Speaker 1: Look out. It's only films to be buried with the Resurrection. Hello,
Speaker 1: and welcome to films to be Buried with the Resurrection.
Speaker 1: My name is Brett Goldstein. I'm a comedian and actor,
Speaker 1: a writer, a director, a napkin folder, and I love films.
Speaker 1: As Helen Rowland famously once said, you will never win
Speaker 1: if you never begin, and you will never get to
Speaker 1: the end of Reds unless you start it. That's a
Speaker 1: good shout. Actually, it is a surprisingly long film, fair player,
Speaker 1: and a nice one, thank you. Every week I invite
Speaker 1: a special guest over, I tell them they died. Then
Speaker 1: I get them to discuss their life through the films
Speaker 1: that meant the most of them. But not this week.
Speaker 1: This week I use my newly acquired shamanic powers to
Speaker 1: bring back a former guest from there dead and ask
Speaker 1: them twelve new questions. And this week it is the
Speaker 1: comeback of the brilliant co creator, brilliant actor, writer genius
Speaker 1: from Ted Lasso coach Beard himself is the brilliant mister
Speaker 1: Brendon Hunt. Now, normally I would say to go to
Speaker 1: the Patreon at patreon dot com forward slash breakgastein where
Speaker 1: you'll get an extra twenty minutes with Brendan. You get
Speaker 1: a secret, you get a video. You can find it
Speaker 1: all at patreon dot com, Forward slash break golasting. However,
Speaker 1: this week's Patreon was so special and Brendan shared a
Speaker 1: secret that was very moving and I thought might actually
Speaker 1: be useful to people. So I asked Brendon if he
Speaker 1: would be okay with me including it in the main section,
Speaker 1: and he agreed that he was very happy to and
Speaker 1: then it would be a nice thing. So the patren
Speaker 1: is now included for everyone. I hope you find it
Speaker 1: special in the way that I did. And that's it
Speaker 1: your TV homework. Get caught up on ted Lasso if
Speaker 1: you haven't, it's on the Apple TV Plus app. Also,
Speaker 1: the film we made in twenty fifteen, super Bob, is
Speaker 1: now available in the States on Amazon Prime, So get
Speaker 1: round to watching that romantic comedy. You'll fucking love it.
Speaker 1: So Brendan Hunt, you know him, He's a wonderful man.
Speaker 1: He's a very special boy. We recorded this in the
Speaker 1: office where we are writing season three of ted Lasso.
Speaker 1: It was the end of the day. We went to
Speaker 1: separate offices so we could record it over the zoom
Speaker 1: and get the audio right. However, it's quite mad because
Speaker 1: we're literally next door to each other. I think it's
Speaker 1: a really lovely one and I think you're gonna love it.
Speaker 1: So that is it for now. I very much hope
Speaker 1: you enjoy episode one hundred and seventy four of Films
Speaker 1: to be Buried with the Resurrection. Hello, and welcome to
Speaker 1: Films to be Buried with the Resurrection. It is I
Speaker 1: Brett Goldstein, and I am joined today by an actor,
Speaker 1: a writer, a co creator, a producer, a improver, a
Speaker 1: man that every single person I run into in the
Speaker 1: street seems to know, a father, a lover, and a
Speaker 1: Emmy winner. Please, welcome to the show. The Magnificent. He's back.
Speaker 1: He's back from the dead. It's the brilliant. It's mister
Speaker 1: Brendon Hunt. Thanks for having me. Oh, thanks for doing this, Brendan.
Speaker 1: For the listeners at home. Brendon and I are separated
Speaker 1: by a wall recording this on zoom in offices right
Speaker 1: next door to each other, in a move that frankly
Speaker 1: is stupid. But you know, he cares about his audience. People.
Speaker 1: He wants his precious video. I mean, if we didn't
Speaker 1: do it this way, people couldn't watch me drink this water.
Speaker 1: You don't know how much people And by people, I mean,
Speaker 1: of course Brenda Brown wants to see your face. And
Speaker 1: if we did this face to face, we couldn't record it.
Speaker 1: And Brenda Brown would it be able to watch her
Speaker 1: precious Brendon's face. And that is why we're doing well
Speaker 1: anything for Brenne. Brene deserves it. Now tell me this,
Speaker 1: young Brendan. Yes, we are currently working in the writers'
Speaker 1: room season three of ted Lass. I ever heard of it?
Speaker 1: Have you found since? I can't remember at what point
Speaker 1: we recorded this podcast, but I think it was before
Speaker 1: when you first did it. It was before everything happened
Speaker 1: in terms of before people watch the show. How has
Speaker 1: life changed for you? Tell me one thing that you
Speaker 1: absolutely love about it and one thing that you absolutely
Speaker 1: hate about it. One thing I actually love about it
Speaker 1: is the ease with which I apparently can attend any
Speaker 1: soccer game in this country. And I'm calling it soccer
Speaker 1: because I'm referring to in this country of the country
Speaker 1: of the of the United States, with their curious naming traditions.
Speaker 1: That's been pretty great. Like up till now, I got
Speaker 1: reared as a football fan in Europe and was within
Speaker 1: a lots of Bias games. And then when we were
Speaker 1: doing Ted Lasso, and I was going to tons of
Speaker 1: Arsenal games and in LA and go to you know,
Speaker 1: you used to go to Galaxy games. Now I'll go
Speaker 1: to LAC games. But I've seen and I've been to
Speaker 1: a couple of World Cups, but I've been a precious
Speaker 1: few United States Internationals in the United States. And now
Speaker 1: I've been to two straight wins over Mexico in two
Speaker 1: different cities, and those are the biggest games we got
Speaker 1: over here. And I don't think that happens without Ted Lasso,
Speaker 1: So that part has been great. Can I say, as
Speaker 1: a as a as a witness, the joy that any
Speaker 1: soccer fan has when they see Brendon Hunt is really wonderful?
Speaker 1: Say he is that good? And rightly say you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. I don't like any of that, but
Speaker 1: I will say I've been making these little videos before
Speaker 1: each round of World Cup qualifiers for the US, and
Speaker 1: I think great, and um, I've been saying, you know,
Speaker 1: trying to get people to realize, you know, non soccer fans,
Speaker 1: to realize in twenty twenty six, we're gonna host the
Speaker 1: World Cup. It's a big deal. Get ready. In fact,
Speaker 1: the team we're gonna have on the pitch then the
Speaker 1: team that's already playing now, because they're like eighteen, nineteen
Speaker 1: twenty and they will be in their prime in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six. So I've been saying, these are the guys,
Speaker 1: these are these are the guys, These are the guys.
Speaker 1: Coming back from the last game I was at, which
Speaker 1: was only a week ago, a kid stops me at
Speaker 1: the Chicago airport and says, hey, sir, and he appears
Speaker 1: to be wearing a US Soccer hoodie and I'm like, oh, hi,
Speaker 1: young fans, I had this made because of your videos.
Speaker 1: And look down and it is not at US Soccer crest.
