S8E4: Boyish Enthusiasm
Added 2024-02-06 05:23:51 +0000 UTCBret mysteriously vanishes from a party at the Chateau, reveals the secret to dismantling ideology in art and recalls Emilio Estevez carrying a film for the first time as he responds to questions from Platinum listeners on the air.

Someone needs to redpill Bret about WW2.

2024-03-06 05:33:25 +0000 UTC“Repo Man” is my favorite movie of all time. Not the best, technically, but I love it, and I’ve seen it over half-a -dozen times.

2024-02-13 13:25:09 +0000 UTCI agree, I actually saw Mandy for the first time a few months ago and was blown away by the visuals and colors. And I love the action driven plot with not much dialogue, just this kind of prolonged psychedelic violent rampage! Thanks for the recommendations! I’m embarrassed to say I haven’t even heard of those two films! I’ll definitely check them out
Ashley
2024-02-13 12:58:03 +0000 UTC"Mandy" is really good, I just think it came out in a period where a lot of people had given up on Cage and not enough of the mainstream had been tipped that this one was different and worthy of being seen. If you're looking to have fun with one of Cage's many DTV efforts though see "Grand Isle." It's a bit of throwback to sleazy 90's neo-noir films that I love. Don't get me wrong, it's not great, but it's a fun enough watch. I still haven't seen "Pig", but Bret's dismissal of it has me thinking there isn't much to see there.
John Q. Thompson
2024-02-13 02:27:19 +0000 UTCyou sound really fun Jim.

2024-02-11 04:09:19 +0000 UTCAgreed, I’m a zoomer man and it seems like Gerwig, much like Swift, discovered “eyeliner so sharp it can kill a man” feminism and has recycled it for the masses when anyone who was on tumblr as their primary social media platform pre-2018 was weary of those sentiments years before the pandemic even happened. Even my Gen X mother—who is apolitical and raised me apolitically—found it scoff-worthy and complained to me about how milquetoast and lukewarm the feminist themes were for how much fanfare it’s received in that arena. The car commercial in the middle is the most egregious part but that’s received little acknowledgement because everyone wants to believe the movie has anything to say is so desperately clutching at straws for a text there.

2024-02-11 00:19:42 +0000 UTCArt is about an INDIVIDUAL’s point of view of the world, ideology is about a GROUP’s point of view (and their common interests). The more individual point of view is the more original and interesting the work of art is. Yes or yes?
Adam Marzec
2024-02-10 23:32:18 +0000 UTCReading Barbie as critiquing two ideologies and poking fun at both seems overly generous when the “truth” is that it’s just an incoherent mess that fails to make any strong points whatsoever. If Bret’s understanding was correct, than America Ferrera’s nauseating speech at the end has to be seen as total satire which it very clearly isn’t. Idk if my totally different view has been formed by the fact that I’m a millennial woman who has lived through the tumblr era and lives in the bluest of blue cities where men have been totally emasculated, but Barbie was a complete eye roll for me and my gf’s who excitedly went to watch it.

TheRealAudreyHorne
2024-02-09 06:08:07 +0000 UTCI agree, and I feel that way too a lot of the time, but also, Bret is almost 60. It’s completely understandable that he isn’t living the same lifestyle he did when he was in his 30’s.
N.M. Janice.
2024-02-09 03:26:06 +0000 UTCI don’t think that it’s Bret getting old. I think it’s just there isn’t as much cool shit going on as there was in the 80s and 90s and that’s why nobody is fucking excited about going out/anything anymore. It’s a total buzz kill clown world now compared to the glorious 80’s & 90’s

2024-02-09 03:20:56 +0000 UTCBret, I am an assistant caregiver/budtender: start at 5mg and work up to an amount of THC that works for you. Also consider a 1:1 THC/CBD option. I think Cage was excellent in Adaptation.

2024-02-09 03:16:03 +0000 UTCThat was my question and I agree.

2024-02-08 19:55:31 +0000 UTCFast forward 27 minutes to avoid tedious party philosophy and drug talk . I’m hoping that Bret’s friend’s wife doesn’t listen to this podcast, might not be the best for their friendship.
Jim Weaver
2024-02-08 17:50:54 +0000 UTCBret, I feel the same about weed and I live to drink my wine at night. BUT, try the THC seltzers….they are definitely a game changer for me. They are low dose whereas the average gummy is 10-15mg. I am telling you, it is a great alternative to drinking alcohol. If you want more details send me a note at tarajeansullivan@yahoo.com

2024-02-08 14:16:25 +0000 UTCBret’s monologues have become more and more disturbing, no ? Staying in, not wanting to meet more people, drinking heavily, blaming it on age. Odd codependency

2024-02-08 10:41:20 +0000 UTCIt’s true that Alex Cox’s film career never again reached the heights of Repo Man (although I enjoyed Highway Patrolman), but he’s probably better known in the UK as the presenter of Moviedrome, a late night cult film series on the BBC, in which he spoke about films with such depth, enthusiasm and wit that I think he’s partly responsible for igniting my passion for cinema.

2024-02-07 19:56:32 +0000 UTCBret’s dead wrong about Barbie not having ideology. It heavily pushes a narrative of female victimhood and male fragility. Maybe it shows a “way out” of these two things but it assumes a lot about culture that’s plainly inaccurate, radical feminist propaganda.

Brad Turner
2024-02-07 16:15:44 +0000 UTCHearing about meth orgies is hilarious, just goes to show how different we all are. Every time I've done it my cock shrinks to an incredibly small size and it's difficult to get hard without a Blue Chew. If you can achieve a climax on it, it's the best climax you've ever had. Then again I never smoked it, always chose the needle, but I've been off it for some time. By the way, do not go to weed for weight loss, never heard such a thing in my life. Every time I indulge in weed my weight goes up 5lbs.
John Q. Thompson
2024-02-07 01:08:07 +0000 UTCVery interesting to hear how Bret enjoys the solitary life, because I do as well. Confirms I may not be as weird as I thought. Recently had to give the boot to a girlfriend because I simply cannot share a bed with anyone and cannot have anyone around me 24/7. I need my time to watch films, listen to podcasts, read and listen to music. Plus I enjoy being a bit of playboy and having multiple partners.

2024-02-07 00:54:26 +0000 UTCI knew what Bret’s answer to the philosophy question was gonna be as soon as it was asked.
