Speaker 1: Right. So what you're about to hear is the recording
Speaker 1: of the live episode we did at the Hackney Empire
Speaker 1: to a full house. I want to thank all the
Speaker 1: audience that came. They were brilliant. And there is a
Speaker 1: Patreon section to this episode you can find at patreon
Speaker 1: dot com forward slash Brett Goldstein, where I think there's
Speaker 1: about twenty five minutes maybe thirty of extra chat with Phil.
Speaker 1: I want to thank Posts of Productions, Ben Williams and
Speaker 1: Nami Pinnell, and also the amazing crew at the Hackney Empire.
Speaker 1: It was such a good night. Hopefully we'll do another
Speaker 1: one soon and if we do, if you've missed this one,
Speaker 1: you must come to the next one, and if you
Speaker 1: come to that one, come to that one also. This
Speaker 1: is the full recording of the show, although there are
Speaker 1: some edits because you have to have a circular trust
Speaker 1: if you come to the show, and some things that
Speaker 1: were said there, you know, can't go out in the world.
Speaker 1: But I think most of us here and I really
Speaker 1: hope you like it, so let's do it. Look out
Speaker 1: it's like, Hello, my name is Brett Goldstein. I'm a comedian,
Speaker 1: an actor, a writer, a director, a big brave boy,
Speaker 1: and I love films. As Charles Darwin once said, a
Speaker 1: man who dares to waste one hour of time has
Speaker 1: not discovered the value of life. I've watched Greece too
Speaker 1: fucking shit tones because I know the deep value of
Speaker 1: living well and using my time on this planet in
Speaker 1: a way that makes me feel happy and spiritually fulfilled. Wow,
Speaker 1: fair play, Charles Darwin. See even a really smart scientist
Speaker 1: knows it's the best one. Every week I invite a
Speaker 1: special guests over. I tell them they've died. Then I
Speaker 1: get them to discuss their lives through the films that
Speaker 1: mend the most of them. Previous guests include Sharon Stone,
Speaker 1: Jamie a Jamille, Barry Jenkin, Mark Frost and even Ed Gamble.
Speaker 1: I've got seriously connections because of my agent. But this
Speaker 1: episode is different. This episode is being recorded at the
Speaker 1: Hackney Empire with this audience and today's very special guest.
Speaker 1: He's a stage actor, he's a screen actor. He's a craig.
Speaker 1: He's a model. He's a good boy. He's a funny boy.
Speaker 1: He's a kind boy. He's an award winner. He's a biker.
Speaker 1: He's a heart throb. He's my nemesis. He's my friend,
Speaker 1: he's my brother and most of all, he's my lover's
Speaker 1: he's everyone's second favorite footballer after Danny Rohanus. Please welcome
Speaker 1: to the show, the Magical, the brilliant, amazing. It's mister Field,
Speaker 1: does that? Yes, glad yell. That's a lot of people.
Speaker 1: You told him James Acaster was going to bed, but
Speaker 1: they see. Please listen, play your cards right. There's a
Speaker 1: fucking agent in Phil dans to thank you for doing this.
Speaker 1: How are you, my friend? I'm very well. I'm very
Speaker 1: excited to be here. I'm very honored to have been asked. Finally,
Speaker 1: two hundred and two episodes, you start to get desperate.
Speaker 1: The point is, though I don't remotely mean it, I
Speaker 1: love you. I saved special people for the live shows.
Speaker 1: I love you. Yeah. Now, it's a little fun fact
Speaker 1: you might not know about me and Phil. I think
Speaker 1: we are destined across the ages because before we did
Speaker 1: ted Lasso together many years ago, when the first plays,
Speaker 1: I wrote this play that was called Love Remains, and
Speaker 1: I took it to Edinburgh. I was in it and
Speaker 1: the first review we got was a one star review
Speaker 1: that said the plot and then said, who cares anyway,
Speaker 1: it's most Edinburgh shows. Yeah. Other than that, it was
Speaker 1: a great show. But then years later someone had seen
Speaker 1: it in Edinburgh and they asked me, could I put
Speaker 1: that play on? I really loved that play and so
Speaker 1: I went to see that play and the person who
Speaker 1: was playing me in the play was Phil Danster. That's me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I also did it. That director is here tonight. Fuck,
Speaker 1: Chriss is here somewhere. Hello, Hello you okay. And we
Speaker 1: met that night and I remember how obviously stunning your
Speaker 1: eyebrows were, but also how generous you were with your praise,
Speaker 1: and I was terrified to meet you. But well, when
Speaker 1: I watched you, I was like, because you were playing me,
Speaker 1: it was the part I played, and I was like, fuck,
Speaker 1: he's like a fitter, better hotter. I mean you were
Speaker 1: so fit that I was like, you were too fit
Speaker 1: to hate, Like my instinct was not too late if
Speaker 1: I's like, he's just too pretty. Any it's hard and
Speaker 1: you were very good. Thanks many, thank you. Now. Look
Speaker 1: feel when I do these podcasts privately, anything can be cut.
Speaker 1: If you say something you regret, we can cut it,
Speaker 1: or if I ask you something personal, we can cut it,
Speaker 1: but we do have witnesses, so we need a safe word.
Speaker 1: So if we get into any territory, you're like stop.
Speaker 1: The safe word is Keyley prefers roy Um. You can
Speaker 1: say that. You can say that at any point in
Speaker 1: the I will not mind. That feels one way traffic. No, no, anyway.
Speaker 1: You're a very good actor, come on, let's admit it.
Speaker 1: But you ain't done a lot of comedy but for
Speaker 1: Ted's true or false true? Yeah, yeah, and that surprises
Speaker 1: me because you're the funniest people I know, and I
Speaker 1: can't get through scenes with you, and yet apparently you
Speaker 1: can also the drama and I just can't imagine it.
Speaker 1: Very serious. Yeah, you're so serious. You did strike back
Speaker 1: for years. Yeah, Tits and guns, Tits and guns. He
Speaker 1: was the tits. Yeah. Did you do like mode pointing
Speaker 1: guns acting? I mor did movie tapping on laptop. It
Speaker 1: is amazing how until you play that part you really
Speaker 1: believe that they're like looking at something. I keep looking up.
Speaker 1: I don't know how I can't actually see if I
Speaker 1: might just be looking at the ceiling like an idiot.
Speaker 1: Keep your eyes on them, because if you look away,
Speaker 1: you forget they're there. But you really are just tapping
Speaker 1: a computer and looking at a blank screen, really and
Speaker 1: it feels maddening. It feels totally and you're like looking
Speaker 1: at it like does this look real? I don't know
Speaker 1: your brain. You're like, okay, so three six is moving
Speaker 1: on to coordinate three six two nights and you're like,
Speaker 1: fucking hell is that there? Here? Am I doing? Okay?
Speaker 1: Now do you do? You move? Eyes? Yeah? From like
Speaker 1: top bottom bottom, top top, move left, okay, good good.
Speaker 1: It's like the internal monologue is just rife. I can't
Speaker 1: believe you were the computer guy in the tough It
Speaker 1: was literally the computer guy. Yeah. And then I had
Speaker 1: some time run around with the gun, which felt like
Speaker 1: it would you know? My dad was proud of me.
