Speaker 1: Look at hell. It's only films to be buried with. Hello,
Speaker 1: and welcome to films to be buried with. My name
Speaker 1: is Brett Goldstein. I'm a comedian, an actor, a writer,
Speaker 1: a director, a medallist, and I love film. As ice
Speaker 1: Cube once said, I think, to me, reality is better
Speaker 1: than being fake. It's why I prefer a good documentary
Speaker 1: feature like The Fog of War as opposed to the
Speaker 1: silly stuff like a bloody action films. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, I hear you, ice Cube, but I
Speaker 1: think there is room for both types. Every week I
Speaker 1: invite a special guest over. I tell them they've died.
Speaker 1: Then I get them to discuss their life through the
Speaker 1: films that meant the most of the previous guests include
Speaker 1: Barry Jenkins, Kevin Smith, Sharon Stone, and even Bled Clambles.
Speaker 1: But this week it is the brilliant actor, writer and
Speaker 1: comedian Alyssa lim Paris. Head over to the Patreon at
Speaker 1: patreon dot com forward slash Brett Goldsteam, where you're getting

Speaker 1: but there was more. There was more, there kept being more. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's nice. A nice intro. It is. It feels nice.
Speaker 1: It's lovely to meet you. This is the first time
Speaker 1: we've met. I've been a fan of yours. I saw
Speaker 1: you from well, I saw you from when you were
Speaker 1: making videos of pretending to be your mum, which is
Speaker 1: so funny and delightful. Thanks. And the secret to them,
Speaker 1: if I may, is they're not remotely mean. They're like
Speaker 1: completely sort of observation and I think everyone can relate,
Speaker 1: and they're funny and they are like incisive about hum
Speaker 1: humans and stuff like that. But they're not at all mean.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure your mom loves them. Well. Thanks, that's
Speaker 1: so sweet. That's how I feel about tag Lasso too.
Speaker 1: I feel the same way about watching your shows. It's no,
Speaker 1: it's true, it's a it's a I appreciate that coming
Speaker 1: from you, because, yeah, that was always the goal. I
Speaker 1: love my mom and she's part of the video. She
Speaker 1: films them and stuff, so she films it. Yeah, does
Speaker 1: she ever go that's too much? You know what it is?
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll drop like you know mollyne did. Then she's like, well,
Speaker 1: you can't say, Molly, she might be watching this. So
Speaker 1: sometimes I have to cut personal references like ah, there's
Speaker 1: my sister calling again. She said, don't you cut that?
Speaker 1: Cut that. I can't have that drama. So tell me
Speaker 1: tell me how you the very first one? Then did
Speaker 1: you say to him? I'd love to make a video
Speaker 1: bit like how did it start? Because I can see
Speaker 1: how it then became more normal very first way. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, my daddy died and my mom was living
Speaker 1: with me as I was an adult, and she was
Speaker 1: living with me because she was having a tough time,
Speaker 1: so she moved in with me into my New York City,
Speaker 1: very tiny apartment. Right. I was just spending so much
Speaker 1: time with her, and at the time, I was making
Speaker 1: videos for a website, so like a lot of what
Speaker 1: I was doing already was making videos and character videos,
Speaker 1: so it was kind of I was just like, we
Speaker 1: should do one together with each other instead of for
Speaker 1: the website. You want to make one, And she was
Speaker 1: like sure, So she had already been in a couple
Speaker 1: of videos with me, so she was kind of like
Speaker 1: on board with it, and then it just became a
Speaker 1: really fun thing we did. I love that. I love it.
Speaker 1: I bet there is a lot of mothers listening to this.
Speaker 1: You're very jealous. That's quite an unusual relationship in it.
Speaker 1: It's right, true, true, true. When we're recording this, I
Speaker 1: don't know when it will come out, but you have
Speaker 1: a special it's called No Bad Days, and it came
Speaker 1: out two weeks ago on Peacocks. Yeah, and so I
Speaker 1: think to be honest, I think you should be honest. Yet, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm heart very good to say I've watched forty minutes
Speaker 1: of it because I had to go to set, and
Speaker 1: then when I came back from set to watch the
Speaker 1: rest of it, the link had in sex by it
Speaker 1: and I don't have Peacock, and I was so stressed
Speaker 1: about me because I thought, I haven't seen the end
Speaker 1: of this show. Okay, so let me think forty minutes.
Speaker 1: So what was like the last thing you saw? If
Speaker 1: you can remember the thing that I found about it,
Speaker 1: because it's really interesting, tell you, tell the listeners what
Speaker 1: it's about. And then I'll tell you the experience of
Speaker 1: the beginning of it. You'd tell it, okay, okay, So yeah,
Speaker 1: the show's about losing my dad and loving my dad
Speaker 1: and learning to live without my dad. And I lost
Speaker 1: him when I was twenty five to brain cancer, and
Speaker 1: I was doing stand up at the time and just
Speaker 1: was very like, I can't go back to doing the
Speaker 1: stand up I was doing so right when I got back,
Speaker 1: I moved home to be with him, and then once
Speaker 1: he died and I moved back to the city, I
Speaker 1: was like, I need to talk about this. It's the
Speaker 1: only thing that's on my mind. But I can't do
Speaker 1: it at like basement shows. So I just started making
Speaker 1: a show about it, a solo show of sorts. So
Speaker 1: you never did that stuff in clubs that I did,
Speaker 1: I did, I did. But the origin of I suppose
Speaker 1: the solo show was like, I want to talk about
Speaker 1: the whole thing. I want to be able to do
Speaker 1: some comedy and do some serious stuff, which I felt
Speaker 1: that you have a little less leeway on when I
Speaker 1: was doing at that point, like five minute or ten
Speaker 1: minute spots. But then this show I toured on the road,
Speaker 1: which was an experience in comedy clubs and stuff. Oh wow,
Speaker 1: How often was it a struggle? Can I tell? Well? Yeah,
Speaker 1: because the thing that's most I found really interesting is
Speaker 1: I knew where it's about, but you and I think
Speaker 1: it's brilliant and brave and powerful and great, but there's
Speaker 1: no you open bang. You opened with heavy shit right,
Speaker 1: first line, heavy ships, and it's a real like wow, okay,
Speaker 1: it's a real sort of statement of intent for a
Speaker 1: comedy show. And I could completely understand how an unprepared
Speaker 1: audience made like oh geez, totally totally yes. That must
Speaker 1: have been so interesting with different audiences. Yeah, yeah, definitely,
Speaker 1: I would say, well, one, when I would do it
Speaker 1: on the road, I would always preface, I would get
Speaker 1: I would do a little bit of crowd work before
Speaker 1: going into that so that wasn't the first thing. Um
Speaker 1: and same within the day of the taping. I did
Speaker 1: some crowd work before that. But yeah, the road was interesting.
Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes you'd be surprised and it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: this audience came on board with me. And then sometimes
Speaker 1: it's like this is a bachelor at party and it's
Speaker 1: not their fault, but we're have you heard me? I've
Speaker 1: said this a couple of times, but it's I think
Speaker 1: it's worth repeating. Have you ever done shows in Philly? Okay,
Speaker 1: so how about Boston? No I happened, Okay, I've got
Speaker 1: you gotta tour. Okay, New York in LA. Yeah, New
Speaker 1: York in LA. Crowds are like yeah kind and I
Speaker 1: don't know more, but yeah, Philly's really rowdy. They're like
Speaker 1: just a sports culture that drink a lot. It's just
Speaker 1: a really awesome town. But it's very rowdy, right, And
Speaker 1: I was doing that part where I run in a circle,
Speaker 1: it's like, if you're listening, it's like the most sort
Speaker 1: of intimate part of the show where there's no jokes.
Speaker 1: It's like meant to just kind of yeah, it's not
Speaker 1: it's sad. It's very it's sad. Yeah, I mean that that.
Speaker 1: I was like, well, this is this is really sad,
Speaker 1: I mean, very moving and anyway, that section in particular
Speaker 1: is tough. Yeah, it's it's tough. That's why I stopped
Speaker 1: doing the show early on. That part started to make
Speaker 1: me cry every time, and I was like, I gotta
Speaker 1: stop this. So it's like a sad it's a sad part.
Speaker 1: And as I'm doing it, I like, go down on
Speaker 1: the ground for that part where he's in a coma
Speaker 1: and I just hear someone in the bag just go
Speaker 1: what the fuck? And you know, at that point you
Speaker 1: can't really even like joke out of it, the point
Speaker 1: like if it were a joke part, but it was
Speaker 1: like I just gotta kind of take it. Did you
Speaker 1: carry on with the show? Did you have backup stuff?
Speaker 1: I care? I would say I carried on with the show,
Speaker 1: and I got off stage. One of my best friends
Speaker 1: open for me, and we were both just like, all right,
Speaker 1: this is this is different. But it helped me because
Speaker 1: then every time moving forward, I opened my shows by
Speaker 1: talking about that and being like, so this is gonna
Speaker 1: be weird, this this is gonna be And then it
Speaker 1: almost like helped along my tour that I was like,
Speaker 1: it's not going to get worse than that. So when
Speaker 1: I got to the taping, I wasn't super scared. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's such a thing like listen. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've ever had this podcast, but one of the reasons
Speaker 1: I do is well, good, thank you if you like.
Speaker 1: And I watched and I listened to the whole episode,
Speaker 1: so not to brag or whatever, Yeah, Bill Harris entire episodes.
Speaker 1: So yeah, someone making more of an effort. And but
Speaker 1: you know, I like to talk about death on it.
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons it is because I think
Speaker 1: it's something we don't talk about enough generally, and it's
Speaker 1: obviously a part of everyone's life. But I also what's
Speaker 1: interesting about your show, and I wondered the experience of
Speaker 1: you making it and different oudiences, is because it is
Speaker 1: something we don't talk about enough. I don't think generally
Speaker 1: as a culture. Ay, it scares us and it makes
Speaker 1: us sad and uncomfortable, and we don't know how to
Speaker 1: deal with people who are grieving either because we don't. Yes,
Speaker 1: we'd rather not sort of look at it. And so
Speaker 1: even doing your thing, which is totally legit and brilliant
Speaker 1: in your stand up show, I can understand a reaction
Speaker 1: of like, oh God, I don't want to I don't
Speaker 1: want to hear this stuff because I'm in denial that
Speaker 1: this exists. Be or B. I feel really sad for you,
Speaker 1: and I can't cope with having feeling. So can we
Speaker 1: can we not do this? Do you know what I mean? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think so. I think that's why with the show
Speaker 1: I was always wanting to bounce in and out. So
Speaker 1: it's like if I'm going to talk seriously, then I'll
Speaker 1: break it afterwards with jokes, so that like I'm almost
Speaker 1: allowing people the space to feel it and then be like,
Speaker 1: well we'll laugh after this. So even if you're sad
Speaker 1: right now, like I'm going to give you a break
Speaker 1: in a second. Yeah, And then did you give to
Speaker 1: the part where people raise their hands? So there's a
Speaker 1: part the end where I like ask if anyone else
Speaker 1: like has lost a dad or a mom, or a
Speaker 1: brother or sister, And and that was really important to
Speaker 1: me towards the end of the show because there's something
Speaker 1: about watching everyone every club, every city, watching everyone's hand
Speaker 1: go up, and there is this moment of like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're all like, yes, this is it's a shared experience
Speaker 1: that we're all going through, which helped I think that
Speaker 1: feeling of like oh, you're sad for me, it's like, well,
Speaker 1: we're all it's normal. It's like it's sad, but it's
Speaker 1: also normal every one of us is dealing with something
Speaker 1: like this. And then it ends on zooma dancing and
Speaker 1: everyone gets up and dances, so yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: it yeah it all yeah, yeah said anyways, I'd say
Speaker 1: that though the last quesson I have on this is
Speaker 1: a fun all very fascinating. Is having done this show,
Speaker 1: which you toured for like a year. I'm guessing around
Speaker 1: that making it to this special. Has it helped you
Speaker 1: in terms of your grieving, in terms of moving on,
Speaker 1: in terms of you're making I don't know sensible this.
