Brian Abrams is an author of books and long-form journalism who posts the occasional TikTok and, lucky you, resurfaces on a podcast from time to time.
His latest undertaking is Euro Trash Immortals, an independent print publication celebrating the more disreputable corners of European genre cinema. The inaugural issue features Carroll Baker’s Italian escapades, Steven Seagal in Bucharest, hors d’œuvres by Christina Lindberg, and more. Forty pages of cult cinema and whatnot, just flying off the shelves.

His book, You Talkin’ to Me?: The Definitive Guide to Iconic Movie Quotes, is a fascinating and exhaustively reported deep dive into all the essential Hollywood dialogue we know and love, from “Here’s looking at you, kid” and “I’ll have what she’s having” to “Always do the right thing” and “Noooooo! Wiiiiire! HANGERRRRRRRS!”
“A richly entertaining and deeply researched book about the movie lines that live in our collective unconscious, infiltrate our speech, guide our actions, and shape our perceptions.”— Dave Kehr, critic and curatorBuy the book
Wait, there’s more!
Never one to brag, Abrams has also written four best-selling oral histories tackling Late Night with David Letterman, Gawker, Die Hard and the Obama presidency.