Speaker 1: It says, these are the guys in the mode and
Speaker 1: shape of the US Soccer crest And I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's that's really neat. You fucking invented the slaging that
Speaker 1: is going to take them over the way to the finals.
Speaker 1: I mean, where they will be size sweltering slogans is
Speaker 1: all take right, yeah, I mean, we're coming home. Of
Speaker 1: Football's coming home has worked. It's been nothing but the trophies.
Speaker 1: It's worth so well and you know, arguably makes little sense,
Speaker 1: and yet it's filled with such meaning. Brendan Hunt, you
Speaker 1: have been brought back to life. But when have you
Speaker 1: been brought back to? Is there a time you would
Speaker 1: like to come back to and change something, any regrets
Speaker 1: you'd like to fix or will you come back to now? Um? Gosh,
Speaker 1: GM and I'm coming back to now. Yeah, I'm coming
Speaker 1: back to right now on this moment. I regret. I'm
Speaker 1: not changing that damn thing. I mean, plenty of mistakes,
Speaker 1: plenty of bad choices, but here we are. That's really nice.
Speaker 1: It's nice that you've chosen this moment, and it's also
Speaker 1: nice to know that, armed with all the knowledge you had,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't go back and stop COVID from happening. So
Speaker 1: that's lovely. Thank you, thank you so much from everyone. No,
Speaker 1: that's a lovely, lovely thing to do. I do always
Speaker 1: think that when people said, oh, I'd go back in
Speaker 1: time and kill Hitler or whatever, you think like it's
Speaker 1: a bit more complicated than going back in time. You've
Speaker 1: got to find where he is. You've got to get
Speaker 1: in you know, there's it's not it's not like you know,
Speaker 1: just turn up in front of him, you have to,
Speaker 1: I guess join the Nazi party. Like there's a whole
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on, and like Austria is not
Speaker 1: that small if you want to even go like back
Speaker 1: to baby Hitler. Yeah, like there's more than one maternity
Speaker 1: ward in Austria can just roll up. Yeah. And at
Speaker 1: the time, he's not famous. So when you're asking people going,
Speaker 1: is anyone say I don't hit that the baby and
Speaker 1: was like what, No, he's not even like famous son
Speaker 1: of someone also a very common name in Austria, like hands,
Speaker 1: I'm looking for Hitler. Yeah, I mean, welcome to Spain.
Speaker 1: You're looking for Lopez. What are we talking about? Not
Speaker 1: that easy? No, your rights come back to now well done?
Speaker 1: How is a one last question I think everyone would
Speaker 1: like to know. How is your beautiful son? He's great,
Speaker 1: you had a baby in England, where babies first came from,
Speaker 1: and you have a lovely British son. Beautiful British boy,
Speaker 1: have a lovely British boy. He's mean, he's only he's
Speaker 1: almost ten months old, but like so much drinking, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, and like he can hold it down for
Speaker 1: most of the time, but then suddenly switch flips and
Speaker 1: you do not want to be around him. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: my boy. That's a good boy. He's a lovely, lovely boy.
Speaker 1: How do you feel ten months into being at that?
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel pretty in touch with the magic
Speaker 1: of it. I mean, for lack of a less mushy word,
Speaker 1: I mean, it just it's it's incredible. But I mean,
Speaker 1: the things that people have to say about parenting, you know,
Speaker 1: some are proving to be true and the one is
Speaker 1: and they say like, you'll never love anything more. And
Speaker 1: I've heard them people say like, how can that be.
Speaker 1: I already love as much as I possibly can. People
Speaker 1: say like, what, ha ha, you don't. You don't reappropriate
Speaker 1: that love. You find a whole new section of your
Speaker 1: heart that you didn't know existed, and it's twice as big.
Speaker 1: And I mean, I think I find that all to
Speaker 1: be true. Like he's at a stage right now where
Speaker 1: he's he's very, very social. He loves people as long
Speaker 1: as they don't come in too hot. But so when
Speaker 1: I come home like this a little ritual. Now, I
Speaker 1: come in, I just opened the door and he's almost
Speaker 1: always in the living room, and uh, and I lock
Speaker 1: eyes with him, and he like, look at me. And
Speaker 1: take a moment and this giant smile. It is like
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's literally pure, you know, And you know,
Speaker 1: he's a he's been a little sick this last week.
Speaker 1: He's got a running nose and like that just I
Speaker 1: mean he I mean, there's a lot of kids that
Speaker 1: have a lot of worse off of course, is just
Speaker 1: a running nose. He will be fine, but it's his
Speaker 1: first sickness, and so it just breaks our heart here
Speaker 1: and him like try to breathe as he goes to sleep,
Speaker 1: and he doesn't know how to blow his nose, and
Speaker 1: you know, we had his medieval like SnO sucking device,
Speaker 1: you know, to try to clear his passageways. And anyway,
Speaker 1: he's he's great and he's so funny. And he sat
Speaker 1: up in his crib the other day for the first time,
Speaker 1: all by himself. We saw it on video. It's captured
Speaker 1: by the you know, the very the very advanced surveillance
Speaker 1: to which we subject our children nowadays. Out of love,
Speaker 1: I really really love it. May I may I may
Speaker 1: I say what happened yesterday at the Apple event? Ted
Speaker 1: last I did did a panel yesterday at the new
Speaker 1: Apple store at the Grave and Tim Cook himself was there,
Speaker 1: the wonderful Tim Cook, and Brendan is a very proud father,
Speaker 1: showed him the video of his son sat on a
Speaker 1: cat table, parting, I mean, you make it sound like
Speaker 1: it went to the Hey, I'm missed the seat. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you something, you're you know. I think I
Speaker 1: was showing the video to the lovely Juno Temple. And
Speaker 1: then he started laughing or laugh crying, and then Tim
Speaker 1: Cook over there like what are you looking at? I'm like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: mister Cook, it's just a footage of my child, and
Speaker 1: I like, did a terminator scroll of the correct way
Speaker 1: to say this to a man of Tim Cook statues
Speaker 1: passing gas, which is afraid I never used a really
Speaker 1: good video. They do that, don't they. Okay, Brendon, you've
Speaker 1: come back to earth at this specific time in the world,
Speaker 1: and you've come back. I brought you back to life
Speaker 1: because you know what, I missed you, and I thought, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's worth he's worth keeping around. That to I think
Speaker 1: I've killed him prematurely, so I brought you back. You're
Speaker 1: back to life, but in this life weirdly in a
Speaker 1: way that wasn't dissimilar to the heaven you were in.
Speaker 1: People are still interested in films, despite what TV would
Speaker 1: have you have you believe, And the first thing people
Speaker 1: want to ask you is what was the last film
Speaker 1: you saw? Brendon Hunt, And you know, when people ask
Speaker 1: me that, I think I am forced to tell them.
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, it's one of the movies that Brick
Speaker 1: Colston doesn't really like talking about, but it is the
Speaker 1: actual answer to this question. So I hope he'll forgive
Speaker 1: me when I say, Titanic. Wow, Wow, we were I
Speaker 1: mean absolutely fascinating, fascinating that that's the last film you saw.
