Speaker 1: It's mister Finn Taylor. I I don't know where you've
Speaker 1: got an actor from. I've seen you do a couple
Speaker 1: of like sort of sketches where you're not entirely yourself,
Speaker 1: unless that was yourself, in which case it was a
Speaker 1: phenomenal performance. Well, I am the only thing I've been.
Speaker 1: I was a I was. I had one line in
Speaker 1: Alicia Vikanda's tomb Raider reboot. Shut up having No. I
Speaker 1: didn't even audition. They just they think they cut a
Speaker 1: scene and then they filmed the whole thing and they
Speaker 1: got to the last week and the like, we need
Speaker 1: that scene actually, and so they just called my agent
Speaker 1: were like, have you got anyone that looks like they
Speaker 1: could live with Lara Croft in East London because that
Speaker 1: was the what the reboot was about. And then yeah,
Speaker 1: I did a scene for a day on a film
Speaker 1: set in Watford and had a trailer and everything and
Speaker 1: was just playing Lara Croft's flatmate one please do your care.
Speaker 1: So she came back from so she was a delivery
Speaker 1: driver in this reboot before she's Laura Croft, and she
Speaker 1: comes in with like a broken bike and she's covering
Speaker 1: green paint and my line was, oh, Lara, what the
Speaker 1: and then she cuts me off right, Oh Lara, what there?
Speaker 1: And then the last take, the last last take of
Speaker 1: the day, the adrector was like, Finn, you're a comedian,
Speaker 1: do something, make it funny, do go in a different
Speaker 1: direction or this whole ship. I wasn't expecting it. So
Speaker 1: she comes in, she's covering green paint, and I'm like, hey, Laura,
Speaker 1: what you've been doing sucking off the hulk? And he's like, cut,
Speaker 1: it's you can't. It's twelve A probably we can't. You
Speaker 1: can't do that, And then but she laughed, so I
Speaker 1: made belit of a candle laugh. But then but then
Speaker 1: obviously the scene was cut. They didn't need it in
Speaker 1: the end, but they sent me a hat saying too
Speaker 1: made the cast and crew, which was the only evidence
Speaker 1: that I was in the film. And then I was
Speaker 1: on a ferry in New Zealand and it just blew
Speaker 1: off my head on into the sea. So my acting
Speaker 1: career has gone with the wind. Do you think if
Speaker 1: you were like, let's say, walking through Leicester Square and
Speaker 1: there was a premiere for a new Atlasive the candid
Speaker 1: film and you sort of went to the sort of shouted, Hey,
Speaker 1: it's me. I said, you were sacking of the home.
Speaker 1: Do you think she She might, but then I might
Speaker 1: get arrested. So it's a It's a fine line, isn't it.
Speaker 1: I don't know me, I don't know. All I will say,
Speaker 1: and I don't mean this to sound creepy, is that
Speaker 1: she smelt absolutely incredible. There is a class of celebrity
Speaker 1: that I don't know where they get their smells from,
Speaker 1: and it's like it really separates them from the rest
Speaker 1: of us picks because I don't know how they smell.
Speaker 1: I don't even know how you describe it. It was angelic.
Speaker 1: Finn Taylor, I haven't seen you in ages. I'm upset
Speaker 1: about that. I'm delighted to see you. Since i've seen you,
Speaker 1: I mean, you've had a baby, You've had a wife,
Speaker 1: and you've had a baby. Yes, I've given birth to
Speaker 1: a wife and then she gave birth to a baby. Congratulations,
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah. I can't remember the last time. I
Speaker 1: was trying to think last time I saw you, But
Speaker 1: my life you've become it must have been. My life
Speaker 1: has become very wholesome and folksy since I last saw you.
Speaker 1: I mean, I was up last night painting my daughter's nursery.
Speaker 1: That's the kind of yees do you love it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's great you became mega famous though in that time
Speaker 1: I don't know when that happened. It's very disconcerting. You were,
Speaker 1: you were painting a nursery, you were in my audience
Speaker 1: in my Edinburgh show. Yeah, and then I turn on
Speaker 1: Twitter and you're You've want to fucking what did you win? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Were insane, absolutely insane. It is the same. But it's
Speaker 1: equally insane to me that you got married and that
Speaker 1: a kid, because anyone who knows me knows that was
Speaker 1: definitely it's definitely it's very off brand. Yeah, it seems
Speaker 1: like a weird, a weird sort of choice, but also
Speaker 1: so happy. It's a weird choice. But then I do
Speaker 1: think you're you're a big old tough guy. Your comedy's
Speaker 1: are big and tough, but deep tail, you're a big
Speaker 1: old you love you just love love Well, it's yeah,
Speaker 1: it's an act. The comedy is an act. It's an event.
Speaker 1: It's a release from the you know, boring, wholesome, every
Speaker 1: day life. Now, all right, let's quickly talk about it.
Speaker 1: But if there's anyone listening to this, it doesn't know
Speaker 1: Finn Taylor's comedy. And if you don't get into it
Speaker 1: because he's fucking brilliant, you are, I suppose even more
Speaker 1: unusual these days. You do how do we do? You
Speaker 1: have a way of describing what you do? And by
Speaker 1: the way, I say this generally for people listening for
Speaker 1: Finn Taylor is one of the great comics. He's fucking amazing.
Speaker 1: Thank you, but you you very fearless. I'd say, yeah,
Speaker 1: gets that gets used a lot my gig. On my
Speaker 1: gig on Saturday, I was like, I was doing one
Speaker 1: of those nights we're doing like four or five spots.
Speaker 1: I was running, so I ran off from stage as
Speaker 1: the audience were coming out, and this guy just I
Speaker 1: walk passed this guy and each went shameless, shameless. And
Speaker 1: I think I've toned it down, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just think that's what stand ups for. It's just
Speaker 1: saying things that you can't get away with anywhere else.
Speaker 1: So to me, it doesn't it. To me, it's not.
