Speaker 1: Murakami once said, death exists not as the opposite of it,
Speaker 1: but as a part of life, like how Riggs is
Speaker 1: kind of the opposite of Murtile, but he's also part
Speaker 1: of his life. And they're all in a way like family.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean. That's a great point, Haruki.
Speaker 1: I do love those films. Every week I invite a

Speaker 1: a podcaster, an artist and an inspiration to the world,
Speaker 1: and a hero and a footballer and a net bailler
Speaker 1: please and a round her please, and a girlfriend. Please

Speaker 1: Annie mcgrant. Hello, I'm flushing. I'm blushing. I'm blushing. Thanks Fret.
Speaker 1: It's a pleasure to be here. Hi, Annie, it's lovely
Speaker 1: to have you. Thanks for doing the show at last. Now, Annie,
Speaker 1: In case you don't know Annie, you bloody should. But
Speaker 1: if you don't know her, aside from all her wonderful
Speaker 1: comedy stuff that she does, she's also she does a podcast.
Speaker 1: It's also amNY podcast in a way, but in which
Speaker 1: it's an art podcast. And I'll tell you Annie, you
Speaker 1: and Steve Martin are the only comedians I know who
Speaker 1: are also banging to art. And you've taught me a
Speaker 1: lot about dast Tell them. Tell the people who don't
Speaker 1: know about your podcast, because I love it. Well, that's
Speaker 1: the good thing about having an art podcast, because people
Speaker 1: then don't expect it to be funny. So you said
Speaker 1: it's sort of a comedy podcast, But that's quite good. No, no,
Speaker 1: because it's supposed to be an art podcast. But then
Speaker 1: if there's any funny bits, people are like, ah, that's unexpected. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess art can be funny. Art can be funny
Speaker 1: in a way. Yeah. So the premises comedians doing art,
Speaker 1: so we paint something that the guests chooses. So you
Speaker 1: chose Buddy the Muppet, Buddy the Star of Loan, and
Speaker 1: we paint and have a chat and it's quite sort
Speaker 1: of relaxing to do and to listen to. I think
Speaker 1: it was really wonderful and actually you're quite clever because
Speaker 1: it's a bit like therapy because you get distracted by
Speaker 1: the painting and you end up revealing your true self. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think people are less guarded because you're distracted trying
Speaker 1: to draw or paint, so there is less of a
Speaker 1: wall put up, less of a front. So people do often,
Speaker 1: you know, regret what they tell me, which is good content.
Speaker 1: It's the dream for a podcast, isn't it exactly? You're
Speaker 1: also a genuine artist, Yeah, I guess so. I mean
Speaker 1: that's sort of. I did go to art college for
Speaker 1: a year, but I think as a result of lockdown
Speaker 1: when all the gigs stops, I sort of did more
Speaker 1: painting and set up a website managed to sell some work.
Speaker 1: So I guess I am technically an artist, even though
Speaker 1: that feels like quite a grand title to give myself. Listen,
Speaker 1: if you're if you're a person getting paid to do art,
Speaker 1: I don't think that's grand. I think that's that's fucking amazing.
Speaker 1: It's rare in it. I don't know any it's you,
Speaker 1: it's you to see. Yeah, yeah, I guess, I guess
Speaker 1: it's nice. Yeah. Why did you decide to do comedy
Speaker 1: after art school? Well? I decided to do English and
Speaker 1: drama at Leeds, and then there I got into doing comedy.
Speaker 1: I joined the sketch group, the leads tea line. You
Speaker 1: had a heck of a group, right, Who was your
Speaker 1: chat Barry my then double act partner love him, Max Dickens,
Speaker 1: Chris Quail, Henry Perrimant and Joe Barnes, who are now
Speaker 1: good double act They got nominated in Edinburgh a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago. Just a lot of posh men basically,
Speaker 1: and met a lot of posh woman to add some
Speaker 1: diversity to the really good now films. Films. Yeah you
Speaker 1: into him? I like them? Yeah, not all of them,
Speaker 1: but some of them. Right, Okay, quite, okay, Okay, we
Speaker 1: got we got a keep whatever we Okay. I think
Speaker 1: you'll see that I'm not that thinky when you see
Speaker 1: my list of films. Let's see how this goes all? Right? Then?
Speaker 1: Oh shit, though, Oh I've not the right I've made
Speaker 1: a right mess of this. I've forgotten to tell you something.
Speaker 1: And that's I mean, this is good acting, because I
Speaker 1: knew this was going to happen, and then I forgot
Speaker 1: and I actually thought maybe you'd left something downstairs. But
Speaker 1: now I know what you're gonna say. I've left something downstairs,
Speaker 1: and let me go and get it. That's good. That's
Speaker 1: my dog downs days kind of thing. Annie, I'm holding
Speaker 1: your death certificate. You've died. Oh no, well it was
Speaker 1: inevitable lest space. Yes, that's the way of looking at it.
Speaker 1: How did you well, Brett. I think I'm quite a
Speaker 1: cautious person. I get quite anxious about like I don't
Speaker 1: I don't like things that are scary, so I don't
Speaker 1: even like, I don't hate flying, don't like really being
Speaker 1: on the tube. Get quite anxious, and I'm always the
Speaker 1: bag lady at theme parks. So I think that maybe
Speaker 1: I would die by like trying to be too cautious.
Speaker 1: So everyone else is on every All my friends are
Speaker 1: on the roller coaster, the scariest roller coaster, and I'm
Speaker 1: by myself holding all the bags and then I get
Speaker 1: shot in the head. So when you say bag lady,
Speaker 1: you don't mean lady who lives in the theme park. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I mean lady who holds bags. You know, when you
Speaker 1: or you're without wanting to generalize, men tend to carry
Speaker 1: fewer bags, if none, than women. Yeah, but you know
Speaker 1: often there's people who have bags and I'll be holding on.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't live in the theme park. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you hold the bags. So in a way, I
Speaker 1: mean to cut the questions. What's heartbreaking about this is
Speaker 1: it's clear from the setup you don't want to go
Speaker 1: to this theme park. But I guess you just want
Speaker 1: the human company invited. You're not you don't want to
Speaker 1: engage in any of it, but you just want to
Speaker 1: be with people and to be loved. You'll hold all
Speaker 1: their handbags, yeah, christ and then you get shot in
Speaker 1: the head. That sounds depressive. It's it's made me sad.