Speaker 1: Then yeah, yeah, he's a very violent man. We'll get
Speaker 1: to that. Um oh Phil, well, fuck, I just turned.
Speaker 1: I forgot to tell you something now. I think I think,
Speaker 1: I think, I think I know. I don't know. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: I should have put this piece of paper at the top.
Speaker 1: I think I know what you're gonna I don't know,
Speaker 1: but we're all having a nice time. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: just I guess i'd just say it. I think I
Speaker 1: think I know what you're gonna say, but what you say, No,
Speaker 1: we can say the same. We'll go one, two, three,
Speaker 1: you're dead, finally tell us what brett is short for that?
Speaker 1: Oh that makes more sense. Yours makes more sense? Okay,
Speaker 1: oh right, sh okay, I'd have told you if you
Speaker 1: were alive. Sorry, oh man dead. It's Brythaniel? What is?
Speaker 1: What is? What? How did you? How did you die?
Speaker 1: How did you? How did you die? God will miss you?
Speaker 1: How did you die? It's mad? I was skydiving, yeah,
Speaker 1: I hadn't been before, pretty nervous, and got ready to
Speaker 1: jump out of the plane. And as I jumped out,
Speaker 1: released my parachute. Bows We're all thinking it released my
Speaker 1: parachute and gravity just didn't work, and I went out.
Speaker 1: I think the wind took me and I just went
Speaker 1: up and left the Earth's atmosphere and just space, just space.
Speaker 1: I went to space and my my everything popped and
Speaker 1: it's hideous. God, the old gravity didn't work. It's very
Speaker 1: tragic when when basic gravity stocks has happened so often.
Speaker 1: Just tragy, I mean, not a bad way. So basically
Speaker 1: you went into the atmosphere and then exploded. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: it was like a vacuum of space. That's it, that's it,
Speaker 1: just like some people I know. I just went up
Speaker 1: and it was like one of those comedy bits where
Speaker 1: my eyes bulged, and because I think that's it about
Speaker 1: it's an audio medium and I liked m and my
Speaker 1: intestines came up my ears. Oh wow, yeah, you could
Speaker 1: make like a skipping rope. Yeah yeah, your head um right.
Speaker 1: But it was mostly popping, mostly popping, and bowels coming
Speaker 1: out of my belly butt. Yeah. Yeah. It was like
Speaker 1: a like a magician's handkerchief just coming up. I had
Speaker 1: time to do. I didn't. I wasn't scared. I was
Speaker 1: just this mad. It just kept coming. Yeah. Fuck, I
Speaker 1: wish i'd seen that. I mean, do you worry about death?
Speaker 1: That seems like a pretty good way to go with
Speaker 1: the gravity stuff. I used to worry about it quite
Speaker 1: a lot. When I first sort of really thought about
Speaker 1: the concept of death and how it is just the
Speaker 1: final catastrophe that we will all come to. I think
Speaker 1: I just didn't really I couldn't really understan like how
Speaker 1: the universe expands but expanded into nothing. It doesn't really
Speaker 1: make sense because it's not really part of the human experience.
Speaker 1: And I think I think I was really worried about it,
Speaker 1: and it spent I spent a lot of time sort
Speaker 1: of thinking how unjust it was and how fucking what's
Speaker 1: the point in anything. Just became a bit of a nihilist.
Speaker 1: And then I don't think it's necessarily because of this film,
Speaker 1: but in Children of Men, which again I don't think
Speaker 1: it's because of this, but I think it encapsulates like
Speaker 1: what my thought process was around it. There's a there's
Speaker 1: a scene in Children of Men in which everyone's infertile.
Speaker 1: Don't worry, that's not a spoiler, and the human population
Speaker 1: as soon to like die out. Don't worry, that's not
Speaker 1: And Clive Owen goes to see Danny Houston, who inexplicably
Speaker 1: lives in the Tape Modern and he surrounded himself with
Speaker 1: these like beautiful artifacts from around the world, and and
Speaker 1: the end of their conversation, Danny Houston sort of like
Speaker 1: looks out over that there's a really good like motif
Speaker 1: of the Pink Floyd album with the pig floating of
Speaker 1: the thing and just surrounded by beauty basically, and Clive
Speaker 1: bones it turns around to me, he was like, how
Speaker 1: do you do it in a hundred years, none of
Speaker 1: these sad fuckers are going to be around to see
Speaker 1: any of this. What's the point? And Danny Houston just
Speaker 1: sort of turns around and was like, do you know
Speaker 1: what I do? Just don't think about it, and then
Speaker 1: sort of gestures to all this beauty around him, and
Speaker 1: I think I was like, oh, yeah, I think it's
Speaker 1: just the beauty of the beauty of life, which I
Speaker 1: think he just indulges in and appreciates, which is the
Speaker 1: sort of antidote to the fear of death, I think,
Speaker 1: and I think that the best you can hope for
Speaker 1: is just to like be distracted and not think about it.
Speaker 1: So bringing you on a podcast about death to talk
Speaker 1: about death probably is the opposite of what you were
Speaker 1: going for. Having learned that lesson, I thought I was
Speaker 1: here to hear about your full name. That's really why
Speaker 1: I came. You probably be longer, longer. Yeah, you'll get
Speaker 1: to it. Yeah that's beautiful, listen. I think about definitely,
Speaker 1: but you're right, we probably should just enjoy. Yeah this stuff,
Speaker 1: this is nice, And yeah, what do you think happens
Speaker 1: when you die? I just think what happens before you
Speaker 1: were born. Just go back to nothingness, Phil, it's Saturday
Speaker 1: Night's your fucking podcast. Give him something, Give him something.
Speaker 1: I think that there's there's a highlight real at the end,
Speaker 1: and it's there's Bruce Forsyth is inexplicably alive again, and
Speaker 1: he's there taking you back being like remember that time
Speaker 1: that's not his Hey, I'm Bruce, remember that time, Remember
Speaker 1: that remember that time you lost your virginity And he's
Speaker 1: in the room with you, and like, so he's wand
Speaker 1: it so Bruce Forsyth is there watching you lose your
Speaker 1: virginity and in speaking in a voice that is not
Speaker 1: his own. This is scarier than nothingness. But I don't
Speaker 1: hate it. Is it is the highlights that they all
Speaker 1: just the sex yead it's briefed for side, like I've
Speaker 1: edited your life and you're after a while, you're like,
Speaker 1: you've only included the sex. Bruce. It's an awful lot
Speaker 1: of it. Didn't anything else? Oh yeah, no I did.
Speaker 1: This is the best bits, yeah yeah, and the worst ones.
Speaker 1: He really because he just because again you know, life
Speaker 1: is a beautiful mixer, Yeah, the best and worst things
Speaker 1: and also just mondality, and he just the really boring times,
Speaker 1: the boring sex yeah, yeah, yeah, it's predominantly that. If
Speaker 1: I'm pushed for an answer as to what happens when
Speaker 1: you die, it's probably just replaying those It's the sex
Speaker 1: real okay, the good, the bad and the boring, the
Speaker 1: sort of sex we are just like, let's just finish this. Um,
Speaker 1: just the soundtrack of just ham slapping. Now we're talking.