Speaker 1: Has it made it worse continually talking about it? Or
Speaker 1: has it freed you? Like how do you feel about
Speaker 1: yeah too stuff? Yeah? So okay, so this show which
Speaker 1: I talked about a little too, but I've I've actually
Speaker 1: been doing it for six years. So I have been
Speaker 1: doing a version of this on and off for six years.
Speaker 1: And I think at first, so I would say it
Speaker 1: went in stages like at first, I do think it
Speaker 1: helped to talk about it because I felt so alone
Speaker 1: with it that I was just like, I need to
Speaker 1: talk about it. And then I think it hit a
Speaker 1: point where it hurt to be reliving, especially that just
Speaker 1: running experience. And then I lived life and grew up
Speaker 1: and moved and changed a lot of things in my life,
Speaker 1: and then the pandemic and then I revisited it and
Speaker 1: it was cool to see how much I'd changed and
Speaker 1: how different I was from when I first started the show,
Speaker 1: and how maybe still I had some letting go to
Speaker 1: do with my dad. And I think that this final
Speaker 1: chapter was very helpful. This was a way that I
Speaker 1: was like almost than the opportunity to spend a little
Speaker 1: bit of extra time with him and then and then
Speaker 1: really let it go and move forward. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it like took me through the stages of Greek
Speaker 1: in a way. It kind of took me through it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So that must have been very motion of the very
Speaker 1: final performance of that then, having spent six years with
Speaker 1: it totally. You take two things first special, you take
Speaker 1: two shows. First show, I was just like and second show,
Speaker 1: I think I cried through every segment. It was basically
Speaker 1: unusable because I was just basically yeah. Basically at every
Speaker 1: moment I was, I was because yeah, I was just yeah, yeah. Oh.
Speaker 1: Can I have one more question on it, please please?
Speaker 1: What did or has your mom made of this show
Speaker 1: And was it difficult doing it with if she was
Speaker 1: in the room, or how was that side of it?
Speaker 1: I think it was like the first time, but my
Speaker 1: mom has watched this show a lot. She's seen it
Speaker 1: a lot. He was on the road, and she came
Speaker 1: to a few locations and she came to one where
Speaker 1: my friend was at it, and afterwards she's like, your
Speaker 1: mom was mouthing all the words it's time to end show,
Speaker 1: It's time we got to wrap this up. But I
Speaker 1: think that my dad was really a joyful person and
Speaker 1: brought so much life and energy, and it was just
Speaker 1: a really big loss. So in a way, I think
Speaker 1: my mom being able to come on this, like see
Speaker 1: the show and see other people react to my dad,
Speaker 1: I think we both I think it helped both of
Speaker 1: we were both so attached to my dad that I
Speaker 1: think probably the same experience I had with it she
Speaker 1: had with it, because I know she was emotional too
Speaker 1: about it being over. But also she's now moving and
Speaker 1: she's starting She's dyed her hair blonde and got a
Speaker 1: nose ring, and you know, she's like moved up. We're
Speaker 1: both like, yeah, we're both different, So it's kind of like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think we've both had a similar experience with it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's absolutely incredible. Alsa I have forgotten to
Speaker 1: tell you something. It's weird that I didn't tell you
Speaker 1: this up to it's particularly weird this time that my
Speaker 1: memory is this bad. But I forgot. I just have
Speaker 1: to because I forgot to tell you. I've got to
Speaker 1: tell you you've died. I don't know I heard. Haven't
Speaker 1: I been through enough? Well that's why. That's why you've done.
Speaker 1: You've been through enough. It's yeah, it's time. I'll just
Speaker 1: tell you on the light because I am in absolute darkness. Okay,
Speaker 1: Brett has this weird like not weird, but he has
Speaker 1: this like fuzzyness behind him. And then it was very
Speaker 1: you said I died, and then you sort of became
Speaker 1: a ghost and you disappeared into the background. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: look and then well now with the light it's a
Speaker 1: little less profound, but there it is. And then you
Speaker 1: just left. Oh my god, yes you were the grim Reaper.
Speaker 1: It is scary. You've died. Wow. Oh coming this way,
Speaker 1: it's even scarier. Yeah, yeah, it's pretty good stuff. Tell
Speaker 1: me this. How did you die? Oh? Well, it's kind
Speaker 1: of you ever have those days where you like, you
Speaker 1: have so much coffee you haven't had any water, and
Speaker 1: then you go out and your friends like do you
Speaker 1: want to get a coffee? And you're like, you know what,
Speaker 1: if I think if I have this cup of coffee,
Speaker 1: I'll die. That happened to me. And it was cold brew,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I think I'm gonna die if
Speaker 1: I have this. But it was cold brew and it
Speaker 1: was all the milk and it was homemade on and
Speaker 1: I was like, I gotta I gotta have at least
Speaker 1: a sip boom done out like because my heart went,
Speaker 1: my heart went yeah yeah, instant in the cafe. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, next to my friend who your last yummy?
Speaker 1: My last heart is yummy? Good? Yeah yeah, I mean good,
Speaker 1: yeah good. Which is the day of your next special?
Speaker 1: So you you dine friend of your friend. It's quite
Speaker 1: dramatic for your friend. But now she has a solo
Speaker 1: show about me dying, and so it goes, this is
Speaker 1: a business. This is this is a business. Okay, that's good.
Speaker 1: Do you I mean, this is a weird question. Now
Speaker 1: was ask people, and obviously it's very different in your case.