Speaker 1: It's yes, it is depress Yes, maybe I get shot
Speaker 1: in the boobs. Does that make it less depressive? Um?
Speaker 1: Maybe my right boob and then I don't die automatically.
Speaker 1: It gives it something. It gives it something shot in
Speaker 1: the right boob and then I'm fine, the hearts on
Speaker 1: the left, yeah, and then I'm like, oh, dodged a bullet,
Speaker 1: and then bat in the left one. Do you know
Speaker 1: who pulled the trigger? Just a local sniper, I think,
Speaker 1: all right, it is this part Chessington Alton Towers. I
Speaker 1: don't know one of those, so it's the Chessington's nigher. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh good, do you know him? Yeah? Do you know
Speaker 1: why he was targeting you? And you're in particularly you're
Speaker 1: right and left boob. I think he wanted back. He
Speaker 1: wanted someone's static so that he could get a better shot,
Speaker 1: because obviously people that are like on a log flume
Speaker 1: are moving, so it's a harder target. And I was
Speaker 1: the only person who was holding all the bags, so
Speaker 1: one boob than the other, so none of the bags
Speaker 1: protect you in the in the in the boobs, I
Speaker 1: guess you were holding them by yourself. I just imagine
Speaker 1: holding them up here on their like tope bags, so
Speaker 1: they're all on my shoulders, five tope bags shoulder. If
Speaker 1: you shot you in the left left back, cheat, right back, cheat,
Speaker 1: you might have might have been okay, yeah, yeah, my
Speaker 1: heart's not in my butt, so I think I might
Speaker 1: have survived. It's a shame he was he was a
Speaker 1: boob guy. Yeah, you can't tell. You can't tell a
Speaker 1: bood guy or a bum guy until they've killed you.
Speaker 1: That's the problem with men. I'll be honest, Anny. This
Speaker 1: is one of the darkest and most problematic and upsetting
Speaker 1: deaths we've had. And this is quite far into the
Speaker 1: run of podcast of congratulations. Do you you're scared of everything?
Speaker 1: Do you worry about death? He's scared of death? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't like the idea of die. Quite
Speaker 1: scared of it. I don't want anyone I know to die.
Speaker 1: It's sad, isn't it. It is sad. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't understand why there's people that go on your
Speaker 1: podcast and are like, I don't mind it. What do
Speaker 1: you mean the constant nothing? Is that what you think
Speaker 1: it is? Well, I hope it isn't. But logically I
Speaker 1: don't think there is anything afterwards, but I would like
Speaker 1: to believe that there is. And I understand why people
Speaker 1: when they're dying sort of go to religion and spirituality
Speaker 1: as like a final ditch attempt to continue listen. Maybe
Speaker 1: this is mad, mad thinking on my part. But when
Speaker 1: you say, well that it's logical, it seems logical that
Speaker 1: there's nothing, I would say, what logic is leading you
Speaker 1: to that? How do you explain your thoughts and feelings
Speaker 1: and vibes and stuff like that? You're I mean, like,
Speaker 1: what's your logic that I guess by logic, I mean
Speaker 1: like science and right, you know, I'm no scientist, but
Speaker 1: I think those guys know what they're doing. How do
Speaker 1: you explain vibes? Yeah, I don't know how it's that
Speaker 1: vibes with a zes. No, I'm not talking about a
Speaker 1: type of music. I'm not talking about one of your
Speaker 1: favorite bands. Vibes. I don't know how you explain vibes. No,
Speaker 1: but I think it's the key to death. So do
Speaker 1: you think the afterlife is pure vibes, pure good vibes.
Speaker 1: That's nice? Yeah, okay, yes, because if there is constant nothing,
Speaker 1: then that is hard to get your head around for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Are you quite accepting of it death? Well, I'm not
Speaker 1: the idea of other people dying, for sure. I'm really
Speaker 1: really not into that. And that's my probably my biggest
Speaker 1: fear of other people dying. And I just tape that
Speaker 1: no one ever days and then it's fine. I bet
Speaker 1: there's some people that you're like, I wouldn't mind if
Speaker 1: they died. M if I if I had to pick
Speaker 1: and choose, then yes, I certainly could name them bloody Well,
Speaker 1: then you know the geezer who's don't The problem is
Speaker 1: I watch the news that I can't remember anyone's name,
Speaker 1: so I can't name the right people, right, but there's
Speaker 1: someone on the news that some of the news and
Speaker 1: I I'm not talking about the presenters. The thing of
Speaker 1: am I comfortable with me dying? I did think the
Speaker 1: other day, Well, actually, I've had a pretty fucking good life.
Speaker 1: If I died now, it'd be a shame, but I'd
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, the only thing I didn't do is
Speaker 1: jump out of plane. That was all that I had left.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? Anyway, listen, don't worry
Speaker 1: than there is enough to lie. Oh great, and it's
Speaker 1: great and it's filled with your favorite thing. What's your
Speaker 1: favorite thing? Chocolate? Yeah, it's made out of chocolate. It's
Speaker 1: like it's like really Wonka's chocolate factory, but instead of
Speaker 1: ground it's chocolate and less creepy Wonka. Maybe yeah, and
Speaker 1: the wonker character is is me? Is that less creefy?
Speaker 1: Hard to say. You'll find out when you're there. I
Speaker 1: guess nice. Hello, Welcome to the chocolate patch, Welcome to
Speaker 1: the chocolate factory. Heaven, chocolate everywhere. And by the way,
Speaker 1: don't worry. It's not like, oh, I'm sitting on a
Speaker 1: chocolate chair and it's like sticky. Yeah. Whatever you want
Speaker 1: it to be is the right thing. Sometimes it's hard,
Speaker 1: sometimes it's soft, sometimes it's liquid. You want to eat
Speaker 1: the wolves, you can eat the wolves. But the roof's
Speaker 1: not going to collapse on your head. Great, and you
Speaker 1: don't feel sick after, never feel sick, thank you. Never
Speaker 1: sounds perfect. Yeah, and in the chocolate, chocolate, chocolate Heaven.
