The official confirmation of Matt Kelner's fate only deepens Bret's doubt and suspicion in Part 13 of The Shards. Actor/Director/Producer Griffin Dunne and Bret discuss making After Hours with Martin Scorsese, starring alongside Madonna in Who's That Girl and the endlessly complicated relationship between Griffin's father and uncle.

Bret is spellbound by a sudden new glamor radiating from Susan Reynolds and enraged after an encounter with Robert Mallory on the bleachers in Part 12 of The Shards. Writer/Producer/Historian Alison Martino and Bret discuss her dad's unusual route to landing a role in The Godfather, the sad evaporation of mall culture and the current architectural demise of the Sunset Strip.

A torrid weekend of sex does little to distract Bret from his rising fear and paranoia in Part 11 of The Shards. Writer Young Kim and Bret discuss living with Malcolm McLaren, writing A Year on Earth with Mr. Hell and narcissism as a necessary component of success in the arts.

PS. I was interviewed on Iceland National Radio today with York Underwood and I gave some pretty gnarly Shards details. It was scary.

PS I was interviewed on National Icelandic radio today about the Podcast Book Club with York Underwood. It was fucking crazy, I'm going to be honest. I dropped some pretty gnarly Shards details that I think you might want to hear. Or not.
The new Bret Easton Ellis Bookclub produced from Iceland. Each episode will expand on the last and we will eventually be talking about the anthology/collection of Bret's works.
This was a massive undertaking from York Underwood and myself as well as many patrons (including Coldon Martin). It also has appearances from several well known Icelanders and Lili Anolik, a previous guest of the podcast.
If you want to help out with the book club you can contact me at bret.assistant@gmail.com
Otherwise, enjoy.
Todd
You all make this podcast possible. I have met so many of you and you are an excellent group of individuals as well as a group.
Thank you on behalf of Bret and Adam for your devotion to the podcast and your love.
Sincerely,
Todd
P.S. You can email me at bret.assitant@gmail.com I can answer most emails!

Robert Mallory makes a disturbing admission to Bret during a bizarre night out on Melrose in Part 10 of The Shards. Bret spends the final evening of 2020 fielding a wide range of secret questions submitted by listeners.

Normally, I would call posting the price in the title, tacky, but I think this is too good of a shirt price for me to risk you not knowing. Price may go up in the future, but not by a lot. We want as many of you to have access to them if you want them as possible.
I wanted to make sure everyone was aware of the shirts that we have available because there are some really cool ones. Here is an image of all the shirts we have for sale..
And Happy 2021 Bret Easton Ellis Patreon family. You guys are all super important to all of us, and we want to be there for you even more in 2021. The Patreon podcast has developed over the past couple of years, and we're going to keep growing in 2021. When you comment, we read them. All of them. So if there's anything you want to see this year, Livestream QnA, Parties, Watch Parties, please let us know here, the Facebook Group or email bret.assistant@gmail.com. Happy New Year, Fam... as they say. - Todd.
Note: the Bret Easton Ellis logo on the back is now going to be printed much smaller as it was in the original design.

Bret arrives excited for an important lunch meeting but leaves shaken and perplexed in Part 9 of The Shards. Filmmaker Amanda Milius and Bret discuss the unheralded streaming success of her documentary The Plot Against the President, the glaring lack of neutrality in the American news media and rising from eager campaign volunteer all the way to the State Department.
