Good interview. I don't care if you are left, right, or something else. I just want conversations with people willing to discuss civilly. Well done, Ben.
Someone needs to make an satirically "woke" movie so absurd that Hollywood doesn't get the joke, but love it anyway because they think its what they should do. Picture a "Scary Movie" or "Airplane" of woke movies... called simply "Woke Movie".
"Less Than Zero" - was a really influential book in my youth. First, the movie, and then discovering it was a book first. That nugget of learning that this movie was a book first lead me into finding all books that were written and thus turned into movies. I began a "book is better than the movie" purist thinking.

Good to see I'm agreeing with the likes of Ellis on art. If your aim is to spread a political message, it's just not art anymore. It needs to flow naturally, not be forced and concerned with "ticking all the boxes".
Agreed. I'm against this gut-reaction hatred people have for him. All that's doing is giving him cover. If you really think Trump is a bad President, you should be fighting the lies and focusing on nuance, not calling him a White Supremacist and lying about what he says (re: Charlottesville).
People easily object to Puritanism because it is usually associated with a Religion. Much too difficult to get people to object to Puritan Virtue coming from LGBT, BLM, FEMINISM, etc etc etc
Yep. Movies used to have their primary goal as entertainment and now feeling is the tool of movie makers to manipulate the audience to a political narrative instead of entertaining. Movies about only facts are documentaries or educationally instructional videos... kinda boring. So we rarely go anymore.
I appreciate that you invited BEE on the Sunday Show. I enjoy hearing his views while disagreeing with him. Great analysis of Hollywood's reaction to Mr. Trump.
What a great interview with a Hollywood insider. I hope one day Ben will interview Tim Pool on contemporary issues of the day. I believe it would be on par with the Joe Rogan show he was on
I love Brett Easton Ellis. He wrote the first book I read on my own accord, Less than Zero. I don’t think I would have ever been interested in literature if it wasn’t for him. I love the diversity Ben keep it up. Also, his new book White is amazing.
Ellis is in my category of tolerable liberals. Camilla Paglia...who I just love. Joe Lieberman. People I disagree with on policy yet still consider them reasonable or thoughtful people. There aren't many these days...that's for sure.
OMG Ben - I listen and like you but to make a gross generalization about ALL President Trump supporters blindly believe his exaggerations! My respect for you is derived from your ability to not to lump ‘everyone’ into categories.
I loved US, but I thought the articles on it's Wokeness were hilariously stupid and reaching super hard. I also watched it through the frame of The Hero's Journey, and the race aspects were lost on me apparently.
So why dont a conservative movie writer write a movie about a poor black gay couple who are some kind of entrepreneurs that are being oppressed by leftist policies which garner their time and energyandmake a decision to move to a freer part of the country and then they're able to succeed in their entrepreneurialism and they live a good life where no one bugs them about their identities and they dont feelvthe need to throw their identities into everyones face.
I thought black panther was the best marvel movie ive ever watched. I dont think there was anything woke about it at all, its just intrinsic about him. You cant have black panther without, well, him being black. Its crucial to the film and the comics.
Trump is OUR Troller in Chief...and we love his digs at the Left. We have had to take it for so long, that it is fabulous to have our leader hand it back to them. And it is made only sweeter the way the Left reacts. 😂 😎👌 Edit: An since this guy torques the Left...I like him too.👍
This is from last year, before I found this feed. It had info Ben needs to hear. But I've seen a video where Ben acts like an evil dictator, telling these people than Ben and his people can't be stopped. I didn't realize just how evil Israel has become.
The ONLY thing that I like about Shapiro is his stance on Abortion. Other than that he is a smarmy, sniveling elitist neo-con. God save us if he is what passes for a young, principled conservative going forward.
Who's this guy kidding😏 He does care...everytime he spoke with a positive slant toward Republican he had to reassure he's partner he wasn't a Republican...this interview was for book publicity ..👎
Good interview. I don't care if you are left, right, or something else. I just want conversations with people willing to discuss civilly. Well done, Ben.
Impressive, very nice
@@latenightorgandonor let’s see Paul Allen’s willingness to have a civil discussion.

Have s good Sunday everybody!
Good message to start the day.
Please have Victor David Hanson on the Sunday special. Thanks.
Bobby Snider yes!!!
Victor DAVIS Hanson. (Great idea!)
I love the variety of guests coming on the show.
Still waiting for Ben to sit down with Trey Gowdy.
And for Ben to start that conversation by saying "Howdy, Gowdy!"
Thanks for electing President Trump America!!!
Glad for this interview.

For me it was Jurassic park
Oof
The author of American Psycho has become too conservative for the left. WTF’n H?

That's it! I'm anti-anti-Trump. Not necessarily pro-Trump. I like what he's doing, but not how, etc.

American Psycho is still one of my favourite books. Unsettling, but fantastically written. Looking forward to this one.
How's Patrick these days?
An absolutely insightful interview. Kudos!
This book deserves more press. It really isnt too political rather an analysis of his life.
Michelada, tacos, and my favorite Jew. 🍺 🌮 ✡️
supervilla06 - Soooo...heartburn?
Scoot over bro
@Erik Richards I second that motion ✋🏻 Favorites Jews: Jesus Christ and then most of the bible characters and THEN Ben Shapiro. Lol
Good video! Btw, Happy Peruvian Independence Day to all Peruvian listeners!
Felicidades!
So orange skin and strange hair is bad esthetic for Hollywood now?!!! but men wearing huge wigs and dresses is totally fine?
Puritanism is exactly the word I use to describe what’s going on. He hits the nail on the head IMO
People easily object to Puritanism because it is usually associated with a Religion. Much too difficult to get people to object to Puritan Virtue coming from LGBT, BLM, FEMINISM, etc etc etc
This is great, love Bret
Facts don't care about your feelings.