Speaker 1: If the reason it's the last film you story because
Speaker 1: you haven't seen in films in the nineteen nineteen ye,
Speaker 1: I'd beel like, yeah, okay, but like this week you
Speaker 1: watch Titanic. Yeah. I mean, I'm presuming the question does
Speaker 1: not mean in the theater. If it doesn't, I have
Speaker 1: a different answer. But at home it will be last
Speaker 1: night last week. We're just flicking through channels and I'm like, fucking, hey, Titanic,
Speaker 1: but channels, you know, through apps and letting me app
Speaker 1: suggest thing and Titanic. I had not seen Titanic since
Speaker 1: it came out in theaters. I remembered being like simultaneously
Speaker 1: impressed and underwhelmed by Titanic. I found it a bit
Speaker 1: too sentimental in a way that did not grab me. Right.
Speaker 1: But now, pretty good movie. That's good. Pretty good movie,
Speaker 1: that Titanic. That's good to ea. Well, since you described
Speaker 1: having a baby a bit like being the grin chey
Speaker 1: stole Christmas and your heart Grys two sides is big
Speaker 1: at then of course you left titan I mean, I
Speaker 1: would imagine with a heart that big Titanic is gonna
Speaker 1: get you. Yeah, I'd like to hear it. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was very vulnerable, You're very vulnerable. What's the what's the
Speaker 1: what's the last money you saw in the cinema? For
Speaker 1: the record, I believe it's the irishman? Oh? Great, maybe
Speaker 1: really is oh man. I was ready to be disappointed,
Speaker 1: but like solid solid, Oh, I was all excited to
Speaker 1: be disappointed. Well, all people talked about with the weird
Speaker 1: CGI and how long it was, and like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: CGI is a little weird, but you know there's spaceships
Speaker 1: can't make noises when they shoot leaders in space either,
Speaker 1: So like we forgive some things and they did not
Speaker 1: feel long. I mean that thing, that thing truck. I
Speaker 1: loved it a great Brendon Hunt. It's a good question
Speaker 1: for you days one. Who do you think should play
Speaker 1: you in the film of your life? A bit torn
Speaker 1: here between the part of me that is an artist
Speaker 1: and wants to just present the truth and then the
Speaker 1: part of me who goes to movies and sees that
Speaker 1: like those people are prettier than normal people. Um so
Speaker 1: I will create a hybrid actor named Steve Bushalom, and
Speaker 1: Steve Bushalomy has been cast in the role. He's perfect.
Speaker 1: Steve is the best actor of his generation. Ah, what
Speaker 1: a great answer. He's got everything. He's got everything that
Speaker 1: makes you up. Listen. And for the record, I think
Speaker 1: if you asked again Brene Brown, who do you think
Speaker 1: should play Brendon Hant, she'd say, lugging Brendon, you ain't
Speaker 1: gonna get hotter. Oh oh, Brene, he's your movie. Start
Speaker 1: right there, knows I'm going to Austin next week. I
Speaker 1: gotta get in touch with Burnee quick. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: you're gonna You're gonna break up our marriage. And that
Speaker 1: would be really bad because he's got a very happy
Speaker 1: marriage and impermanence, you know, impermanence and central concept of
Speaker 1: our lives. I don't know if you two should be.
Speaker 1: It seems risky. Now, next question, speaking of romance, what's
Speaker 1: the most romantic? I had a little trouble with this one,
Speaker 1: but I think the answer is Amalie, Okay, okay, you
Speaker 1: know it's not all like you know, in fact, reultively
Speaker 1: little of it is is you know, like heterosexual couple
Speaker 1: long for each other count romance. But like the movie
Speaker 1: is romantic. It just it's a it's a very romantic
Speaker 1: view of Paris and you know, damn you're the only
Speaker 1: view of it I have. But a romantic view of
Speaker 1: old shut ins and in a romantic view of Forks. Well,
Speaker 1: it's just a very very lovely, lovely and effective movie.
Speaker 1: Not a great Broadway musical. It never made its Broadway
Speaker 1: effect it trying, but it really holds up knowing a
Speaker 1: bit about the plays you write and the things that
Speaker 1: you're interested in, you're a very romantic man, I'd say,
Speaker 1: Brendan Hunt, Well, how do you define romance? I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess there's two definitions, you know. The one is,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of the version of being in love
Speaker 1: with someone that is sort of like a game, you know,
Speaker 1: because it can't just be each other's company for some reason.
Speaker 1: It also has to be well timed boat rides through
Speaker 1: suitably placid seas. But I think there's also, you know,
Speaker 1: just romantic views of things, you know, like one can
Speaker 1: have a romantic view of football, you know, one can
Speaker 1: have a romantic view of technology, I guess. But in
Speaker 1: the end, the most important thing to have a romantic
Speaker 1: view of his people and not even necessarily any individual person.
Speaker 1: And yeah, if that is the case, then I think
Speaker 1: Emilie does that. What is the best film you ever
Speaker 1: saw that you never want to say again? This one too.
Speaker 1: I was like, gosh, I don't know, and then I
Speaker 1: then I thought of the answer, like, oh, that's definitely
Speaker 1: the answer. Dances with Wolves. Really, I think I'm good
Speaker 1: on Dances with Wolves. Yeah, that's funny. Why everything a
Speaker 1: mild curiosity about it? But like I remember loving in
Speaker 1: the theater, like it had been really built up, Like
Speaker 1: this is a truly important American masterpiece from a guy
Speaker 1: who you love, from Bull Durham. You don't think he
Speaker 1: has his in him, but he does. Then, Also, the
Speaker 1: two main characters in this great, great epic of the
Speaker 1: Native American experience are white people. And that's the part
Speaker 1: where like I just I think that's going to be
Speaker 1: a problem going forward. You know, Yes, that's a very
Speaker 1: good point. Yeah. I mean, I bet the technique of
Speaker 1: it all is really great and the acting is still
Speaker 1: really great in this in the cinematography for sure. Um.
Speaker 1: But like, yeah, I'm good, I'm good in that. You
Speaker 1: can you can stop dancing now, thank you. What is
Speaker 1: the best action film you've ever seen? Would you like
Speaker 1: to be in an action film? I think you'd be
Speaker 1: very good in an action film, Um, in the right part. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think there is. You know, there are archetypes that
Speaker 1: I could that I could maybe do, but you know,
Speaker 1: they want to end up in a shitty action film
Speaker 1: or they have something shitty to do in an action film.
Speaker 1: It's very interesting that action and romantic comedy, both of
Speaker 1: them when they're good, amazing, quite easy to do them.
Speaker 1: Shitty ones interested, Yeah, they're both like a bit a
Speaker 1: bit inexplicable when they're inexporable or experable. Um, you know
Speaker 1: the bad one when they when they don't hit Yeah
Speaker 1: that um, And I think the answer is, or my
Speaker 1: answer is a movie that unfortunately have not seen in
Speaker 1: a very long time and arguably has a sequel that
Speaker 1: is the better answer. But I think the answer is
Speaker 1: the Road Warriors. I mean, but now, fucking Fury Road
Speaker 1: is incredible. You'll put in Road Warrior about Fury, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: I am at this at this time, at this time,
Speaker 1: But maybe I'm being romantic by choosing, you know, the
Speaker 1: older DNA, But but I mean, it's and I'm going
Speaker 1: to give it more points for the originality of it.
