Bo Derek acted the pants off that whale.

2024-05-11 20:50:58 +0000 UTCThese young men in film seem blasé. Where’s the passion?
Virginia Gonzales
2024-05-06 17:48:52 +0000 UTCThe young directors have nothing to say to me?
Steven Hamilton
2024-05-04 20:29:03 +0000 UTCYou can get most of them on import blu rays but ya need the multi region playa.

2024-05-04 06:56:03 +0000 UTCI absolutely hated The Outwaters. Total wasted effort. Maybe everyone had fun and learned something, like a field trip.

2024-05-02 15:06:55 +0000 UTCI have a special place in my heart for Wolfen. It was overshadowed by The Howling and An American Werewolf in London which both came out the same year. Wolfen's environmental message gets a little preachy, but overall it's a creepy and atmospheric movie. Very gory, too! It also shows a NYC that doesn't exist anymore. The burned out tenements in the South Bronx were the perfect eerie setting for an urban horror film.
Billy Schafer
2024-05-02 03:46:17 +0000 UTCHe has like over 50 movies and a lot aren't even on blu ray or are expensive out of print. I have maybe just under 20 and a lot on dvd. Wish they did a better job of releasing those but like Woody says in his book once he finishes with a movie he's done with it and on to the next.

2024-05-01 18:48:59 +0000 UTCWas very ok.
Erick
2024-05-01 16:10:16 +0000 UTCI do tho. Although they’re mostly blu rays now.
RJ
2024-05-01 15:51:48 +0000 UTCI own every Woody Allen film on Blu-ray - except for the handful that aren’t available in that format, which I own on DVD.
Paul Richardson
2024-05-01 08:53:36 +0000 UTCNo one owns every single Woody Allen movie on dvd. Calling him out on that one. And Midsommar was just a bad rip off of Wicker Man. But I enjoyed the second half film talk more than first half.
Alexander Quattlander

2024-04-29 17:53:58 +0000 UTCNice interview. Kid’s got good taste. I didn’t love THE OUTWATERS, but I’m interested in whatever he does next.
Graig Gilkeson
2024-04-29 00:20:18 +0000 UTCIt’s good, except for the lighting. Too flat and bright for the interior scenes. (I’m referring to the original movie)
J Hay
2024-04-28 02:45:18 +0000 UTCThink about it on your run
M. Nero Nava
2024-04-27 23:39:48 +0000 UTCI found this ep super interesting. Maybe because I’ve been working on micro budget movies for the past 15 years, or maybe because I love when BEE talks creative processes, film, and film production with filmmakers. It feels like BEE in his purist state. Also, when BEE is attracted to an actor or recalls a moment of titillation—he lowers his voice and slow his speech pattern. It cracks me up.

2024-04-27 23:13:08 +0000 UTCSold !
Lionel
2024-04-27 15:00:36 +0000 UTCIt’s true, Wolfen is great up until the ending. Also glad to see some love for Another Woman, Woody Allen’s most underrated film IMO.
Paul Richardson
2024-04-27 12:04:44 +0000 UTCI would say so.
Paul Richardson
2024-04-27 12:02:29 +0000 UTCThought this was a great! Added The Outwaters to the watch list. Can’t wait.
Nick B
2024-04-26 17:45:22 +0000 UTCTodd is so much cooler than Bret though. Get Todd out of the mental hospital, kick Bret off this shit podcast, and let Todd take over. P.S. Bret is pretending to like The Outwaters.

2024-04-26 17:20:54 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed this but I’m a movie brat. While I didn’t enjoy The Outwaters on the first viewing I think the mistake I made was that I watched it on my laptop. I will be rewatching on my TV as it’s currently on Tubi. I don’t really get the hatred this dude is getting because he speaks in a monotone, flat way. He’s a filmmaker not a fucking podcaster. We need to adjust our expectations. Anyone who goes on a podcast and praises Jaws 2 is worth listening to. I don’t really know what people expect from Bret anymore but to maintain a podcast and keep it to this level is very difficult. Also… fuck everyone in this chat who suggested Bret is pretending to like The Outwaters. You’re not genuine supporters and you can get fucked. You know where the door is.

2024-04-26 03:41:44 +0000 UTCI remember The Wiz fondly (Nobody Beats the Wiz!). Electronics, music, movies. I don't think their stores branched out beyond the Northeast. Very big in the Tri-state area. It was referenced prominently in a Seinfeld episode. I'm pretty sure Tower came to New York before the '90s though. There was a Tower on Central Avenue in Yonkers, NY, near where I grew up. Movies downstairs, music upstairs. Pearl Jam signed autographs there in 1991; video exists on YouTube. I'm certain it was there at least since the '80s, but maybe I'm wrong and only remember it that way. Tower Yonkers closed in '03. It's a Toyota dealership now.😒

2024-04-26 01:49:20 +0000 UTCLove everything Woody Allen! Inspiring episode! Haters should be taking notes!