Speaker 1: Do you worry about death? I ask? But obviously you've
Speaker 1: thought about it a lot. Do you worry about it
Speaker 1: for yourself? Is it something you fear? Do you fear
Speaker 1: dying yourself? You know, I'd love to say that I
Speaker 1: don't because of this experience. But my dad like wasn't
Speaker 1: ready for he was scared and he wasn't ready. And
Speaker 1: I think that that tripped me out a little, this
Speaker 1: feeling of like, I don't know, I guess when you're young,
Speaker 1: you kind of assume like when people die, they're like
Speaker 1: ready or they're at peace or that. So I think
Speaker 1: he was at peace with his life and the way
Speaker 1: he lived, but he wanted more of it. And so
Speaker 1: I may be haunted by that feeling of like I
Speaker 1: could go before I'm ready, so, you know, trying to
Speaker 1: do whatever I want now because I'm very aware of
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think I'm I think I'm still scared
Speaker 1: of it, for sure. How do you feel? I feel,
Speaker 1: weirdly more scared of other people dying. That's what successes me.
Speaker 1: I'm much more worried about other people dying. Me dying,
Speaker 1: I'm less bothered about, although I'm sure I would be
Speaker 1: at the time. Ship yeah, I will be like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I didn't mean this, and I definitely I
Speaker 1: definitely worry about getting everything done. Yeah you know, so yes,
Speaker 1: but I'm more obsessed about other people. That worries me more.
Speaker 1: That makes sense, because we feel it more obviously. The
Speaker 1: other one is we're going or is losing people. It's
Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you do you
Speaker 1: what do you think happens when you die? Well, I
Speaker 1: group super religious, so I think that I'm reluctant to
Speaker 1: believe that nothing happens. I really do feel my dad,
Speaker 1: I've really, I really felt when he died, just this
Speaker 1: sense of like we are all kind of still here,
Speaker 1: like we are all still here, just in different forms.
Speaker 1: So whether that, I don't know. I think you're still
Speaker 1: around around just ye maybe you're not conscious, but I
Speaker 1: think that like we are, all our souls are all
Speaker 1: swimming around. I think I have to believe that. I
Speaker 1: just I don't know where else his soul would go.
Speaker 1: I don't think it. That's what I felt when my
Speaker 1: dadad is like, oh he's he's still right here, just
Speaker 1: his he's still right Here's just his body's gone. But
Speaker 1: I don't know if I think that's more for maybe
Speaker 1: the people left behind than the people who die. My
Speaker 1: dad feels he's still here. I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Do you talk, do you talk to him? Do you
Speaker 1: still feel that way? Yeah? I do. I I sort
Speaker 1: of find him, and I would say quiet and nature,
Speaker 1: And if I meet him, he seems to show up
Speaker 1: in ways that maybe or even just my own fabrication
Speaker 1: or maybe I'm just looking for it. But I do
Speaker 1: still and he's like very much within me. So I
Speaker 1: do still feel I do still feel him, and sometimes
Speaker 1: I we used to sort of like to this to
Speaker 1: each other. So sometimes I'll give a little. Maybe I'll
Speaker 1: give a little to him, and yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: if I talk. I don't necessarily hold conversations with them. Well,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. There is a heaven. In the case
Speaker 1: of your dad, it goes I think that it goes
Speaker 1: both ways. That that you're that you, your soul does
Speaker 1: stick around and hang out with you if you so wish.
Speaker 1: But in your case, you're going to heaven. But for
Speaker 1: a big, cloudy one. I'm going to the word. I'm
Speaker 1: going to the big the big one. You made it
Speaker 1: to the big one now, hell yeah, but we don't
Speaker 1: say that there. What is it? What is it? What
Speaker 1: is your favorite thing? Because it's filled with the favorite thing.
Speaker 1: What is it? Oh, my gosh, Swedish fish. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: the seats are made of Swedish fish. The Wold. The
Speaker 1: place absolutely reeks, and it's your heaven. And there's Swedish
Speaker 1: fish served on treys morning. The coffee is blended Swedish.
Speaker 1: The serial is coffee took me down. I don't want
Speaker 1: to see coffee again once I'm up there. Coffee even
Speaker 1: you're saying it is kind of rude. But yes, okay, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: Everyone's very excited to see you. They're big fans. They've
Speaker 1: watched all of your stuff, including the end of your special.
Speaker 1: Because they are much better people. Well, they have a
Speaker 1: lot of time, they don't have to make money. They're
Speaker 1: up there. Yeah, and they won't know about your life,
Speaker 1: but they won't know about it through the medium of film.
Speaker 1: Interesting in it. The first thing they ask you, it's
Speaker 1: what's the first film you remember seeing at Okay, this
Speaker 1: was was tough. I think it was probably Matilda. I
Speaker 1: think I have a strong memory of really wanting to
Speaker 1: be able to move things with my mind, the Danny
Speaker 1: de Vite film, the excellent film. Yes, yeah, it was
Speaker 1: just it was so exciting to see someone my age
Speaker 1: with all these superpowers, and you feel so trapped when
Speaker 1: you're young, you can't do anything, so to see someone
Speaker 1: who's able to You can't drive, you can't you don't
Speaker 1: have a you can't go outside without holding your parents hand.
Speaker 1: And so to watch this girl be able to do
Speaker 1: crazy things with her mind was exciting. Do you do
Speaker 1: you remember seeing that cinema or was that on video? No?
Speaker 1: I don't, I want to say, on video at home.
Speaker 1: I feel like I don't have a ton of memories
Speaker 1: from a young age going to the movie theater. I
Speaker 1: feel we were a movie at home. You're a nine child, right,
Speaker 1: are you a niny child? No? I have a brother.
Speaker 1: Okay is three years Okay? Are you plays? Oh? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're super close. We're super close. He um. Because I
Speaker 1: also remembered watching this is probably a little bit later.
Speaker 1: But have you ever seen Searching for Bobby Fisher? You
Speaker 1: know the chess? Yes? The chess. Yes. My brother was
Speaker 1: like a competitive chess player. So that was a that
Speaker 1: was like, that's also a movie that That's probably the
Speaker 1: movie I watched most as a kid. That movie still
Speaker 1: holds up. I watched it recently. Still great. Matilda is
Speaker 1: Carrie for kids discuss? Okay, so there's a bit of
Speaker 1: a blind spot we're gonna find on this podcast. I
Speaker 1: am like a big woos. I haven't watched nearly any
Speaker 1: scary movies out of blind fear. Okay, so then let's
Speaker 1: discuss this. What is the scariest film you've ever seen? If? Okay,
Speaker 1: and I can't even say I actually watched it. And
Speaker 1: this was in theaters all my friends were going. I
Speaker 1: knew I didn't like scary movies, but it was like
Speaker 1: middle school or high school, and I had to go.