Speaker 1: You know, it's the first of the movies that look
Speaker 1: like Burning Man, and there's been an awful lot of
Speaker 1: movies that look like Burning Man ever since then, and
Speaker 1: in a few good music videos as well. So yeah,
Speaker 1: Road Warrior. And also, like I you know, I think
Speaker 1: there's like an era of Mel Gibson movies where even
Speaker 1: knowing about him what we know now, you can still
Speaker 1: like him because it was st that we didn't know
Speaker 1: yet and maybe he wasn't that crazy yet, maybe like
Speaker 1: fame drove him mad, but like yeah mad Road Warrior.
Speaker 1: Lethal weapon. What's the cutoff plane? Cut off point is
Speaker 1: probably the Patriot? Okay, I don't really I don't have
Speaker 1: his Ubra in front of me, but it's definitely it's
Speaker 1: definitely before a Passion of the Christ, which he's not
Speaker 1: technically in but still fascinating. So you think it's okay
Speaker 1: up to the Payriot of all the films, if you
Speaker 1: had to, which film do you think you could have made?
Speaker 1: And why? I think Ferris Bueller's Day Off really good
Speaker 1: shout because Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a lot is
Speaker 1: you know, we've talked about a little bit actually before
Speaker 1: I think last time, So pardon me if I'm repeating
Speaker 1: too much stuff. Yeah, and I think I said like
Speaker 1: I'm more Cameron than I was Ferris Bueller. But that's
Speaker 1: why I think this is the answer here, because like
Speaker 1: Ferris Bueller is such a fantasy fulfillment and yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it was a teenager in Chicago in the eighties
Speaker 1: and I'm a teenager from in the eighties, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's sort of anti establishment, a little bit romantic,
Speaker 1: has you know, a stream of consciousness adventures sort of
Speaker 1: and builds to a kind of perfectly executed comedy finale
Speaker 1: that I would certainly have been aspiring to do. You know,
Speaker 1: I mean that movie is that movie is fucking genius,
Speaker 1: but a genius that felt like it was some kind
Speaker 1: of through some kind of you know, heightened prism, a
Speaker 1: version of of of my life or a life I
Speaker 1: wanted to to be living. So yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we talked about this last time,
Speaker 1: but it's interesting you you think you were Cameron Monan Fairies,
Speaker 1: because I'd say, now, you're a Fairis. You're fun. You're
Speaker 1: really good at fun. That's why I always say about you.
Speaker 1: You're fun, like you know how to be fun. Like
Speaker 1: you're fun. You're like good at carry out, you like
Speaker 1: you can do You're like fun. Like you look across
Speaker 1: the rovie like, who's that fun guy? Oh, it's Brended.
Speaker 1: He's fun in the way that I admire and I'm
Speaker 1: jealous of because I think you live across the room,
Speaker 1: you guy. He is not fine. That guy looks and
Speaker 1: then that guy goes home and he wakes up in
Speaker 1: the morning and he's all alone. He's got nothing but
Speaker 1: his pain. Yeah, there's a camera in every Ferris. We
Speaker 1: know this beautiful, beautiful? What film have you pretended to
Speaker 1: like to impress people? I have the same answer for
Speaker 1: this question as I do a question you have coming up? Okay,
Speaker 1: so should I wait until the second question comes and
Speaker 1: tell you, Okay, if it's one film you're gonna say later,
Speaker 1: I'll say that's the film you pretended to like. Okay, great, Yeah, fun,
Speaker 1: isn't it. I'm not going to wager this time. However,
Speaker 1: I will make no wagers whatsoever, and your ability to
Speaker 1: partake my answers I have paid the price literally in
Speaker 1: the path I see any reason I asked you backwards,
Speaker 1: I need to cut a quid. What what is the
Speaker 1: film that you've never seen that you think it's mad?
Speaker 1: You've never seen it? There are so many like I
Speaker 1: feel you feel like you've seen a bunch of movies
Speaker 1: and all the time someone you love a respect says
Speaker 1: and then there's you know, blankety blank, and it's something
Speaker 1: of course you should have seen by that you feel
Speaker 1: like such an ass as person assumes you've seen it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so give me the big which is why I tried to.
Speaker 1: When someone says like, oh, oh blank and like they
Speaker 1: haven't seen it, I don't go you haven't seen it?
Speaker 1: That's just the fucking worst. But Friday, that is mad.
Speaker 1: What's the film you love that you don't expect anyone
Speaker 1: else to like? Ring of Fire? Is Ring of Fire?
Speaker 1: The Dragon film yea with Christian I think that's the
Speaker 1: name of it. I loved it for a brief movie
Speaker 1: and you thought, you thought you've got no, it's not
Speaker 1: Ring of Fire. Yeah, but that's what you mean. Right
Speaker 1: Another time where I'm mentioning a movie that I haven't
Speaker 1: seen so long, but I fucking love You're our butler McConaughey,
Speaker 1: Rain of Fire, Rain of Fire with a G yes
Speaker 1: one letter off from a Johnny Cash's autobiography, totally different,
Speaker 1: go on. I mean it's it's it's silly and like
Speaker 1: it's you know, sometimes you love a movie because of
Speaker 1: like the circumstances when you saw it. And I was
Speaker 1: in Edinburgh doing the festival with Boom Chicago, and um,
Speaker 1: we had an afternoon off from like let's go see
Speaker 1: a movie. They got movie theaters in Scotland, right they do.
Speaker 1: And we went to a place called the Odeon, thinking
Speaker 1: like this is the only theater in England called or
Speaker 1: in Britain called the Odeon. Change people, doesn't change, um,
Speaker 1: but I'll never forget that The Odeon is where we
Speaker 1: saw Rain of Fire, like knowing nothing about it, like
Speaker 1: a McConaughey movie. Oh great, McConaughey. Sure, and you know
Speaker 1: the mcconnais stance was many years off. But like the
Speaker 1: just the ludicrousness of this movie, that dragons have been
Speaker 1: under London this time, they just decided to come up randomly.
Speaker 1: You know, Jared Butler gets a dig in at Americans,
Speaker 1: which I kind of love. Yeah, it's just it's nonsense.
Speaker 1: It's an absolute nonsense movie and sometimes sometimes that's all
Speaker 1: you want out of a movie. But no one else
Speaker 1: is gonna like that. That's gonna leg it at all
Speaker 1: because they didn't have the right place, right time element
Speaker 1: of seeing it. Quick sub question about your life. You
Speaker 1: mentioned Burning Man. I don't think we talked about this
Speaker 1: last time. I've been to Burning Man once. You've been
Speaker 1: many many times. Can you please tell me about your
Speaker 1: first experience there? How come you went? And did it
Speaker 1: change your life? It did? That is a long story.