Speaker 1: I always get called provocative that that word follows me
Speaker 1: around like a therapy dog. But yeah, it's just you know,
Speaker 1: it's quite spicy, but that's what I find funnily. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree. I also think maybe you're not going to
Speaker 1: let hearing this. I think that no matter what I've
Speaker 1: heard you talk about. You know, I've heard you on
Speaker 1: ComCom PUD for example, and I've heard you say like,
Speaker 1: I don't think comedy. You know, you don't. We as
Speaker 1: audience don't need to know your politics. We don't need
Speaker 1: to know anything your morality, you're you're playing both sides
Speaker 1: or whatever. But I think it's inherently there. I think
Speaker 1: we watch you and we listen to you, and we know,
Speaker 1: no matter what you're saying, you're good. Well. I I
Speaker 1: like to think that I beg but I think audiences
Speaker 1: can smell yeah, and you're like, you know, but Jimmy
Speaker 1: Carter something fascinating. He said, what's the point in mild comedy?
Speaker 1: And I've been thinking about that every day since you
Speaker 1: said that, because I totally agree. People who go up
Speaker 1: and are all tweet and like I was at the
Speaker 1: bus stop and I fucking doing people play fifteen quid?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yeah, I do, But it's
Speaker 1: it's like subconscious intent or something like it's interest. Like
Speaker 1: you could do a joke about a certain thing that
Speaker 1: I would think was brilliant, lovely, and someone else could
Speaker 1: do that same joke and I would think it was horrible,
Speaker 1: because you can feel there in itself is dark and horrible.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? Yeah? Maybe, well that's nice.
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean that that is I guess
Speaker 1: that is my last, isn't it? Sometimes this our this
Speaker 1: inarticulable sense of goodness that I radiate. Yeah, but well,
Speaker 1: thank you for all the kind words. No, I uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's not. It's not for everyone, but then
Speaker 1: the people that like it really like it. And it's
Speaker 1: not very British. I think that's what I'm discovering. It's
Speaker 1: not very British. You're an American comic. Yeah, I'm an
Speaker 1: American comic trapped in a privately educated British male. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah, that's what I do. Quick question, I'm having
Speaker 1: a baby. I think I asked this to most people
Speaker 1: who have babies. I think I know what you're going
Speaker 1: to say because I listened to an episode of this
Speaker 1: podcast before. Am I going to ask you? You're gonna
Speaker 1: ask me if as soon as it came out. I
Speaker 1: felt apparent sense of love. Yeah, it did. Ye. Yeah,
Speaker 1: although it was quite, it was all quite. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a very intense. It's just two months premature. It
Speaker 1: was one of those situations where everyone was going to die.
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to die. I was. I wasn't gonna
Speaker 1: I was. I wasn't with the gun. Say if this
Speaker 1: spector doesn't come out, no, but yeah, my wife they
Speaker 1: had to deliver early because the baby was fine when
Speaker 1: my wife wasn't. It was this old school thing called
Speaker 1: pre eclampsia, where the only curious to get the baby out.
Speaker 1: I don't really they don't really know much about it
Speaker 1: because it's women's medicine and they don't they don't invest
Speaker 1: any signs in that anyway, So it was just a
Speaker 1: fairy it was. It's more just like as soon as
Speaker 1: the baby came out, we didn't get a hold of
Speaker 1: straight away. So but then when everyone was fine, I
Speaker 1: just I did just go in person into seas and
Speaker 1: then when I actually went and held her the first
Speaker 1: time later that day, it was like, I mean she
Speaker 1: was tiny. Yeah, so yeah, I did feel this overpowering
Speaker 1: sense of like, so I guess protect protectiveness. But then
Speaker 1: also as a dad, it does. I think it does.
Speaker 1: You lose that initial like hormone rush, and then you
Speaker 1: have to build it up as they become more, as
Speaker 1: they need you more, because the first three months they
Speaker 1: don't really need you as a dad. Yeah, but now
Speaker 1: now she's like you can see her personality and she's great,
Speaker 1: and it just gets better every day. What it sounds
Speaker 1: like having a baby from by the way, she's all
Speaker 1: healthy and well now right, yeah, yeah, absolutely fine, Yeah good.
Speaker 1: Having a baby sounds like being a new comic in
Speaker 1: that the first gig, big rash, Baby comes out, big
Speaker 1: rash and I love you. Then massive drop off, massive
Speaker 1: drop off for a good few months where like you're like,
Speaker 1: this doesn't really work, it's horrible gigs, and then at
Speaker 1: some point baby laughs at you and you're like, best
Speaker 1: thing I ever did. It's so it does make a
Speaker 1: difference when they start laughing. Yeah, yeah, it's great. You
Speaker 1: should have one. Yeah yeah, all right. Do you Someone
Speaker 1: told me the other day about their daughter saying I
Speaker 1: love mummy more than you just said it out of
Speaker 1: the blue. How would you feel about that sort of feedback?
Speaker 1: She doesn't know what she's on about She's good, right,
Speaker 1: give it. Give it a few years and you'll see,
Speaker 1: you're fucking see, you'll see baby. Um, yeah, well she
Speaker 1: can't talk. She can't talk yet, so I'm not. I'm
Speaker 1: not getting that anyway. Don't worry about that. I've forgotten
Speaker 1: to tell you something in all this, in all this
Speaker 1: catch up, go for it. I've just lit down on
Speaker 1: my notes and there's something here I probably should have
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier. Let me just see if it's yeah, it's
Speaker 1: definitely you. Hold on, finn't Oh, you've died, right, You're dead?
Speaker 1: That all for? That was it? That was good? Though?
Speaker 1: That was good. How did you die? I died defending
Speaker 1: the territorial integrity of Ukraine? Wow? No, I didn't know.
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I tell you what would be
Speaker 1: funny is you know when people get so old that
Speaker 1: there they die. I mean, it's like it's kind of pathetic. Really.
Speaker 1: They just they died because it was winter, right, okay,
Speaker 1: because the season's changed that they couldn't handle it. That's
Speaker 1: how I died, even though I'm thirty one. I die
Speaker 1: because I die because summer turned to autumn. That's quite room.