Speaker 1: And it was the Exorcism of what, yes, the Exorcism
Speaker 1: of Emily Rowse, And I just remember sitting in the
Speaker 1: back row covering my face the entire time and just
Speaker 1: like ever so often covering my ears and yeah, because
Speaker 1: that was so scary because I was religious, so it
Speaker 1: was like, this could happen, This could happen. This is
Speaker 1: in the realm of possibility. This could happen if I
Speaker 1: say a swear word, yeah or whatever. It's quite good
Speaker 1: that one. And that was the last time you watched
Speaker 1: a horror film. You're like, nfe things I want to say.
Speaker 1: I want to say, I mean, I was in a
Speaker 1: horror film. I probably I've really seen something. But in
Speaker 1: terms of like sitting down and watch and so I
Speaker 1: know it's fake. I know that blood is not real blood.
Speaker 1: I know that, but once it's in my head, I
Speaker 1: can't stop think of it. I was watching the horror
Speaker 1: film that you were in. Well have you noticed it?
Speaker 1: I think no. I did watch it, and I think
Speaker 1: it was fine because I I knew it was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's my friend Ron. So it was like he's my friend,
Speaker 1: so yes, he's he's a monster, but he's my palce
Speaker 1: so I can. I can. Yeah, I still like jumped.
Speaker 1: I still jumped. It's like, how why are you jumping?
Speaker 1: You were there, you were in that closet. Yeah, there
Speaker 1: was one shot that was like in a dark alley,
Speaker 1: and I remember being like, this is I'm scared. I'm
Speaker 1: scared of the dark. Last night I locked my I
Speaker 1: heard it always. I locked my bedroom door. It's like,
Speaker 1: if someone has broken into my apartment, they're gonna break
Speaker 1: into my bedroom door. This isn't gonna Yeah. I got
Speaker 1: two front doors with double locks. One's a great It's
Speaker 1: like if they made it through that silently, I think
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to make it. I would in
Speaker 1: bedroom door. You bought yourself in time, though, and in
Speaker 1: that time, I'm you're planning to turn al out through
Speaker 1: the wall. Yeah exactly, I'm channeling Matilda. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: get me through this wall. Yeah. What about crying? What's
Speaker 1: the film that made you cry the most? So? Now
Speaker 1: this one horror? I had like one. When I heard
Speaker 1: this question, I was like, Oh, this is I could,
Speaker 1: this is kind of my genre, this is like, this
Speaker 1: is why I watch film. So okay, I would I
Speaker 1: have to say Interstellar takes the lead that when when
Speaker 1: Matthewikonda has just watching his children grow up. Oh that's insane.
Speaker 1: I mean we are both your parents life, Yes they are. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that that might have been like a I
Speaker 1: think I probably watched it soon after my dad died,
Speaker 1: and maybe it was just because I'm like, I don't
Speaker 1: even know if it's that set, but I was it
Speaker 1: is probably like, oh, I'm my dad's not gonna watch
Speaker 1: me grow up, So it was probably like it because
Speaker 1: because yeah, I heard that was a while ago. Now
Speaker 1: that I watched me like four years Jesus Coco. Have
Speaker 1: you seen Coco? Kaka is one of my favorites, and Coco,
Speaker 1: of course it made me cry because is a Pixar film,
Speaker 1: and that's monsters. But genuinely made me feel better about death,
Speaker 1: changed the way. I agree, I agree, I agree. That's
Speaker 1: a perfect film. Yeah, I was so beautiful. It kind
Speaker 1: of reminds me of the way you introduced me were
Speaker 1: it was like, I kept thinking, like, this will be
Speaker 1: the saddest part, this is where I'll cry the month,
Speaker 1: and then it just kept topping it and topping it. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's a good cry that movie. Though, You're right, it's
Speaker 1: like a really happy sad cry because it's not Kaka
Speaker 1: is one of the rare ones that isn't like it
Speaker 1: makes you cry, but it's like a nice thing that
Speaker 1: is happening, whereof in so many of their films, like
Speaker 1: you're just trying to destroy me, You're trying to destroy me.
Speaker 1: And that's a totally, totally, totally yeah that Coco remember me?
Speaker 1: Oh that song? I mean, yeah, that's that's probably on
Speaker 1: my Spotify top whatever that list. Is that the whole
Speaker 1: thing of talking about death and death being part of
Speaker 1: the world and that the idea of you live as
Speaker 1: long as you remembered is a very beautiful, totally totally
Speaker 1: It is funny now that we're talking about this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: inside out Coco, what it sounds like in soul. It
Speaker 1: is like remarkable that these movies are tackling like life's
Speaker 1: issues in a way that maybe sometimes adult movies aren't
Speaker 1: even quite doing to that same capacity. Yeah, they're really
Speaker 1: I think you can take it. They take them for
Speaker 1: granted because they're Disney and animated and popular, but they
Speaker 1: are tackling huge Inside Out is a fucking art movie.
Speaker 1: It's encapsulating consciousness through visuals. It's yes, yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it's true. Clever, clever, clever, and that thing of like
Speaker 1: making you, making you crime, making you feel, but rewarding
Speaker 1: you as well with like happiness, and it's got a
Speaker 1: nice balance. Yeah. It never leaves you feeling like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you left me feeling just sad. Yeah, yeah, maybe that's true.
