Bret considers filling in some Felini gaps, wrestles with his complicated feelings for P.J. Soles and faces the futility of trying to read an aural experience as he fields questions from Platinum members on the air.

Thanks for taking my questions, fellas. Born Liar is on the Criterion channel right now. Casanova is still hard to find, and not streaming anywhere. Later Fellini is overlooked and under praised. Thanks for entertaining my suggestion. Enjoyable episode!

Steve

Almost Famous. Surprised Bret didn't mention or seem to recall this one.

Patrick

Vanderpump Rolls. Adam! 😂

I was practically yelling "Almost Famous" at the screen. I'm surprised Adam didn't think of it either. Plus, it was written and directed by someone who actually lived it!

Billy Schafer

Less Than Zero opens with a lyric from "Stairway to Heaven" as an epigraph.

Me too! Hey Bret, you are 60 not Joe Biden. Enough with the one foot in grave bit. You have another 20-30 years in you.

Harold B

Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to realize Adam has rock DJ voice what’s wrong with me ?

Normaling

I love that adam immediately went to OJ

Re: the world of the music industry and the other aspects of 70s 80s hollywood , like Shampoo… Welcome to LA by Alan Rudolph. And 10 by Blake Edwards. Not exactly rock and roll but super close to what Bret is liking about Shampoo. Altman’s Nashville too

I know people don’t like it and call it “Altman light,” but I really like Welcome to LA.

LM

The ‘70s Star Is Born probably captures an aspect of the music scene that Daisy Jones could have been hinting at.

N.M. Janice.

I know that everyone keeps bringing up Almost Famous, but isn’t it kinda cheesy? I have not seen it in years, but I remember it being very light on the kind of gritty 70’s realism that Bret is talking about.

Steven Hamilton

The only music film that works is 'The Great Rock 'n Roll Swindle'

Chris N

24 Hour Party People

Does anyone possibly keep a reading list for this podcast. Bret keeps mentioning good books and I keep forgetting to note them down. I remember him mentioning a Fitzgerald biography that I want to read. But which one is it?

Collin Myers

agree it has not aged well at all. a lot of great actors--good cast--but it's very clean and sentimental and kinda boring

Mitchell

I always love listening to Bret and Adam!

I’m getting concerned about his melancholy. He sounds better in this episode but I hope he bounces back more. For his sake, I love his episodes regardless. Getting older is hard, I have no doubt turning 60 plays a part along with the stress over Todd, but it also seemed to correlate with his starting gummies. There’s a lot of research on thc causing depression. He also mentioned a while back that he was having a foot issue and his trainer thinks it’s caused by his shoes. As someone in healthcare, stress fractures and ankle instability become more of a risk with age, this would cause someone to be less active, also adding to depression.

Not sure on the Fitzgerald but I have started taking notes on the episodes to get the book titles. I’ll try to post once I have them.

It's so contrived. You can see every plot point coming a mile away. I've never understood the love for this hokey film, though Kate Hudson is luminous thru and despite her lame dialogue

Von Wintermarck

It's not perfect, but Oliver Stone's The Doors is worth a watch. A high-gloss, big-budget, operatic spectacle of 1960's excess. Sometimes camp, often funny, always exhilarating, with a great lead performance that goes beyond impersonation and becomes uncanny. I seem to remember people laughing at it when it was released, but I watched it for the first time during lockdown and was hugely entertained. Bombastic boomer pop-mythology on a grand scale.

Darren Ankenman

At one point he was talking about how great Sudden Rain by Maritta Wolff is…. So I got it. It’s an amazing LA in the 70s book. The Crack Up by Fitzgerald he’s mentioned a few times. And that’s an autobiography of sorts. He’s mentioned Ladies Man as his fav of Richard Price books and that is excellent. He loved Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates no list that I’ve seen but those from memory

Phoenix

ALMOST FAMOUS.

Seneca Garcia

I can hear Bret getting over his depression pontificating with his inexhaustible film knowledge

Chris Hough

Apologies if this has already been mentioned but maybe Bret should get a dog. Like a proper dog. Not like Shingy in the Shards. I reckon that would really sort him out of his current funk.

Nikki Ferrari

The little drummer girl was only streaming for pay for years, but now it’s free on Amazon prime! I’m so excited I’ve been dying to see this

Sodaheiress

I wonder if Bret has seen the show Seal Team on Paramount. It’s so good. I binged the first 6 seasons, season 7 is about to drop. Acting, directing, writing, it’s great. David Boreanaz stars and also produces it. It’s in no way a show I would have expected to enjoy.

Sodaheiress

Adam is hilarious and plays off Bret so well.

J Hay

“In Thru the Out Door” is the only Led Zep LP I bought. I preferred it to any other album of theirs.

J Hay

“Rock ‘n’ Roll High School”was a Roger Corman production, but he didn’t direct it… and PJ Soles was very attractive:)