Speaker 1: This is now we've got a show. Um, well I've
Speaker 1: got good news. But in a way, it's sort of
Speaker 1: maybe a disappointment. There is a heaven. It's not Bruce
Speaker 1: at the door, um, but it is Divina McCool and
Speaker 1: but she also does not sound remotely like herself. She's
Speaker 1: like hi, yeah, and she's like hi, yeah, welcome, and
Speaker 1: she shows you your highlight reel ob sex and and
Speaker 1: what's weird is she does a running commentary over the
Speaker 1: whole thing and she sort of goes like that was
Speaker 1: good and all that, and you's that for eight I mean,
Speaker 1: you have quite a lot of sex fair plate here.
Speaker 1: It goes on a way. And uh, but also this
Speaker 1: I was pretty much right. I mean, I'm I'm amazing
Speaker 1: that is I was so close. It's just not Bruce,
Speaker 1: You're very close. What what's your favorite thing, favorite thing
Speaker 1: in the world. Yes, there's a I mean, there is
Speaker 1: a reason I'm asking. I just want to know, um,
Speaker 1: what's your favorite thing? Coffee in the morning right this Heaven.
Speaker 1: Once you get through the sex reel, which is very
Speaker 1: long and quite distressing actually to be forced to watch
Speaker 1: all of it, once you get past that, it's coffee
Speaker 1: in the morning time, all the time. Every coffee is
Speaker 1: coffee in the morning, Bruster Petchel, It's what is Bruster.
Speaker 1: Bruce is making the coffee. That's he got moved out
Speaker 1: of the sex for him because he was He kept
Speaker 1: down like that every time, and it was like people
Speaker 1: were like, it's inappropriate, Bruce, we're trying to beat. You
Speaker 1: can do the coffee. So he does the coffee in
Speaker 1: the morning, and he's like, Hi, does his voice that
Speaker 1: you like? He does? Hi, here's your coffee in the morning.
Speaker 1: And then anyway, everyone's there, all your favorite people to
Speaker 1: beat the Bruce, and they're very happy to see you.
Speaker 1: Everyone's excited to see you in Heaven. It's really nice there.
Speaker 1: And you're by the way, In case you were worried,
Speaker 1: your intestines have been popped back in good and that
Speaker 1: string of Pooh popped back in, But I never said
Speaker 1: anything about the string of pooh your belly button that
Speaker 1: I was intestines. Oh, I thought that was poo. It
Speaker 1: looks similar anyway, They're excited to see you. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: because now I feel back because I just stuff to
Speaker 1: load a poom in your belly bind when you got
Speaker 1: to Heaven and it wasn't even yours. Whose is it
Speaker 1: might have been Bruce's making all that coffee is constantly
Speaker 1: He's constantly dropping it right, by the way, It's never
Speaker 1: normally like this, right. Anyway, They're very excited to see you,
Speaker 1: and they want to know about your life through film,
Speaker 1: can you imagine? And the first thing they want to
Speaker 1: know is what's the first film you remember seeing? Phil
Speaker 1: Danster and I'd tell him, I'd say, I'd look him
Speaker 1: deep in the eyes and I'd say, the first film
Speaker 1: I remember seeing is James and the Giant Peach. What
Speaker 1: a banger, great film, cool car, absolute cool caer. David
Speaker 1: Tuliss's best round as the Earthworm. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Mary Margalis as well. Yeah, it's got a hell of
Speaker 1: a cast of a car humdinger of a cast. You're
Speaker 1: talking Simon callo, you're talking, Pete Postlethwait. No one knows
Speaker 1: how to really say it. You're talking, You're talking. Susan Sarandan,
Speaker 1: Susanne's Sands lovely film. Henry Sellick, the man who directed
Speaker 1: Nightmare Before Christmas with Tim Burton, one of my favorite films,
Speaker 1: and he also made Coraline. He's fucking brilliant. Where did
Speaker 1: you see it? Do you remember? I think it was
Speaker 1: at home. I think it was on a VHS remember them?
Speaker 1: And I think I just remember watching it over and
Speaker 1: over again. But the thing I remember the most about
Speaker 1: it is the little tiger crocodile tongues, the little green thing,
Speaker 1: because you know, he's got the little like hot air
Speaker 1: balloon in his little piece of paper and there's loads
Speaker 1: of like glow in the dark crocodile tongues that. As
Speaker 1: soon as Pete Puzzles gives it to him, he's like,
Speaker 1: don't drop these these are really magic. Don't drop what?
Speaker 1: Don't drop him? And he's like, cool, all right, because
Speaker 1: as soon as you they're gonna think don't all right?
Speaker 1: All right? See that? Okay? But useless? Did you watch it?
Speaker 1: You have a you have a brother, don't you do
Speaker 1: stud Did you watch with studs? I did? Yeah, he's older?
Speaker 1: Is he? He is older? Was he a nice boy
Speaker 1: to you? He was a nice boy? Uh? Probably old?
Speaker 1: M well, doctor, it was sircer years, say, two to five.
Speaker 1: He probably spent a lot of time I guess throttling me, right, okay,
Speaker 1: sitting on my chest and like throttling me? How well?
Speaker 1: Was he twenty five? He was in his mid to
Speaker 1: late twenties. I was bored. He was jealous? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: what what how two and a half years? Okay, worry not,
Speaker 1: worry not. And then we're after that, post strangling, great friends,
Speaker 1: post court case. He's a lovely boy. What's the film
Speaker 1: that scared you the most? Do you like being scared?
Speaker 1: Hate it? It's as bad as being dizzy. What's the
Speaker 1: fucking point of being stupid? Stop it? So? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: love it. What's the film that scared me the most? Yeah?
Speaker 1: The Witches. They're so rather good movie. Yeah, terrifying particularly.
Speaker 1: That's thing again, I don't remember all of it because
Speaker 1: luckily my brain has blanked that out. Bruce, wass open
Speaker 1: that we're playing that at the end. Let me tell you,
Speaker 1: I remember that scene when they all take off their
Speaker 1: heads and the faces and they're all fucking long. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and they've got really weird bad traveling bonus. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember that, mate, go on, that's all my to
Speaker 1: be this show. We'll go it. It's so horrible. And
Speaker 1: they've got like big fucking wide angle lenses, so they're
Speaker 1: all like their heads are looking massive and weird, and
Speaker 1: they'll and then the little boys like, oh my fucking god,
Speaker 1: they turn them into a mouse. It's I think that
Speaker 1: the feeling of beings. I don't understand the scary move
Speaker 1: like why do that to yourself? It's a bit like
Speaker 1: I think that. I think it's a bit like having
Speaker 1: spicy food when I'm watching a scary film. If it's
Speaker 1: too spicy and I can't taste the film underneath, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I can't. Just ruined my night right, My eyes are streaming,
Speaker 1: I can't taste anything, and I hate the person who's
Speaker 1: made it. I'm like, this is stop doing this. I'm
Speaker 1: starting to get where they put you as the computer
Speaker 1: game in scram In there the Witches for those of
Speaker 1: you you all know, it's directed by Nicholas Rogue, who
Speaker 1: is the greatest, all time greatest, and he made Don't
Speaker 1: Look Now, which I think is the greatest, possibly greatest
Speaker 1: film I made. And he made The Man Who Fell
Speaker 1: to Worth, and he made walk About and he made Performance.