Speaker 1: It sounds romantic when you put it that way, I
Speaker 1: got hit by a falling leaf and apart. Okay, do
Speaker 1: you do you worry about death a bit? But not?
Speaker 1: You know, I look before I cross the road, right,
Speaker 1: I know I'm going to die, but I don't feel
Speaker 1: uncomfortable about that. I don't want to die soon, but
Speaker 1: I am. I feel quite zain about the fact it's
Speaker 1: going to happen one day. I find it quite refreshing. Actually, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because when when my wife gives me a job and
Speaker 1: I'm finally a difficult I don't want to do it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, it doesn't matter because we're all dust,
Speaker 1: aren't we. Would you like it if I if you
Speaker 1: knew the day you were going to die, If I
Speaker 1: could say, I know when you're gonna die properly, would
Speaker 1: you want to know? I don't think I would. Okay,
Speaker 1: well it's today. So do you What do you think
Speaker 1: happens when you die? Well, I mean you live on
Speaker 1: in the minds of the people that love you. That's
Speaker 1: the only after laughter is, isn't it. I think? Oh, dear, roy, dear,
Speaker 1: oh dear. I was like, oh that's the answer. Oh sorry,
Speaker 1: that's right. Now you go to heaven and talk about films. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's what I'm meant to say. You go
Speaker 1: to heaven. There is a heaven. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: They are checking your pockets at the door. That's not
Speaker 1: happened before. They're like, they're sugging up with this Geezer.
Speaker 1: I've come in, I've said listen, and then he's good.
Speaker 1: He's good. Don't worry about it. You come into heaven.
Speaker 1: Everyone's excited to see you. They're big fat that's that's
Speaker 1: a big psychological red flag there. You you you think
Speaker 1: you are so good that you're letting people through the
Speaker 1: pearly gates. I'm in charge of this fucking place, right Sorry, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I didn't say it was like living there. I work.
Speaker 1: I work for the Geezer. Okay, So I was like,
Speaker 1: come in, You're very welcome. Everyone's excited to see you,
Speaker 1: and they wanted to talk about complex bloody anyway. They
Speaker 1: want to talk about your life. They want to talk
Speaker 1: about your life through the idio of a film. The
Speaker 1: first thing they ask you is, what's the first film
Speaker 1: you remember seeing? Finn Taylor, Well, I think I would
Speaker 1: have a very vivid memory of being in the cinema
Speaker 1: in Glasgow, which is where I lived while I was
Speaker 1: seven with my younger sister, and it was her first film.
Speaker 1: I'd seen the film already, but I can't remember. I've
Speaker 1: been to the to the Jungle Book, but I can't
Speaker 1: remember that well. I remember it's going to see a
Speaker 1: hundred month Darmatians, the live action version, with my dad
Speaker 1: and my sister and I must have been maybe five
Speaker 1: and my sister was maybe two, and the size of
Speaker 1: the live dogs made my sister go mental and we
Speaker 1: had to leave after about ten minutes because she thought
Speaker 1: that she thought we were being attacked by a pack
Speaker 1: of huge hounds. That's my first memory of the cinema.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Your sister was like the person who had
Speaker 1: like the very first time film was made and they
Speaker 1: played a train exactly fuck and ran out of the cinema. Yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah that but with dogs. That's great. Were you furious there? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I was like, get your act together. It's Glenn close. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we've we've we haven't even got past two dalnay since
Speaker 1: we're ten minutes here. Yeah, I remember. I remember. I
Speaker 1: remember being like this is pathetic and I was five,
Speaker 1: that's fine, and my dad was just like trying to
Speaker 1: calm my sister was going absolutely ape shit, and I
Speaker 1: was like, gared a grip. It's just a film, love,
Speaker 1: Is it just the two of you? You and your sister? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Are you? Are you super tight? Yeah? Quite close? She lives.
Speaker 1: She looks quite close to me in London, so quite
Speaker 1: a lot. That's very nice. What's the film that scared
Speaker 1: you the most? Do you like being scared in Taylor?
Speaker 1: Do you get scared? I don't. I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: particularly like horror films. But that's not because I am weak.
Speaker 1: It's because I find once I know the film is
Speaker 1: there to scare me, I don't really. I sort of think, well,
Speaker 1: what's the point in the film. I'm just waiting to
Speaker 1: be scared, and I don't, you know, there's no plot
Speaker 1: or like acting. It's just everything's there to scare me.
Speaker 1: So it's like I see it as quite functional when
Speaker 1: I get bored. Does that make sense? I guess if
Speaker 1: it's not working on you, yeah, you're you're looking at
Speaker 1: it sort of objectively. Still I'll still I'll still jump
Speaker 1: if it's a scary moment. But I just find like
Speaker 1: a horror film is designed to scare you. So it's
Speaker 1: not surprising I'm scared. Yeah, it's like it's like, it's right.
Speaker 1: I get the point of it. But I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean, it's but it'sn't it. Listen.
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to argue this.
Speaker 1: It's interesting how your brain works. But what I could
Speaker 1: say is, isn't that the same for a romantic comedy
Speaker 1: you know what it is, you know where it's going.
Speaker 1: The same for a thriller like yea? So are you
Speaker 1: saying as No? I love. What I have realized in
Speaker 1: talking to people who like films and listening to this
Speaker 1: podcast episode I didn't listen to last night, is that
Speaker 1: I think my taste in films is frowned upon by cinephiles.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the film that scared me the most, it's
Speaker 1: not really it more left me with a deep sense
Speaker 1: of unease that I found incredibly addictive and couldn't stop
Speaker 1: thinking about was The Dark Night when I saw that
Speaker 1: in the cinema. I think it remains the most like
Speaker 1: adrenaline fuel I've ever been on leaving a cinema. I
Speaker 1: must have been. I don't know when did that come out.