Speaker 1: They learned from those They learned, they destroyed a generation,
Speaker 1: and then they were like, all right, we got to
Speaker 1: a little bit better for you. Yeah, okay, what is
Speaker 1: the film that you love? People don't like it? It's no, yeah,
Speaker 1: a critics favorite, but you love it and everyone else
Speaker 1: is a dumb dumb like, well, you know, I feel
Speaker 1: like the ones I chose people love, but I looked
Speaker 1: them up on Rotten Tomatoes and I love Misscongeniality. I
Speaker 1: looked at Miscongeniality for rotten. To me, that's crazy, that's
Speaker 1: crazy that I know. It's a great it's a films,
Speaker 1: so yeah, yeah, I love Sandra Book and I just
Speaker 1: feel that was that was one of the first films
Speaker 1: I watched for I was like, oh, she's like a
Speaker 1: badass and she's it was just like it was a good,
Speaker 1: empowering film, saying Michael Caine, third best performance of his career. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I know, I know, and and iconic. I feel too,
Speaker 1: like you, everyone's seen it. It's a movie that most
Speaker 1: everyone's forty one percent. Yes, I think it's like Legally Blood,
Speaker 1: Legally Blonde wasn't necessarily critzily acclaimed, and now everyone's like,
Speaker 1: hang on that films fucking brilliant. It's perfect. It's a
Speaker 1: perfect film. You know what it is. It's sexism. It's
Speaker 1: sex and say it. You can say say it is
Speaker 1: it is. It's oh yeah, both of these women who
Speaker 1: are yeah, women women films boo boo, all right, they
Speaker 1: can't be pretty and smart? No, no, isn't it. I
Speaker 1: assume that is where that comes from with the bad reviews,
Speaker 1: because they're unequipp good films, right right, Okay, great answer.
Speaker 1: What's the film that you used to love? You loved it,
Speaker 1: but you've watched it recently and you've gone out, And
Speaker 1: that's the same for me. No more this. I feel
Speaker 1: that this is going to be this is maybe going
Speaker 1: to hurt some people. Okay, but I loved The Notebook.
Speaker 1: Who doesn't You watched The Notebook? Have you seen the Notebook? Yes?
Speaker 1: When did you watch it? When it came out or recently?
Speaker 1: I have it. I have a sister, so there's lots
Speaker 1: of films like that that I think I certainly came out. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Is she younger or older? She's two out? Nyah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They that's the thing when you have an older sibling,
Speaker 1: they kind of call the shots. I watched The Bourne
Speaker 1: Identity before legally bo okay a million times. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: didn't even get to that because we were rewatching searching
Speaker 1: for Bobby Fisher. Okay. So I watched The Notebook like
Speaker 1: when I was younger, and I was like, this is
Speaker 1: the most beautiful love story of all time, and then
Speaker 1: I rewatched it. I want to say this year, I
Speaker 1: was like, these people seem to hate each other's just
Speaker 1: like as an adult, you know, you're like, because when
Speaker 1: you're young, like, oh, that's so romantic and so fun.
Speaker 1: But then as an adult you're an adult relationship, you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: that would be a miss. If they seemed to the
Speaker 1: other guy and her seem to kind of get along
Speaker 1: in function, these two they don't really seem to be
Speaker 1: able to. Like I was just like, oh, that's gonna
Speaker 1: be a mess. They're gonna that's not gonna be a
Speaker 1: sustainable thing. Sure, they love each other, but I'm like,
Speaker 1: they don't really seem to. Yeah, gil, Yeah, they seem
Speaker 1: to have yeah, structural issues that are yeah, gonna really
Speaker 1: fuck them up. Yeah. Oh, and they're gonna keep reliving
Speaker 1: this every day. Yeah right, it's like every day we're
Speaker 1: gonna fight. It's like, well, I don't think you have
Speaker 1: to you have to fight every day? Yeah? Do that? Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The other guy was just kind of like super nice
Speaker 1: and he's it going and kind of got along with
Speaker 1: the family and everything. Yet and then this guy was like,
Speaker 1: but I mean it's still it still made me cry,
Speaker 1: it's still beautiful. But I was like, oh, I used
Speaker 1: to really idealize this relationship in a way that now
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, that seems exhausting. I'm tired. Who has
Speaker 1: the time. You gotta do chores and grocers. You gotta
Speaker 1: work because I can't be fighting as well. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you'll you'll really fit, but still fargulingly right, like your
Speaker 1: hotness gets you far for like a month, and then
Speaker 1: it's like okay, no, no, no, You're like you're you're
Speaker 1: annoying me. I don't care how how you are. Yeah, true, yeah.
Speaker 1: What is the film that means the most to you?
Speaker 1: Not necessarily the film itself is any good, but the
Speaker 1: experience you had around seeing the film will always make
Speaker 1: it special to you. I feel like I might have
Speaker 1: misread this question because the way you're saying it is
Speaker 1: sort of sounding like really nice, and that wasn't exactly
Speaker 1: the I think if I the movie, it doesn't have
Speaker 1: to be a nice answer. It can be I'll always
Speaker 1: remember this experience because it was fucking horrible. If that's
Speaker 1: what your answer was, well that was my answer. That
Speaker 1: was my answer was not really horrible. But I just
Speaker 1: remember anytime anyone wants to watch The Departed, which is
Speaker 1: like I'm from that region of the world of the
Speaker 1: US that sort of strong accented region. So anyway, it's
Speaker 1: a popular movie. And that was the first movie that
Speaker 1: I had a boy over and that I got caught
Speaker 1: kissing him. And then because of that, that's what made
Speaker 1: us made me have to have the sex talk with
Speaker 1: my parents. And granted we were like kissing. I didn't
Speaker 1: have sex like five years later, but I was like,
Speaker 1: it was so humiliating and horrifying because it was like
Speaker 1: the first time I had a boy over, probably like
Speaker 1: one of the first times I'd made out with a boy,
Speaker 1: and it was like I not only got caught kissing him,
Speaker 1: but also had to get sex talk after him. From
Speaker 1: The Departed from those boys. Yeah, okay, I will plaint
Speaker 1: in the film where you're kissing is my first question.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think that I was very invested
Speaker 1: in the on the Departed, So I don't because I
Speaker 1: rewatched it and I was like, oh, I I didn't
Speaker 1: have remember, so probably probably early yeah, probably. And when
Speaker 1: you say they caught you, did they walk in you
Speaker 1: You had your eyes closed kissing and they said what
Speaker 1: are you doing? Hey? Hey? No? I um, we had
Speaker 1: like a finished basement, so like you know, that was
Speaker 1: the spot. So I was in the basement, and I
Speaker 1: feel my parents were just kind of constantly coming down,
Speaker 1: like trying to offer food or whatever. So I like
Speaker 1: my eye was in like the stairs were here, and
Speaker 1: I was positioned this way, and I just yeah, while
Speaker 1: we were kissing, I saw my dad come down there
Speaker 1: and we like jumped off each other and then my yeah,
Speaker 1: and then it was like, yeah, did they remember did
Speaker 1: they say anything in front of the boy? Great question.