Speaker 1: But I discovered today a film I've never seen of his,
Speaker 1: which is an eighteen minute short film that is called
Speaker 1: the Sound of Claudia Schiffer. And it's basically a montage
Speaker 1: of very beautiful fart noises, beautiful fart noises. It's just
Speaker 1: like she's sort of just on a trampoline slow motion.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a lovely film. I fully understand where
Speaker 1: it was called the Sound of Her. But you've got
Speaker 1: you've got a vibe? Can can you give an example?
Speaker 1: Fun sort of like a beautiful you know, you know
Speaker 1: that they'd be lovely. It was sort of sort of
Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, And if it came
Speaker 1: near you'd be like, what what fresh? Row? This is this? Anyway?
Speaker 1: Very good director, hell of a body of work, hell
Speaker 1: of a body won't imagine? Don't out the witches in
Speaker 1: the Santa Claudia Shipper? What a CV? What about crying film?
Speaker 1: Do you cry a lot? I do? I find that
Speaker 1: I hold it back and I don't like that I
Speaker 1: do that. I find myself. I don't cry, which I wish.
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of. But the film that made
Speaker 1: me like, just fully uncontrollably cry was The Pursuit of
Speaker 1: Happiness is yea with a why with a why? Have
Speaker 1: you all seen this film? Well, if you haven't seen,
Speaker 1: I went over it again today in preparation of this.
Speaker 1: It's King Richard the first it's the it's the same
Speaker 1: film as King Richard, but he's trying to be a
Speaker 1: stockbroker instead of make tennis players. It genuinely is exactly
Speaker 1: the same film. Like it's a good film. I understand
Speaker 1: why I wanted to remake it, but it's just lots
Speaker 1: of him going, hey, let me and let me in
Speaker 1: this in this case office. But what I think it's
Speaker 1: quite listen, there's lots to love about it, but it's
Speaker 1: also quite disturbing because it's about at his dream is
Speaker 1: to be a stockbroker. And there's a scene quite early
Speaker 1: on when he walks past like the stock exchange and
Speaker 1: he sees people coming at the office and there's like
Speaker 1: slow motion and they're smiling, and in the voiceover he
Speaker 1: goes these stockbrokers, they all look so happy, and I'm
Speaker 1: like Yeah, they're on cocaine. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: This is not the end of the rainbow to be
Speaker 1: a fucking stockbroker? What the hell message is this film? Sad?
Speaker 1: Isn't it? No disrespect to any stockbrokes, but it's sad,
Speaker 1: and it's really sad. Almost makes you cry. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: were crying about capitalism. I could get it. And you
Speaker 1: know I was young when it came out. No, I
Speaker 1: think it. Yes, it's it's a film about you know,
Speaker 1: the American dream and you know how bleak that is.
Speaker 1: But it's also about you know, it's about a relationship
Speaker 1: between a dad and a son and what he'd go
Speaker 1: through for that. But also it's really about Will Smith
Speaker 1: doing lots of scenes where he's trying not to cry
Speaker 1: and that makes me cry. Yeah it does. It does
Speaker 1: really good trying not to cry. But then again, it's
Speaker 1: the whole film is the premise of it is around
Speaker 1: a typo in the American Constitution. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: let's not talk about America's obsession with a piece of
Speaker 1: paper that was written about three hundred fifty years ago. Yes,
Speaker 1: thank yes, But it did lead to a great film,
Speaker 1: a sad film, but a great so it's ups and
Speaker 1: downs over there. Yeah, but but this, to be fair,
Speaker 1: this is Will Smith. It is absolute pete, very good.
Speaker 1: It's it's post I robot Pope, which I loved. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's a good film or not. I
Speaker 1: robot hitch sucker, I am legend, pre Gemini man preter.
Speaker 1: Keep my wife's name out your fucking mouth, which I
Speaker 1: loved him in by that. Yeah, I think it's great,
Speaker 1: very passionate performance. He really you really felt like he
Speaker 1: may Yeah, you really thought I must remove his wife's
Speaker 1: name from my mouth. Actually it's been stuck in there
Speaker 1: and which you're always doing. Really, I really got to
Speaker 1: take that out. There's also a scene in it, I mean,
Speaker 1: and maybe it's true. The whole film is based in
Speaker 1: a true story, but he keeps sort of handing this guy,
Speaker 1: big stockbroker guy, can have a meeting, can have this?
Speaker 1: And the stockbroker is trying to get in the taxi
Speaker 1: and Will Smith says, oh, I'm going that way, Can
Speaker 1: I come to? And the guy says yes, which would
Speaker 1: never happen, And then they're getting a taxi and the
Speaker 1: guy's ignoring him because he's got a Rubis cube. And
Speaker 1: then Will Smith goes and the guy goes like, oh wow,
Speaker 1: this new thing, and Will Smith goes, I think I
Speaker 1: could do that, And then Will Smith does the Rubis
Speaker 1: cube and that's how he wins his respect. What well
Speaker 1: do we live in it? What film I've ever seen?
Speaker 1: In hindsight, That's how he becomes a stockbroker because he's
Speaker 1: got an a taxi with a geezer and Dana Rubis
Speaker 1: because he's got a ten gallon head. He's a smart
Speaker 1: man and everyone goes go, wh will Will Smith, you're
Speaker 1: so smart, You're so smart, and let me give you
Speaker 1: my job. I think that's we put you in charge
Speaker 1: of cubes. To be fair, that is the last time
Speaker 1: any because they make quite a big deal out of
Speaker 1: it at the it's the inciting incident. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: that's it. Play Ruby's Cube, yeah, and then he just
Speaker 1: has They never bring it up again. Yeah. When I
Speaker 1: hired him, I'd be like, where's the fucking Ruby's Cube.
Speaker 1: But it does have that scene about the time machine
Speaker 1: because there's that mad bloke keeps him there's a time machine,
Speaker 1: and it's that bit makes you cry? Done it when
Speaker 1: he's like he's just depressed and he's like at the
Speaker 1: end of his it's tever right. He says that in
Speaker 1: the film get your bloody get bloody wife's name out
Speaker 1: of your mouth. I've had it up to here. And
Speaker 1: he's like desperate, and his son is just like dad,
Speaker 1: and he's like, I know, and then he just he
Speaker 1: just drops it all and he's like it is a
Speaker 1: time machine. He's like, no, it's not. It is if
Speaker 1: you just press this button. And then they press it,
Speaker 1: and then will Smith just drops all the sadness and
Speaker 1: he's like this dinosaurs everywhere, and it's so joyful and
Speaker 1: it's like this imagination that's just share between the two
Speaker 1: of them. It's a really beautiful moment. And then he
Speaker 1: uses it to get him into the toilet. It's not weird,
Speaker 1: it's not bad. It's his son, it's his son. It's
Speaker 1: a son. Like I said, it's the maddest film ever. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: that is. It is. There's lots to love in it.
Speaker 1: It's a nice choice to feel, what is the film
Speaker 1: that's meant to be bad? But you love unashamedly valiant.
