Speaker 1: Yes, that's very funny.
Speaker 2: It's called keep It Tight, and yeah with Chast once
Speaker 2: a week. We're both comedians, torn around so with swap stories.
Speaker 2: And then I have another one with my daughter who
Speaker 2: is twenty one.
Speaker 1: How does that work now? I haven't listened to that.
Speaker 1: Tell me, yeah, doing anything with your daughter? And has
Speaker 1: it changed? Has it changed your relationship doing a public thing.
Speaker 2: We're quite open, but it's probably a cliche thing to say.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised at like how much I learn from her,
Speaker 2: because you know the way on the podcast, you do
Speaker 2: have to keep talking and like she said to me there,
Speaker 2: like refly was so funny. She was going out a date,
Speaker 2: very straighted with your children, like start dates and stuff,
Speaker 2: And a bit of advice for anyone, never asked to
Speaker 2: see a picture of the day, because there's no good
Speaker 2: way to react to that. As a parent. You can't
Speaker 2: say like, oh, well they're really good looking, like it's
Speaker 2: just weird. So she's gone on the date and whatever,
Speaker 2: and she was getting ready and then she was sitting
Speaker 2: on the couch and she wasn't going And I was like,
Speaker 2: what about the date. She's like, no, I called her off.
Speaker 2: It just didn't something was off. I wasn't, you know,
Speaker 2: I wasn't feeling. I was like, but were they not
Speaker 2: on their way to the date? Say, I've told them
Speaker 2: they're on their way to the date, like you have
Speaker 2: to go on the date. And then she said to me,
Speaker 2: she's like, I don't owe that person anything. I was like,
Speaker 2: so right, yes, they're going, like we're not going in
Speaker 2: like do some cheeky just like because yo the word Like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like, well you've you probably have to marry them.
Speaker 2: You don't have to meet them. Maybe a bit of it.
Speaker 2: She was like, So she was educate me. She's like, no, no,
Speaker 2: you don't have to do that. Wow, you've raised the right.
Speaker 2: How does she learn this stuff? I don't know. It
Speaker 2: wasn't from me.
Speaker 1: Has doing it? Were you always very close and talk
Speaker 1: all the time or is.
Speaker 2: This like yeah, we were always very close because I
Speaker 2: had her when I was eighteen, so I got pregnant
Speaker 2: with her basically like I went after like my idea
Speaker 2: was to go and discover the world. My parents were
Speaker 2: quite strict, so I went up discover the world and
Speaker 2: I got as far as Coretent in Wexford and got
Speaker 2: pregnant there in about four days. Like the freedom just
Speaker 2: blew my mind.
Speaker 1: You got pregnant from freedom?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, totally totally. So I went back home and
Speaker 2: I was doing like my final year in school, so
Speaker 2: I was like the pregnant girl Emma. And then twelve
Speaker 2: years later my daughter went to the same school and
Speaker 2: it was all the same teachers.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: So she kind of even before that though, but she
Speaker 2: knew the whole story, you know, like it's like in
Speaker 2: an age appropriate way. So it was always really open
Speaker 2: with her. And then even as she was a teenager,
Speaker 2: I would always be saying to her like if a
Speaker 2: near friends get into trouble, like bring me, and you know,
Speaker 2: I was kind of waiting for it to be like,
Speaker 2: you know, skins or but it wasn't. None of them
Speaker 2: drink or spoke, and they're all very sensible or whatever.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we've always been close, but she's very like,
Speaker 2: she's very sensible. My brother's theory is that she's rebelling
Speaker 2: against me. She's doing a PhD at the moment. What
Speaker 2: so yeah, I know, yeah, she's a PhD. So she
Speaker 2: did a degree in psychology and now she's off doing that.
Speaker 2: So we're very different.
Speaker 1: Great, maybe he made the savior of the world.
Speaker 2: I don't know that there's two negatives to make a
Speaker 2: positive or something. Just some sort of something happened chemically.
Speaker 1: Can ask a question really personal and maybe inappropriate, is
Speaker 1: the father involve? Was the father?
Speaker 2: Vove? Yes? The father? Basically like that was just like
Speaker 2: a dalliance, a somewhat romance. Now, we did keep in
Speaker 2: touch after the fact because I was going to go
Speaker 2: visit him and he then had gone to college and
Speaker 2: I was on the phone ho and he was like,
Speaker 2: when you come to visit or whatever, and I said
Speaker 2: to him, I'm pregnant. Actually, it's so funny. Chris Rock
Speaker 2: has it in one of his shows. I don't know
Speaker 2: which one it is, but like if a woman says
Speaker 2: too that she's pregnant, and then your response is, what
Speaker 2: are you going to do? So I just don't lie
Speaker 2: because that's what he said to me. So now he's
Speaker 2: a lovely man or whatever. So it was kind of
Speaker 2: like ropy for a few years, but it's all good.
Speaker 2: Now everyone is in touch. He is married, he has
Speaker 2: his own family. I've met them all. They're all gorgeous.
Speaker 2: His wife is a lovely woman. We were all at
Speaker 2: the twenty first Yeah, so it's really nice. But if
Speaker 2: you'd asked me twenty one years ago, I probably will,
Speaker 2: like Fock's sake, given it about him, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, well for him, but no, it just took
Speaker 2: it stuck a little bit of time. But it's all.
Speaker 2: It's all good.
Speaker 1: Thank you for ye.
Speaker 2: All right, you need see this when you have a kid,
Speaker 2: yr you actually need a script because everyone's always so
Speaker 2: curious and everyone wants to know because people think of
Speaker 2: that time that they dodged the bullet themselves, or you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Or you're like, oh, my sister
Speaker 2: had a kid when she was sixty or my friend
Speaker 2: or you know, everyone could Everyone has thought about it.
Speaker 2: Anyone who has ever had any sort of sexual contact
Speaker 2: with another person always thinks about what would have happened. Yes,
Speaker 2: if that would have resulted in a baby?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Fuck, it's perfectly normal to ask the questions. I've been
Speaker 2: asked them all.
Speaker 1: And when did you start comedy?
Speaker 2: I started comedy at twenty nine, so I thought I
Speaker 2: was very old because I already had like a ten
Speaker 2: year old. Yes, you gentlemen, So I did think quite Oh,
Speaker 2: but what had happened was I was on I met
Speaker 2: my partner, Shane Ande with now and we got together.
Speaker 2: That was all happy and clovely and whatever. And then
Speaker 2: I had my son, Joe, and I was on maternity leave,
Speaker 2: and I suddenly kind of thought to myself, always wanted
Speaker 2: to do something like comedy or creative or like my
Speaker 2: thing was. I always wanted to, like secretly, like you
Speaker 2: would never tell anyone, but I wanted to act. And then, obviously,
Speaker 2: you know, I went home and told my family I
Speaker 2: was pregnant. I wasn't going to say and I'm going
Speaker 2: to be an actor as well, like that would just
Speaker 2: be a bit too much. Get a grip. So when
Speaker 2: did like sensible at min jobs, you know, annoying jobs.
Speaker 2: But then I was like god, I was like ten years,
Speaker 2: it's gone so fast, and I haven't really I don't
Speaker 2: like little things, but nothing really like really putting myself
Speaker 2: out there because I'd be too embarrassed, like god, Scarlett.
Speaker 2: So when I was at maternity leave, I did some
Speaker 2: sketches with friends and that like got a good response
Speaker 2: from people. I got like a Telly audition and stuff
Speaker 2: as well, and I was like, oh, it just so easy.
Speaker 2: I couldn't film it because I'd hear my pregnancy in
Speaker 2: the audition. I know, so bad so Irish.