Speaker 1: I must have been like late teenager or something, seventeen
Speaker 1: or eighteen, but just the whole story of Heath Ledger
Speaker 1: and how his performance in it was part of what
Speaker 1: led to his death. I just when I watch it,
Speaker 1: it gives me such hebgbs in it, but also in
Speaker 1: a good way. I just think it's phenomenal and I
Speaker 1: can't not watch it. And also the film's great. That's
Speaker 1: the one that's kind of unsettled me the most. That's
Speaker 1: a great answer, is it. Yeah, great, it's a really
Speaker 1: good answer. Yeah, you should be believe in yourself. What's
Speaker 1: the film that made you cry the most? Do you
Speaker 1: ever cry in a film? A grand life? I do? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do, but I don't. I don't seek out weepy films,
Speaker 1: but I cry it weird things. I mean, I cry
Speaker 1: quite a lot a old sport. If I need a cry,
Speaker 1: I'll watch the feder in the Dial final from twousand
Speaker 1: and eight, when the dial finally wins and runs up
Speaker 1: to the crowd. That always gets me. I tell you,
Speaker 1: the film that actually made me cry the most was
Speaker 1: Manchester by the Sea. Yeah, and I watched it on
Speaker 1: a plane to Australia. Have you ever done that flight. No,
Speaker 1: you enter a very weird psychological state because you're on
Speaker 1: a you're in one place for so long, and you're
Speaker 1: just consuming stuff to distract you and you're not talking
Speaker 1: or anything, so it's very weird. It's like twenty whatever
Speaker 1: it is twenty hours, and I think by kind of
Speaker 1: hour eighteen, like you you're you get to you get
Speaker 1: to mainland Australia, and then you've still got five hours,
Speaker 1: because that's how big it is. So you're just like,
Speaker 1: I am bereft. I need to feel something. And then
Speaker 1: I watched this film not really knowing anything about and
Speaker 1: then there's this sucker punch reveal at the end or
Speaker 1: towards the end. I don't know if I can spoil it,
Speaker 1: but basically you find out that Casey Afflecks kids had
Speaker 1: all died in the house fire. Yeah, and that's why
Speaker 1: he's just so damaged. And I just I don't know
Speaker 1: whether it was the like altitude or cabin pressure or
Speaker 1: the fact that I just wanted to feel something after
Speaker 1: eighteen hours, but I just burst out into tears. But
Speaker 1: also I think it's a phenomenal film. Yeah, were you
Speaker 1: on your own on this plane? Yeah? I was on
Speaker 1: my own Fern Brady was at the back on Zanex.
Speaker 1: So that's great. I got really excited at the airport.
Speaker 1: I'm bean a phone on the plane. I'm taking all right,
Speaker 1: we'll see it later. Then i'll see you a day.
Speaker 1: I guess, so much for camaraderie. Yeah good, that's what
Speaker 1: i'd say. Very good film. Actually I haven't seen it
Speaker 1: since then, but i'd like to watch it again, would
Speaker 1: you maybe? But it's one of those it's one of
Speaker 1: those films that's like, you're good, but you're like, I
Speaker 1: don't need to see it again. But it has been
Speaker 1: a while, so I maybe I can watch it again.
Speaker 1: Have you written you a TV show yet? No? I
Speaker 1: don't think I'm going. I'm think I'm going to. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't really like writing scripts. I've written, I've written.
Speaker 1: I wrote a couple of books over a lockdown, but
Speaker 1: I need to go back over them before I do
Speaker 1: anything with them. Oh yeah, yeah, you were going to
Speaker 1: be another list. You've written two books? I have. I
Speaker 1: mean I say that I've written two first drafts. I
Speaker 1: think most of the actual writing happens when you go
Speaker 1: back over it. So, but I'm focusing on stand up
Speaker 1: at the moment because I need to earn money for
Speaker 1: my work and childs, right, But I will when I
Speaker 1: get I think when you go to nursery, I maybe
Speaker 1: try and get get back on that because I really
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. That's great. But the thing about screenplays is
Speaker 1: that you're just writing instructions for actors, and I find
Speaker 1: that a bit boring. Well, I quite like language, and
Speaker 1: like you know, I like a sentence. I'm a man
Speaker 1: of letters, britt, I'm a literature Yeah, so I don't.
Speaker 1: I just don't get this. I find screenplays I just
Speaker 1: switch off from trying. I know. We may just told
Speaker 1: me before to write a TV show. I just don't
Speaker 1: get the same buzz out of it. I find it
Speaker 1: quite mechanical. Yeah. What's the film that people don't like?
Speaker 1: They don't love it. It's not critically acclaimed, but you
Speaker 1: love it uncondicently. Die Hard three. I love die three.
Speaker 1: Diehard three is the best die Hard film. And yet
Speaker 1: you say that on the forum and you get shocked.
Speaker 1: People release your personal details to the highest bidder. But listen,
Speaker 1: Jeremy Irons is phenomenal in that film. Yeah. Die Hard
Speaker 1: two I think was a misstep in the franchise. I
Speaker 1: didn't love it. I think it's saved by the ending.
Speaker 1: Die Hard one is obviously a great film. Ya. Die
Speaker 1: Hard three, they go somewhere else with it. Samuel Jackson
Speaker 1: is amazing. The scripts incredible. The film opens with Bruce
Speaker 1: Willis wearing a plaquard saying I the N word in
Speaker 1: Harlem as an opening gambit that is strong. You're like, wow,
Speaker 1: they're doing this, you know, m hmm. I think it's
Speaker 1: a great movie. It's really good. It's really funny, really
Speaker 1: good scripts, it's exciting, and they fucking go first one's
Speaker 1: die in in a building. Second day I did in
Speaker 1: an airport at third Ones, die id in a city.
Speaker 1: Let's fu move this about. Yeah. And I actually remember
Speaker 1: seeing die Hard four and I was really excited because
Speaker 1: I was old enough to go and see it in
Speaker 1: the cinema when it came out, and we all got
Speaker 1: like die Hard four cups, big like commemorative cups for
Speaker 1: our drinks, and then we left being like that that.