Speaker 1: Everyone's obsessed with films though, which is Yeah, it's not
Speaker 1: an entirely weird connection, but it's surprises some people when
Speaker 1: they get here. The films made of chocolate. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: there's that film Chocola Yeah, I haven't seen it, but
Speaker 1: Heaven is actually made from chocolate. Now here's the thing.
Speaker 1: What the people here they want to know about your life,
Speaker 1: Anna Belle, but they won't know about it through the
Speaker 1: medium of film. Okay. The first thing they asked is
Speaker 1: what's the first film you remember seeing. I think the
Speaker 1: first film I remember seeing is Wallace and Grommit The
Speaker 1: Wrong Trousers Wow, which I absolutely loved. I had like
Speaker 1: a Wallace and Grommate alarm clock with the sheep that
Speaker 1: would pop out of a clock. Did they hamn't come
Speaker 1: out of the wood and hit you at the edge
Speaker 1: every morning? And that would drap me up every morning?
Speaker 1: That's great. And I had a big cuddly toy Grummet,
Speaker 1: which was sweet, although recently, not recently, maybe about five
Speaker 1: years ago, when my mum moved house. I came home
Speaker 1: and my Grummit was outside the front door with like
Speaker 1: a load of other cuddly toys and she was throwing
Speaker 1: them all away and I was like, Mum, why is
Speaker 1: Grummet on the street? And she said, when you get
Speaker 1: to having children, Grummit will be moldy and your womb
Speaker 1: would have shrivelled up. So I guess the idea was
Speaker 1: that I've got no one to give Grummit too currently,
Speaker 1: so it was going to whoever wanted it on the street.
Speaker 1: But that was a bit a bit upset that I'm
Speaker 1: imagining Grummit, like sort of Dino at the end of
Speaker 1: Flintstone outside the door panting to come in. Yeah, quite
Speaker 1: a good posture. Actually, yeah, it's great. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: loved I loved that, Wallison Grummit. Is that why you're
Speaker 1: an artist because that was your first film? Maybe? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is that what's it called? That type of animation stop
Speaker 1: stop motion? Yeah? Very cool? I love it, really love it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: What's the film that made you cry the most? Are
Speaker 1: you a crier? I'm not a crier. No, that's interesting, Annie,
Speaker 1: is it? I realized, Yeah, because I was just thinking then.
Speaker 1: I was thinking, I've known you very many, many, many
Speaker 1: many years. I've never seen you cry. I haven't even
Speaker 1: seen you close. I reckon you're a robot. I don't
Speaker 1: think I've ever cried at a film. There's some that
Speaker 1: have given me wet eyes before d X one, I've
Speaker 1: been accused a lot of being dead inside or having
Speaker 1: a heart of stone, which I don't think. I do
Speaker 1: cry in real life, but in films rarely. That might
Speaker 1: mean that you're actually more healthy than most people if
Speaker 1: you're processing it in real life rather than through fiction. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because you can only process your emotion. I can only
Speaker 1: gray and through fiction. Yeah, and that's why you don't
Speaker 1: go to cinema with anyone that right. Correct, correct. But
Speaker 1: the film I've chosen is Peanut Butter The Peanut to
Speaker 1: Falcon love that film. It's a great film that gave
Speaker 1: me wet eyes, really wet eyes. So I watched it
Speaker 1: in the Scottish Highlands, quite romantic trip and it was
Speaker 1: just a really beautiful film, very warm and lovely soundtrack. Wait,
Speaker 1: who told you you're dead inside? And made a statement
Speaker 1: just various friends, Like when I've seen to live shows
Speaker 1: don't really make me cry either. So I've been told
Speaker 1: a lot watching comedy that I can't laugh out loud.
Speaker 1: So people say, but I'm dead inside for that reason.
Speaker 1: But I think that's the result of doing comedy as well,
Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah? Yeah, I can see do you laugh shows?
Speaker 1: I do? I do laugh. Yeah, But I understand why
Speaker 1: you wouldn't. Yeah, But I guess I'm curious because it's
Speaker 1: so overpowering to me watching a film, as in, when
Speaker 1: you're having wet eyes, your is your stomach hare you're
Speaker 1: feeling things inside your body, or you've just got wet eyes. No,
Speaker 1: I don't think my stomach hurts or anything. Is that
Speaker 1: what you're describing sadness as having a no, just wet eyes,
Speaker 1: I think. I mean there's like a feeling of emotion. Sure, yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's not like like I've never I don't think
Speaker 1: I've ever had it to like roll down my face
Speaker 1: watching a film unless I've been lying on my side,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes lying on the side with their could
Speaker 1: disting on. Yeah, then I've cried. Fascinating, But yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a really beautiful film. It is. It is a cracker.
Speaker 1: And what's the film that scared you the most? I mean,
Speaker 1: we already know you're scared, given you don't cry of films.
Speaker 1: Do you get scared of films? Yeah? I can't watch
Speaker 1: scary films. Hate hate horror films, and I couldn't well
Speaker 1: I was going to say what lies beneath, but that's
Speaker 1: not my actual answer. But I couldn't have a bath
Speaker 1: for like a year after watching that. I just eight
Speaker 1: horror films and used to hate going to like sleepovers
Speaker 1: at other people's houses because when we were teenagers, everyone
Speaker 1: just wanted to watch horror films and I'd get scared
Speaker 1: and want to go home. But I've chosen Gaslight, which
Speaker 1: is from nineteen forty four. It's a black and white
Speaker 1: sort of psychological, sort of psychological horror, and yeah, this
Speaker 1: is where the term gaslight comes from, exactly right. So
Speaker 1: I first actually read it's based on a play. I
Speaker 1: read the play and I did a monologue from it
Speaker 1: for my Grade eight trauma exam, and then watch the
Speaker 1: film and it's it's very like melodramatic and obviously incredibly dated,
Speaker 1: but the psychological element of it is still like really distressing.