Speaker 1: Just carrying boxes in front of you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just were really floating clothes and kind of
Speaker 2: arched my work and I got it. But then they
Speaker 2: were filming on my due dates, so that all went whatever.
Speaker 2: But that kind of gave me a bit of confidence
Speaker 2: and I said, you know what, maybe I'm going to
Speaker 2: do the stand up. So then when Joe, I think
Speaker 2: was six weeks old, I said to Shane, I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm going to go and do stand up comedy and
Speaker 2: he was like, you're having a breakdown. This is obviously
Speaker 2: like some post natal depression thing or something, and he
Speaker 2: was like, okay. I went and did it, did the
Speaker 2: first one and it was in a place in Dublin
Speaker 2: called Battle of the Axe. I thought it would be like,
Speaker 2: do you know, like in eight Mile when M and
Speaker 2: M Yes, you know and it's like yeah. I thought
Speaker 2: that because it was Battle of the Axe. I thought
Speaker 2: it would be real serious and all the graphics on
Speaker 2: the Crappy website were all real like grungey or something.
Speaker 2: And I went to it. It was totally fine. It
Speaker 2: was very relaxed. I was like, oh, this is actually
Speaker 2: I just my idea of stand up comedy at that
Speaker 2: time was just that it would be really rowdy. Obviously
Speaker 2: sometimes it can't be. Ready would like most of the
Speaker 2: time it's not. And I went and did that anyway,
Speaker 2: and then they do a little competition and I won
Speaker 2: the competition. I was like, oh great. I was like,
Speaker 2: so I just yeah, I've been totally addicted, totally addicted,
Speaker 2: and that was my obsession and still is obsessed to
Speaker 2: go over my life.
Speaker 1: That's really cool. And the tour you're doing at the
Speaker 1: moment is this how many tours of you?
Speaker 2: This is only my second like proper tour like I've
Speaker 2: done a few shows, but I was always afraid of
Speaker 2: like people not coming. I don't really like that, and
Speaker 2: so I did a few like small shows. So I'd
Speaker 2: say this is show number five, but like only the
Speaker 2: second one of like touring around and how.
Speaker 1: Do you like the touring part of it?
Speaker 2: I love it. I do because I've done absolutely forgot
Speaker 2: like in terms of travel, like I've been nowhere. I've
Speaker 2: just been having kids, so be senseil. So now my
Speaker 2: youngest is nine, so I feel like I'm at a
Speaker 2: good point where I can kind of, you know, leave
Speaker 2: a little bit and come back, you know, for a
Speaker 2: few days. Like so yeah, it's really I love being
Speaker 2: like on my own and meeting people. And it is
Speaker 2: a little bit We're get a little bit tired, that's
Speaker 2: the thing. But I've got this morning. I was like,
Speaker 2: I booked this really early flight, not really only, but
Speaker 2: I was like a seven something, and I think, oh,
Speaker 2: that's so clever of me. And then when I went
Speaker 2: to leave the hotel, I was like, it's the middle
Speaker 2: of the night. What are you doing? Because I tried
Speaker 2: to get when I'm out on my own, I tried
Speaker 2: to give this impression that I'm a man like I
Speaker 2: put my hood up and try and give off a vibe, right,
Speaker 2: you know, but then I think, right, I better get
Speaker 2: an uber because of oh, such sheap skate. I'm constantly
Speaker 2: I was staying in the crap is places. I just
Speaker 2: I love being cheap, and I vape as well. Apologies
Speaker 2: by vape, so that gives off a goodbye because the
Speaker 2: vape is oh yeah, I do have the fape.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, it's you're not.
Speaker 2: Mess like that's three kilos and men. So but yeah,
Speaker 2: I just light. People are coming and people there, and
Speaker 2: people are so like it's a lot for people to
Speaker 2: organize to go to shows, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to me like I do really know
Speaker 1: what you mean. I find it really like I've talked
Speaker 1: about this before, but I sort of find it genuinely
Speaker 1: moving the people to get baby oh big.
Speaker 2: Sore because I'm like the person who I will see
Speaker 2: things for sale or whatever, and I'm like, oh, that's great,
Speaker 2: But I don't actually make the whole the follow through
Speaker 2: of like, yeah, oh yeah, that's.
Speaker 1: Interesting meeting your friends somewhere where we meeting for a drink, you.
Speaker 2: Know that getting food? What time can you come.
Speaker 1: Up do you know how long it is? Because I've
Speaker 1: got a thing tomorrow. You know all that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually do that. Now. I go straight out
Speaker 2: and I just say, okay, so this part is going
Speaker 2: to be twenty minutes. Then we're gonna have a break.
Speaker 2: We're gonna so people know, because people want to know,
Speaker 2: people have lies, you know, it needs.
Speaker 1: To be completely I think the same with films. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I have to know what I'm looking at it, and
Speaker 1: you have to say, if this is a three hour film,
Speaker 1: that's fine, but I have to know that so I'm
Speaker 1: emotionally prepared. If it's ninety minutes, great, I just don't
Speaker 1: want to three hours. It feels endless. What's happened?
Speaker 2: Three hours? It's not ready. I could do three hours now.
Speaker 2: I need I need to know. I need to know fixtures.
Speaker 1: Emma Duran. Yes, I've forgotten to tell you something. I
Speaker 1: should have. Fuck, I should have actually said this earlier,
Speaker 1: maybe when we texted. I probably should have told you.
Speaker 1: But it's only just sort of come back to me.
Speaker 1: I think I'm you know, it's listen, it's it's early,
Speaker 1: and so forgive me, but I'll just I'll just tell you.
Speaker 1: I guess I guess, well, I guess you've died. You're dead. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's why you I'm ghosty.
Speaker 2: I'm so obvious.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's why I was like that. I forgot that
Speaker 1: when I'm literally looking at you, guys, how did you die?
Speaker 2: I die? I'll tell you how I died. I fell
Speaker 2: down the stairs. I fell on the stairs, and in
Speaker 2: a cruel twist, I fell on something of my own,
Speaker 2: Brabbie cairdire, wrapped up on the put on the stairs
Speaker 2: to be brought back upstairs. And it was real, one
Speaker 2: of those false but I looked nice on the ground.
Speaker 2: I was not really shaped, you know what? What had
Speaker 2: killed you? Like you break your neck, but in a
Speaker 2: in a really sexy way, yeah, one of sex. You're
Speaker 2: just like nice, Like the hair was kind of covering it.
Speaker 2: And people thought I was messing. We're having a joke
Speaker 2: and she's actually dead.
Speaker 1: Does it please you for a minute they thought you
Speaker 1: were joking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, go out and the joke. Yeah, it's kind of nice,
Speaker 2: And I want I'd like the idea of people kind
Speaker 2: of telling other people say, we thought we actually thought
Speaker 2: she was joking. Thought she was joking, so her all over.
Speaker 1: Find the way she went it was funny, like it
Speaker 1: seemed like planned because she said she'd also put the
Speaker 1: head right there herself, so we just thought the whole
Speaker 1: thing was a setup.
Speaker 2: I'm constantly falling down the stairs though, constantly. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: love to like I love getting jobs in the house, doe.
Speaker 2: So if I'm bringing laundry downstairs, I don't want to
Speaker 2: make the two trips. I'm gone for the big one. Yes,
Speaker 2: wearing slippers with no backs, constantly, constantly for myself.
Speaker 1: How old do you want to be when you die?