Speaker 1: I think maybe it's over. Actually he's too old. Die
Speaker 1: Hard five is particularly unpleasant. I've not seen had five. Like,
Speaker 1: there's a weird bit. He's in Russia, He's in Russia,
Speaker 1: he like smashes like steal someone's car, and the man
Speaker 1: like because he needs to chase someone, and the man
Speaker 1: whose currents goes like in Russian, Hey, what the fuck's
Speaker 1: going on? And Bruce Willis goes, do you think I
Speaker 1: speak your language as if that's meant to be like
Speaker 1: a cool thing to say. I mean, but that is
Speaker 1: what he would say though, So yeah, that's consistent, if
Speaker 1: a bit unsettling. It seemed to realize pase. But anyway,
Speaker 1: this is a man who has shot the bad guy
Speaker 1: through his own columbone at the end of the die
Speaker 1: Hard four. Yeah, that is pretty cool. I mean that's
Speaker 1: a pretty cool ending as well. Yeah, and he does
Speaker 1: it falls where he kills a helicopter with a car
Speaker 1: with a taxi. Yes, and he surfs he surfs an
Speaker 1: F sixteen. Yeah. I mean it's a bit much, isn't it.
Speaker 1: I think you need to get that cut back? Did
Speaker 1: for its sounding pretty good to me? Now it's it's
Speaker 1: dial three. It's still three. Okay. What's a film that
Speaker 1: you used to love very much but you've come back
Speaker 1: to it recently and you do not feel the same
Speaker 1: way anymore. Well, I'm a massive Bond fan. That's my being.
Speaker 1: That's the films I get the most excited about. I
Speaker 1: didn't learn this about you when I was when I
Speaker 1: was a kid. ITV did like a maybe this was
Speaker 1: before they before like Golden Iles, remember the Eyes came out.
Speaker 1: But ITV did like I was showing all of the
Speaker 1: Bond films every Saturday for whatever that is, four months,
Speaker 1: and I recorded them all on VHS and like paused
Speaker 1: it between the ad breaks, and then made my own
Speaker 1: homemade Bond collection that I still have at home my parents' house. Somewhere.
Speaker 1: Films was Man with the Gold Gun, Roger Moore, Thailand,
Speaker 1: Odd Job, Christian Lee. I went back and watched that
Speaker 1: a few months ago, and wow, it is painfully slow,
Speaker 1: insanely racist in a way that I don't really I mean,
Speaker 1: a lot of the Roger Moore films I'm not going
Speaker 1: to watch again because I think I know what I'm
Speaker 1: going to feel after them. It's I mean, in octopusity
Speaker 1: he flicks an Indian man accordion says that should keep
Speaker 1: you in courage for a couple of weeks. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: and you forget this stuff. You're like, oh, there's a
Speaker 1: fun film and then you watch it and you go wow.
Speaker 1: But Golden guy. I just what struck me was how
Speaker 1: slow it was and how like painfully long establishing shots.
Speaker 1: And also they did this amazing stunt where they flip
Speaker 1: a car over the bridge, but they add a tin
Speaker 1: whistle over the top of it. Remember they did a
Speaker 1: stunt which they did live. It's a live action stunt
Speaker 1: where the car like goes over a bridge and it
Speaker 1: turns on its own axis in midead there's like a
Speaker 1: one eighty. And then in the final edit I don't
Speaker 1: know who signed this off, they get a guy on
Speaker 1: a penny whistle to go like that. You go, what
Speaker 1: are you seeing? You've just done an incredible live stack.
Speaker 1: It's true YouTube and now it's awful. I can't believe
Speaker 1: it goes seriously and it comes out of nowhere. There's
Speaker 1: no other action sequence in the Bond franchise where they
Speaker 1: put a penny whistle over the top. It's awful, fucking insane.
Speaker 1: I like that. You're like, the racism I can handle,
Speaker 1: but the establishing shots, Jesus. Yeah, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: strong stomach, but something and sometimes you pushed too far.
Speaker 1: Fig Taylor, what is the film that means the most
Speaker 1: to you, not necessarily the film itself is special, but
Speaker 1: because the experience you had around seeing it will always
Speaker 1: make it meaningful to you. Fim Taylor. The example you
Speaker 1: said when you sent this question through was like, if
Speaker 1: you're going a date with someone. The only time I've
Speaker 1: gone to the cinema on a date, we actually walked
Speaker 1: out because it was so bad. I think it was
Speaker 1: part of the Caribbean two or some of three. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I was boring. But the film that means
Speaker 1: the most to me, I think is The Blues Brothers
Speaker 1: because when I was maybe nine or ten, my dad
Speaker 1: gave me a copy of it on VHS for Christmas
Speaker 1: and it was a fifteen, but he was like, you're
Speaker 1: going to love this. I don't care that it's a
Speaker 1: fifteen because I was really into that kind of music
Speaker 1: as well. I was really into soul and like funk
Speaker 1: as a kid, and he was like, this is also
Speaker 1: your sense of humor, and he was so right, and
Speaker 1: I just watched it over and over and over again,
Speaker 1: and so whenever I see that film, I just feel
Speaker 1: really warm and gooey about my dad giving it to me.
Speaker 1: And it's a great it's a great film. And I
Speaker 1: heard someone slagging off recently, looks like back back the
Speaker 1: fuck down. That's a brilliant film. You've got only you've
Speaker 1: got John Blushan Denacroy, but you've got James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Ray,
Speaker 1: Charles cab Callaway. It's insane. It's brilliant film, biggest cart
Speaker 1: chase ever, so funny. Princess Laiah doesn't say anything for
Speaker 1: two hours, just shoots, just shoots a buzuka. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's hilarious. That is a lovely story. Thanks Matt. Really
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, you get ten points for it. What
Speaker 1: is the film you most relate to? Well, this is
Speaker 1: an interesting question, but I tell you now, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Oh was it on Netflix or is it something else?
Speaker 1: Over Christmas just gone? We watched a film called Silent Night.
Speaker 1: Oh right, the Kiera Nightley. Yeah, I watched. We watched
Speaker 1: that and I was buzzing at the end of it.
