His “Chinatown” book is one of the best non fiction works I’ve ever read.

Josechu Carreras

Really? Hahahhaha! The BBE ... but Sam Wasson podcast... I don't get it. I pay for Bret not for Sam Wasson who I liked.. read the Chinatown book... but hey ! Why???? It's a scam. Not the BBE podcast this week... th

Thomas Edwards

Brett wanders an LA party and stumbles upon an amusing Hollywood tableu, replete with more name dropping than a soggy phone book and a lady who speaks like Trump. That's (surreal) entertainment!

Poetical Gore

Dude, how did she Colleen Camp go from Clue babe to looking like Bruce Villanch from the Simpsons??? the horror

John Pineda

Somebody please come get their drunk grandma

Ashley

I like Sam. And his old man voice even though he’s only 42? lol and I recognize Colleen’s voice from seeing Palo Alto, which she has a small part but she’s very funny in it.

Stuart Chivers

I loved The Big Goodbye and will likely buy Sam’s forthcoming Coppola book. I couldn’t get through five minutes of this though. He sounds like he’s either on entirely the wrong medication or far too high a dose.

Patrick

Total bullshit Todd didn’t guest host.

Poetical Gore

Next time Todd should host. He is funny. I tapped out in under 10 minutes of this EP.

richard owain roberts

am going to listen on my run. will say more later, after my run.

Joaquin Chavez

i love her she is a national treasure

R. M.

Bret please consider pre-recording episodes before you go away rather than a guest host. As it is some of us are not really interested in the majority of the guests and the idea of paying for guest on guest BS is not desirable. Maybe pre-tape some Q&A’s. And if you must, the only acceptable guest hosts: Adam, Todd.

Nick Not Nolte

Ohhh would rather wait two weeks than another guest host. Sheesh. take the week off next time 🤣

Justin

Skipping this one.

edwin

I don’t pay measly sheckles every month to listen to some rat fuk talk to an actress I’ve never heard of. I divest my previous keesh to let Bret’s godvoice sonorously rape my ear canals.

Flounge

Where in Europe is Bret, I couldn't find anything. Is it just a media thing or is he doing public readings as well?

Tommy Stronach

Get Alex Kazemi to be a guest host next time just so the comments will be fun.

Harold B

Of course, it's Brett's pod, but I agree this feels wrong. I guess it's hard for Brett just to do an evergreen recording, given that he doesn't want to do film reviews anymore. And tbf a guest host is better than another Timewarp podcast, so perhaps there's no good solution for when brett is busy.

Andrew Hearne

There really are some rude unpleasant comments here. An ignorant sense of entitlement. I guess that’s a lot of modern online discourse for you. I wonder in 50 years time will we look back and be embarrassed and ashamed by our behaviour in the cyberspace.

Jim Seem

Glamorama vibes

Erick

Couldn't get past first five minutes. Not my jam but Bret will be back so whatever

Oleg

It seems that bret had some publicity lately because I cannot understand why there are so many new morons in the comments.

Billy Schafer

That's not even Colleen Camp in the thumbnail. It's her co-star Cynthia Wood, Playboy Playmate of February 1973.

Alex Dermer

He’s not bad, I guess, but I care not for him in just under an hour.

Dustin

An episode about parties Bret would never attend.

Paul Richardson

Did you hear the one about Sharon Stone and the bishops?

Poetical Gore

about 12 years ago I saw her names in the credits of a signed, sealed, and delivered movie and had to go through the whole thing again to see who she was.....

Mike

Angela Burnbaum

Seneca Garcia

Bret on a book tour - and the podcast turns into Robert Altman’s The Player - Cheers from Houston - fabulous & good people

N.M. Janice.

Unfortunately, in 50 years, we will probably all be living like the humans in WALL-E.

Mentat Matt

Omg it was so bad I was driven to find a comments section that I didn’t know existed.