Speaker 1: Now this this almost never happens, but Phil Phil sent
Speaker 1: me his list, and I've normally seen everything and I
Speaker 1: had not seen this, so I watched it, and I'm
Speaker 1: a lover. You know that it is bad. It's really bad.
Speaker 1: It's truly. The animation is like those sort of kids
Speaker 1: YouTube algorithms that make themselves where it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's very bad. I didn't understand what was going on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's mad. It's bad. Anyway, tell us why you love it.
Speaker 1: I think it's just I watched it at the time
Speaker 1: in my life that I loved war films when I
Speaker 1: was a kid. Okay, okay, okay, I was a kid
Speaker 1: when I was younger. Apocalypse Now, Balian Platoon, the list,
Speaker 1: the list guys are and I think that you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's a sort of weird Disney version of like
Speaker 1: Blitz Blighty, and I was sort of I really liked
Speaker 1: that sort of history and quite a perverse way. I
Speaker 1: realized now that I was obsessed with the Second World
Speaker 1: War and I was like, but they were all moving
Speaker 1: in the same direction, and I think that's what we
Speaker 1: need now in this country. When I was twelve, I
Speaker 1: don't know, man, Like, it's probably just rubbish and it's
Speaker 1: got terrible rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which we all know
Speaker 1: is the it's the doesn't always mean they're right, but
Speaker 1: in this case they're absolutely right. Yeah, And it's got
Speaker 1: a it's got an amazing cast. It's got a mad cast.
Speaker 1: You know, you're Hugh Lauries, you're you Mcgregoryrasy, You're Ricky Jervases,
Speaker 1: you know Sharon Horgan. Yeah, plays a French person mouse,
Speaker 1: a French mouse. It's all it's about. For those of
Speaker 1: you who hadn't seen it, I can't imagine you haven't.
Speaker 1: But if you haven't, um, it's about It's about carrier
Speaker 1: pigeons in the Second World War and how brave they were,
Speaker 1: actually guys, and they saved lives. For those of you
Speaker 1: haven't seen it, you're fine. What I love that. On
Speaker 1: the other hand, what's the film you used to love
Speaker 1: but you've watched it recently and you thought this is
Speaker 1: not for me anymore? Starship Troopers? Oh dear, Oh, you're
Speaker 1: fine with Valiant. But yeah, wow, I didn't know that
Speaker 1: would be so controversial. What do you think of it?
Speaker 1: I think it's fine. I think it's I think it's
Speaker 1: it's it's one of his Um, it's about Nazis, right there,
Speaker 1: the Nazis. It's all then it's all about fascism, but
Speaker 1: it's shot like it's subversive. You're watching the heroes are
Speaker 1: actually Nazis. Basically, that's what it is, right, Love it,
Speaker 1: take it back, love it. It's good. Yeah. Well I
Speaker 1: just I watched it again and it's like, I mean,
Speaker 1: look for somebody who loves Valiant. This is pretty moot point.
Speaker 1: But the animation is like mentally bad. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you're the expert on this, and it's like it
Speaker 1: just toes them, because I think it's trying to pass
Speaker 1: these of those like war film tropes, certainly like Marker
Speaker 1: tropes they have, and I think it just toes the
Speaker 1: line on the wrong side where it's a bit too
Speaker 1: egregiously aggressive. Sorry American people in the audience, And yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's just a bit too I just watched
Speaker 1: it now and I'm like, wow, that is really overegging
Speaker 1: the pudding. He's not subtle. It's not a subtle film. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I think you're you're reading of it is correct.
Speaker 1: You're so fit. Stop you are what's the what's the
Speaker 1: what's the what's the film that means the most to you?
Speaker 1: Not necessarily the film itself is good, but the experience
Speaker 1: you had around seeing it will always make it special
Speaker 1: to you. Fiel downstair, I'll tell you please do Braathaniel Goldstein,
Speaker 1: Swallace and Grummit A close show, Yes, yes you've wan
Speaker 1: and back? Yes, who wonderful film, a masterpiece. What's the
Speaker 1: experience you have with it? What I mean? And you
Speaker 1: can particularly this one, But any Wallace and Grommet film
Speaker 1: for me is just such a evocative, beautiful film from
Speaker 1: like I guess, I guess there's the element of like
Speaker 1: the subconscious element of like the craftsmanship or womanship or
Speaker 1: other ship that has gone into it that feels so
Speaker 1: I don't know, it just makes it feel very special.
Speaker 1: But for me, it's because Wallace has the exact same
Speaker 1: laugh as my granddad, and it's like it's as if
Speaker 1: they've both read how to Laugh on page and they've
Speaker 1: gone and he's got this beauty. He goes his t
Speaker 1: and his shoulders go up and down. And I just
Speaker 1: remember sitting there at my grandparents house watching it cross legged,
Speaker 1: and like the dog Sheba, beautiful Sheba, lying next to me,
Speaker 1: and like the smell of a roast chicken dinner coming
Speaker 1: from the kitchen, and just my granddad laughing with me
Speaker 1: whilst we and it's silly and fun. Then like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it just has again it's like, I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: really it's also just they're a really great British film.
Speaker 1: They play on like silly British village tropes and I
Speaker 1: think it's just really beautiful and yeah, I just think
Speaker 1: like the very like texture of it all is fucking lovely.
Speaker 1: That's what I said to my granddad. I was like,
Speaker 1: it's fucking I'll give him a clap for that one.
Speaker 1: That made us solum And he's a sweet, lovely boy
Speaker 1: and as we know from all these choices, he likes
Speaker 1: British films for British people. I back Britain, Philip. What's
Speaker 1: the sexiest? Is it? I don't believe so isn't the
Speaker 1: sexiest film you've ever seen? Well? The Venus at the
Speaker 1: back of her notebook, I don't think you'd let me
Speaker 1: have Christina Aguilera Dirty the music video if you you
Speaker 1: could have that, if I can have any J Low song,
Speaker 1: have it? Oh man, I mean this is now just
Speaker 1: two men on stage. Okay, you've seen that other one.
Speaker 1: She's my favorite. Now it isn't appropriate. It feels no,
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody. Yeah, it's ask the question was
Speaker 1: sexiest it is? I asked the question. You put me
Speaker 1: here mess um No, the sexiest film I've ever seen
Speaker 1: is A Night's Tale. Oh I love it. For why,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you for why. Everyone's so sweaty in it
Speaker 1: all the time. It's a film a fucking Ellen's dirty.
Speaker 1: And he's like, Eli is really passionate. I think what
Speaker 1: And like Laura Jasper is beyond belief. She's so beauty,
Speaker 1: unobtainably beautiful. Do you feel common? Um AT's believe in yourself.
Speaker 1: If we've learned one thing, it's to believe that you
Speaker 1: could pull anyone, but not solely to you know, hideously
Speaker 1: objectify people. But the chemistry that the two of them
Speaker 1: have on screen is just oh god, It's like you
Speaker 1: can see it. They're like, oh ma, I mean they'd
Speaker 1: pass their GCS chemistry, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: It's it's fire. And there's a scene when when um
Speaker 1: Heath Ledger has got hurt Joustin and he's in bed.