Okay... if that's the way you feel. 😁
@@syntaxusdogmata3333 everyone feels like that and it's fact
@@PolishMechanik Wow, everyone? That's a whole lot of people...
@@syntaxusdogmata3333 wow no shit sherlock
This is what 90% of us want! A reasonable discussion among opposing views to come to reasonable understanding.
I appreciate that you invited BEE on the Sunday Show. I enjoy hearing his views while disagreeing with him. Great analysis of Hollywood's reaction to Mr. Trump.
This is such a great interview. I'm a big fan of Brets work and always love Ben. The context of this video is pretty solid.
"Bring over some drugs" lol, awesome. gotta love that honesty.
I love that David Mamet is a conservative and Bret Easton Ellis is anti-anti-Trump.
Awesome interview!
Great conversation. Thank you Ben and Bret.
What a great interview with a Hollywood insider. I hope one day Ben will interview Tim Pool on contemporary issues of the day. I believe it would be on par with the Joe Rogan show he was on
Good guest Ben. Great writer. I actually really like the trump aesthetic.
Anybody here liked Rocketman? I loved it. I hope it wins the Oscar. Especially Taron.
I'm I got to hear you on The Ben Shapiro Show Bret. It was fun.
Amazing
I wish we could go back to the 90’s where no one gave a shit what color anyone’s skin was
I think he offers a very level-headed assessment.
Imperial bedrooms is fantastic !!
You should get Chuck Norris on here
A worthy addition to the IDW
What an unlikely pair
Impressive very nice lets see paul allens interview with ben
Victim Porn. Thanks for having Bret Easton Ellis on! White has been a great read.
Brett Easton Ellis loves him some Brett Easton Ellis
anyone else notices that there are no ads on the time bar yet ads keep popping up throughout the video....?
American Psycho = Greatest Film of All Time.
I think Ethan Van Sciver would be an interesting Sunday Special
Ist thing I do is check out the Sunday Special.
BEE is honest. Like him.
I love Brett Easton Ellis. He wrote the first book I read on my own accord, Less than Zero. I don’t think I would have ever been interested in literature if it wasn’t for him. I love the diversity Ben keep it up. Also, his new book White is amazing.
Victor David Hanson please.
Wow Ben, this guest is so out of your norm! I appreciate variety but this is a weird choice! Moving on today!
American Psycho was a great book and the 2000 movie adaptation with Christian Bale was awesome!
Indeed. Christian Bale nailed it!
Just 2 SoCal born and bred guys who took wildly different paths to end up in a somewhat similar place politically.
Shapiro really dislikes his inlaws😂...I bet they are actually awesome which is why he teases them daily.
Stumbled across this only and noticed I had been unsubscribed. Anyone else had this happen?
*What are Bret´s favorite movies?*
Awesome! Aesthetic and style will always trump politics!
Bishop Barron please please please
already done

Trump is what Rush Limbaugh would have been had he been a politician.
Great video, Ben. Do a face reveal!!
Am I the only person who never recognizes a single one of the movies that win oscars?
Clearly I'm an uncultured rube, 30 minutes in and I haven't seen any of these movies that are being talked about.
Wooo!
I watched moonlight
I’m still have no idea what it was about
The problem for me is all the social engineering messages in movies and TV. Even if they're not 'woke' movies. I can't take anything seriously.
Ellis is in my category of tolerable liberals. Camilla Paglia...who I just love. Joe Lieberman. People I disagree with on policy yet still consider them reasonable or thoughtful people. There aren't many these days...that's for sure.
Never forget America use to be a super power
without fools there would be no wisdom ...
BEEN NICE BEN BYE1
I’ve never seen Ben Shapiro act so homophobic before.
Bring Candace Owens or Charlie Kirk!
Ben Shapiro. You need to have Gaad Saad as your next guest!!!
Get Dinesh dsouza
someone be a homie what were his 5 favorite movies?
Hollywood makes propaganda
It is a bit eerie that everything that Bret says seems to what I've felt but didn't have the skill to put into words.
Seats are too close together... Awkward.
Wasn't betrayal the greatest sin in Dante's inferno?he has betrayed them maybe that's how they feel because he's part of Hollywood or was

Can we please pkease go back to movies that are made just to entertain? Not sermonize, politisize, not "woke"!!!
Pedophilia is shock comedy? I guess i am old
I love the Sunday special but I’ve always thought that Easton-Ellis is greatly overrated! Less Than Zero was hackneyed trash....
Young man, I love everything about you, except your speech cadence, it's hard for me to follow you, please don't take this the wrong way
You can slow down the video if you find yourself unable to maintain listening to him at his usual pace.
I don't think he is a very nice person as he seems pompous. I don't like that he would not agree to be interviewed by author Eliza Clark. Seems petty.
Gayness

I can't believe Ben Shapiro has the gall to call himself a conservative with interviews like this