Robin Hunter

I'm glad we got to hear from here. Grest character actress over the years. Would of liked more acting stuff then her party stuff. But interesting that she is a great promoter. Never knew that part of her life.

Jim Weaver

Sam, “Slow down, you move too fast, got to make the podcast last” (with thanks to Paul Simon) A somewhat interesting, but overall exhausting hour.

Artemis Fedorchuk

Heartily awaiting Bret’s review of the Five Night’s At Freddy’s movie.

clay

So good! Would love to hear Bret converse with Colleen.

Knokkel knokkel

I proclaim that LA is the most important place on Earth. The magnetism that draws the most talented people from all over America, even foreign lands, to come to Los Angeles and express their creativity and in return make millions of dollars acting , writing, hosting and just being famous. Drop $300K on a party, no problem! A $ 14892 lunch at The Ivy, the production company covers it, an all nighter at Dan Tana`s is covered by the studio. Famous people everywhere. Wealth beyond imaginations. $ 50M villa on Doheny, private planes and private yachts. Just by living in LA you will become wealthy from your creativity.

GC

That was some campy fun, well done!

Tom Syverson

LMAO this is fucking unlistenable. I'm not even mad or annoyed, it's hilarious how bad it is. They sound absolutely drunk and not in a good way. I made it 7 minutes.

Dancing

This was trash. Who are these airheads? The sycophantic dude was almost as insufferable as the Inside Hollywood old broad. So fucking amateur with zero introduction or context given. Waste of money.

R. M.

Verbal felation meets verbal diarrhea. Atrocious.

hollywoodending

Love Sam and Colleen, inspiring episode!

Peter Guzzo

I say this with love, but that was brutal. Next time Bret is gone, have Adam host the show.

Dan Palmer

Adam should cut together a ‘What Do You Think of The Eagles?’ compilation and keep it on ice for a future Brett-less emergency.

KCDC

Hey Adam, could you even see the studio floor with all the name Colleen dropped?

Collin Myers

not going to listen on my run, will not say more later, after my run

Collin Myers

love bret and adam and sam but this was awful

Eric Macom

Bailed after :10 mins. I never learned what it is exactly she does, and I’m ok not knowing

Ronnie

Yeah, sorry, but I also bailed after 10 minutes

Ronnie

Money back please

Elizabeth

I love Sam and Colleen was just as expected…I love a good rambling conversation

Neil G.

pseudo intellectual, pathetic, kiss ass POS who thinks Don Siegel is low-class simply cause he makes genre films cause even though he's Gen Y, he gives into the most moronic, classical pseudo intellectualism without even questioning it...not to mention, Bret kinda does too...anyway, Wasson, seriously, fuck yourself...and Bret, seriously, come on, now 😂😂

Keith campbell

Wow, that was gruelling ! Insight into the journalist / historian’s craft though … find a maniac, let them ramble maniacally with the occasional interruption with a flattering comment and see what you learn

JEREMY ROBERTS

Fucking dreadful. Just because people work in Hollywood does not mean they are interesting. FUCK NO. FUCK OFF!

Duncan Birmingham

I love Sam's books (although hated his take on Tar) and love Colleen Camp but this was, um, not great. I was curious to know how she went from actress to producer but there was just no context given. I was also totally confused by how her PR work and producing work go hand in hand. And no Death Game stories!?

Josh Groves

At first I thought this was a parody of two self-infatuated, Hollywood-types talking to one another, so I thought it was funny and well performed. Then I realized that this is actually how these two friends talk to one another. Name-dropping. Inane stories that go nowhere. Every other sentence is a humble-brag. Is this sort of conversation typical for long-time Hollywood-types, or are these two just in a special class of their own?

Daniel

good lord

chad mulchin

Nice episode. Not my favourite but certainly intriguing.

Caleb Snyder

This women is a diamond. She works for love.

Caleb Snyder

Meaning she hasn’t worked a day in her life.