Speaker 1: There's a story that's mostly of things going quite terribly
Speaker 1: and being shown around by someone who claimed that they
Speaker 1: knew how to Burning Man. They lied. It is also
Speaker 1: the tale of being in a van where all four
Speaker 1: of the people in the van were Israeli's who'd known
Speaker 1: each other for a long time and bickered in Israeli
Speaker 1: for the entire time your nuts speaker is Raeli, and
Speaker 1: so it was a lot of like and then moments
Speaker 1: of Brandon. It sounds terrible, but it is fine. We're
Speaker 1: just having a little chet about what our plans are
Speaker 1: for tomorrow. And then when we sort it out, we're
Speaker 1: gonna come back and we're gonna let you know, just
Speaker 1: going at each other. And then you know, it was
Speaker 1: horrible for two days and then like the last five
Speaker 1: hours was like this place's magic and I want to
Speaker 1: come here every time for the rest of my life.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, I mean, I can get into it, but
Speaker 1: I feel like I'll be taking your time away. It's
Speaker 1: a long thing, man, I wouldn't know that's five hours.
Speaker 1: Can you give us a taste, because people are going
Speaker 1: to be annoyed if we taste so like the it
Speaker 1: had been terrible weather. And then the last day, which
Speaker 1: is the actual burn, last day we were there and
Speaker 1: the burn is actually not that important, and now you know,
Speaker 1: but you don't know if the first time they had
Speaker 1: to push back the burn several hours. I was unprepared.
Speaker 1: I was wearing like essentially like clothes that I had
Speaker 1: purchased because I've been hired to mc a fetish party
Speaker 1: in Amsterdam, and like, I just moved back to the
Speaker 1: States from Amsterdam, so I didn't have a lot to
Speaker 1: go on. I did not know how to get dressed
Speaker 1: for Bernie Man. So I was wearing this like shiny
Speaker 1: short sleeve shirt and essentially a dress made of straps.
Speaker 1: And what I didn't know is in the desert at night,
Speaker 1: it gets fucking cold, and so I'm freezing. All the
Speaker 1: Israelis are sleeping. They told me to stay out, you know,
Speaker 1: for as long as I wanted, and you know, there's
Speaker 1: good music out there. That burn has happened, and I'm
Speaker 1: dancing and and I'm for the first time in the
Speaker 1: whole three days, I'm making eyes with someone and she's
Speaker 1: kind of looking back to me, and she's she got
Speaker 1: long red hair. She's very pale. I wonder now if
Speaker 1: she was rushing, because she seemed to be alone, and
Speaker 1: like I didn't know was going on and what she
Speaker 1: thought about the place. She was wearing full on white lingerie,
Speaker 1: like you know brod Garter's lace, which is a thing
Speaker 1: you can do. A burny man. Sure sounds, but you know,
Speaker 1: when I dance, I go for it. She's she's going
Speaker 1: for it. I don't quite run up the croach like
Speaker 1: kind of go to her, but I feel like contact
Speaker 1: has been made. And then she starts to walk away.
Speaker 1: She grabbed a bag and walk away, and I track her.
Speaker 1: I see where she across the plia, the wide open
Speaker 1: plia filled with lit up you know, art cars and
Speaker 1: vehicles and lights everywhere, and I see where she'd going
Speaker 1: that way, like great stop. Real quick, opened my backpack
Speaker 1: to pull out the long John thermal underwear that I
Speaker 1: had had packed. I'm gonna put these on over my
Speaker 1: boots real quick. I see her. She's right there, and
Speaker 1: those have not been burning. Man. The notion of thinking
Speaker 1: you can keep tabs on someone who is more than
Speaker 1: seven feet away from you is highly highly uninformed. And
Speaker 1: so I reached down, but I'm by keeping a nut
Speaker 1: at her, and I'm the ram. I think i'd opened
Speaker 1: the plastic. I hadn't even open the plastic of these
Speaker 1: long Johns I bought, you know, on the road up.
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to get mover of my boots and
Speaker 1: like I'm looking at her. I'm looking at her like
Speaker 1: why is this a problem? And I fall into the dirt.
Speaker 1: The problem is these large long John's were a boy's large,
Speaker 1: so I was essentially essentially trying to fit, you know,
Speaker 1: a condom onto my leg um. But I laid down
Speaker 1: there and all, you know, after wild style, I follow
Speaker 1: my back and I look up and it's the most
Speaker 1: beautiful sky I've ever seen in my life. And I
Speaker 1: look down and it's this, you know, landscape of of
Speaker 1: man made beauty, of all these cars and lights and
Speaker 1: structures and everything. And that the combination of the natural
Speaker 1: beauty and the man made beauty, you know, and my
Speaker 1: own stupidity being blown into my face was a powerful cocktail.
Speaker 1: And uh, I haven't been back in gosh. First of all,
Speaker 1: that was in two thousand and eight. I went to
Speaker 1: I went five times total, having back since twenty fifteen,
Speaker 1: and I hope I get to go back next year.
Speaker 1: There would be no ted Lasso, we would not know
Speaker 1: each other like. It absolutely changed my life and uh
Speaker 1: and made me a better everything I do basically, Brendon,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm tempted for you to tell us more.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've moved got heist too. But and and
Speaker 1: lady Lady White Lunger, I never saw again suffice to say,
Speaker 1: I lost track of her in that in that moment. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe she'd been taller, but no, just didn't happen. What
Speaker 1: a fucking story. I do one night more. But maybe
Speaker 1: I'll ask you, you know, I suppose i'll see I'll
Speaker 1: probably see you again after this. Uh, what's the what's
Speaker 1: the film you would show a lover as a test
Speaker 1: to see if you should be together. I've actually done
Speaker 1: this on accident, and I thought for many years that
Speaker 1: I failed the test, but now I realize the other
Speaker 1: person failed the test. So I'm living in Amsterdam, and
Speaker 1: I have this friend who is a like she's a
Speaker 1: professional dancer, kind of show girl, and like we had
Speaker 1: this weird relationship where we'd met like five times in
Speaker 1: five different cities and and like we and in Edinburgh
Speaker 1: actually was the first one, and um, we'd hit it
Speaker 1: off and you were occasionally romantic and uh, and I
Speaker 1: had this massive crush on her, and she'd been doing
Speaker 1: a show in Russia and then she comes to Amsterdam
Speaker 1: to uh to stay with me, and oh boy, in
Speaker 1: a sign of how fried my brain had become. After
Speaker 1: four and a half years of living in Amsterdam, I
Speaker 1: did not make the right decisions. And one thing was
Speaker 1: because i'd just seen Rushmore for the first time fairly recently,
Speaker 1: so you know, she's in Amsterdam for two three days.
Speaker 1: There's probably very specific things she wants to do to
Speaker 1: have a good time in Amsterdam. And I was like,
Speaker 1: you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna watch a
Speaker 1: movie it's gonna blow your mind called Rushmore. It did
Speaker 1: not land with mine, with my international show girlfriend in
Speaker 1: the way that I had hoped it would. But as
Speaker 1: the years have gone on, it has proven that that
Speaker 1: maybe that you know, I was over romanticizing there, I
Speaker 1: go that relationship to the point of having rose obscured glasses.