Speaker 2: Oh? I mean how greedy can you be? Can you
Speaker 2: say nineties? I mean, I don't know. I think I'm
Speaker 2: going to have an accent or something. But maybe eighty
Speaker 2: eight eighty eight? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, why yeah, eight seems reasonable? Okay, maybe eighty
Speaker 3: four eighty four? Yeah, I just I'm not giving enough
Speaker 3: to vape. I'll just be honest about that.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, that's keeping my muscle density up, lifting it
Speaker 2: up to my mouth the whole time.
Speaker 1: You've got one very strong arm and one very weak one,
Speaker 1: because you don't know today. Yeah, okay, so you're eighty
Speaker 1: eight and you're dead, do you worry about death?
Speaker 2: No? I don't really. I was brought to a lot
Speaker 2: of funerals and wakes as a child, Like my dad
Speaker 2: would have brought me to lots of funerals, and I
Speaker 2: was trained at a very young age to I go
Speaker 2: up to the person and say sorry for your loss,
Speaker 2: which is I was like, no, I can't. He kind
Speaker 2: of trained me so we would come from like a
Speaker 2: big well, it's kind of an Irish thing, just being
Speaker 2: big on wakes and funerals and stuff like that and
Speaker 2: this when you're dead, there's nothing you can do about it.
Speaker 2: It's all the I'm more concerned about other people dying
Speaker 2: than me dying.
Speaker 1: It does seem in and forgive me if this is wrong,
Speaker 1: from what you're saying, I've heard this foot it does
Speaker 1: seem that in Ireland, compared to England, death is much
Speaker 1: more open, as in like come and see this body,
Speaker 1: come and have a party around the body.
Speaker 2: Yeah, eat sandwiches over the body.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Does that? Do you actually think that? Because I
Speaker 1: think death is too secretive in English culture, like it's
Speaker 1: a bit like I don't know know what to do
Speaker 1: with it. And when I hear about Ireland sometimes I think, also,
Speaker 1: wonder does it genuinely help you? You're you're not scared
Speaker 1: of death, right, is it? Because you've been around loads
Speaker 1: of dead bodies having sandwiches?
Speaker 2: I think so. Yeah. Read Shane's dad, dad my sword,
Speaker 2: like this is a go a few years ago. But
Speaker 2: obviously he obviously like four, he had never seen a
Speaker 2: dead body, but he Oh my god, So his dad
Speaker 2: is like in the sitting room, in the coffin, laid out.
Speaker 2: I wonder how he's going to react, and I got
Speaker 2: he played an absolutely blinder going up to him in
Speaker 2: the caffe and he was blowing kisses, he was checking
Speaker 2: on him. He was all fake, all fake for the attention.
Speaker 2: He was like, he's not baptized, and people are like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, he knows, you know, if he's been
Speaker 2: here before. He was getting money from people. It was
Speaker 2: a total performance art piece. So I don't even know
Speaker 2: if you're represently all of I'd say most people in
Speaker 2: my family who have died. Yeah, I saw them in
Speaker 2: coffins in the house.
Speaker 1: Like and can I ask you have a very well
Speaker 1: serious question. Yes, having seen lots of people you love
Speaker 1: as bodies in the house, when you look at them,
Speaker 1: do you think, oh, they're gone? Like as in is it?
Speaker 1: How do you feel so spiritually about these.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is actually it does actually show that the
Speaker 2: person is gone, because I mean they've done the whole
Speaker 2: embalming thing to them and all that jazz. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: do actually know that they're gone. But then I have
Speaker 2: done the whole thing of like I would say like
Speaker 2: goodbye to them or whatever are going and have a
Speaker 2: little chat with them. I kind of like, we'll not
Speaker 2: like that, but you know what I mean. But yeah,
Speaker 2: and then like some others, you would see where the
Speaker 2: dead person looks totally mad. You kind of have to
Speaker 2: say to people on the slide, what do they do
Speaker 2: to her face? They have to put mad makeup on
Speaker 2: it that she's never wear like this. They're like, Krannie's
Speaker 2: looking real glad. What's that why she got lashes on?
Speaker 2: So yeah, maybe i'd say my because my dad was
Speaker 2: so into funerals. We were like you to like you
Speaker 2: should get a blog or someth because he would come
Speaker 2: back and he would review the funeral for us, like
Speaker 2: there's different points that are you know, good, bad or whatever.
Speaker 2: So a good eulogy is very important, and you have
Speaker 2: to have humor in the eulogy as well. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: know you can't just be it's nice touch. This is
Speaker 2: it's a nice touch. If there is a young member
Speaker 2: of the family crying, that's quite good, but nobody wailing.
Speaker 2: We don't want anyone wailing. We want a little bit
Speaker 2: of like emotion, but not not like banging on the
Speaker 2: coffin kind of like mad stuff.
Speaker 1: Does he do a point system for the food for
Speaker 1: the sandwiches?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, point system for the food. You know, it's
Speaker 2: kind of two soup and sandwiches, so it's very basic stuff.
Speaker 2: So he's kind of if they're getting that wrong, he's annoyed.
Speaker 2: And then turn out would be very important, like a
Speaker 2: massive turnout. And who's carrying the coffin as well? Also
Speaker 2: we want to know because there will be things like, no,
Speaker 2: the eldest son wasn't carrying the coffin, what was going
Speaker 2: on there? Gossipy drama as well, like it's got everything.
Speaker 1: I'd like your dad to do that blog like YouTube, youtubeanu, way,
Speaker 1: it just does I'm here, here's the spread.
Speaker 2: Look at these sandwiches and the rosery beats and stuff
Speaker 2: like that. Yeah, but he talks about his own funeral constantly,
Speaker 2: and sometimes we would say Tom if he's annoying it.
Speaker 2: We would say you better shut your face because we're
Speaker 2: judge your funeral if you don't pipe down like he
Speaker 2: hates you know, the flowers with the like dad, Yes,
Speaker 2: he hates them, right, and we're like, we'll get them.
Speaker 2: You don't shut your face. Piped out fucking Dad Bouquet. Yeah,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a threat.
Speaker 1: What do you think happens when you die? Do you
Speaker 1: think there's enough to learn?
Speaker 2: Oh? I do think probably nothing. I wish, I know,
Speaker 2: I wish I could believe in Look parts we do believe,
Speaker 2: and I do talk to dead people that I know
Speaker 2: and all that stuff, but I kind of feel like, oh,
Speaker 2: nothing happens. But I do believe that whether you're cremated
Speaker 2: or whatever, I do believe that it is good to
Speaker 2: go back into the ground in some way and feed
Speaker 2: into the earth, and kind of I do believe in that.
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, did you just say I do talk
Speaker 1: to dead people. I don't know, but I do know that.
Speaker 1: I was like, that's a big it's a big reveal.
Speaker 1: I don't believe his stuff, but I do talk to
Speaker 1: loads of dead strangers who visit me in this scary room.
Speaker 1: It seems like you're quite connected. Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: see dead people, but I'm not like into.
Speaker 2: No, I don't mean pig long chats like. I just
Speaker 2: mean little like if I see things like you love that,
Speaker 2: but I'm not. I'm not saying it out loud. I'm
Speaker 2: not saying on the out loud like soietly to yourself.
Speaker 2: It's not loud.
Speaker 1: My head were staring at someone I see.
Speaker 2: I think it's so hard because I know, well, not
Speaker 2: that I know, I don't know, but I don't think
Speaker 2: it is real. At the same time, as a kid,
Speaker 2: they told me by myself, I set up an altar
Speaker 2: in my room. My mother, who's didn't very unusual at
Speaker 2: the time in our generation, but she didn't go to
Speaker 2: mass so she was just like, what is this kid doing,
Speaker 2: Like she's building an l in the room. I just
Speaker 2: I kind of. I love the idea of it all.
