2023-12-18 06:17:30 +0000 UTCI just realized that Even Hunter was actually the pseudonym of Ed McBain’s early fiction! Wow! It all makes sense now. I just read several of his Hunter books and enjoyed them, but I think Come Winter was most thrilling.

2023-07-23 13:44:44 +0000 UTCGood call on 'X.Y and Zee', Bret. Just watched that and it's a wonderful, spiky, grown up film with real savagery in places plus lots of humour.

2023-07-18 11:17:39 +0000 UTCHearing about Bret enjoying XYZ with Elizabeth Taylor made me think about the film Boom! she filmed with Richard Burton that is a camp classic. It would be interesting to hear Bret's thoughts on it. Its biggest champion is John Waters - who also needs to appear on the podcast at some point.

2023-07-17 15:36:05 +0000 UTCGlad that you said this! I always think the same thing. If Bret doesn’t want to leave his house and drive, that’s one thing, but there are definitely many places to see good movies in LA. Both new and repertory. While I agree that things aren’t great, Bret sometimes makes things sound more dour than they are. He acts like there are two cinemas in all of Los Angeles.

2023-07-16 19:03:48 +0000 UTCAlso Adam or Brett: whoever looks at this. Brett talks about lack of art house cinemas in LA. And has listed them but worry he doesn’t know how lively the scene is. Check revivalhubla.com for viewing/to see what’s playing. Lot of stuff. Would be great to hear his takes on going to some of these movies, seeing old favorites in theaters

2023-07-14 01:47:01 +0000 UTCBret, Rotten Tomatoes has been useless for years. Metacritic is the only game in town.

Dugan
2023-07-13 00:00:58 +0000 UTCLove Last Summer. Shot on Fire Island! I saw it a few years ago on a random bootleg streamer like 123movies. The Perrys are underrated. Great episode- when is the discussion on Proust coming?

2023-07-12 22:30:45 +0000 UTCJust a heads up that LAST SUMMER is available on The Pirate Bay. It's being seeded, just downloaded it.

2023-07-12 19:52:20 +0000 UTCIt's too bad about Ezra Miller's career. Sounds like it's gone, in a flash.

2023-07-12 19:46:24 +0000 UTCJust saw the new duplass joint, Biosphere, sci fi dramedy, highly recommend to Bret and the BEE fam, one of the best movies I’ve seen in a bit!