Speaker 1: I loved it so much because really it feels like
Speaker 1: it is the exact film that subverts everything I hate
Speaker 1: about films in that it is like, go on, so
Speaker 1: the premises, it's all it's this kind of kitch Christmas movie.
Speaker 1: And it's playing Christmas music and Kiera Knightley is in it,
Speaker 1: and she's sort of playing a similar kind of smiley,
Speaker 1: middle class mumsy person like she doesn't have actually, and
Speaker 1: people are all arriving at this country house and then
Speaker 1: it slowly becomes apparent that there's some kind of impending
Speaker 1: apocalypse happening, and it's very dark and they're all talking
Speaker 1: about suicide. But it's it's really funny in that they're
Speaker 1: they're all talking, they're all like airing all their dirty
Speaker 1: laundry and who's who's the actor? Who is? He's also
Speaker 1: in camping with Judia Davis. Do you know how I
Speaker 1: mean it's a British I think he's called Russell. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because this phenomenal. He's so funny in it. He plays
Speaker 1: as kind of like like wet husband who his wife
Speaker 1: just wants to have sex with all the other friends there.
Speaker 1: It's so funny. And then also they actually follow it through,
Speaker 1: like they follow the disaster through and everyone I don't
Speaker 1: want to ruin it, but basically they go and I
Speaker 1: just have so much respect for like to take a
Speaker 1: dark thing and it's funny for an hour, and then
Speaker 1: you're like you know what, No, let's do let's finish
Speaker 1: it off. It's like it's like Rogue One is the
Speaker 1: best Star Wars film because of the ending? Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because it actually leaves you with a sense of like
Speaker 1: the darkness, like one. But it was funny along the
Speaker 1: way that makes it. I don't know why I relate
Speaker 1: to it, but I just is that your how you
Speaker 1: and I think you do achieve this? But is that
Speaker 1: you're a stand up hour with you? Is that? Well? Maybe?
Speaker 1: But although not everyone dies at the end, I don't
Speaker 1: murder the audience at the end of my show. But
Speaker 1: it's maybe you can see why I like it. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just have a lot of respect for
Speaker 1: I thought. I also think it's it's filmmakers will have
Speaker 1: a have a respect for the audience and they go,
Speaker 1: you know what, We're going to treat you like adults.
Speaker 1: This is not a kitch film. We're going to go
Speaker 1: all the way. I really like that. I'm not joking
Speaker 1: when I say this. Have you ever seen Hunchback of
Speaker 1: the Disney film I will have done? Yeah, it's the
Speaker 1: animated one. Yeah, not at I would put this in
Speaker 1: that category and watch it again. It's it's a it's
Speaker 1: fucking brilliant on every level, but it is fucking dark
Speaker 1: and at the end, at the end, it's a Disney
Speaker 1: film that says, yeah, it doesn't matter how much of
Speaker 1: a great guy you are, if you're the hunchback, you're
Speaker 1: not getting anymore. I'm afraid you are fucked. Yeah, you're not.
Speaker 1: You're not going to end up with them anymore. She's
Speaker 1: still going to end up with the fit soldier even
Speaker 1: though you saved. That's good because that teaches kids about
Speaker 1: the reality of life. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a really dark film that I
Speaker 1: have a lot of respect for that. I like that
Speaker 1: as a yeah because you because you're always predicting that
Speaker 1: I was going to be a happy ending though, oh
Speaker 1: it's not going to be all yeah, the kids haven't
Speaker 1: all died, and then they do. You go, oh fuck, wow, okay,
Speaker 1: fair you know what fair play? I feel really empty now,
Speaker 1: and you got me. I feel really empty down upstairs?
Speaker 1: What is the film you found the sexiest Finn Taylor
Speaker 1: calendar girls? Good lord, I couldn't stop coming. No, I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I don't know how
Speaker 1: to answer that question. I mean, when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: I used to watch Basic Instincts. Yeah, I was a
Speaker 1: nineties kid or hopped up on hormones. But I don't
Speaker 1: do you mean sexy in terms of like the way
Speaker 1: it's shot. I mean it. However, you might think Chinatown
Speaker 1: is a very alluring aesthetic, like I love all that
Speaker 1: oldie worldye stuff, and you know the style of it,
Speaker 1: and Blade Run a Blade Runner as well, like that
Speaker 1: that cityscape is so sexy. Yeah, I don't really know.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll say Chinatown, do you know what I mean
Speaker 1: by the aesthetic of it is? So I do? I do.
Speaker 1: But you're you're saying you're you're going for incests. Okay,
Speaker 1: what Yeah, there's a subcategree, there's a subca agree. Traveling
Speaker 1: Bone is worrying. Why I don't a film you found
Speaker 1: a rousing that you weren't sure you should. I always
Speaker 1: kind of had a thing for Jessica Rabbit the cartoon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's not That's not troubling, isn't it? But then
Speaker 1: women find that weird. You see, I know you don't
Speaker 1: find that weird because you're we're just we're just flashing blood. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but my wife's like, how do you find to that
Speaker 1: as a drawing? I'm like, yeah, but what what? What?
Speaker 1: How did he finish that drawing? You must have been
Speaker 1: so horny the whole time. That's why that film, That's
Speaker 1: what animation so long, every animation with Jessica Rabbit to
Speaker 1: keep stuffing? Can you just finish Jessica Rabbi his desk?
Speaker 1: There's all these buckets filled with just fluids. Right, we're
Speaker 1: cutting down Jessica Rabbits that much. We're never going to
Speaker 1: fit in. She's got two minutes. But yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever been troubled by an
Speaker 1: erection during a film. Sorry, okay, now listen, you're you're shameless.