Speaker 2: I think it is lovely. Yeah, it's a good story, Bush.
Speaker 2: I know my heart of hers is probably not real.
Speaker 1: Well listen, am dooran. Yeah you're wrong. It is real.
Speaker 1: You have been talking to dead people and there is
Speaker 1: a heaven. Okay, Yeah, and they're very excited to see you.
Speaker 1: Welcome there. You made it, and it's filled with your
Speaker 1: favorite thing. What's your favorite thing?
Speaker 2: Like I say, my electric blanket?
Speaker 1: Okay, do you know what? It's pretty great because the
Speaker 1: ground you can walk around it barefoot and it's like
Speaker 1: electric blankets your fear always warm and cozy. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: there's like sofas and bed offices and everything is everything's
Speaker 1: made of electric blankets, everything you touches, So it's pretty great.
Speaker 1: And you can roll around, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like it's always like a trampoline park, but filled with
Speaker 1: electric blanket love her. Yeah, pretty great. And it's so
Speaker 1: warm there though sometimes you're like turn it down a bit,
Speaker 1: you know, I loah, and you're chatting away to dead
Speaker 1: people as usual, and they're all they're all very excited
Speaker 1: to see you lovely, yeah, and they want to talk
Speaker 1: to you about your life, but they want to talk
Speaker 1: about your life through the medium of film. What's the
Speaker 1: first film that you remember seeing.
Speaker 2: The first film I remember seeing is All Dogs Go
Speaker 2: to Heaven.
Speaker 1: Wow done Blue.
Speaker 2: Yes, I think I must have been like six. I
Speaker 2: don't see the films before. This is my first. I'm
Speaker 2: pretty sure it was my first time ever going to
Speaker 2: cinema where with my cousin were sitting in the back
Speaker 2: of the car. She got sick down or bus. It
Speaker 2: was only twenty months away from the house. I was, so,
Speaker 2: she has wrecked the vibe, you know. But I don't
Speaker 2: know if she did, but I know. I got at
Speaker 2: the cinema. The used to have the boxes of sweets,
Speaker 2: I think like fruit gones and pastures and little boxes.
Speaker 2: Opened the box it was in like a little brown bag,
Speaker 2: and I was like, Wow, this is so sophisticated. I
Speaker 2: didn't particularly like. I wasn't totally gone on the movie.
Speaker 2: It wasn't like a case off. I went to see
Speaker 2: this movie and I was now obsessed with the dog
Speaker 2: and it wasn't that cute. Well he's like a gangster,
Speaker 2: isn't it. It's yeah, but I think I got better
Speaker 2: with making the animals cute and animation. It wasn't that cute.
Speaker 2: And I think he was dead or something. Actually, I
Speaker 2: think he was deafinitly came back to life. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: think he gets killed. Like it's like a sort of
Speaker 2: gangster story, like he's been yeah something, yeah something fact
Speaker 2: to do something ourselves something or whatever. But yes, it
Speaker 2: wasn't really the film. I was kind of in my
Speaker 2: own head as a kid, probably like six out of ten.
Speaker 2: But it was the whole experience of going to the
Speaker 2: cinema that I love.
Speaker 1: Like your dad at a funeral, it's not very cute,
Speaker 1: it's but you know, but I.
Speaker 2: Did like yeah, and you see, I was a bit
Speaker 2: scared of dogs. I wasn't a now two dogs, but
Speaker 2: I wasn't a dog person because our neighbor had a
Speaker 2: dog who was like an Alsatian and a't somebody's hat
Speaker 2: and was totally this hyper dog. So it's, oh, it
Speaker 2: was really sketch about dogs.
Speaker 1: You know. I had a rabbish, so I think the
Speaker 1: dog is an alsation, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, maybe there's some sort of trauma there in
Speaker 2: the background. But yeah, it was very I remember it
Speaker 2: was very exciting, even the puke, and like in fairness,
Speaker 2: the puke kind of hyped up the drama a little,
Speaker 2: you know, a puke of the cares high stakes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that certainly brought something to it, didn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. So I had no idea who
Speaker 2: I had no idea who Burt Reynolds was, so it
Speaker 2: kind of meant nothing to me. I wish i'd known
Speaker 2: at the time. I wouldn't. I wouldn't have appreciated it.
Speaker 2: As six yearld I wouldn't have appreciated Burt Reynolds. But
Speaker 2: maybe as a woman, I would have been.
Speaker 1: Like, as a scary dog, i'd put you off.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or but I don't know, like, had they really used,
Speaker 2: you know, already established actors as voiceovers.
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't a regular occurrence. Yeah, that's the real thing.
Speaker 1: It might have been one of the first occasions of
Speaker 1: a movie started doing yeah, doing their voice Interesting. What
Speaker 1: is the film that scared you the most? And do
Speaker 1: you like being scared?
Speaker 2: Oh? Big scared? And I remembers so vividly the film
Speaker 2: that scared me the most was Witches Grow Dout. Yeah, right,
Speaker 2: So I went to a friend's house for her birthday.
Speaker 2: My dad dropped me, but dad was always late, and
Speaker 2: this house was like, honestly, got like ten minutes in
Speaker 2: care we're late, We're like twenty minutes late, and people saying, no,
Speaker 2: we didn't think you were coming, all this usual thing.
Speaker 2: So it's kind of like they're waiting for me to
Speaker 2: start the film. And I kind of heard about the
Speaker 2: film through the grapevine, and I gave the speech beforehand.
Speaker 2: I give the speech. I say to everyone, guys, just
Speaker 2: remember it's just a film. Was the most scared. The
Speaker 2: most scared the bit at the when witches are having
Speaker 2: the meetings and they kind of let off the wigs
Speaker 2: and everything. Yeah, I was just like fuck because I
Speaker 2: believed in all that ship. When I was a kid,
Speaker 2: I believed in fairies. I wrote letters to the fairies.
Speaker 2: I had like back and forth letters with the fairies.
Speaker 2: My imagination was a fairies replied, the fairies replied, yeah,
Speaker 2: and little tiny handwriting and little tiny letters, so they're real. Yeah,
Speaker 2: obviously they're real. But we had all correspondence. Then WILLIAMT
Speaker 2: what were you chatting about? That's their bread and butter.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Did you ask what they're doing with the teeth houses?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. The building has just kind of fairy stuff.
Speaker 2: And then they came and visited me one night. I
Speaker 2: was in my bedroom and I had the light on
Speaker 2: and the curtains open, and they came and visited me.
Speaker 2: Now skeptics would say they were mouths, but I know
Speaker 2: they were fairies.
Speaker 1: Listen to muffs leave and now they left.
Speaker 2: I can't sleep more trying to keep up with the
Speaker 2: letters from them up they'd have to. They had like
Speaker 2: tiny little envelopes. Yeah, and the page would be covered
Speaker 2: in highlighters kind of we kind of like the highlighters
Speaker 2: my dad had. It would be like govern highlighters and
Speaker 2: lovely little writing or whatever. So witches. To me, that
Speaker 2: was just like, yeah, bring it on. And I totally,
Speaker 2: I totally believed it. And I think Angelica Houston as
Speaker 2: a witch unbelievable casting. I was just in that completely
Speaker 2: and I was so scared, but I was so adamant
Speaker 2: about I was scared, and I was kind of checking
Speaker 2: in on other people scarier.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's just remember what I said at the beginning,
Speaker 1: Remember when I intried this film, it's just a film? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: is it?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Let me quickly, Yeah right.
Speaker 2: I loved to the pherries and see what they think
Speaker 2: keep the witches away. But I don't remember anything else
Speaker 2: about the party. I just remember that as been like
Speaker 2: a very intense experience. I just remember the birthday girl.
