Just 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!

It's too bad about Ezra Miller's career. Sounds like it's gone, in a flash.

Last Summer (1969) is going to be shown on TCM on July 23, rated R.

Bryan

Just a heads up that LAST SUMMER is available on The Pirate Bay. It's being seeded, just downloaded it.

Love 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?

Dugan

my bad what was the name of the elizabeth taylor movie?

Richard Raymond

Bret, Rotten Tomatoes has been useless for years. Metacritic is the only game in town.

Jorge Espinha

It was superb. Thank you Bret. Thank you Adam.

Richard

God I love these so much

Also 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

Glad 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.

Adding “affluent” / “effluent” to my Facebook post about weird Bret pronunciations

Absolutely agree on the BLACK CHRISTMAS love. Aging like a fine wine.

Hearing 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.

Last Summer can be found, in English, on the Russian social media odnoklassniki.ru

Good 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.

Andrew Martin

Can anyone provide a link to the recent screening of Last Summer on TCM?

I 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.