Speaker 1: And it's about this man who basically convinces this woman
Speaker 1: to marry him because he wants to steal all the
Speaker 1: all of her family's treasure that's in the attic, and
Speaker 1: he convinces her that he keeps like buying her all
Speaker 1: these jewels and like expensive things, and then they go missing,
Speaker 1: and he convinces her that she's going mad, and she's
Speaker 1: very careless and loses all these things, and they keep
Speaker 1: getting invited out to parties and then he says, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't think you're well enough to go, and basically
Speaker 1: convinces her that she's going mad. And the whole time
Speaker 1: he's been it's like giving her these things and then
Speaker 1: taking them away and pretending she's lost them, And so
Speaker 1: at night when she's in the house, he goes out
Speaker 1: and breaks into the house to another route to look
Speaker 1: in the attic for the treasures, and basically every time
Speaker 1: he goes upstairs, because of the way the gas lighting worked,
Speaker 1: when he turns the light on the attic, the lights
Speaker 1: go down in her room. So that's why it's called
Speaker 1: gas lighting, because she was like, oh, the lights keep
Speaker 1: going down. I hear people like rummaging around and he's like, no,
Speaker 1: you're going mad. There's no one else in the house.
Speaker 1: How can the lights be going And it only happens
Speaker 1: when he's out, and then eventually he's discovered as being
Speaker 1: a psycho killer. But it's a very good film, and
Speaker 1: it's it's scary, not in like a horror way, but
Speaker 1: it doesn't make you jump. But the way he manipulates
Speaker 1: her is pretty terrifying. Two questions, When what did you
Speaker 1: get for your Grade eight drama? And monolog of guess
Speaker 1: I got it honors? Yeah? Question two, do you remember
Speaker 1: any of it? And can you give us a couple
Speaker 1: of lines? I can't really remember it, but it's a
Speaker 1: good bit at the end where it's In the film,
Speaker 1: it's Ingrid Bergmann and her husband is tied to a chair,
Speaker 1: so the police officer has captured him, and she's in
Speaker 1: the attic and he's saying, oh, you know, you've got
Speaker 1: me all wrong. You've got it untimy. There's a knife
Speaker 1: over there, and she basically picks up this knife and
Speaker 1: it's like, is there a knife, I can't see any knife.
Speaker 1: You're going mad and basically flips it so that he's
Speaker 1: gone mad, and it's just a really good bit of
Speaker 1: like her getting her comeback nice. It's a fun, fun scene. Excellent,
Speaker 1: excellent answer. What is the film that people don't like?
Speaker 1: It's not critically acclaimed, but you fuck love it? You
Speaker 1: don't care. I don't think it went down badly at
Speaker 1: the time, but I wouldn't say it's critically acclaimed, but
Speaker 1: I loved the parole officer. That's a great answer, is it.
Speaker 1: That's a great answer, Yeah, by Steve Coogan. I think
Speaker 1: you're right. I think that was like a sort of
Speaker 1: three star. Yeah, didn't really do much. No one hated it,
Speaker 1: but no one was yeah to keep talking about it. Great.
Speaker 1: I just I saw it at the cinema and thought
Speaker 1: it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen. And I
Speaker 1: then got to meet Steve Coogan at a show in
Speaker 1: Oxford and I was so excited and he gave me
Speaker 1: his autograph because I was really cool and aspects autograph
Speaker 1: and he signed it Steve Coogan brackets, Alan Partridge, and
Speaker 1: I was like, who the hell is Alan Partridge? I
Speaker 1: just knew him? So why has he not put the
Speaker 1: parole officer? But yeah, very crazy, funny film. Also amazing
Speaker 1: that he signs things brackets Allen Partridge. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: a photo to sign photo. Still got it somewhere, oh
Speaker 1: well of him, but yeah, brackets, Alam part It's like
Speaker 1: a head of black and white head shot Steve black
Speaker 1: and white brackets ALP closed brackets, well not brackets the
Speaker 1: parole of Dream. Yeah, it's like, I don't know why
Speaker 1: he's are an Aha, I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1: And since obviously I think Alam Partrish is great now
Speaker 1: that I know what that is. Yeah, now that now
Speaker 1: you're really happy with that head Ye see that I
Speaker 1: told you that, Well, that's a real revelation. I feel
Speaker 1: like that's an exclusive. What is the film that you
Speaker 1: used to love? You loved it so much? But you've
Speaker 1: watched it reasoningly and you've gone out. I don't like
Speaker 1: this anymore. This is the one I struggled the most with.
Speaker 1: But what I've decided on is bring it on. Because
Speaker 1: I used to love bring it on. I love bring
Speaker 1: it on. What's wrong with it now? Well there's lots
Speaker 1: of like slightly homophobic slurs and like fat phobic stuff
Speaker 1: and cultural appropriation. It doesn't seem too stood the test
Speaker 1: of time very well. But I think I was obsessed
Speaker 1: with because I went to an all girls school, and well,
Speaker 1: we had two friendship groups in our year, and one
Speaker 1: was known as the slags and one was known as
Speaker 1: the cheerleaders. I was in the cheerleaders and we had
Speaker 1: we had like polar neck t shirts that said slag
Speaker 1: or change. Did you dream of being in the slags?
Speaker 1: Or are you happy in your placing the cheerleaders? To
Speaker 1: be honest, I was happy with my place in the cheerleaders.
Speaker 1: They felt like the chi I think we were like
Speaker 1: the nice cool ones, whereas the slags were like the
Speaker 1: slightly bitchy cool ones. So who if one of those
Speaker 1: groups is the pink ladies, who are who is it?
Speaker 1: The Slags are the cheerleaders probably the well, I don't
Speaker 1: know they'd be crossover. I think there'd be a vendor
Speaker 1: diagram and pink ladies in the middle and the bags
Speaker 1: and cheerleader on either side. It's it's a very different
Speaker 1: school than Ride. Yeah, and also we were nothing like
Speaker 1: Bring it On like it was a posh school in Oxford.
Speaker 1: We played hockey. We didn't do cheerleading, so I don't
Speaker 1: know why we called ourselves the cheerleaders pre embarrassing. So
Speaker 1: you were cheerleader. He didn't cheerlead and were the slags?