Speaker 2: I don't remember any of the other people, but yeah,
Speaker 2: proper like ship.
Speaker 1: Now about what about what's the film that made you cry?
Speaker 2: The nice, easy easy filmina? Fuck, I'm talking about cry.
Speaker 2: I'm talking like ball ball sometimes I'll even watch that
Speaker 2: when I feel like I need to cry, like I
Speaker 2: need to get it out of me. It's like, obviously
Speaker 2: a true story that's not even important because everyone in Ireland,
Speaker 2: take her, knows that story of women having to being
Speaker 2: forced to like you know, give up their children and
Speaker 2: their babies being adopted by rich Americans. But I think
Speaker 2: Judy Dench as that character of that is a very
Speaker 2: particular Irish woman and it's shown so well in the
Speaker 2: film where the character of Martin at certain points early
Speaker 2: on he thinks that she's like a little bit silly
Speaker 2: or a bit like dim and how she's said to everyone, oh,
Speaker 2: you're one in a million around and he's like, yeah, slagger,
Speaker 2: like how can everyone be one in a million or whatever?
Speaker 2: But then when she says truim about he's kind of
Speaker 2: been a bit of a stand office with the staff
Speaker 2: at the hotel, and she says to oh, you should
Speaker 2: be nice to the people you know, because you never
Speaker 2: know who you'll meet on the way back down. You
Speaker 2: all people should know that, Martin, and you can see
Speaker 2: he really goes and oh yeah, but so like she's
Speaker 2: a bit like scatty and whatever, but she's actually got
Speaker 2: all this great wisdom and just that the whole thing
Speaker 2: will be like very kind of scatty, and she's what
Speaker 2: time is, where am I going? And what did I
Speaker 2: come in here for? And what's going on? I don't know,
Speaker 2: you know, I couldn't be possibly doing that. But then
Speaker 2: on the other side of it, being very smart and
Speaker 2: I don't know, just haven't like a kind of a
Speaker 2: quiet compassion for other humans that they like don't shout
Speaker 2: about like, but they display through her everyday life, just
Speaker 2: in simple small ways. Is like I have met that
Speaker 2: woman so many times, and just the way that she
Speaker 2: play that is so nice. But then the scene when
Speaker 2: she thinks back of when her son was taken from
Speaker 2: her ball ball bat ball, Oh yeah really, I yeah,
Speaker 2: that's my cry film.
Speaker 1: I think that's a great answer, And that's reminded me
Speaker 1: of what I wanted to ask you earlier. Do you
Speaker 1: think you will do a podcast with your son when
Speaker 1: he's older? Is he jealous of you doing a podcast with.
Speaker 2: No, they don't, they don't care. They've been honest. Sometimes
Speaker 2: I get the bit they're wandering around and they have
Speaker 2: the little bits of videos and stuff like that. But
Speaker 2: I'll only just judge up by them. You know, sometimes
Speaker 2: you can see it in them. Although Ella would never
Speaker 2: I don't need to be a performer, but she likes
Speaker 2: to do, you know, like some people are normal. I
Speaker 2: can just have things as hobbies and other people have
Speaker 2: to take it to the extreme, people to normal people
Speaker 2: that just have hobbies and stuff. Whatever.
Speaker 1: What's the film that you have? It is not critically
Speaker 1: but you.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I know, Mystic Pizza. It's such a shit film.
Speaker 2: It's so shit, it's so good. So Julia Roberts is
Speaker 2: going out with a posh lad and that's a big
Speaker 2: to do. Then Julia Roberts's sister is having an affect.
Speaker 2: She's a babysitter. She's the goody two shoes, she's saving
Speaker 2: money for college or some shy and she's babysit for
Speaker 2: this guy. She's having an affair with him, full of
Speaker 2: don't worry. His wife is she's off doing something. And
Speaker 2: then their friend there's this big to do about. She
Speaker 2: doesn't want to get married, so she runs off the
Speaker 2: wedding and then they stay together, but he's like, oh,
Speaker 2: you just want to have sex, you don't want to
Speaker 2: marry me. All this it's total nonsense. And then in
Speaker 2: the end, the pizza place that they all work in
Speaker 2: gets reviewed by this big que reviewer and it's a
Speaker 2: big deal. And somebody rings the pizza ea and goes,
Speaker 2: can I make a reservation? And they're like reservation whatever. Oh,
Speaker 2: and Julia Robbers characters meant to be like the bad girl.
Speaker 2: Her mother says, he why can't you be more like
Speaker 2: your sister? I love like she's the backer. She's having
Speaker 2: the odd smoke and she's walking around with a four
Speaker 2: pack of cans, you know, like the little American cans.
Speaker 2: She seems pretty chill to me, like she's not doing
Speaker 2: it too crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah you know what I mean, I do. That's how
Speaker 1: you portrayed bad in the eighties. Yeah, yeah, a cigarette
Speaker 1: and it just would have the married, mad life. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she seems to one more troubled.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jenny Rabbit's got two jobs on the guy as well.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure she's working in the Ycht club and
Speaker 2: she's working place.
Speaker 1: She's got great she's the best girls.
Speaker 2: But I love her. If I if that comes out
Speaker 2: or I see it somewhere, I just kind of do
Speaker 2: it like a little giggle to myself. I go here,
Speaker 2: we go comes and he takes I think he takes
Speaker 2: like a tiny bite of the pizza. I'm kind of
Speaker 2: so good. It gives off that kind of thing. It
Speaker 2: was written in an afternoon, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: But it's fine, it's fine.
Speaker 1: What is a film that you used to love but
Speaker 1: you've watched it recently and you've got I don't like
Speaker 1: this anymore?
Speaker 2: Mermaids?
Speaker 1: Hey, how dare you? I loves recently?
Speaker 2: I love. I think I was really sold on the
Speaker 2: casting and the style of it and everything and all
Speaker 2: shares outfits fantastic and Bob Hoskins and beautiful, beautiful and
Speaker 2: beautiful love Christina Richie obviously, I feel like I've watched
Speaker 2: her and I think maybe the same age. Anyway, So Christmas,
Speaker 2: we're all watching movies, and we're all picking movies to
Speaker 2: watch to show the other people, and I picked Mermaids.
Speaker 2: I'm watching it and shoop shooping on the couch.
Speaker 1: Do you intro it to everyone? Did you into it? Like,
Speaker 1: just to be clear, this is a movie? Panic?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I was like, this is good. Yeah, don't be scared. Yeah,
Speaker 2: actually should because that's what happened was we watch it
Speaker 2: and my daughters like Winona Ryder is having relations with
Speaker 2: a man who is well into his twenties. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: I forgot about this bit. And then there's a bit
Speaker 2: where after she's done that, she's had now ride up
Speaker 2: in the belt of the church with this man. She
Speaker 2: goes scoop and she goes drinking and her sister nearly
Speaker 2: drowns in the lake and shares off on a date
Speaker 2: or something. So and she's like, God, this is really
Speaker 2: depressing or whatever. I was like, God, kind it is.
Speaker 2: I thought my memory of it was it was a
Speaker 2: fun movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just isn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so that was a total disaster. I was like,
Speaker 2: oh God, And yeah, there's a lot of there's a
Speaker 2: lot of filler. Christina Ritchie is doing the whole thing
Speaker 2: where she's trying to get the record for holding her
Speaker 2: breath underwater, and chairs just kind of waltzing around the
Speaker 2: gas going I'm going out. Okay.