Speaker 1: I think like they didn't have to do. It was
Speaker 1: just so like, oh, we're not like this is where
Speaker 1: we're We're not We're not doing this. Do you know
Speaker 1: what's fascinating? That guy turned out to be a cup.
Speaker 1: He ended up becoming a cup, So maybe that was
Speaker 1: maybe that was a really formative. It was a formative
Speaker 1: moment for him too, because that's the whole movie is
Speaker 1: all about about. And yeah, huh they both like they're
Speaker 1: at it. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah that's me. He became
Speaker 1: a cop also because he realized what a thrill it
Speaker 1: was being coolt He was like, I want to be
Speaker 1: the catch. I want to be that guy. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: never again. Yeah, I was I let my guard down
Speaker 1: for one second. Never again. Yeah, what is the film?
Speaker 1: You most relate to. I do think this is kind
Speaker 1: of an easy answer, but I do think when I
Speaker 1: saw my Big Factory Wedding for the first time, I
Speaker 1: was like, wow, this is very cool to see a
Speaker 1: lot of my people in my family represented like this. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: that movie was like yeah, it was all the rave
Speaker 1: at church in the family. Did you all right? I
Speaker 1: have seen it, and I think I know a lot
Speaker 1: of people who feel that way. Now. It's fund it.
Speaker 1: It's really like fascinating that it. Obviously it's the sort
Speaker 1: of thing I think that people say like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is stereotypical or this is thing, but if it is you,
Speaker 1: you're like, no, this is bang on. This is very
Speaker 1: totally accurate. And this isn't as broad as it may see.
Speaker 1: I don't know, like it's interesting totally. It really hit
Speaker 1: with so many people. Yeah, yeah, I was telling someone
Speaker 1: the other day that, like, when my dad started dating
Speaker 1: my mom, he was and he was Greek as well,
Speaker 1: but he was a vegetarian and he like was a
Speaker 1: runner and sort of a hippie, and literally he had
Speaker 1: to before he took my mom on a first date.
Speaker 1: He had to go to dinner with her parents before
Speaker 1: he took her on a first date, and then before
Speaker 1: they got married, my mom's parents were like, well, you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to You're gonna have to eat meat, and
Speaker 1: he was like all right, and he just started eating meat. Wow.
Speaker 1: Sound like it's really not that. It's like comedically it's ended,
Speaker 1: but it's like a lot of that stuff is very
Speaker 1: h yeah, very yeah. Yeah love it. Listen in Paris.
Speaker 1: What's the what's the sexiest film you've ever seen? Okay,
Speaker 1: well this also I miss read a little as maybe
Speaker 1: the like first time I saw a movie and was like,
Speaker 1: oh it might it might still be. It might still
Speaker 1: be the time. It might still be because it is
Speaker 1: still the one that popped in my head. But I
Speaker 1: remember the first time I saw Twilight being like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, you know, because it's like the movie is
Speaker 1: so like they can't be together. It's so like it's
Speaker 1: so charged. It's like oh, and that's how it felt
Speaker 1: like when you're younger, like I'll die if I kiss
Speaker 1: this person, but like living without them is too unbearable
Speaker 1: that I have to kiss them. So that experience it
Speaker 1: was like such a young like yeah, yeah, such a yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just remember being like, man, this is it this
Speaker 1: is so, were you team Jacob or a team the
Speaker 1: other Geezer? Now? Definitely not the other geezer? Please, we
Speaker 1: don't even remember his name. Who needs some team Jacob?
Speaker 1: Of course I read those books too, and I remember
Speaker 1: feeling those books like Jacob's the wolf. Then I'm the
Speaker 1: other one. I don't want him. I don't want I
Speaker 1: don't want. I want the main guy. Yeah exactly, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't have a nuance to view. I
Speaker 1: just want I want Batman. Yeah, come on, yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: Would I won't go anywhere near that fucking wolf. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I don't trust them. Those books too were crazy, and
Speaker 1: at that age it's just like it was pre internet
Speaker 1: too pretty much. I think like at the very least,
Speaker 1: I couldn't like Google stuff in my room, Like it
Speaker 1: was like you had to be on the family computer.
Speaker 1: So just you must know this that Fifty Shades of
Speaker 1: Gray was originally Twilight fan fiiction. Did you know? That?
Speaker 1: Was it? Really? Yeah? That she then changed the names,
Speaker 1: but the first draft of it it was Edward Team Edward,
Speaker 1: isn't it Edward's That's that's it Edward. That makes total sense,
Speaker 1: That makes total sense. Yeah, that means yeah, exactly. So
Speaker 1: there you go. So I'm not I'm not wrong, I'm
Speaker 1: right in this. That was a highly sexually charged series. Yeah,
Speaker 1: topped only by yeah, literal erotica. Like those books are
Speaker 1: pretty much right. I haven't read them, but I think
Speaker 1: they're pretty much like socially acceptable, so it's an acceptable
Speaker 1: poet Twilight, fifty shades are gray. But I guess no,
Speaker 1: but fifty shades are gray. Yeah, there's a subcategory to
Speaker 1: this question. Troubling bone is worrying. Why don't a film
Speaker 1: you found the rousing that you weren't sure? You shit?
Speaker 1: I think that that's probably also Twilight. I'm like a
Speaker 1: grown woman. I probably shouldn't be thinking to my life. Well, listen,
Speaker 1: he he's very old and she's a child. Is that
Speaker 1: the due? I hope not. I hope not five hundred
Speaker 1: and five. But he's hanging out. Yeah he might. He
Speaker 1: might be really old put but he's fish. She becomes old.