Speaker 1: As they said, what is objectively the greatest film of
Speaker 1: all time? Clin Taylor? Not necessarily your favorite, but objectively
Speaker 1: the one objectively The Rock? Now this is where this
Speaker 1: is where cinephiles. But I genuinely think because my yeah, right,
Speaker 1: so The Rock is fucking really brilliant, and also I
Speaker 1: don't think it gets appreciated enough. In three years, Nicholas
Speaker 1: Cage did Conner The Rock and Face Off back to
Speaker 1: back to back what run. The thing is. What I
Speaker 1: find annoying about the film industry, and particularly the awards system,
Speaker 1: is that it just rewards films that are important rather
Speaker 1: than films that are fun. And I feel like we've
Speaker 1: lost a lot of films that are fun because they're
Speaker 1: either massive budget spectacles like the I don't watch the
Speaker 1: sort of marble, you know those films. I'm quite stressful.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. But you know, the
Speaker 1: rock is the dialogue is ridiculous. It is ridiculous. Winner
Speaker 1: should go home and fuck the prom quit. You know,
Speaker 1: it's stupid, It's so quotable, it's high octane. It's cage
Speaker 1: is just utter silliest. His wife is ludicrously attractive for
Speaker 1: a scientist. He's called Stanley goodspeed Um. Sean Connery is
Speaker 1: kind of playing an old Bond, even though that's never
Speaker 1: really spoken about. It's just it's you know, Alcatraz is
Speaker 1: in there. Ed Harris is brilliant in it. And and
Speaker 1: I will say this, the bad guy has a point,
Speaker 1: has a real motive. He's fine for veterans. He's for
Speaker 1: a veteran. Yeah, I'm Harris. And also what I love
Speaker 1: about it is how when Britain was preparing dossiers on
Speaker 1: whether they should invade Iraq. They basically they said that
Speaker 1: Sadam Hussein had these beads of nuclear weapons or chemical
Speaker 1: weapons which they had just taken from the rock. So
Speaker 1: it was complete there and their intelligence in quotes, was
Speaker 1: just the plot of the rock, and so the Iraq
Speaker 1: will happen because of the rock. Yeah, let's say that.
Speaker 1: Let's say that the entire the fall of Sadam whoisone,
Speaker 1: was down to Nicholas Cage and that is why it
Speaker 1: is objectively, But I just it's like it's on maybe
Speaker 1: three or four times a year. It seems to be
Speaker 1: constantly on eye player, and I will always watch it
Speaker 1: because it's so fun and there's always a line of
Speaker 1: dialogue that I forget about the actions great, It's just
Speaker 1: pure escapism in a way that I think a lot
Speaker 1: of films aren't now. Fun fun film. I love it.
Speaker 1: I can't work out if it's my favorite Michael Bay,
Speaker 1: it's that or Bad Boys too, Yeah, but they're both.
Speaker 1: They're both magic. Michael Bay did Point Break as well?
Speaker 1: Or was that someone else that was Kevine Bigger? Point
Speaker 1: Breaks a growth films A great film? What is the
Speaker 1: film that you could or have? What's the most over
Speaker 1: and over again? Well, the rocker side. I think Skyfall
Speaker 1: is the perfect Bond. I think it's majestic. I don't
Speaker 1: see why they don't just copy the formula they did
Speaker 1: for that all the time. What did you make of
Speaker 1: No Time for Day? Really really liked it except the
Speaker 1: theme tune. It's like, look, I'm sorry, Billie Eilish, you're
Speaker 1: a skinny little girl. You need a big old woman
Speaker 1: to sing the theme tune. That's or Tom Jones that
Speaker 1: is bot. I don't know who this Billy Eilish is.
Speaker 1: I've just seen a photo of her. It's very fine,
Speaker 1: did you know? Probably make sure that I don't care
Speaker 1: Adele before she lost the way, Shirley Bassie, Tom Jones,
Speaker 1: these are the people who sing Bond theme shits. Do
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah? No, I hear you're
Speaker 1: you weren't you weren't short establishing shots and big lungs
Speaker 1: big yeah. But I think sky for I think Bardom
Speaker 1: is brilliant. The kind of homoerotic tension was something you
Speaker 1: haven't seen in the Bond franchise. And then I think
Speaker 1: after that, I think the other films recently. I thought
Speaker 1: No Time to Die was brilliant, but the one before,
Speaker 1: which was called Specter, I thought was a bit weak
Speaker 1: and a bit rushed, and they were trying to crowbar
Speaker 1: in this narrative like you were trying to join it
Speaker 1: all up. I thought Christoph Waltz was sort of criminally
Speaker 1: under used. As when I've heard about that casting, I
Speaker 1: was so excited. I was like, that's perfect. Christoph Waltz
Speaker 1: is Blowfeld. I just didn't think it really ever came off.
Speaker 1: But I think sky For as a standalone film, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I love it. It's just it's just I feel I
Speaker 1: feel so proud to be British watching that. Would you play?
Speaker 1: Of course? I would bring to it the Steel of
Speaker 1: Dalton with the camp anger of Roger Moore. I do
Speaker 1: everything that massively cocked eyebrow, and I keep looking down
Speaker 1: the camera whenever, whenever a woman slinked up to me,
Speaker 1: I just look at the camera with a massive eyebrow,
Speaker 1: and you know what's going to happen. Just to give
Speaker 1: them something else in the edit, you know, they could
Speaker 1: just cut straight to the next scene if they didn't
Speaker 1: want to. You know what's going about to happen. I'd
Speaker 1: be like Austin Powers. It'd be like Austin Powers in
Speaker 1: a natural Bond film. I like it now. I don't
Speaker 1: like to be too negative thin, so we'll do it
Speaker 1: fairly quickly. What's the worst film you've ever seen? Toss
Speaker 1: up between Scorsese's Silence and I was that controversial? You've
Speaker 1: just lost your ten point? Really? That fucking garbage that film?
Speaker 1: And I won't hear it is garbage? She with what
Speaker 1: was your second choice? The last word? Anderson film, the
Speaker 1: most recent one. I can't remember what it's called. Dispatch.
Speaker 1: That is that is the most self indulgent fuck you
Speaker 1: the audience. I'm with Anderson tripe that you could ever see.
Speaker 1: You can have that, but you're not having silence. Silence, right?