Speaker 1: Also they did and rock how they did? They held
Speaker 1: out their end of the buggy. It would be fine
Speaker 1: to have the top now that said cheerleader on, but
Speaker 1: I think you probably wouldn't go out with the top
Speaker 1: that said slag on. Would you? You might do? Maybe
Speaker 1: it'd be ironic. Yeah, you might, or you might be
Speaker 1: reclaiming you know, you just might, You just might, You
Speaker 1: just mightn't. I'd love to back you on that, but
Speaker 1: I'm saying you might well go out. I'd love it
Speaker 1: if next time I see you you're still wearing a
Speaker 1: black T shirt, but you turn around it just as
Speaker 1: slag's not a bad idea, what is the film that
Speaker 1: means the most to you? Not necessarily the film itself
Speaker 1: is any good, but because the experience you had around
Speaker 1: seeing it will always make it special to you. Well.
Speaker 1: I went to see Mean Girls when it first came
Speaker 1: out with my dad in the cinema in Cornwall where
Speaker 1: my grandparents lived. And we went to this cinema and
Speaker 1: red roof, and we were the only people in the
Speaker 1: entire cinema watching it, and both I don't know how
Speaker 1: old I would have been when it come out two
Speaker 1: thousand and four. I don't know I was a teenager anyway,
Speaker 1: maybe it's two thousand and one. And me and my
Speaker 1: dad just both found it so funny. I was going
Speaker 1: to say we were laughing all the way through, but
Speaker 1: obviously I wouldn't have laughed out loud, but it was
Speaker 1: just I loved it so much, and so did he,
Speaker 1: and it was just quite cool being in a totally
Speaker 1: empty cinema in the middle of deepest darkest Cornwall. That's
Speaker 1: very nice. And then me and my friend Shannon at
Speaker 1: school learnt the she was also a cheerleader. Cheerleader, yeah,
Speaker 1: so did hang on? Did cheerleaders and slags not weren't friends.
Speaker 1: You can, we're sort of periphery friends. But it was
Speaker 1: like like you could be friends with individuals in the slags,
Speaker 1: but it was like if you hung out as a group,
Speaker 1: it would generally be like the slags and the cheerleaders separately.
Speaker 1: Could you could you ever switch sides? I guess you could,
Speaker 1: but once once you got your T shirt printed, right,
Speaker 1: that's it, isn't it. But there was never like a
Speaker 1: meeting where it's like you've been you've been hanging out
Speaker 1: with too many slags. You have to leave us and
Speaker 1: become a slag. No, I don't think there were meeting.
Speaker 1: There was a room. There was an empty classroom between
Speaker 1: two of the classrooms that was known as the Argument's Room.
Speaker 1: So at lunchtime they'd be like scheduled arguments and like
Speaker 1: like so like like a fight, but like a debate
Speaker 1: team instead like a like an argument, like would you
Speaker 1: all stand around going yeah, guy for it? It would
Speaker 1: be it would be less like physical fighting. And I
Speaker 1: actually think the argument's Room predated the terms cheerleader and slack.
Speaker 1: But it would be like apparently you said that to
Speaker 1: that person and then that person blah, you know, just
Speaker 1: classic you know thirteen year old girls. Was there like
Speaker 1: a judge in the argument room? Who would rule like
Speaker 1: a judge? T D I don't remember, Yeah, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: Probably How did the arguments get resolved in the argument room?
Speaker 1: I guess the bell would have gone for the end
Speaker 1: of lunch time, and then that would be it, right right,
Speaker 1: The grievances would be a solutions might not have been
Speaker 1: fat Oh yeah, I think so, and then it would
Speaker 1: be like, you know, you go to geography something. Okay,
Speaker 1: So yeah, Shannon and I learned the jingle Bell Rock
Speaker 1: and Gretchen Wiener's monologue. Great, did you perform them? Just
Speaker 1: sort to each other? We did do it. We did
Speaker 1: a rendition of jingle Bell Rock at my friend Aeriel's
Speaker 1: Christmas party. How did it going? It was not good
Speaker 1: for audio. It's a dance. It's fine. You know the
Speaker 1: pages they need to exclusive content. Oh yeah, it's video,
Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah? Yeah, well I'm sitting down. I can
Speaker 1: only do stand me yep. Okay, what about what is
Speaker 1: the film you most relate to any mcgret I most
Speaker 1: relate to Bend It like Beckham. I mean, I already
Speaker 1: really like you, but that makes me like you so
Speaker 1: much more. Please tell me. I loved to Bend It
Speaker 1: like Beckham. I watched it every weekend for a year.
Speaker 1: When we moved from London to Oxford. That summer we
Speaker 1: were just we were like about to move house and
Speaker 1: me and my brother were playing football in the garden
Speaker 1: and I was in goal and he took a penalty
Speaker 1: and I saved it, but my left wrist bent so
Speaker 1: far back that I fractured my radius. And then when
Speaker 1: we moved to Oxford, I was just I think it
Speaker 1: was at the time Bend It like Beckham came out
Speaker 1: and I just watched it every weekend and I loved it.
Speaker 1: Hadn't really seen women playing football on TV before and
Speaker 1: just found it so exciting and funny and warm and yeah,
Speaker 1: I just loved it. I I've just recently joined a
Speaker 1: women's football team as well, and when I first went,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: a med it like Beckham. What team have you joined?
Speaker 1: Legends FC? Amazing? And how have any playing every week?
Speaker 1: If I can? What is it proper properly eleven or Favors? No,
Speaker 1: it's just a five a side team and we all
Speaker 1: wear pink. But Obviously women's football is like really big now,
Speaker 1: but at the time when Bend It, like Beckham came out,
Speaker 1: it wasn't at all. And even in the film they
Speaker 1: reference like how big it is in America, And obviously
Speaker 1: the end they go to America and David Beckham's in
Speaker 1: it for about ten seconds walking through the airport. It's
Speaker 1: a great film. And Johnathan Reesemy is really fit in it. Oh, yes,
Speaker 1: very fit. Dracula is he Dracula? I think he's one
Speaker 1: of them. I don't speak. Yeah, it was the sexiest
Speaker 1: film you've ever seen. Eddie. Well, I'm regretting my answer
Speaker 1: to this already. I've put no shame on this podcast.