Speaker 1: H there's there's a lot, there's a lot Charleston in
Speaker 1: the film, and he's in he's in bed and he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: and Laura Jasper comes in and she's like and he's
Speaker 1: like a fool and she's like oh, and he's like yeah,
Speaker 1: actually one best screenplay film you did, that little fun fact. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know, there's just I just I remember just
Speaker 1: thinking that two of them together, we're just so fucking sexy.
Speaker 1: But you're not wrong. Now, given that we made that
Speaker 1: section quite uncomfortable as it was, let's head head first
Speaker 1: into Worrying Widen traveling bone is worrying Why Don's what's
Speaker 1: the film? Yeah? But are you getting into this podcast now, madam?
Speaker 1: Traveling bonus worry. I don't have to make any contact
Speaker 1: with you for that traveling Traveling Bonus Worrying Wide One's
Speaker 1: a film you found a rousing that you weren't sure
Speaker 1: you should. It's oddly another Roldal film. Um My, Worrying

Speaker 1: Thank you for coming everyone. Let me ex there are
Speaker 1: people leave. This thing has worked. Let me explain. No listen,
Speaker 1: Danny DeVito is fit. I get it. Go on, What's what? What? Why? So?
Speaker 1: I had a teacher who when I was in Who's
Speaker 1: here tonight? Um, I had a teacher who when I
Speaker 1: was in like year three, red, year three seven or eight. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I know it must have been a bit later than that.
Speaker 1: That's mad. It depends what she did, seriously troubling bone.
Speaker 1: I hope everyone is okay and she she is blameless,
Speaker 1: she's clean. I was in and amongst a sexual awakening
Speaker 1: that happens you're not aware of. But also I remember
Speaker 1: is that I really like loved her. And you know,
Speaker 1: you know, you've all had it, you've all had a
Speaker 1: crush on your teacher. Don't lie, come on here. And
Speaker 1: I just remember that I really really wanted her to
Speaker 1: like love me. And and I remember like, is this
Speaker 1: is this how you normally do it? Is you've managed
Speaker 1: to turn a picture of Matilda into making everyone cry.
Speaker 1: It's very impressive skill, right, it gets weird. I don't worry, okay, Um.
Speaker 1: I would lie. I remember lying in bed. It's fine,
Speaker 1: it's fine. I would lie in bed, and I would
Speaker 1: before I went to sleep. I would like imagine that
Speaker 1: she would ask me out. She would say to the class,
Speaker 1: I'm having a picnic and there's only one student who's
Speaker 1: going to come with me. And everyone was like, oh,
Speaker 1: my god, whoever was going and she just go Philip,
Speaker 1: is he what would happen on the picnic? Are you eating? Well,
Speaker 1: we didn't have time to eat wheat seven years old. No,
Speaker 1: But because because I was however old, I worked like young.
Speaker 1: I didn't. It was nothing like that. I was just kissing.
Speaker 1: And I remember practicing kissing in the dark in my bed.
Speaker 1: Were you kissing? Yeah? Right. It was just met like
Speaker 1: like yeah, so it's there's shame around it, but you
Speaker 1: know I shared that with the circle of trust anyway.
Speaker 1: So Miss Honey was like was embodiment of can we
Speaker 1: see you doing the practice kissing without the mic in Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's hot. Okay, there you go, silly, silly boys, silly
Speaker 1: go and say what miss miss Honey? And I think
Speaker 1: Miss Honey just really really reminded me of her and
Speaker 1: and it was you know, and it was like yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how much we want to
Speaker 1: go into the psyche of a ten year old boy
Speaker 1: with in this category, but you know, yeah, that's that's
Speaker 1: it for me. Where I was like, I don't know
Speaker 1: what this experience is, but miss Honey's doing it for me. Well,
Speaker 1: she's fucking lovely as well she miss. The thing is,
Speaker 1: you do want to go for a picnic with miss honey,
Speaker 1: and you do want to kiss her. We don't want
Speaker 1: to anything else because you respect. I just want to
Speaker 1: stroke her face a little bit and say thank you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you're so good at maths. Yeah, she's a lovely lady.
Speaker 1: Good luck to her. Um. What's the film you most
Speaker 1: related to? Philip Denster film I'm most related to Ruthanniel
Speaker 1: Goldstein is before Sunrise Good film Lovely? You're seen that
Speaker 1: lovely film? What you what about it? What go on?
Speaker 1: What You've been on a train that? I watched it
Speaker 1: when I was in my early mid twenties. And for
Speaker 1: those of you who haven't seen it, two people meet
Speaker 1: on a train and basically just have like not twenty
Speaker 1: four hours, but like one night, one night of just
Speaker 1: walking the streets of from Good and the Vienna. Ye,
Speaker 1: thank you, that's why they're here. Yeah, loved the film
Speaker 1: so much. They walk the streets of the Vienna. It's
Speaker 1: all the same to me. He just likes Britain could
Speaker 1: be Enda, could be proud? Who cares? And I think
Speaker 1: that it was it was at a time when you know,
Speaker 1: when you when you first start having those You meet
Speaker 1: someone and all of a sudden you just have that
Speaker 1: instant connection, and then all of a sudden you become
Speaker 1: these like amateur philosophers, and you just you have the
Speaker 1: same connection with someone that you meet over one space
Speaker 1: of one night that you do with someone you've known
Speaker 1: for your whole life. And I think that they what
Speaker 1: they do in that and I think what Richard Linklater
Speaker 1: does really well in all these films is sort of
Speaker 1: track that period of time or a certain period of
Speaker 1: time in a way that feels like you can relate
Speaker 1: to that yourself. And the way they do it in
Speaker 1: the film, I think is they just have these sprawling
Speaker 1: conversations that the content of which doesn't really you know,
Speaker 1: it's that old maximum people say. It's not you don't
Speaker 1: remember what someone said to you, it's how they made
Speaker 1: you feel. And I think that this film really those
Speaker 1: people in your life who you know, there are people
Speaker 1: in my life that I've had those with that I
Speaker 1: don't remember now, but it's been a formula formulating experience
Speaker 1: for me pretty much. And also, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: I've gone back and watched the film since, and Ethan
Speaker 1: Hawk's quite creepy. In it, so I relate to that
Speaker 1: probably when I mean to chat someone up and there's
Speaker 1: a there's a really amazing scene in it where they're
Speaker 1: in a record store and they're listening to music, and
Speaker 1: clearly Richard Lincolade has been like, don't and like it's
Speaker 1: really like they're really in close proximity. All of a
Speaker 1: sudden they've been like walking along and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden they're really close and and Richard Linklade has
Speaker 1: clearly gone, just don't make eye contact, but you want
Speaker 1: to look at each other. And the whole time there's
Speaker 1: like doing this and like shy, and then they're like,
Speaker 1: oh you're so fit, I'm sho gon't and and it's
Speaker 1: fucking creepy, it is, but it's also, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that you know, it's it's fumbling and not um like
Speaker 1: sexy in a really beautiful way. And I think that
Speaker 1: they capture that really one. I think that we've all
Speaker 1: had those like meetings with people that just sprawl on
Speaker 1: and yeah, I really love that in this field. The
Speaker 1: whole trilogy is incredible. The second one is one of
Speaker 1: my favorite endings of all time, and then the third
Speaker 1: one is fucking brutal. Have you seen the third One's like,
Speaker 1: fucking hell, bro, what it's really interesting? You're like, this
Speaker 1: love story got very real. Yeah, and there's a sex
Speaker 1: in that that's amazing, where they're about to have sex
Speaker 1: and then they get a phone call and then they're
Speaker 1: arguing and it it's just and then at the end
Speaker 1: you're like, I don't even know what if there's what's
Speaker 1: the point? Yea, which I think is the perfect maxim
Speaker 1: for life, isn't point? Thank you Richard? There? Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I think you know and again, the whole the whole thing.
