Oh god more fencing sitting nonsense. There is no left and right. There are a bunch of people who want to be left the fvk alone and there are people attacking those same people. It's really that fvkn simple. Wake up stop playing to the gallery

2024-04-24 16:26:08 +0000 UTCRipley casting (the Ripley casting aside) was fantastic. The way it was shot was beautiful. I hardly cared about the story - just watching those interesting faces and cinematography was enough for me and I usually do not condone black and white format.

J Hay
2024-04-22 06:59:09 +0000 UTCAs a native of LA County who now lives in BEE’s general area (based on his references to Doheny & the Sunset Strip), my experience is that it is very expensive to live here, with horrific traffic, often annoyingly sun-blazed weather, and too many “wannabe’s” who make mediocre wages as gig economy service staff. Lots of homeless people, too. It wasn’t like this a few decades ago.
J Hay
2024-04-22 06:45:31 +0000 UTCI mentioned this before, but I saw Steve Martin at a big amphitheater in LA, during his stand-up era. The Blues Brothers opened for him. It was somewhat silly, but well done.

2024-04-21 02:23:36 +0000 UTCGood podcast, Shane is an interesting guy. Wish we could’ve escaped Adam‘s “piece of shit” comments, they’ve become so redundant when he doesn’t like something. Given his age, he really needs to work on his way with words.
Jim Weaver
2024-04-20 16:42:27 +0000 UTCThe internet might be an instant karma machine…I don’t think anyone can expect Bret to parse out the online squabbles of two grown men, regardless of one being an invited guest. I’m sure some of us wish Bret was our daddy, but c’mon lol
Ashley
2024-04-20 15:49:47 +0000 UTCI know Bret doesn’t read the comments but perhaps Adam or someone close to him does. In the podcast Bret said he would wanted a book about Lynch’s Dune. This title launched Sept 23 https://www.amazon.com/Masterpiece-Disarray-David-Lynchs-History/dp/1948221292/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2FHHCTTSPSHLX&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.FYwhodvrsLMkduzFkOnU4xSt_KA1jrWyS3VzJS-ipnHxG3Ce3QZ8jWdv_K89ozc5njtR6DJxoQi4OvbCj9ZOfZTLgYnQPv_za-avnterkQI1By6FdocDtqLLBkhNd6gzfYILVWBhWDPuGSBkhT--O5AiKzoy2imHGbj615JeM3Tn4R23K-Mm6yCwXQismzFundar9YflPo80c_lfcTIcemunj_ySYgOUc71oeetwwRo.1twHy-_UdvEUev2YzOBN-M3DW_-mJ_GOO0c5JrkTH6M&dib_tag=se&keywords=a+masterpiece+in+disarray+david+lynch%27s+dune&qid=1713622503&sprefix=Dune+a+master%2Caps%2C243&sr=8-1 Dune a masterpiece in disarray. A deep dive by the writer Max Evry into the making of the movie, and an oral history by everyone he could track down that was involved. Lynch won’t comment on the movie, but this book is the closest to its making. The first edition is also a really nice object in and of itself.

2024-04-20 14:20:11 +0000 UTCTraditionally, people who follow arts, culture, and media tend to have a more liberal sensibility. It was cool for us to goof on conservatives in the past because they were considered jacket-and-tie squares who, like, just couldn’t get with the times, man. I suspect this is the attitude a lot of Bret’s readers and listeners have. Whenever Bret’s guests express a conservative or libertarian view the comments are flooded with people saying, “Bret’s going all Fox News again!” Personally, I believe Fox News is just controlled opposition. Nonetheless, conservatives are the dissenting voices today, and I think people who used to mock conservatives, whether liberal or apolitical, are finding themselves drifting closer to their orbit as the progressive movement keeps shifting the goal post whenever it suits their cause. Liberals taught us you can’t have a free society without flexibility, but conservatives remind us you can’t have flexibility without restraint. Bret’s conversations with Shane Cashman transcend party politics, and for some reason Bret’s fans don’t recognize that. You don’t have to agree with Bret or his guests, but dismissing their dialogue as kookish, right-wing nonsense is glib and unwise. Also, I agree that Bret has no obligation to please anyone with guests that they like, but, supposedly, Shane Cashman doxed one Bret’s Patreon subscribers. I vaguely remember this being brought up in a Q&A. I don’t know the circumstances around the allegation, but if it’s true, then I think it’s in poor taste for Bret to invite him back on. Regardless, I enjoyed Bret’s episodes with Cashman.

2024-04-20 13:39:55 +0000 UTCI'm in love with Andrew Scott. I'll watch him in anything. And if Scoot McNairy is his daddy, he'll yeah... even more hot! But yes, this show is really a great escape and I love how it moves like molasses at points. A few years ago I spent over a month with my husband driving around Sicily & Italy and had lots of down time doing non-tourist roaming. The cinematography does an excellent job capturing the laziness of it all.