Speaker 1: You say that I've put Chicago. Okay, Well that's sexy.
Speaker 1: That's the shame coming in. It is a musical. But
Speaker 1: the Cell Blocked Tango is a very sexy when all
Speaker 1: the all the murderesses in jail, they're called murderesses in
Speaker 1: the film, by the way, that's not me gendering them.
Speaker 1: All the fit women who have killed men do the
Speaker 1: cell blocked Tango in like fishnets and underwear, and they're
Speaker 1: all smoking in this dark prison and it's quite like
Speaker 1: empowering but also fit. That's it. That's the sixty point answer.
Speaker 1: You've just given great shame at all out of what
Speaker 1: it changes. All the home depends on. That's the first
Speaker 1: answer you've pointed exactly sot somewhere. So I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's good or bad because I've got nothing to
Speaker 1: compare it to. Well, No, it is sexy Chicago, and
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right, and that's a perfect time great soundtrack
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, a great musical. There's a subcategory obviously,
Speaker 1: Traveling Bone is worrying? Why dons what's the film that
Speaker 1: you found a rousing that you weren't sure you should
Speaker 1: Annie McGrath, Well, I didn't find the whole film arousing.
Speaker 1: But my answer for this is The Lion King, but
Speaker 1: only the bit when Raffiki is painting on the tree,
Speaker 1: because the way he uses his thumbs to like paint
Speaker 1: the outline of you're like really slowly nodding, but it's
Speaker 1: like across your eyes, it's like she's fast it. No,
Speaker 1: I'm delighted because I thought you were going to say
Speaker 1: the bit where Nala and Zimba, you know, look at
Speaker 1: each other for a roll around and then look at
Speaker 1: each other and go, yeah, no, no, this is a
Speaker 1: much better answer. You like the fucking artbit like yeah,
Speaker 1: which I only realized actually afterwards. I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's painting, so maybe it's that like with the hands.
Speaker 1: It's just a really beautiful, like simple outline of zimba. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's sort of drips. It's very sexy. But also, I
Speaker 1: mean the only part of it it makes it troubling.
Speaker 1: I think I don't mind any of it other than
Speaker 1: that he's painting a baby. Yeah, but a lion cub
Speaker 1: a lying baby, Yeah, that's fine. And he's a baboon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it balances out. Yeah. And also I would have been
Speaker 1: a child watching it, so be weird. Yeah, if it
Speaker 1: was an adult lion, if yeah, if he was like
Speaker 1: painting and staffa and you were like yeah, yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: If it was scar, you were age appropriate to be
Speaker 1: tend baboon drawing a baby lion came exactly. I just said,
Speaker 1: come baby, Lanca, Oh God, can give me um? Really
Speaker 1: good twenty six points. What is the film is objectively
Speaker 1: the greatest film of all time. I loved Fighting with
Speaker 1: my family. It's so good. It's so good. I only
Speaker 1: watched it at the beginning of this year at Stephen
Speaker 1: Merchant wrote it, and it's again. But I realized I've
Speaker 1: got two wrestling films because the Peanut Butter Falcon is
Speaker 1: wrestling and fighting with my family's wrestling. Apparently I love wrestling.
Speaker 1: It's just so good. It's really funny, and it's got
Speaker 1: everything you want from a film. It's got good sibling rivalry,
Speaker 1: it's got warmth, it's got drama, and it's nicely resolved.
Speaker 1: And Florence Pew is amazing that Paige. I just thought
Speaker 1: it was brilliant. Did you get wet eyes in that?
Speaker 1: I cried a lot. Yeah, that was nearly going to
Speaker 1: be my other wet eye one. Yeah, I got really
Speaker 1: wet eyes in the pouring wet six times in that film.
Speaker 1: I was a wreck. I thought you said a wreck
Speaker 1: six times. I was absolutely rock hard. Are you an
Speaker 1: only child? No? Do I come across as well? No?
Speaker 1: I've just realized that we we you just said in
Speaker 1: that sibling sibling rivalry, and I thought, oh, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've got a brother, so, an older brother who's eighteen
Speaker 1: months older. He lives in Australia, he's a doctor. Well,
Speaker 1: I know crazy, so yeah, maybe that's partly it the
Speaker 1: girl boy sibling rivalry and he's a doctor and he's
Speaker 1: a doctor and I'm not. Yeah, it's a lot of rivalry.
Speaker 1: There are you close? Do you? How do you fucking
Speaker 1: talk when he's in Australia? Yeah, we talk a lot.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him for two years because of the
Speaker 1: old pandemic? Do you? How do you what's the time
Speaker 1: difference with Australia? How do you talk to him nine
Speaker 1: hours ahead? I'm worried about you and your brother. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's fine because he works night shifts often because
Speaker 1: he's a doctor, So actually it works out quite easily
Speaker 1: to talk to him. But yeah, it's it's sad not
Speaker 1: being able to see him. He's got a girlfriend who
Speaker 1: he lives with. We've only met her on WhatsApp, as
Speaker 1: in visually on WhatsApp, just through texts Okay, sorry, what's up? Video? Cool?
Speaker 1: I'd love it if it was just your brother sending
Speaker 1: pain texts the whole tel It's purely test. He was
Speaker 1: catfishing the whole family. I met this wonderful woman. Hi, guys,
Speaker 1: is that you or is that your girlfriend? She doesn't
Speaker 1: have her own phone. It's weird, does she only text
Speaker 1: through your phone? Does she exist? Yeah? I loved that film. Great,
Speaker 1: great answer. Yeah, one hundred and five hundred six point.
Speaker 1: See it's out of more than a hundred. That doesn't
Speaker 1: bode well for the answer gave me twenty six. What
Speaker 1: is the film that you laugh at them? What film
Speaker 1: made you laugh the most? Clown really made me laugh?
Speaker 1: Have you seen Clown with a K? Tell me? It's
Speaker 1: a Danish comedy and it's very silly and quite crass.
Speaker 1: It's sort of like Borat, but a Scandinavian version. So
Speaker 1: it's about a man called Frank who's trying to prove
Speaker 1: to his girlfriend that he's a capable father because she
Speaker 1: becomes pregnant with his baby, and in doing so, he
Speaker 1: basically kidnaps her sort of five year old son and
Speaker 1: takes him on a canoeing trip with his best friend.