Speaker 1: That's funny because you you're like, this is this is me, right,
Speaker 1: this is us, this film is us, and she's like,
Speaker 1: this film is not me. I do not relate to
Speaker 1: this film about a weird little boy. But thank you
Speaker 1: for saying me. I just don't. We're gonna have a
Speaker 1: fun night. I've got twice this. You're crying and there's
Speaker 1: this weird little boy living his life, putting on place.
Speaker 1: So this is Amsterdam, huh yeah, yeah, what it is?
Speaker 1: We watch indie movies inside, that's it. Yeah, I've been
Speaker 1: outside a lot place. Can we stay here? Don't make
Speaker 1: me do more drunks? And what is the film that
Speaker 1: made you the most uncomfortable? Brendon Hunt? I enjoyed Blue
Speaker 1: Velvet so much, and I enjoyed Wild at Heart so much,
Speaker 1: and I was like, well, I gotta go back and
Speaker 1: see what else this guy's doing. Let's check out this
Speaker 1: a razor head movie, Like, oh, look at that poster.
Speaker 1: Guy's going a razor for a head. This is gonna
Speaker 1: be great. I'm I'm sad to say that that is
Speaker 1: one of the few movies that, despite having rented it
Speaker 1: at great cost, what five the name, I did not
Speaker 1: complete a Raizor Ahead. By the time it got to
Speaker 1: the part where the tap dancing girl with all the
Speaker 1: goiters and it jumps around and crushes all the feet
Speaker 1: his heads, I was no longer I was no longer
Speaker 1: able to suspend my disbelief that I was enjoying myself.
Speaker 1: So you so you don't know what happens at the end,
Speaker 1: I mean no one does, but you know I don't
Speaker 1: really know what happened in the middle either. Well, as
Speaker 1: a huge David Lynch fan, and we'll defend into the Death.
Speaker 1: I'm sad to hear that, but it is a film
Speaker 1: that will make you uncomfortable. I love it. It makes
Speaker 1: me very uncomfortable. In fact, I find it terrifying, and
Speaker 1: I don't even know why. I remember the first time
Speaker 1: I saw a Rais Ahead. I went to my sister.
Speaker 1: I've been watching it at middle of the day with
Speaker 1: headphones on, and I went to my sister said, I'm
Speaker 1: shooting my pants and she said mine. I said, I'm
Speaker 1: wanting a Raise Ahead, and she said, why is it scary?
Speaker 1: And I said, I don't know. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: I'm absolutely terrified. And that's magic. That's what you want
Speaker 1: for a film, isn't it objective? It is roll. Yeah.
Speaker 1: If you could show a child one film, one film, Mandy,
Speaker 1: what would it be? I think Fantasia? I say, well,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what you think animation right off
Speaker 1: the bead with with kids, And I don't quite know,
Speaker 1: but I do think Fantasia is a goddamn magical movie.
Speaker 1: Um and it holds up well. Watched it again last year.
Speaker 1: Oh shit, we we talked about Fantasia last time too.
Speaker 1: I've again brought up a film that I mentioned before.
Speaker 1: It's a part of me. That's that's that's two pa.
Speaker 1: But I didn't talk about it in this in this way,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna yeah, that's okay. Sally Forth. Also, no
Speaker 1: one ever mentioned You're the only person he's mentioned ever
Speaker 1: on this show. I think, yeah, it's allowed to repeat.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's as an adult, it's just great,
Speaker 1: like they took such big swings with it in ways
Speaker 1: they didn't have to do. And U, I mean, it's great,
Speaker 1: and I think there's just so much in it for kids,
Speaker 1: and it's like a wide variety of things. It's like
Speaker 1: it's delightful and it's scary and it's heroic and it's
Speaker 1: beautiful and you know, I like, I like kids learning
Speaker 1: about music as well well, you know, I like classical
Speaker 1: music getting it's shout with kids. So yeah, Phantasia, it's
Speaker 1: it's lovely. Speaking of big swings, can we talk about this?
Speaker 1: We can cut it, but I would love to ask you,
Speaker 1: you know, publicly. In season two of Tech Last we
Speaker 1: made an episode Beard After Hours, in which you it
Speaker 1: was a Beard episode and it was a wild and
Speaker 1: bids in a Wild night, and so it was quite
Speaker 1: a long shoot that one because there was very high,
Speaker 1: you know, big stuff happening, stunts and lots of locations
Speaker 1: and lots of stuff. How was it for you? You?
Speaker 1: You were brilliant and magnificent and I'm very proud of
Speaker 1: the episode and everything you did in it. But how
Speaker 1: actually was it for you to be in that position?
Speaker 1: Did you find it stressful? Was it a joy? Was
Speaker 1: it did you feel pressure? Like? How was it? I
Speaker 1: didn't feel pressure, but only because there's a part of
Speaker 1: my brain sometimes that I mean, my brain lets a
Speaker 1: lot of bad feelings in, you know, or at least
Speaker 1: there's a lot of bad feelings trying to get in,
Speaker 1: but there's a part of my brain that successfully goes
Speaker 1: this this bad feeling is really not going to help you,
Speaker 1: and specifically, this bad feeling is not going to help
Speaker 1: you do your job. And pressure was one that I
Speaker 1: was able to identify, I guess, and like just didn't
Speaker 1: let it in. So it was partially a joy and
Speaker 1: was partially incredibly stressful and tiring. A joy because you know,
Speaker 1: since you and Joe had written that episode, like, I
Speaker 1: just felt very taken care of, and you know, and
Speaker 1: we were in the we were in the hands of
Speaker 1: the great Sam Jones. So it was like, I don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about a lot of that stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: like these guys are sucking. These are my friends and
Speaker 1: they and they want they want good things for me.
Speaker 1: So so this is fun, but you know, just physically
Speaker 1: very tiring for a for a for a guy whose
Speaker 1: Pilotti studios had all closed down due to a pandemic,
Speaker 1: and it'd been lugging his fish and Chip's ass around
Speaker 1: London for five months. So yeah, it was very like
Speaker 1: tiring of these night shoots and you know the other
Speaker 1: the other episodes we were shooting at the same time,
Speaker 1: you needed me for some day shoots. Yeah, fucking I
Speaker 1: remember which I you know, I myself offered to go
Speaker 1: in to do that because I'm a goddamn hero um
Speaker 1: but also an idiot, like I should have been saving
Speaker 1: my energy. And as I've said publicly, I will say again,
Speaker 1: I don't think I did my best dancing. I think
Speaker 1: I could have been dancing better. Oh, you fucking Jakin.
Speaker 1: If I hadn't been running so much in earlier episodes
Speaker 1: and just you Jakin getting cramped, you couldn't. They're a gun.