Speaker 1: It's not a love story, and as such it's full
Speaker 1: of like bitterness and resentment, but also beauty and like love,
Speaker 1: and it's just I think it's a really beautiful little
Speaker 1: nutshell of life and it objectively. Move on, What is
Speaker 1: the greatest film of all time? I'll tell you, please
Speaker 1: do I'll tell you it is Children of Men, not bad.
Speaker 1: It's good. He's not far off. It's a fucking great film.
Speaker 1: Thanks man. I didn't make it bad. No, we're done. No,
Speaker 1: you really put your heart into it. It's it's bloody good,
Speaker 1: isn't it. Oh, it's so good. This section would just
Speaker 1: be asking it's bloody with no detail or explanation. It's
Speaker 1: very good. It's very good. It also has the scene
Speaker 1: it's got a long one take in a car. Have
Speaker 1: you seen this film if you haven't, Yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: scene in a car that I think might be the
Speaker 1: greatest sequence in cinema that I've even seen the making
Speaker 1: of it. And I still don't understand how they did it.
Speaker 1: It's incredible. Explain, Well, there's a car, there's actors in it.
Speaker 1: They've got the roof, it's all the camera does three
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty degrees in the car. The roof sometimes
Speaker 1: comes up so it can make room for the camera
Speaker 1: and then pops back down. Motorbikes crash into the car,
Speaker 1: things blow up around them, all in one take. Everything
Speaker 1: is real except the one thing that isn't real, The
Speaker 1: one thing that cgi do you know this is there's
Speaker 1: a bit where they they spit ping pong balls into
Speaker 1: each other's mouth. Ping pong ball ain't real, sorry, guys, Yeah,
Speaker 1: which is yeah, which is probably the least disappointing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of all of those things, the rest of it it is,
Speaker 1: and the film it's like, there's there's a lot of
Speaker 1: those one takes that just go on and on and on,
Speaker 1: and I think it was one of the first films
Speaker 1: I saw where I understood what that was and how like,
Speaker 1: fucking it's so intense to be a part, like to
Speaker 1: be going along with that. And there's there is a
Speaker 1: scene where I don't know, I think it's about eight
Speaker 1: minute shot, and I think they had been I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm been a butcher of the story, but there was
Speaker 1: like they had like a week and a half to
Speaker 1: shoot it, to get everything prepped, and he basically is
Speaker 1: running through like a big war scene, explosions, carrying, going
Speaker 1: with people. I don't want to spoilers, but it's like mad,
Speaker 1: everything's kicking off. It's sort of like you know, the
Speaker 1: A towards the end of the film, and they had
Speaker 1: the producers that come down, They're like, we can't shoot
Speaker 1: this is the this is it. This is the last
Speaker 1: shot we're going to have. And I think that it's
Speaker 1: it's a credit to what he does with the rest
Speaker 1: of the film that he was like his vision is
Speaker 1: so clear, the world is so deep and rich, and
Speaker 1: in this shot Clive Owen is like running amongst this madness,
Speaker 1: and someone gets shot and there's blood that splatters and
Speaker 1: it's not supposed to, but it splatters onto the camera
Speaker 1: and onto the lens, and at that moment, an explosion
Speaker 1: goes off and Alfonso coron Is he sees the blood
Speaker 1: go on the thing and he's like, fuck, we got cut.
Speaker 1: We can't you can't have blood, we can't have it.
Speaker 1: But because and he's like cut, cut, cut, cut, But
Speaker 1: because I'm telling someone else's story, like as I don't know,
Speaker 1: and because this explosion had gone off, people didn't hear
Speaker 1: him say cut. And so the dal people was like, no,
Speaker 1: shut up, it's good, it's good, it's good. Was still
Speaker 1: going and suddenly there's like blood coming down the lens
Speaker 1: and it's so intense and there's like explosions everywhere and
Speaker 1: it's and this shot now because of the like because
Speaker 1: of this and something so fucking beautiful in it being
Speaker 1: this choreograph thing. There's so much pressure on this massive
Speaker 1: film budget that's something like right in the middle of
Speaker 1: this chaos that seems that you know on first view
Speaker 1: would be at the end of the shot suddenly becomes
Speaker 1: like the making of this scene. And I think that
Speaker 1: I think that, yeah, it's it's it's a film that
Speaker 1: just has so many layers in it, but there's moments
Speaker 1: of just like absolutely fucking heart wrenching brilliance and beauty.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I think it's you. You've argued correctly. Given
Speaker 1: me a clap, Give me a clap. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: would I would say it's Michael k For me, it's
Speaker 1: Michael Caine's best performance. I love it that that sequence
Speaker 1: with Ruby Tuesday and fu out of here. You know
Speaker 1: his best performance is Christmas Carol. And I'm not a second.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're gonna have second. You're gonna have a second.
Speaker 1: Should know my audience, get back, get out. What's the
Speaker 1: film you could or have? What's the most over and
Speaker 1: over again? Sewn of the Dead Lovely? Lovely? Is that
Speaker 1: if you had that lot on this? No? I know,
Speaker 1: but like just I want to know that I'm with
Speaker 1: the goods. Yeah, listen anything once we got past Valiant's
Speaker 1: love film, you watched this one a lot, have you? Yeah?
Speaker 1: All right, we do have to quickly deal with worst
Speaker 1: film you ever saw? What's the worst film you ever saw?
Speaker 1: Worst film? Over Saws, Black Widow? M Can I just say,
Speaker 1: for the record and on tape and in front of
Speaker 1: this what is I love everything that Marvel and Disney
Speaker 1: have ever done, and I think that everything they've ever
Speaker 1: done is perfect, and I would never have a bad
Speaker 1: word to say about it. I think that the gods
Speaker 1: of cinema and I and I love it. I love
Speaker 1: this film. Do you do that for every film that
Speaker 1: someone says at this point you're like, all right, but
Speaker 1: I love it, so don't. It's not me that's saying
Speaker 1: it tell us about black widows, And obviously I blanketly disagree,
Speaker 1: but god, oh man, it's like so, I mean, look,
Speaker 1: to make any film is a miracle, any film to
Speaker 1: get made, even with like mad budget, tiny budget, like
Speaker 1: it's it's brilliant. So like even to I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: this is a tough f it's a tough quote question
Speaker 1: to ask, but I understand why it's there. And I
Speaker 1: just think I've never walked out of a screening. I've
Speaker 1: never walked out of a film, and I didn't on this.
