God I love this. It has made Ellis into probably my favorite pop culture figure on Earth. The awkwardness and hostility of the Carrie Brownstein/Fred Armisen episode, the epic 20-minute monologue at the end of the Ira Sachs episode, the all-around badassery of the Rob Zombie episode...I eagerly await this every week.

Anyone else listening?

Fuck that. It deserves its own thread.

If Radiolab doesn't get its own thread, this shouldn't either.

So, you're this Chud guy, right?

You call him Doctor Jones!

Thanks for this...im always forgetting this podcast. And yes, its fucking awesome....I need to listen to that Portlandia one!! He was getting angry with them?

Other way around, actually! Carrie got standoffish because Bret's opening monologue was primarily about gender, and Fred was just being, frankly, a stupid asshole. He acted as though the concepts of criticism or negativity were completely foreign and unacceptable to him. It was so awkward (and great). I was on Bret's side the whole time.

Ill download this right now....

I love his voice..i imagine he talked the same in Lunar Park.

Sounds like something I need to check out.

BEE is an odd duck. He kinda bugs me. But I'd give this a listen, if I ever start listening to podcasts.

He's a weirdo. I met him once and it was like a Seth MacFarlane skit about what meeting Bret Easton Ellis would be like.

he is very very good at most of the interviews...

I want a new book from him.

I've only read his American Psycho. I didn't love it. I thought the film was brilliant, though.

Yeah? That the best one?

American Psycho is my favorite book, period.

Come on, spill the details. You can't just leave me hanging like that.