Speaker 1: We were thinking of the music video to me mates,
Speaker 1: that's what we were thinking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I thought it was quite cute. Chair and
Speaker 2: Bob pasking together and you know, it's cute and it's
Speaker 2: nice whatever, but like, yeah, but not a writer, like
Speaker 2: and her mom totally gives out as well. Her mom's
Speaker 2: just calling her slot and also, I mean, come on,
Speaker 2: and Chare is someone that has kept having to move
Speaker 2: down because all these boyfriends, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: go out of the mouth. But yeah, it wasn't good.
Speaker 2: I have to I think I have to watch on
Speaker 2: my own, you know what I mean, and just double check.
Speaker 2: But Shane and Ellen was just like, this is a
Speaker 2: load of bollocks. This is good.
Speaker 1: Sorry, that's horrible. That's a horrible feeling when you're trying
Speaker 1: to film somewhere and you're like, oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah I was.
Speaker 1: Don't you feel like you made it? Don't you feel Yeah?
Speaker 2: And they didn't. They didn't know it at all, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. I was like, I don't have mermaids,
Speaker 2: you know, I did that whole thing. And I can't
Speaker 2: remember what their movies were, but they're all good, you know,
Speaker 2: they're all good. Of course I whack this one. Else.
Speaker 1: What's the film that means the mice to you? Not
Speaker 1: because the film itself is any good necessarily, yea, the
Speaker 1: experience you had watching it makes it special to you.
Speaker 2: Yes, I think that coyote ugly go on. So my
Speaker 2: friend Laura had seen it and she had said to me,
Speaker 2: She's like, you have to watch this film with me.
Speaker 2: She was like it's so bad. And I was like,
Speaker 2: but you've seen it and she's like, no, but I
Speaker 2: need somebody to experience it with me. I need to
Speaker 2: talk about this with somebody. And I was like, please,
Speaker 2: don't make please and she's like, we're doing it. Like
Speaker 2: we're doing it. So I went over to her house.
Speaker 2: You know, I was saying, I just had Ellen and
Speaker 2: it was me and Ella, right, so like going out
Speaker 2: was like big hassle, and she she totally made it.
Speaker 2: She totally let it go and made it that we
Speaker 2: weren't going to watch this film and that's not what
Speaker 2: we're doing. I get to the house and she starts
Speaker 2: putting it on. I was like, are you fu Now,
Speaker 2: we're not We're not doing it, We're not stuff. We
Speaker 2: watched the whole film. I mean, the cliches are just
Speaker 2: off charts, they're just off chat But we just held
Speaker 2: laughing and we just paused on every detail everything and
Speaker 2: it was just actually the best night ever. I want
Speaker 2: to go out and like do I want to go
Speaker 2: on a few drinks? I want to do something I
Speaker 2: want to meet like some people we sayed it and
Speaker 2: watch the film. It was the funniest thing ever. And
Speaker 2: we still know to this day. We'll still go, my God,
Speaker 2: remember and we will bring we will still bring it up.
Speaker 2: Rhyme song just sends us we've been placed before and
Speaker 2: we've got up to the DJs. So could you just
Speaker 2: just to see the other person? The song?
Speaker 1: What was the song? Come Find the Moonlight?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you contrat So it's yeah, it's just so cliche,
Speaker 2: but it's funny, you know what I mean. A tough
Speaker 2: girl at the bunch turns up and one of these
Speaker 2: stars she's got a mixtape, and.
Speaker 1: That's fine.
Speaker 2: The dad and the dead Mom. It's always a dead mom. Yeah,
Speaker 2: always a dead man. Very important. Yeah, I still like it.
Speaker 2: I still watch it like well.
Speaker 1: I sometimes I don't know if I've talked about this before.
Speaker 1: I was once and I'll never do it again. I
Speaker 1: once had to watch a lot of films and for
Speaker 1: like a panel, oh yes, yeah, and they were all
Speaker 1: really boring, really boring. And then there was one film
Speaker 1: that was like made by this guy. I think he
Speaker 1: was a finance guy. He'd used his own money. He
Speaker 1: was like the star and the writer and it was wild. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it was so wild, and like I think he'd
Speaker 1: even hired a sex worker at some point of course
Speaker 1: sex scene with him and it was fucking why, like
Speaker 1: he was sort of fascinatingly uncharismatic.
Speaker 2: End Oh my god, and like the dialogue was.
Speaker 1: Bad and that everything about it was like sort of
Speaker 1: technically bad. But I went back to the panel and
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm voting for this film, and everyone
Speaker 1: thought I was joking. I said no, I said, I
Speaker 1: wasn't bored for a second. This was I was so
Speaker 1: locked in to the experience, like has in I think
Speaker 1: this is art. I can't explain it. But I said,
Speaker 1: all the other films that we've watched that are good
Speaker 1: were so boring. I was bored. I couldn't wait for
Speaker 1: them to end. I said, this one, I never wanted
Speaker 1: it to stop. Like there was something about it was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: there was like this is a very unique take on
Speaker 1: the world, like as in, I've never seen it. I've
Speaker 1: never seen anything like this. It's so original and we
Speaker 1: can laugh about how bad it is and stuff, but
Speaker 1: like I'm genuinely into it, like I'm watching, Yeah, i'd
Speaker 1: watch I want people to see, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: I think this is a good film.
Speaker 2: I think it's so nice, Like the guy what was
Speaker 2: the guy who did the movie High Mark Room, Like
Speaker 2: that's very good movie. That's it's very entertaining.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's lasted. There's something in it, and I
Speaker 1: do think it's that it's the like uniqueness of vision
Speaker 1: where you sort of go, you know, we talk about
Speaker 1: good films that unique, but there's at the other end
Speaker 1: of the scale. There's this guy making this thing that's
Speaker 1: wild and I've never there's something in his brain that's
Speaker 1: trying to be expressed. It's the thing that you couldn't
Speaker 1: you couldn't do a sketch of it. It's so specific
Speaker 1: that I'm like, I think this guy's a genus.
Speaker 2: I think you're still making movies.
Speaker 1: Well, I got voted off the panel, so I didn't
Speaker 1: get to give him the award that I thought he
Speaker 1: deserved for best time they ever got released. But really
Speaker 1: a wonderful thing in Good Luck, Good Look too, what
Speaker 1: is the film we most relate to.
Speaker 2: It's a bit of a stretch. Absolute I've never really
Speaker 2: looked at movies and go, oh, there's me. There is
Speaker 2: one film The Snapper. So The Snapper is based on
Speaker 2: a book by Ruddy Doyle and it's set in Dublin
Speaker 2: and the story is about a young girl, Sharon, who
Speaker 2: gets pregnant. But I've read about those times. So Roddy
Speaker 2: Joan had a couple of books that got made into movies.
Speaker 2: He had the commitments, he had the van But for
Speaker 2: me at the time of those films where like coming
Speaker 2: Out was so cool to see an Irish film and
Speaker 2: people with like Irish accents, and you know, most of
Speaker 2: his stuff is like set in Dublin, so they had
Speaker 2: Dublin accents and like they had like the turn of
Speaker 2: phrase and stuff like you know what I mean. It
Speaker 2: was so interesting to me. And then I would call myself,
Speaker 2: I'm as Sharon, like I got pregnant. I pulled the Sharon,
Speaker 2: you know. So it's a lovely movie where like there's
Speaker 2: loads of cursing in it, which is nice, but you know,
Speaker 2: as I had never heard cursing the way I would
Speaker 2: curse or my family would curse, you know, like if
Speaker 2: you're watching American films like god damn son of a bitch. Well,
Speaker 2: but well, I think of cursing. I think of people
Speaker 2: using it as punctuation or in a nice way, you know,
Speaker 2: Oh you're silly, fucker or whatever like that. It's not
Speaker 2: like an aggressive thing. So there's loads of cursing and whatever.
