Content

Bret Easton Ellis rides solo and laments one of our last movie stars languishing on an absurdly silly Bullet Train before examining a recent French film adaptation of one of literary fiction's most revered masterworks. Bret also reviews two very different films with similar Italian settings, including an often overlooked farce from 1966 starring Peter Sellers in fine early form.

The movie review episodes might be my favourites. Fantastic insights. Great discoveries.

A while back, someone recommended these books here: <i>Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties</i> by Tom O'Neill <i>Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & the Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream</i> by David McGowan <i>Programmed to Kill: The Politics of Serial Murder</i> by David Mc Gowan I can't find the original post, and fucking Patreon makes it harder by making me log in 200 different ways and verify my fucking desktop. Asshole spys. Anyway, thanks for the recommendation! These books are great! LA is creepy as fuck and I never want to go there.

Can we get a simple link to the podcasts in an email please in the future? It's so difficult to find the podcasts sometimes.

Bret - I just finished Charles Band's memoire Confessions of a Puppet Master. He would be a great interview!

Chaos is amazing. I need to get around to these other two as well as Kobek’s Zodiac books. This podcast is a goldmine for book and film recommendations.

Collin Myers

great recommendations. need to read balzac asap

BEE, inspired me to reread Lost Illusions. Haven’t read it since college. It was *cool* back then, but it does resonate differently as a 40 something. Glad I’m rereading it! Thanks, BEE. I also dig these solo pods, especially when it’s just reviews

Good episode. Can we get David Shields on again soon? I could listen to you guys talk all day

Raúl

I don't get notifications for new episodes (I've already checked my settings) I only know when I log in on Patreon. Am I the only one?

No. I used to get them but they stopped and I'm not sure why

For anyone that gets through (or has already read) Lost Illusions and wants more, check out Harlot High and Low (Splendeurs et misères des courtisanes). It is essentially the 4th section of that story. It is there that the tale of Lucien ends and also where Vautrin has his ultimate victory.

If you use a podcast player, the episodes will just appear for you. I use pocketcasts, but there are many. Since this is paid access, you take the unique link that you received when you first subscribed in an email, and enter it where it asks for an rss feed. Does that make sense? If you don't have that email, I imagine your link can be found on Patreon somewhere or you can ask them for it.

thank you - upon your advice I decided to check my phone - found my Patreon app and easily found the show... I had been trying to do it through the web...

Re Bullet Train - so confident, so wrong - it’s a fun movie, an action romp, very much post-Pulp Fiction, I hope to go see it a second time …