Speaker 1: He's funny, he's fit as hell. Can you blame me?
Speaker 1: He looks young and yeah, yeah, I guess he's for
Speaker 1: I guess yeah, he's been around for forever. But but
Speaker 1: I like to think he froze at that age, So
Speaker 1: it's not he's not doing anything wrong. He's lived for
Speaker 1: a while at that age. Yeah, but he hasn't developed
Speaker 1: over the last he hasn't developed any materiality. He's no,
Speaker 1: he's just an absolutely nothing. I'm gonna have to do
Speaker 1: his laundry. It's going to be a chore, but whatever.
Speaker 1: He's Yeah, he's fit, he's fit. Yeah, Yeah, Okay, it's
Speaker 1: a twilight for both thats okay. Yeah, Well, it's objectively
Speaker 1: the greatest film of all time. Might not be your favorite,
Speaker 1: Oh this one was hard. I think Eternal Sunshine of
Speaker 1: the Spotless Mind goes down for me as the as
Speaker 1: the greatest film of all time. What an excellent answer. Thanks, excellent.
Speaker 1: It's just beautiful and funny and smart and relatable and yeah,
Speaker 1: and every time you want you pick up new things
Speaker 1: like I feel like you could watch as you Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the idea of being able to erase your memories
Speaker 1: and then is it I often think about is there
Speaker 1: anything that you would want to erase from your memories
Speaker 1: if you could? Would you? It's very difficult because you
Speaker 1: think all these things make you who you are. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think I would. I don't think I would
Speaker 1: I feel like there are some traumas that people experience
Speaker 1: that would probably be helpful to have them removed. Absolutely, Yeah,
Speaker 1: tell me this, talk to me. What is the film
Speaker 1: that you could or have watched the most over and
Speaker 1: over again? Can this would be the same as the
Speaker 1: movie that I take with me to the afterlife? Yeah?
Speaker 1: If you want to spoil the ending, sorry, sorry, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: we'll okay, okay, okay. I think I mean, if I'm
Speaker 1: being honest, the movie that I've watched the most times
Speaker 1: is Good Will Hunting. Oh, really, have you seen Good Hunting?
Speaker 1: I've got a standard about Good Will Hunting. I've seen
Speaker 1: it for sure. Yeah. We refer it a lot, Yes, yeah, yep, yep.
Speaker 1: Why is that such a rewatchable one for you? Well?
Speaker 1: I think that it's I'm probably homesick. I think it's
Speaker 1: probably something that just hearing those accents just makes me feel.
Speaker 1: So it's probably like since I've moved to la or
Speaker 1: since I've been out here, it's it's a real comfort
Speaker 1: just to even hear them speak. But I yeah, and
Speaker 1: Robin Williams is just so brilliant in it, and that's
Speaker 1: another great movie where it balances laughs. And feels in
Speaker 1: a beautiful way. Beautiful. Yeah, yeah, you get it all,
Speaker 1: you get it all. It's a really good film. Holds up,
Speaker 1: it holds up, I think, so yeah. I don't like
Speaker 1: to be negative. Let's do it quick. What's the worst
Speaker 1: film you've ever seen? Okay, I got I got a
Speaker 1: hot one worst film I've ever seen. I saw it
Speaker 1: probably when I was like too young, way too young.
Speaker 1: My dad was like, this is the greatest film of
Speaker 1: all time. It was Citizen Kane, and I remember looking
Speaker 1: at my brother going, this is the worst movie I've
Speaker 1: ever seen. And for years we would make fun of
Speaker 1: my dad and taunt him and go Rosebud because we
Speaker 1: thought it was just drash. Sally thought it was just
Speaker 1: so boring and didn't make any sense. He was trying
Speaker 1: to educate us, and we were just like, nah, this
Speaker 1: is terrible. About time someone took down Citizen It is
Speaker 1: a hot take. I watched Citizen Kane again recently. I
Speaker 1: can't why, but I watched it and I was like, hey,
Speaker 1: it is obviously brilliant and amazing and and not boring.
Speaker 1: But of course you can't watch as a kid because
Speaker 1: it's about like the media and about like sort of capitalism,
Speaker 1: and it's about it's about so many things that you're like, oh, oh,
Speaker 1: you understand that the fucking Sledge. You don't understand the
Speaker 1: rest of the film. That's what I was just gonna
Speaker 1: saying that related to is the Sled exactly? Yeah, you don't.
Speaker 1: You don't understand corporate magnates and ship and media lives.
Speaker 1: Still don't. I still don't corporate magnet. I'd still have
Speaker 1: to google that at the end of this. Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: in comedy, you're very funny. What's the film that made
Speaker 1: you listen? Im Paris laughter most Oh my gosh, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Dumb and Dumber. Great, it's fucking funny. It's so funny,
Speaker 1: and it's such a physical I feel, it's so much
Speaker 1: there's so much physical comedy in that movie, and so
Speaker 1: much desperation and confident incompetence and that kind of thing
Speaker 1: is just my favorite. Yeah. Yeah, good ship, that's good ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: did I make it past the pearly gates? Let's see. Listen,
Speaker 1: lim Paris, You've been absolutely wonderful. Really, word if, I've
Speaker 1: absolutely loved this. However, when you you'd had twelve coffees
Speaker 1: and it was ten Alien you'd been up early for
Speaker 1: a casting, which you got, and you were celebrating, you
Speaker 1: were buzzing. You had another ten coffees. You met up
Speaker 1: with your friend in a cafe and she said, she's
Speaker 1: get your coffee and you said, nah, pbably shouldn't have
Speaker 1: had twenty four coveries already, I'm kind of buzzing. And
Speaker 1: she said, but this cold brew and they've got oat milk. Anyway,
Speaker 1: that sounds delicious. Don't get you a single shot? And
Speaker 1: you go, fine, I don't know what that means. Sure,
Speaker 1: you take the coffee, you sit with her, you have
Speaker 1: one sip, you go yummy ga, and then you're immediately
Speaker 1: explodes and your friend thinking you're doing a big guys,