Speaker 1: But they get into all sorts of scrapes and like
Speaker 1: go into a brothel and there's just some really funny,
Speaker 1: like very crude scenes. Is it done for real like
Speaker 1: Bora is with real people? I don't think it is. No,
Speaker 1: But there's a scene where, I mean it sounds so
Speaker 1: bad when you describe it, but where he comes on
Speaker 1: his mother in law by mistake, and it is really
Speaker 1: funny because his friends have basically told him to win
Speaker 1: his girlfriend's affection, they really like it if you come
Speaker 1: in them when they're asleep, and as like a last resort,
Speaker 1: he goes to do that, but it turns out the
Speaker 1: woman in the bed is his mother. It's I think
Speaker 1: I've got quite a pure ole sense of humor, but
Speaker 1: it is. The way it's done is very funny, and
Speaker 1: I think because of because it bit in Scandinavian, like,
Speaker 1: their delivery is really deadpan and really dry. There's some
Speaker 1: quite like offensive scenes, but they are. It's funny, it sounds,
Speaker 1: it sounds really funny and also interesting because your your
Speaker 1: comedy is I would describe as dead pan but clever
Speaker 1: and pure as well. Maybe that's it then what I'm
Speaker 1: drawn to. But do I get bonus points for saying
Speaker 1: a film? Saying a film that you've not seen before?
Speaker 1: You get you get bonus points for picking a foreign
Speaker 1: language film and like and sort of being quite hazard
Speaker 1: about it. Really, yeah, like you've done that a couple
Speaker 1: of times. You know, you picked a Gaslight, which is,
Speaker 1: you know, a very old film, and you picked a
Speaker 1: foreign film here, and yeah, I made a thing of it,
Speaker 1: which is that may be cool. You've said it like
Speaker 1: it's normal for you to just watch you know. I
Speaker 1: actually watched clown Ages ago and really watched it recently
Speaker 1: and forgotten. Was really annoyed when subtitles came up because
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I can't look at my phone
Speaker 1: for like any of the film, So it's definitely not
Speaker 1: commonplace for me. It's really good. You get three points.
Speaker 1: What is the We don't like to be negative any
Speaker 1: so please be kinda. What's the worst film you've ever seen?
Speaker 1: The Notebook? Wow? Wow? I hate it's the Notebook so much.
Speaker 1: And I think The Notebook as an example of one
Speaker 1: of those films that I watched when I was like
Speaker 1: fifteen with a friend and she was she had the
Speaker 1: wettest eyes I've ever seen afterwards, and she looked at
Speaker 1: me and she was like, I can't leave. You're not
Speaker 1: crying at the Notebook, And I was like, it's shit.
Speaker 1: I don't understand. But I wonder if I watched it
Speaker 1: now whether I might change my opinion of it. But
Speaker 1: I seem to remember it being very boring and predicted
Speaker 1: and not that sad do you love it your reactions
Speaker 1: like this is my first answer. I know how how
Speaker 1: much people love that film. It's a real favorite. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I could argue that it's quite cheesy on some Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I also would say it's extremely well acted there
Speaker 1: really it's you know, it's some brilliant actors, which makes
Speaker 1: elevates it. Yeah. Well, I love Rachel McAdams, don't I
Speaker 1: because Girls is one of my in Cornwall. Yeah, with
Speaker 1: no one else in the room. But I think even
Speaker 1: Rachel McAdams and Ryan Goss, absolutely silent, can can salvage
Speaker 1: the Notebook. I think we're going to get a lot
Speaker 1: of complaints, do you reckon? And for that, I give
Speaker 1: you seventy point. What will people say, just like, oh,
Speaker 1: it is a good film, they'll say They'll say at
Speaker 1: the beginning, I felt sorry that people said she was
Speaker 1: made of stone. But then towards the end she said
Speaker 1: that the Notebook was her worst forever main and I
Speaker 1: realized she actually is made of stone. I stopped feeling sorry. Fair,
Speaker 1: that's fine. I can handle that sort of trolling. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's quite well thought out. Feedback from that, what is
Speaker 1: the film that you could or have watched the most
Speaker 1: over and over again. The Nightmare Before Christmas, mate, I
Speaker 1: was going to mention that up top, because you're talking,
Speaker 1: we're talking about Willis and grummit, we're talking about stop
Speaker 1: motion animation. It's a little secret. I happen to fucking
Speaker 1: love stop motion animation. It's one of my favorite times.
Speaker 1: I absolutely love it, and The Nightmare for Christmas is
Speaker 1: one of the great, great examples of it. I loved
Speaker 1: that film so much. I love the music, I love yeah,
Speaker 1: the stop motion, I love the characters. I fucking love it.
Speaker 1: Tell me great, well, totally agree with all those things.
Speaker 1: It's such a magical, beautiful I feel like I've watched
Speaker 1: it like from when I was very little and could
Speaker 1: watch it and you know, every day, maybe not every day,
Speaker 1: got stuff to do, but I could definitely watch that
Speaker 1: over and over again, and it just feels it's so
Speaker 1: Christmasy and so sad and so happy, and so the
Speaker 1: song's great, what's this? What's this? That song when he
Speaker 1: goes into Christmas Land and all the trees have those
Speaker 1: like beautiful paintings on them, and it just feels so
Speaker 1: magical and like the most otherworldly of all the kids
Speaker 1: films I did. Kids then in invert commerce because I
Speaker 1: don't know, I wouldn't say it is a kid's film really,
Speaker 1: but no, it's quite that. It's so beautiful. The end
Speaker 1: is incredibly moving, I think the final moment, and if
Speaker 1: you have the soundtrack, there's a Patrick Stewart narration that
Speaker 1: is on the soundtrack that isn't in the film that
Speaker 1: is like a set up a prologue and an epilogue,
Speaker 1: And the Patrick Stewart narrated epilogue to this day, I
Speaker 1: think is one of the most profound things ever written.