2024-04-25 22:12:45 +0000 UTCIt’s shit, it’s pure garbage! It’s terrible. I love Bret but fell a bit sad for him praising this drivel! Jesus. 1/10 sorry!

2024-04-25 22:10:59 +0000 UTCIt’s good , watching it now!

2024-04-25 22:08:15 +0000 UTCI hope BEE gives us a review of Love Lies Bleeding. Best new movie I’ve seen since 2019
Jack
2024-04-25 21:45:41 +0000 UTCPersonally, Bret’s been letting us know for weeks now that Todd is going to be locked up for many many years and I’m super excited to hear Bret get his flirt on
Nikki Ferrari
2024-04-25 21:43:55 +0000 UTC😆 why do you think most of his fans are on the spectrum?
Nikki Ferrari
2024-04-25 21:43:18 +0000 UTCGreat episode…thank you …
PETER GREER
2024-04-25 21:37:39 +0000 UTCI liked The Outwaters slightly more than Skinamarink. I found the latter interminable. I liked the aesthetic idea of the film, but the filmmaker completely failed to pull it off. Felt like a 100 minute amateur YouTube video. I like art films and slow cinema, but static shots of walls and hallways just don’t do it for me.

2024-04-25 21:17:18 +0000 UTCIs Candyman worth a re watch ? I can’t remember much from it ….
Lionel
2024-04-25 20:59:40 +0000 UTCI love Interiors too. Interview got better as it went on.

2024-04-25 19:31:47 +0000 UTCThe Good the Bad and the Ugly!
N.M. Janice.
2024-04-25 19:17:58 +0000 UTCSeems like a very interesting young man. He appears to have unequivocally decided what he’s going to do, gone about achieving it and intends to keep doing it by whatever means, even if that means working in a restaurant (which actually sounds like a good laugh). Fair play to him. X
James__
2024-04-25 18:47:44 +0000 UTCIf the podcast was free I would argue we as fans should be cool and pretend like we liked the movie too but it's not free and likely most of his fans are on the spectrum. That being said, as a straight male I will never in a million years get to lighly tease a girl over liking Jaws 2 and for that the podcast episode was worth it
Steven Kain
2024-04-25 16:01:26 +0000 UTCHa! Same. I don’t buy it either!
R. M.
2024-04-25 15:22:56 +0000 UTCLOL totally. This was weird
maddie
2024-04-25 14:25:49 +0000 UTCBret is really in IRS mode for this one. "What was the exact income level of your parents? How did you afford to go to school in NYC and how much were your loan payments and what is the interest? What was your exact salary at Greenpeace and how did you afford to live in Los Angeles while working there?"
Happyhead
2024-04-25 14:08:50 +0000 UTCPlease go all the way, Ashley
Happyhead
2024-04-25 14:06:56 +0000 UTCI only made it 25 minutes in…is it worth going all the way?
Ashley
2024-04-25 13:42:39 +0000 UTCHe's chill. He speaks French. He makes movies. He's got a ton of cool obscure movie knowledge. I'd rather that than someone who's more animated but vapid. Also, anyone who lists Interiors as their favourite Allen movie is good in my book.
Denisovich
2024-04-25 08:44:59 +0000 UTCI've listened to this podcast long enough where I don't believe BEE actually liked Outerwater. I think he had the director on his podcast because they hooked up or he wants to hook up with him. I was still dumb enough to watch the movie. The Jaws 2 conversation shoulda gave it away
Steven Kain
2024-04-25 04:21:38 +0000 UTCThis sounded like BEE interviewing for a P.A.

David Hardin
2024-04-24 16:33:15 +0000 UTCGotta say The Outwaters is in a list of the top 10 worst movies I’ve ever seen. Easily worst of this decade
Jonathan Anoj
2024-04-24 16:30:21 +0000 UTCdude sounds like he doesn’t want to be there at all.

2024-04-23 22:04:24 +0000 UTCInteresting he seems to prefer big budget Hollywood flicks even though his approach to filmmaking is so hardcore indie. Will definitely check his new film out

2024-04-23 14:55:58 +0000 UTCThe Outwaters and Skinamarink were two of the worst films I saw last year. However, I will give everything a second chance

2024-04-23 14:29:11 +0000 UTCI'm delighted Banfitch finds Mallick's The New World to be a perfect film. I thought I was alone.