Speaker 1: They're a gun's very powerful. Yeah, like it's all armed
Speaker 1: dancing in that episode because my legs were just jacked
Speaker 1: from all the running away from from the hooligans. Right,
Speaker 1: There's two things I'm gonna say. One is this is
Speaker 1: from well three things. One, it was really really fun
Speaker 1: when we shot that because it was all night shoots.
Speaker 1: We rode together and you, me and Jay and Sam,
Speaker 1: and it was really fun. And we had like lunch time,
Speaker 1: which was always like midnight was really fun, always fun.
Speaker 1: But the day we filmed the nightclub sequence, not only
Speaker 1: were you brilliant, but like you were kind of conducting
Speaker 1: an entire a massive room of extras, all dressed up
Speaker 1: burning man style, and like we did a couple of times,
Speaker 1: you were dancing all fucking day. And there was a
Speaker 1: bit where you sort of talked them through how we
Speaker 1: were going to do it, and you like danced, you
Speaker 1: like choreographed them. You danced like you did the thing
Speaker 1: where you crouched down really slow and then you popped
Speaker 1: up and I was like, this is this is wonderful.
Speaker 1: This is just really really great. And then the other
Speaker 1: thing I say is, if you don't mind, thierryon Ri
Speaker 1: is one of your heroes, correct, and you have been
Speaker 1: a huge football fan. And we had tierryon had Garyneka
Speaker 1: in this episode, and there was they were both brilliant
Speaker 1: and lovely and we had a nice time with them.
Speaker 1: But there was a moment I'd spent more time with
Speaker 1: them because you were busy, And there was a moment
Speaker 1: where it was like lunch and Thierry and Gary were
Speaker 1: in a room together, and you came into that room
Speaker 1: and I left you alone so that you could have
Speaker 1: lunch with Carolinaka and Terry and Ree and you were
Speaker 1: in there for an hour, just like locked in the room,
Speaker 1: the three of you, and you came out and you
Speaker 1: looked like h know, Schwartzenegger in Twins after he loses
Speaker 1: his virginity. You have the same look on your face.
Speaker 1: And I said to you, was that the best moment
Speaker 1: of your life? Like rank it birth of your son,
Speaker 1: lunch with Terry and Garry. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: ever were able to rank them. It's personal, Quarry, but
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna answer that. I'm definitely not gonna answer
Speaker 1: it in public. That was a very special time, very
Speaker 1: special day. Oh yeah, and also you you tell us
Speaker 1: how was that lunch? I mean it was great. I
Speaker 1: mean they You know, you think, like you meet these guys,
Speaker 1: you know, Ralics whatever, and you're like, oh, I don't
Speaker 1: want to talk about football with them. I'm sure they
Speaker 1: could turn talking about football. Oh they want to talk
Speaker 1: about a football all they want to talk about. I
Speaker 1: mean I got the sense that Linaker even more than
Speaker 1: than Red. It was like football football and uh and
Speaker 1: Terry and was happy to go along for the ride.
Speaker 1: But like you know, like the French national team roster
Speaker 1: came in for for the Euros while we're there, like
Speaker 1: Terry us like you know, having like little celebrations and stuff.
Speaker 1: And you know, they both played at Barcelona. They both
Speaker 1: had things to say about Barcelona and I tried to
Speaker 1: just not ask any questions. You know, these guys just
Speaker 1: just chatted it up the whole time. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: just really really cool. They they sure love Lionel MESSI
Speaker 1: tell you what good stuff. It's a little bit of
Speaker 1: insider inside, it's a little bit of gossip. They actually
Speaker 1: really like Messi controversy, controversial pedia, but actually think he's
Speaker 1: really good breaking there's the poll quite When this episode
Speaker 1: comes out, Brendan spills doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Patriot section. Oh, welcome back, Brendon. Han't
Speaker 1: you lovely to have you back. The VP's have been
Speaker 1: asking for you. That's one another reason I brought you back.
Speaker 1: They're all like, where is he going? He was the
Speaker 1: most fun? I said, he is fun. He's fucking fun.
Speaker 1: That's like his thing. He's really fun. I don't know
Speaker 1: how he does it. I don't. I want to learn
Speaker 1: his ways. First thing they want to know is have
Speaker 1: you got a secret for them? You've got a new
Speaker 1: secret you've never told anyone. I mean, what comes to
Speaker 1: mind is not not a fun secret. But you know,
Speaker 1: we talked about things here. You don't want to hear
Speaker 1: about an entred of course, please tell me a secret. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's not fun, No, I you know I always yeah,
Speaker 1: of course you can. Yeah. Yeah, it's a distant it's
Speaker 1: a distant sentence. But you know I talked about your
Speaker 1: last last time, about like you know, high school was rough,
Speaker 1: but there was a peer period in high school where
Speaker 1: I wanted to die and I slept with I basically
Speaker 1: had opened a bottle of Thailand. All you know, which
Speaker 1: I think is I'd be profn Maybe she seen a
Speaker 1: mint him, but over the counter pain killers, and I
Speaker 1: just emptied it out under my pillow so it could
Speaker 1: just be there so when at a moment's notice, when
Speaker 1: I'd finally had enough of, you know, life, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: have to go through the extra step of trying to
Speaker 1: open one of those bottle. I mean, they're child proof,
Speaker 1: child proof, and I was technically a child, so that
Speaker 1: was an obstacle I had to remove from the process.
Speaker 1: And eventually my mother found it, and she, you know,
Speaker 1: she like made me write down the addresses and phone
Speaker 1: numbers of all my friends because at that point she
Speaker 1: just thought I was going to run away too, which
Speaker 1: I eventually did. And yeah, I was. I was really
Speaker 1: quite quite close to at least a solid attempt at
Speaker 1: ending things. And golly, I'm sure glad. I'm sure glad.
Speaker 1: I didn't, you know, I mean, things, things get things
Speaker 1: get better. I speak for everyone when I say I'm
Speaker 1: very glad you, and I'm very sad to hear that.
Speaker 1: And I wonder if was there was it a incremental
Speaker 1: changes or was there one thing, like was there a
Speaker 1: specific thing you can remember where you were? Like I
Speaker 1: don't feel that way anymore. Great question. Um, I think
Speaker 1: it was incremental, But I think the main thing was
Speaker 1: going to college, you know, getting getting out of the
Speaker 1: house and you know, no longer being in a you know,
Speaker 1: kind of a dysfunctional domestic setting, a domestic setting with
Speaker 1: good intentions but but poor execution, and to be in
Speaker 1: a to be just not there at all was really
Speaker 1: good for me. And then further to be in a
Speaker 1: in a theater program, you know, where it was really about, like, hey,
Speaker 1: let's talk about your shit, because you know, if talked
Speaker 1: about your shit and it weighs you down just a
Speaker 1: little bit less. And I think that is a an
Speaker 1: absolute truth. I think that's why people should go to therapy.
