret’s bang on about Dune: Part 2
Paul Richardson
2024-05-22 18:46:02 +0000 UTCAlso “the end of publishing” “advice for a screenwriter 🥺”
maddie
2024-05-22 17:47:16 +0000 UTCI’m not paying $20 so can the platinum friends ask better questions please ….. the monologues on the end of cinema are becoming so redundant
maddie
2024-05-22 17:46:18 +0000 UTCAlso, props to BEE for his Schrader impression.

2024-05-22 16:23:07 +0000 UTCam going to listen on my run. will say more later, after my run.

PETER GREER
2024-05-22 14:49:36 +0000 UTCMagic Mountain is well worth it. Felt that way about Lolita but glad I stuck with it. Both cast a spell. And thank you for The Amps tip!
Thomas Edwards
2024-05-22 09:59:02 +0000 UTCAlso Albini may have been a pedo. Which I did not know til after he died.
John Q. Thompson
2024-05-21 21:51:31 +0000 UTCI gotta go read that Paul Schrader Variety interview now. He's hilarious. "Affliction" and "Touch" just got blu-ray releases recently so I picked them up and they're great, especially "Affliction." Really hope Bret can get him back on here to promote "Oh, Canada."
John Q. Thompson
2024-05-21 21:32:05 +0000 UTCI think he is reading the comments. Apologizing for saying “I’m old”
Keith campbell
2024-05-21 18:04:19 +0000 UTCthe perfect thing to listen to on a charter flight to Saudi Arabia