Speaker 1: Oh really, it's so beautiful. It's just a little couple
Speaker 1: of paragraphs and it will change the where you live
Speaker 1: in I really love it. I think it's it's so
Speaker 1: good and I'm sort of surprised it's not in the film,
Speaker 1: but the end of the film is equally beautiful. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just that that hill that Jack and Sally are
Speaker 1: sort of silhouetted against with the moon behind the hill
Speaker 1: that like spirals into this really yes sweet shape. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Sandy Claus is a great ideas, It's a really
Speaker 1: funny idea. Y Santa Claus is It's great, great, And
Speaker 1: then all the kids that get those horrible Christmas presents,
Speaker 1: like the head and stuff like that. It's great. It's
Speaker 1: probably gonna make you look back over the rest of
Speaker 1: the episode, but you get one thousand and nineteen points
Speaker 1: for that. Wow. Yeah, I think it's when you give
Speaker 1: me a high school. I'm really pleased, But then I'm
Speaker 1: also thinking, God, I got really bad schools. For the
Speaker 1: others you often didn't get a score. You can keep
Speaker 1: that in mind, and you regret. You've been wonderful. Thank
Speaker 1: You've been an absolute delight, and you've had some excellent
Speaker 1: answers and some really good stuff. However, when you were
Speaker 1: at Chessington Murder Adventures with all your friends and they'd said,
Speaker 1: we're all going, and you were like, in your head,
Speaker 1: you're thinking, I hate theme parts, I'm scared. I don't
Speaker 1: want to go on any of the rides, but I
Speaker 1: got Foamo, I don't want to miss out, and you said,
Speaker 1: ha ha she sort of jokingly, but you meant he
Speaker 1: was like, well I'll coming and hold all the bags ha.
Speaker 1: And everyone thought fucking great. Because the locker system at
Speaker 1: Chessing him notoriously tricky, and so you went to Chessing.
Speaker 1: You sort of had a nice day, but a lot
Speaker 1: of it you were on your own, like your friends
Speaker 1: kept popping off to do rides, and the cues are ages.
Speaker 1: You couldn't stand the queue with him because you can
Speaker 1: get out of the que because of those mazes. So
Speaker 1: a lot of time you just had tope bags all
Speaker 1: over here. You spent a lot of time you couldn't
Speaker 1: reach your phone. Sometimes you were like you, I couldn't
Speaker 1: get your phones with all the bags. Just a lot
Speaker 1: of the day just staring bleakly at rides and in
Speaker 1: a way the Chessington sniper who local sniper, and he's
Speaker 1: sort of he's still getting better and sometimes the rides
Speaker 1: are too fast from he started off bold like I'll
Speaker 1: shoot people on the rides, but it's too too hard.
Speaker 1: So he's had to be like static people. And he's
Speaker 1: like that lady over there looks fucking miserable. Maybe I'll
Speaker 1: be doing her a favor. She's weighed down by bags,
Speaker 1: just staring bleakly at right Annie, And he said, I'll
Speaker 1: have us, I'll try shot, I'll aim for a read
Speaker 1: and he got your bang right in the right boob
Speaker 1: and you went, what has happened there? And then he
Speaker 1: will Thank God, my heart's right behind my left boob
Speaker 1: where I put him, and then he went, I'll have
Speaker 1: another goat reaimed shot you in the left boom. He went, oh, man,
Speaker 1: I wish that guy was a buck gay and fell
Speaker 1: on the floor under all the bags. All the type
Speaker 1: bags covered you, so no one saw that you were
Speaker 1: bleeding because all the tape bags were absorbing all the blood.
Speaker 1: And you died and your friends picked up the bags.
Speaker 1: So cheers Annie, and they all ran off cheering and screaming.
Speaker 1: No one noticed and that those friends, by the way,
Speaker 1: were the cheerleaders and there they were, no no care
Speaker 1: in the world for you, just ran off into the
Speaker 1: night screaming. I'm wondering around Chessington with a coffin, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm like, And I'm like, where's where's Annie?
Speaker 1: And I see you rotting? Yeah, because the rats at Chessington, famously,
Speaker 1: they're everywhere. They've started eating you. They've gone through your
Speaker 1: chest left, right side, left side, They've eaten your insides,
Speaker 1: they've come out through your belly button. I'm sorry, Annie,
Speaker 1: this is what you chose and they've devoured you in
Speaker 1: tests there's stuff everywhere. I'm like, fucking no, these cheer
Speaker 1: leaders are the worst groups. You should have been in
Speaker 1: the slags all along. I knew it, so I get
Speaker 1: what I can of you. There's bits everywhere. I'm chasing
Speaker 1: down rodents to get extra bits of you. It's a mess.
Speaker 1: You've got bits of the other people's clothes on you,
Speaker 1: waterproofs everything, stuff you in the coffin best I can,
Speaker 1: but it's absolutely round in there. There's only enough room
Speaker 1: in this coffin for you to take one DVD that
Speaker 1: I can slip in the side for you to take
Speaker 1: to the other side. And when you get there, it's
Speaker 1: movie night every night, and one night it's your movie night.
Speaker 1: What film are you taking? The show everyone? When you
Speaker 1: get to Heaven? Annie McGrath, I think we should that's
Speaker 1: what we should paint that story. I think that's the short. Yeah, lovely, yeah, lovely?
Speaker 1: Should this be a film that I've spoken about already?
Speaker 1: Can be the film that I think I'm going to
Speaker 1: take in my coffin to Chocolate Land? Is Coco? Oh No,
Speaker 1: that's me smiling, smiling love Coco. Um, yeah, that's smiling. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I didn't do it much, you know, you
Speaker 1: just shut your eyes. That's oh, that's sleeping, that's sleeping,
Speaker 1: that's sleeping, or dead and the dead's eyes open, isn't it?
Speaker 1: Um coco? I think it would be useful to have
Speaker 1: a film that is such a beautiful representation of death
Speaker 1: and afterlife. I think that would be good for morale
Speaker 1: in the Chocolate Land Heaven. And it's got a lovely soundtrack.
Speaker 1: It's just a great film. It's a happy film and
Speaker 1: a sad film. It's got everything you want from a film. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what eyes? Yeah? Yeah, I love it. Lovely choice. Annie McGrath,
Speaker 1: Thank you for doing this. You're brilliant. Is there anthing