Speaker 1: And people who are like, yeah, theater people, isn't theater
Speaker 1: just therapy? Like, fuck you for being right, Um, that's
Speaker 1: very rude. How dare you so? Yeah? You know the
Speaker 1: like And I guess all all that is, you know,
Speaker 1: why did I not kill myself because of the I
Speaker 1: went to a different process, the process of finding myself
Speaker 1: a bit more instead. Oh no, Brett, no, Brett, don't
Speaker 1: do this. Oh oh Roy Kemp's not so mean people.
Speaker 1: He was smiling that whole time. Oh, come on, get
Speaker 1: me misty in here, hay may get in there, um
Speaker 1: send hang in there, people, hang in there. You never know,
Speaker 1: you don't know what might get sorted before too long.
Speaker 1: Thank you for sharing that, Brendon. What is the best
Speaker 1: soundtrack to a film? This is a very tough question
Speaker 1: on one hand, but on the other hand, is only
Speaker 1: one right answer, and it's Purple Rain. Now, Purple Rain
Speaker 1: is one of the is one of the best albums
Speaker 1: of all time, so it must be one of the
Speaker 1: best soundtracks of all time. I mean, that is nine
Speaker 1: nine amazing songs lined up perfectly. It's just it's just exquisite.
Speaker 1: It is. It is absolutely perfect. It is one of
Speaker 1: the greatest artists we've ever had at the peak of
Speaker 1: his powers. And yes, I know he made approximately fifty
Speaker 1: other albums, but I mean, Purple Rain is fucking is
Speaker 1: fucking it very very good. Whoever little little treat for
Speaker 1: the Patriots, It's a fucking bang of Purple Rain. I
Speaker 1: mean it is. Come on, come on, and why are
Speaker 1: you complaining? It's a banger. What's the best film to
Speaker 1: watch on a plane? I have rules of watching a
Speaker 1: movie on a plane. I don't like watching big movies
Speaker 1: on a plane. I want to watch a small movie
Speaker 1: that is perhaps tvsized. For that reason, I have chosen
Speaker 1: The Odd Couple. Now, as you know, these people might
Speaker 1: not that I have. I've done a lot of watching
Speaker 1: The Odd Couple to you know, his research for a
Speaker 1: play that I wrote that is you know, has a
Speaker 1: very Odd Couple inspired. But The Odd Couple is not
Speaker 1: well directed as a film. It is not visually striking,
Speaker 1: it is very dated. But the fucking performances are unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Jack Lemon himself already amazing, and as good as Jack
Speaker 1: Lemon is in that movie, Walter Mathou might be twice
Speaker 1: as good. Walter Mathau, I think, gives in that film
Speaker 1: one of the greatest single comedic performances of all time
Speaker 1: on film. He's fucking incredible in that movie. I highly
Speaker 1: recommend it again. The movie itself not perfect, not perfect,
Speaker 1: but wish you wish Mike Nichols had directed it like
Speaker 1: he directed the play. But Walter Mathau worth the price
Speaker 1: of admission. That is a really really good, unusual and
Speaker 1: very smart had good ten points ten points, Wow, the
Speaker 1: first time you've scored. Actually, what is if you could
Speaker 1: only show your parents one film, what would it be?
Speaker 1: What a film, would you like to say your parents?
Speaker 1: Oh boy, she and I'm gonna take a walk down
Speaker 1: childhood drama one more time. What I wrote down is
Speaker 1: not that great an answer. I'm gonna have to run
Speaker 1: around to get out. Good Philamina, Philamina. I'm more thinking
Speaker 1: of my my mom than my dad. Now, my mom
Speaker 1: was not, you know, held hostage in a Irish nunnery
Speaker 1: by anything but good news. She did have a child
Speaker 1: very young and during the social media's the time had
Speaker 1: to go go away and let that child be given
Speaker 1: up for adoption. Fun fact that the girl has found
Speaker 1: us and now I have an older sister, so that's
Speaker 1: kind of lovely. But you know, I think my mom
Speaker 1: never quite gave herself enough credit for a that being
Speaker 1: a very traumatic event for her and be that other
Speaker 1: people had gone through it. And you know, Philamina is
Speaker 1: a fantastic movie, and you know, I was really struck by,
Speaker 1: like that's pretty mub seen that that has taken this
Speaker 1: sort of moment in time of the Catholic Church misusing
Speaker 1: its power and kind of gave you a hint of
Speaker 1: like the scope of it, but in a very like
Speaker 1: personal way. And I think it would have helped my
Speaker 1: mom know that she wasn't alone. All right, I'm gonna that. Whoa.
Speaker 1: So now what what what? What film have I pretended
Speaker 1: to like to impress people? Oh? Okay, the film? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the rais ahead. Oh yeah, No, David Lynch is the best,
Speaker 1: an he's never he is the best. He never had
Speaker 1: a swing a miss, never once. I do for rewatch.
Speaker 1: Obviously a genius doesn't need my approval. But but yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. I just got to it at the wrong time.
Speaker 1: As much as I came to Rain of Fire at
Speaker 1: the exact right time, the universe was true for a Razorhead.
Speaker 1: But then you know that's boring because those movies show
Speaker 1: up in the same sentence all the time. And here
Speaker 1: we are again talking about the Razorhead Rain of Fire. Academy,
Speaker 1: Brendan Hunt, you have been wonderful as always. I'm glad
Speaker 1: I brought you back to life, and having listened to
Speaker 1: your answers to these questions, I've decided I'm gonna let
Speaker 1: you live. Wow, maybe not forever. So what's your back? Son?
Speaker 1: What's your back? But before we go, my lawyers here,
Speaker 1: your lawyer, and he wants you're doing your will. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you knew about that, And the lawyer
Speaker 1: wants to know what is the one DVD you would
Speaker 1: leave to your loved ones. I guess I gotta go
Speaker 1: with a good old yellow submarine, you know, m And
Speaker 1: that's uh. There's a lot of a lot of the
Speaker 1: DNA of what made me in that movie and a
Speaker 1: lot of uh, well, one real big ending that tells
Speaker 1: you a real good message for all you need truly
Speaker 1: is love and um and the animation holds up and
Speaker 1: some of the jokes hold up. You know, submarine have
Speaker 1: a good time, Brett Hunt, Uh bloody love you there.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've said it, it's out there. Thank you
Speaker 1: for doing this. I love you brand I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: run over there and hug you, but I do. I
Speaker 1: do love you. But two, if you had a double Patreon,
Speaker 1: they get two hugs. But so they really start to
Speaker 1: cough it up, you know what I mean? You want
Speaker 1: the hugs? You gotta paint. Uh. What is there anything
Speaker 1: other than ted Lassie that people should be looking out
Speaker 1: for with you or listening to or anything you'd like
Speaker 1: to promote? You have a play. I have a play
Speaker 1: going up next summer at the Kirk Douglas theater she'll
Speaker 1: call the Art and it was supposed to go up
Speaker 1: on March eighteenth of twenty twenty, but then Tom Hanks
Speaker 1: got sick and a lot of stuff got canceled. The
Speaker 1: sets were up, it was ready to go. And if
Speaker 1: Ben announced is going up next summer, but now Ted
Speaker 1: Lasso might be getting in the way of that, we'll see.