Speaker 2: And she has a really sweet relationship with her dad.
Speaker 2: There's loads of little attention to detail things where there's
Speaker 2: a cyclist is a ken roach who was like big
Speaker 2: at the time, and the sow and her brother, Sharon's
Speaker 2: brother is like doing laps around the estate and the
Speaker 2: dad is timing but he's not timing him, and he's like,
Speaker 2: you know, he's pretending that he's timing, but he's getting distracted.
Speaker 2: Not just these little sweet details, but there's loads of
Speaker 2: comedy in it as well, but there's dark bits in it.
Speaker 2: And so yeah, that would be a film that I
Speaker 2: would watch and would say least probably once a year.
Speaker 2: She's not it's not like that, she's totally me, but
Speaker 2: it's just like, you know, oh, they're just I know
Speaker 2: the boss.
Speaker 1: You know, that's nice. I like that. I think that's
Speaker 1: a perfect answer.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, yeah, but I've never I don't really I
Speaker 2: can't really think of movies that I've seen that I
Speaker 2: relate to.
Speaker 3: I think you've done it, You've got it correct.
Speaker 1: Okay, what's the sexiest rill we've ever seen?
Speaker 2: Oh? I know, embarrassed spot, I have to go by
Speaker 2: goat and what I felt at the time crew intentions.
Speaker 2: I thought was super sexy at the time, nothing wrong
Speaker 2: with that, and mad mad about Ryan Philip. I just
Speaker 2: thought he was so sexy, just really just I've never
Speaker 2: not really until I blant going to the whole thing
Speaker 2: into blondes, but any blondes that I've been into, I've
Speaker 2: always been like, he's an absolute ride. So yeah, I
Speaker 2: think it was just like a lot of attractive people. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I still watch it. I was still watching as well.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, what we've got a sub category here,
Speaker 1: traveling down is worrying. Why what's the film you found
Speaker 1: arousing that you weren't sure you should?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it was hard to narrow down. I have
Speaker 2: three or three and I can do them quickly. Gene
Speaker 2: Hackman and anything. Just shouting and he's far too old
Speaker 2: for me, But I just love it. Love. I just
Speaker 2: love the idea of him shouting at me. Will you
Speaker 2: wanka when he shouts at Charlie? You get nothing? Love
Speaker 2: that aggressive again? Then third? What not aggressive? Devin Sawyer
Speaker 2: in Casper. He appears in it for like five seconds
Speaker 2: at the end. And little Boy then guys, little Boy,
Speaker 2: the non coastalttle boy what he actually looks like? And
Speaker 2: I kind of embarrassedly another blonde. But I followed Devin
Speaker 2: Say for a good while because he did the Final
Speaker 2: Destination movies and stuff. Yes, I was kind of hooked
Speaker 2: on him for a while. But yeah, Gene Hackman, I'd
Speaker 2: say I would put at the top, just something very
Speaker 2: sexy about him.
Speaker 1: Why do you like being shouted at? Were not shouting
Speaker 1: out enough? Will you shout that too much? No?
Speaker 2: Shout that loads? I think I just like it. There's
Speaker 2: a Baratdtery that likes the energy of people being angry. Passionate.
Speaker 2: Anger is so close, aren't they.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Also, if you if you conduct most of your
Speaker 1: business for a bed, there's a certain laid back vibe
Speaker 1: to you that probably needs the gelt of someone shutting you.
Speaker 1: Oh you see that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like I need I need somebody. I'm
Speaker 2: look fan. I don't think Gene Hackman, but I need
Speaker 2: somebody like that. I need somebody who's liable to expect. Yeah,
Speaker 2: just I go off on a runt. Maybe not like
Speaker 2: Gene Hackman star because he was probably ranted about stuff
Speaker 2: that wasn't important. But I don't mind people losing the
Speaker 2: head about a parking situation or something, right, I quite
Speaker 2: enjoy that, Like I find quin quite funny if somebody
Speaker 2: is getting angry and ranting about a trivial thing, I
Speaker 2: quite enjoy that, and it makes me feel excited.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a really interesting someone comes in here,
Speaker 1: it's just fucking parking and fucking and I fucking gave
Speaker 1: me a ticket. You were like, let's work.
Speaker 2: Yeah? Is that smiling? I was like energy. I just like,
Speaker 2: it's a bit of energy, but it's something, you know,
Speaker 2: it's a.
Speaker 1: Bit of life in it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. Maybe what it is is I
Speaker 2: starting I wonder if I could distract them out this
Speaker 2: bad mood with sex, with sex. Yeah, yeah, maybe that's
Speaker 2: what I'm thinking. I don't know, but yeah, Gene happened.
Speaker 2: Oh mad about him as a kid, watched so many
Speaker 2: movies where had no idea what's going on. I was like,
Speaker 2: did they win the case? I don't know. Gene happens,
Speaker 2: love love him so sexy?
Speaker 1: Did he did he get addicted to heroin? It doesn't matter, he.
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter, doesn't matter. Yeah, you know, he's one of
Speaker 2: the for me. And then I recently saw someone there
Speaker 2: was some picture of oh this gene Hacker. Now he's
Speaker 2: like one into his eighties, and it was just like
Speaker 2: going to shop wearing a cat was a grand Leave
Speaker 2: my gene Hack alone.
Speaker 1: You let him shout at me in peace. What's the
Speaker 1: objectively the greatest film of all time?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yes, I mean it's just so difficult, isn't it.
Speaker 2: I'm going to go with now Voyager.
Speaker 1: Wow, I don't think that's come up respect.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I just feel like it has everything. So
Speaker 2: my mom when I was a kid, would that would
Speaker 2: have been her like perfect afternoon watching an old movie.
Speaker 2: And at a certain point in my life when I'd
Speaker 2: walk into the certain you were watching a movie below,
Speaker 2: Well that's the day gone, because you know those movies
Speaker 2: are on Telly and with the ad breaks, it's six hours,
Speaker 2: it's six hours. But then she actually got me to
Speaker 2: watch a few of the movies with her and now Voyager,
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I was just in an hook line
Speaker 2: and Sacre. But she goes on the cruise and she
Speaker 2: has the outfits all like laid out with all the
Speaker 2: different labels from her friend, just her saying mother. Just
Speaker 2: I gets so giddy just hearing that Rebecca with her
Speaker 2: and it would be a close second. But yeah, I
Speaker 2: think everyone should watch that movie. I'm not a big
Speaker 2: movie headed like at all. I don't know anything about films,
Speaker 2: but I just think that's a total delight.
Speaker 1: Really good, really good chat. What's the film you could
Speaker 1: or have watched the most over and over again.
Speaker 2: I have watched Catch Me If you Can, over and
Speaker 2: over and over and over again. I just love it.
Speaker 1: Can I tell you something? That film Catch Me If
Speaker 1: you Can, I've only seen once. I found it. It
Speaker 1: made me sad for a whole week. That film. I
Speaker 1: think it's one of the saddest films I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: Really yeah. I was like, it looks like Jaunty and
Speaker 1: it's Jaunty Credit Secret and it's and it's like, here's
Speaker 1: this fun film. But for me, it was a film
Speaker 1: about a guy who's so devastated by his parents' divorce
Speaker 1: that he runs away and does all these things, but
Speaker 1: the whole time he's just sad about his dad. And
Speaker 1: then he never reconnects with his dad, and then his
Speaker 1: dad dies it's the saddest story.