Patrick
2024-04-20 03:29:24 +0000 UTCI am not tired of "right-wing edge lords" because I don't consume their content, nor do I over exaggerate and catastrophize them as some huge evil nefarious force. Nothing Cashman said came off as remotely "edgelord" to me, so it just feels like your using one of those tacky nebulous lefty terms to over exaggerate and justify your anger for people who have different opinions or ideas then you. People like yourself seem to have to build people you don't like into some huge evil to justify your irrational reaction to them. At the end of the day your just having an intolerant, immature reaction to things you don't like as an adult. Not a sign of strength, stability, or maturity that's for sure. It's a free country. There's always going to be all sort of people with different ideas, I suggest getting used to it. It's called diversity. American's are always going to hold different ideas, and the ones that can't handle that and be civil and respectful are the problem, not the other way around.
R. M.
2024-04-20 02:16:36 +0000 UTCThis guy calls Covid a government created “genocide”. I’d say that’s irritatingly right wing edge lord. It’s funny these people complain about liberals and people being offended nowadays yet they can’t get over having to wear a mask for three months
OSOS
2024-04-19 21:01:17 +0000 UTCHow are you not tired of these money-chasing right-wing edge lords? It’s 2024, I’d assume we moved on from these types of personalities but apparently we haven’t.
OSOS
2024-04-19 20:57:51 +0000 UTCI think you may be the one in need of help. “Melting down?” That’s just you projecting. If you listened to the interview, Cashman did not call Musk a genius and had a pretty balanced take on him. You are the exact type of brainwashed polarized reactionary individual I described in my comment and are not in any position to be making mental health diagnosis.
R. M.

David Willis
2024-04-19 15:10:23 +0000 UTC"Everyone I don't like is 'inarticulate' or a 'bootlicker." Why do these people listen if they know they don't like the guest? So they can come on here, whine, and virtue signal/announce that they "stepped away" from the patreon? Let me let you in on a secret: No one cares. No one. Not Bret, and not any of the other mature adult patrons. All of you reactionary virtue signaling tribal pearl clutchers are the very people Bret has been talking about for the last half decade, yet you don't seem to realize it. You don't like this guy but couldn't find anything to critique in what he said so you have to attack his delivery, and find an angle to attack and virtue signal about him. Get a life. Calling someone a "bootlicker" is what lazy media-mindcontrolled proxy-slave wackadoos do when they can't form an intelligent argument against someone they don't like or that has different views, so they use a nebulous term like "bootlicker." I hope Bret has more of these types of guests on, not because I find them particularly interesting, but because it proves Bret's point, and it triggers and smokes out the very pearl clutching that Bret has been highlighting and is contrary to everything Bret believes and stands for.

2024-04-19 14:04:09 +0000 UTCI never said his politics are “controversial”. I don’t think he has any politics. I think he’s trying to be subversive, but he’s just a bore. This is the end of line, Stephen. I’m not interested in engaging with weirdos who use terms like “everyone knows” or can only apply their world view to “left” and “right” or Democrat and Trump. I actually forgot about all the incels, and dudes who wished they had gfs, in these threads. Yes, Stephen, I’m going to “go insane”. Haha GTFOH.

Stephen

2024-04-18 15:03:09 +0000 UTCBret has definitely entered his “old man phase”. He needs to shake things up a little. Maybe macro dose ecstasy on a regular basis and engage in some light physical stalking of his enemies.

Oscar
2024-04-17 17:05:38 +0000 UTCNot quite sure what you’re saying. If you want me to be specific about inarticulate: it’s the speech pattern, the space filling words, the regurgitating phrases. It’s all very millenial. Maybe that bothers me. His politics are mostly dumb, and shock jokey hot take nonsense. I don’t take him serious in that department. He’s just a bad guest, I’d argue the only bad guest they’ve ever had. The ep opens with a great monologue so that made it worthwhile
M. Nero Nava
2024-04-17 17:01:39 +0000 UTCIDK he sounds pretty articulate to me. I guess you just don't like his politics or Tim's and are whining about him here.

John Q. Thompson
2024-04-16 17:26:36 +0000 UTCIt’s wild how a guest can be so well read, and seemingly knowledgeable about literature—but in turn present himself in a completely inarticulate and unentertaining fashion. I was impressed by his knowledge of literature. He doesn’t sound like a person who knows how to read. I feel the ripples on my brain flatten when he shares ideas. Also, I just came back to the pod after reeling from this tool’s last appearance (nearly being away from the pod half a year) and here he is again. Hilarious. Perfect timing.
