“Go for it” might be the best mic drop this podcast has ever had. Such a great episode. Can’t wait to read the book!

2024-01-02 23:28:14 +0000 UTCGlad we have Sam documenting these film artists while they (and those who knew them) are still alive. His books are great, and these chats are a great accompaniments to the books. Thanks Bret and Sam!

2023-12-29 16:55:36 +0000 UTCGreat episode. Terrible movie to watch. Numerous versions dont save it. The story about how it got made is more interesting. The moral of the story is make money outside of the movie business.

2023-12-28 23:25:15 +0000 UTCExcellent, this type of show is exactly why I listen to Bret. Intelligent and entertaining!

2023-12-28 21:09:18 +0000 UTCGreat episodes. One of Coppola’s later films that I think deserves more praise than it has received is TETRO. Have you seen TETRO Bret? Great cast, a simple story about family, dark family secrets, and how fame affects family. Gallo is excellent. Is it APOCALYPSE NOW? No but it certainly deserves mention IMO.

2023-12-28 07:14:26 +0000 UTCAs a movie nerd, I enjoy these podcast episodes a lot. Years after Spielberg, I, too went CSULB as a Film student. Unlike Spielberg, I didn’t drop out — but I also didn’t become a famous director (though I do work in “The Industry”). Also, FFC’s brother August (father of Nic Cage) was a Prof. at CSULB, but not in the Film Dept.