Speaker 2: But he's fine after he moves on with his life
Speaker 2: and he has a happy life.
Speaker 1: So I say he's then working for the FBI. I
Speaker 1: like the whole things, Like I feel like that what
Speaker 1: the subtext of the film is terrible father son's story
Speaker 1: that never gets resolved, Like all of this is him
Speaker 1: acting out because he misses his dad.
Speaker 2: Right, I enjoyed the sadness.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, so I'm not wrong. Right, it is a
Speaker 1: really depressive with the jaunty sad.
Speaker 2: It is really sad. But I feel like I don't know,
Speaker 2: there's something about him, Like I totally understand what you're
Speaker 2: saying about all that's if there's something about it with
Speaker 2: him just being like so lost and everything that I'm
Speaker 2: not that I enjoy, but like i feel like I'm
Speaker 2: totally there with him and I've done the whole thing
Speaker 2: of like I watched all the interviews with the real guy,
Speaker 2: and then I know, like it's kind of you know,
Speaker 2: a lot of it isn't true and whatever, it's not true.
Speaker 2: It's only a film.
Speaker 1: Brush I told you this at the beginning when we
Speaker 1: sat down to watch it. Yeah, maybe I think it's
Speaker 1: the sort of marketing and presentation of that film. I
Speaker 1: guess blindsided me because had I gone in going hey,
Speaker 1: you're a boat to watch really heavy.
Speaker 2: The clips of him walking through the airport with their hostess,
Speaker 2: and you're.
Speaker 1: Like, this is true sexy scene with Jennifer.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I take as well at the appeals because
Speaker 2: there is a part of me where I've always had
Speaker 2: this little thing where I would love to rub a bank. Yes,
Speaker 2: you know, I would love I would love.
Speaker 1: To Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2: I think that's not most people feel that, don't they.
Speaker 2: It's not for the money, Well like to have the money,
Speaker 2: but it's just for the like adrenaline. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 2: love this so good?
Speaker 1: What's the listening? Know? What's the worst film we've ever seen?
Speaker 2: Okay, we're still and I wasn't going to say this,
Speaker 2: but it's just I'm going to have to follow my
Speaker 2: heart dark night. Hate it, hate it?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know. People won't like that.
Speaker 1: People are going to like this. What are your reasons?
Speaker 2: I hate it? Because so I have to put in context.
Speaker 2: I went to see it. It was actually the first sight
Speaker 2: of it opening. I mean, shame with there. I don't
Speaker 2: know how we ended up getting tickets. We didn't know
Speaker 2: what was going on. We did, and there's people in
Speaker 2: the cinema, they were all dressed up. What is this
Speaker 2: the nerd fest? What's happening here? And we've got tickets
Speaker 2: and people were like, you know, it's this whole experiencing
Speaker 2: of people who been hollering and whatever. I thought it
Speaker 2: was terrible. I look, I like Batman. Yeah, Michael Keaton
Speaker 2: is the best one. I stuck around for George Clooney, Okay,
Speaker 2: Michelle fight for his fantastic, beautiful, sexy, amazing, so exciting.
Speaker 2: My problem now with Batman is it's boring. Where's the humor?
Speaker 2: Where is the humor that we all grew up with?
Speaker 2: With Batman? We know jokers fucked in the head, we
Speaker 2: know that, Where's where's the joke A part of Joker?
Speaker 2: I mean Jim Carrey as Riddler and all that. Like,
Speaker 2: I was on board and now it's just gone, it's
Speaker 2: gotten stupid. It's annoyed me. Now it's actually annoyed me.
Speaker 2: And it's too fucking long. Too long, And the way
Speaker 2: people are talking about it, they want to get a grip.
Speaker 2: I don't know that. I have no idea that film
Speaker 2: as well no, put it in context. What I will
Speaker 2: say is where we went to see the movie, we
Speaker 2: had just started ish seeing each other, so there may
Speaker 2: have been the tension of we want to have sex
Speaker 2: after this film? When is this film?
Speaker 1: Right? And it's not a sexy film, no.
Speaker 2: But the kind of like when is this going to
Speaker 2: be over? You know? So it's just now and I
Speaker 2: know people don't love it whatever, but vision like it.
Speaker 2: City Range is another one. I don't know what was
Speaker 2: going on there. I left the cinema.
Speaker 1: Did you have a nice time after you left The
Speaker 1: Dark Knight?
Speaker 2: Yes? We did. Yeah, I just remember I can even
Speaker 2: remember now fidgeting in my seat getting annoyed.
Speaker 1: What is the film you're in? Comedy? You're very funny,
Speaker 1: you're a comedian. What's the film that made you laugh
Speaker 1: the most?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, so hard? How do you know what? So
Speaker 2: many on the list? Well, I'm just gonna go with
Speaker 2: the one that I can remember really laughing, like just
Speaker 2: really really laughing at It was scary movie. I was
Speaker 2: still the clever but just sometimes I feel like with
Speaker 2: comedy or funny things, people can get too snobby about it,
Speaker 2: you know. I like sometimes this silliness and all that
Speaker 2: is exactly like I still talk about, oh, you know,
Speaker 2: my strong hand, and I like it just kills me.
Speaker 2: It's just kill me. I remember when I watched this,
Speaker 2: I just roared, roared ord Ard. But like, I mean,
Speaker 2: it's so hard to pick your favorite foody film, but
Speaker 2: I feel like it's one of those words. It's not
Speaker 2: going to be like on the Tellia Christmas or kind
Speaker 2: of pop up. So I haven't seen it recently. Maybe
Speaker 2: I could go back and watch it. No good, but
Speaker 2: I just remember like screat like just laughing my head
Speaker 2: off at that.
Speaker 1: It's funny. Emma Dorian, you have been wonderful. However, when
Speaker 1: you were eighty four years old and you went up
Speaker 1: the stairs, you had a hair dryer. You'd been using
Speaker 1: it downstairs. You wrapped it up. You left it in
Speaker 1: the middle of the stairs to remind yourself take that
Speaker 1: upstairs when you go up later. You made a cup
Speaker 1: of tea. You had the tea, then you walked up
Speaker 1: the stairs. You stepped over the hair dryer, just carried on,
Speaker 1: went upstairs, and then you went to your bed office.
Speaker 1: You haunted it for a bit and then you were like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'd like another cup of tea. So you come down
Speaker 1: the stairs, you step onto the hair dryer, you fall
Speaker 1: to You try and balance yourself, but you fall forwards
Speaker 1: and your head goes down the stairs. You break your neck,
Speaker 1: but the way you land, it's quite like beautiful. Your
Speaker 1: hair sort of cascades over your face. The hair is
Speaker 1: actually covering the absolute load of blood that is pouring
Speaker 1: out of your skull. But don't worry about that, cause
Speaker 1: the hall looks great. And anyway, I'm walking past with
Speaker 1: a coffee, you know what I'm like, And I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh Jesus over, your hair looks beautiful. And then I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: hang on, there's something about the way you're lying doesn't
Speaker 1: seem quite right. And I look and there's a pool
Speaker 1: of blood is appearing around me. I'm like, oh, I
Speaker 1: think she's dead. Actually a fuck. Anyway, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: get you in this coffin, but there's more of you
Speaker 1: than I was expecting because there's blood is congealed with
Speaker 1: the wooden floor, so I'm having to chop up the
Speaker 1: floorboards to get you out and have to chop you
Speaker 1: up into bits, chop me up, chopping, get your stuff
Speaker 1: you in this coffin to use my elbows like this,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, and stuff you'll in. There's no room
Speaker 1: in this coffee there. There's only enough room to slide

Speaker 1: to the other side. What film are you taking to