Speaker 1: Does it not bother you? That? Okay? Everyone's a seventeenth
Speaker 1: century Portuguese missionary and they're doing accents like Adam Garfield
Speaker 1: and the other and Adam Driver doing Andrew and I'm
Speaker 1: Driver doing accents. And then they're sent to find Liam Neeson,
Speaker 1: who is a Portuguese missionary that lives in Japan, and
Speaker 1: they get to him and he's just all than irish
Speaker 1: because they're like, there's no way you can handle this
Speaker 1: level off travel that this character. So just do you
Speaker 1: just be un Liam just yea, you know, but they're
Speaker 1: still speaking in Portuguese. Yeah, and he's just going right there,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? I love in Japan? You know
Speaker 1: it's it's mad. It took me out the whole film.
Speaker 1: I mean I also saw it. I saw it on
Speaker 1: New Year's Day, like, oh my god, so I will
Speaker 1: I will can see that. But I thought Scorsese, I
Speaker 1: thought Samurai. I thought brilliant, it's gonna be great. And
Speaker 1: then it was just like, oh, we get it, mate,
Speaker 1: you're religious really upset about this. Really yeah funny. But
Speaker 1: also I barely know a single person he's seen Silence.
Speaker 1: You might be the first person talking to he's ever
Speaker 1: seen it. Did it not bother the name nation thing?
Speaker 1: Does that not? I'll tell you out the whole film. No,
Speaker 1: Because I mean you're saying that, I go like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I think I just just go. It's like having Ray
Speaker 1: Winston in a film. He can't do an accent. You're
Speaker 1: just lucky to have him. He'll do what he does
Speaker 1: and you've just got it in your in your head.
Speaker 1: Make the connection of so after like, you know, two
Speaker 1: and a half hours of building up this character. You
Speaker 1: just may have you seen Black Widow. You know Ray
Speaker 1: Winston's playing arresting in Black Widow. I think I've seen
Speaker 1: a clip of him trying to But at the same time,
Speaker 1: it's this weird thing where you're going, well, that's not
Speaker 1: the accent Ray. But on the other hand, you're so
Speaker 1: carrious about Yeah you are, Ray Winston. I'm filling the gaps.
Speaker 1: I'm going to put a bet on actually, yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what, So you're going like, I'll just I'll make that.
Speaker 1: I'll do the little bit of work I have to
Speaker 1: do to make this work. In my head, it certainly
Speaker 1: didn't ruin the film for me. No, when I when
Speaker 1: he started talking, I just could I couldn't stop thinking
Speaker 1: about him going classic drumming song in love actually, and
Speaker 1: I was just like, well this films. I was also
Speaker 1: really hungover. Yeah, a terrible hangover film. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I can see that. I'd say, what's the worst hangover film? Silence? Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: riddle me this. You're in comedy, you're a comedian, you're
Speaker 1: very funny. What's the film that made you laugh to
Speaker 1: make the other guys with Will Ferres, Mark Wahlburg Man,
Speaker 1: that's funny. The running joke about Will Ferrell is married
Speaker 1: to Eva Mendez and he keeps calling at her. He
Speaker 1: keeps apologizing for his plain wife. She's the most like
Speaker 1: you know, she's like a sexist dream in that she's
Speaker 1: this gorgeous woman who' always running these low up tops,
Speaker 1: who's like cooking all these amazing meals and invites Mark
Speaker 1: Warbo for dinner and she says something really funny and
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, she's so boring. I'm playing, oh man.
Speaker 1: And also the just the slapstick in it. I'm a
Speaker 1: big sucker for like Leslie Nielsen films, there was a yeah,
Speaker 1: it was either the other Guys or it was draftedly
Speaker 1: dead and loving it, which me and my sister used
Speaker 1: to be obsessed by. But yeah, the Other Guys is
Speaker 1: I think the most I've laughed at a film in
Speaker 1: the last few years, and I've watched it several times.
Speaker 1: It's really got that amazing bit where they jump off
Speaker 1: the building Samuel. It's really quite something like that bit.
Speaker 1: It's quite a high budget for a stupid Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: why this is why I like The Blues Brothers is
Speaker 1: that they just wreck an unspeakable amount of cars. Must
Speaker 1: have cost them so much money, and at the whole
Speaker 1: point of the film is that it's a laugh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I like that. You ever
Speaker 1: seen Ted two? No? Are you in that? No? But
Speaker 1: it's a really funny filmed It must have cost one
Speaker 1: hundred million. Is that a talking bear? Yeah? Talking bear? Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that people hated it. It's really funny,
Speaker 1: but I think you'd respect the amount of work that's
Speaker 1: gone it. Like there's like a throwaway one line joke
Speaker 1: that's filmed underwater with a I'm that must have cost
Speaker 1: ten million that Yeah, yeah, I respect that. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean there's a level of respect for that, isn't that. Yeah?
Speaker 1: Finn Taylor, you've been wonderful. However, you were thirty one
Speaker 1: years old summer as summer turned towards him, and you
Speaker 1: went for a walk just to take in the new
Speaker 1: new colors of the day. But you're surprisingly weak and thin. Skin.
Speaker 1: Was struck by a fooling leaf, a sycamore leaf, and
Speaker 1: it and it sliced out, it was spinning and it
Speaker 1: actually what happened was sliced open. You're jagging. I like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's open to a film, Matt, Yeah, slice doping Jagger
Speaker 1: and you were like what and you but as you
Speaker 1: went to speak, blood came out and you set fall
Speaker 1: into the ground. You were trying to cool out, but
Speaker 1: the blood was so hoking you and you just fell
Speaker 1: on the ground and leaves then pile on top of you,
Speaker 1: so no one even noticed. And I'm walking around now
Speaker 1: it's an autumn. I'm kicking leaves the best. No one
Speaker 1: knows because you were covered by leaves at this right, okay,
Speaker 1: And I'm walking around with a coffee, you know, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm kicking leaves this autumn. I'm like, this is lovely
Speaker 1: and a kick and my foot hits something quite weak,