Speaker 1: But it was more because I was working in Farmer
Speaker 1: and there was much to do there, so I was like,
Speaker 1: rather being a dark room. I love Farm, but I
Speaker 1: just found it excruciatingly dull. It was more because it
Speaker 1: didn't feel like it was all added up and the
Speaker 1: accents were like mad way way way way, way, way, way,
Speaker 1: way way way. How could you be bored in a
Speaker 1: film where Ray Winston is playing a Russian who may
Speaker 1: never have visited Russia. I was never bored. When ray
Speaker 1: Winston was talking, I wanted him to talk more. I
Speaker 1: am well ration and I've been in Moscow's training my ration.
Speaker 1: Could you say rash in a few more times? Said
Speaker 1: they know where you're from? Where proper Russian? Mate. I
Speaker 1: loved it. I think it's perfect. I think that it was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean mad in it, and that's what I was.
Speaker 1: But like it just it felt like all of the
Speaker 1: set pieces were like a really good idea and it's
Speaker 1: like they ran out of time and they're like fuck,
Speaker 1: I just that's fine. Was but obviously Florence pe was
Speaker 1: amazing in it, because she's amazing in everything, and so
Speaker 1: that was and all of that. Liked to be fair,
Speaker 1: they put in a shift just I don't know, just
Speaker 1: one of those I just said on the poster they
Speaker 1: put in a ship. I just didn't jazz with it many.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about ray Winston in this because he
Speaker 1: is doing a mad accent. But he's so charismatic, he's
Speaker 1: so good. And I think Ray Winston, Michael Caine and
Speaker 1: Sean Connery neither No, all three of them can't do
Speaker 1: any voices. Yeah, but it doesn't matter impervious because they're
Speaker 1: so You just love them. And I really love Ray
Speaker 1: Winston in this Did you did you still love? I
Speaker 1: mean you you saw through it when the basic prep
Speaker 1: I'm gonna spoiler, I don't care. The basic premise is
Speaker 1: that the ladies who have superpowers still have superpowers because
Speaker 1: they can't smell something. And then she breaks his nose.
Speaker 1: I can smell, and then he does he like, he
Speaker 1: gets beaten up. Yeah, you still love? You? Still don't care?
Speaker 1: You absolutely loved it? All right? Fair enough? Top ten
Speaker 1: that in it? Top ten masterpiece. What's the You're funny boy,
Speaker 1: what's the film that made you laugh the most? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's tense, Johnny English, it's not high brow, you know what.
Speaker 1: This was the second film on your list that I
Speaker 1: had to watch. It's not bad. It's fun. It's very
Speaker 1: well made. It's fun. It's it's been playing Bond, Bean
Speaker 1: Bond being Bond. The name is Bean Bond Bean. It's great.
Speaker 1: It's so funny, and he like, yeah, I mean it
Speaker 1: is funny. I mean him getting him getting a muscle,
Speaker 1: relaxing it and just running around like what's not to
Speaker 1: love about that? Nothing? I loved it. Yeah, he is
Speaker 1: so and him pulling down the archbitical canterburies trousers, and
Speaker 1: then I went on a bit longer and I'm going,
Speaker 1: are you insane? It really made me like maybe it
Speaker 1: was again. I watched this with my cousins when I
Speaker 1: was like fifteen, and that sort of humor. I guess
Speaker 1: you're going, boy, I guess you're going to mate. It's
Speaker 1: good now, Phil. When you went skydiving and you jumped
Speaker 1: out and you opened your shoe, but your timing was
Speaker 1: what happened that day. I don't if you remember. There'd
Speaker 1: been that announcement that gravity was going to briefly stop,
Speaker 1: and and that's the bloody day you've gone skydiving. You
Speaker 1: jumped out, gravity stopped, and you went straight, straight up,
Speaker 1: straight up, and you passed through some clouds and she's
Speaker 1: right to leave this bit. This bit is gruesome. Went
Speaker 1: into the clouds and then your eyes popped out. Your
Speaker 1: intest is your your belly button? What's the then that
Speaker 1: your intestines came out, and then it is other intestines
Speaker 1: came out your ears. What about the poop the pooh
Speaker 1: that I didn't about it the pooh? Okay, it was
Speaker 1: like pellets and and then you you're you're, you were
Speaker 1: spinning like soundra bullock. But yeah, with intestines hanging out
Speaker 1: your ears like a skipping rope. And it was quite
Speaker 1: a sight. And uh and I loved it. And it
Speaker 1: was very visually, very beautiful actually kind of very moving.
Speaker 1: And anyway you could actually see me in the back
Speaker 1: of shot and gravity you can just be yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: George planning a little that's fun. And then you anyway,
Speaker 1: I was passing in the you know, spaceship and had
Speaker 1: a coffee, had a coffee with me, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm like, And I see you and I go, oh,
Speaker 1: do you know what's happened? He's forgoing about the gravity stuff.
Speaker 1: And I knew he'd do this, what a plum And
Speaker 1: so I tried to warn him. I said, I tried
Speaker 1: to warn. I said, don't go Scott. He said, I
Speaker 1: going Scott. I said, not on grabbit, He's dropped date anyway,
Speaker 1: put my hand in a pressure so I understand atmosphere,
Speaker 1: and I get you in a space lock. You're a
Speaker 1: fucking messmate. There's intestine. Now now you've now, I've turned
Speaker 1: the gravity on your intestines, hitting you in the in
Speaker 1: your empty eye sockets and like those poo pellets there
Speaker 1: in your face. Now you're a state. Sorry sorry guys,
Speaker 1: facts of facts. Yea. Anyway, I've put you in the coffee.
Speaker 1: Have to chop your actually have to get a I
Speaker 1: have to get a space axe because all these fucking
Speaker 1: intestines there was like tied up. We'll just tie up,
Speaker 1: wrappit around me. I can't out everywhere. Incredibly personal. I
Speaker 1: chop you up with a space ax. Yeah, space yeah.
Speaker 1: The camera caught me grinning while I did it. I
Speaker 1: don't know why. It was thrilling anywhere. Chop you up,
Speaker 1: get you in the coffin. Stuff you in. Turns out
Speaker 1: so a lot more of you than I was expected
Speaker 1: because on camera you're much smaller, and turns out you're
Speaker 1: a big boy, big boy, big boy, big intestines. Anyway,
Speaker 1: you're in the coffin. There's no room in this coffin.
Speaker 1: There really isn't. There's only enough room to slip one
Speaker 1: DVD in the side with you for you to take
Speaker 1: across to the other side. And every night it's movie
Speaker 1: night on the other side. What film are you taking?
Speaker 1: Sort of People of Heaven, which is just Divina and
Speaker 1: Bruce in Heaven. When it is your movie night, I'll

Speaker 1: maybe fifteen twenty minutes. We'll see if anyone in this
Speaker 1: audience would like to share anything with the written. Now.

Speaker 1: you're thinking I'm not talking, but I also know people
Speaker 1: now that now you can see each other, look at
Speaker 1: you fit. Oh look here we go fucking straight away.
Speaker 1: If you're asking to sign us that is better be
Speaker 1: what you're saying into this mic? Please would you mind
Speaker 1: giving a microphone to this lady who's never seen the
Speaker 1: podcast and does no ways see Hello? Hello, Hi, I'm good. Thanks,
Speaker 1: how are you? I had a fantastic evening. Thank you? Great?
Speaker 1: You should have a listen. No, I'm really glad, thank you. Um.
Speaker 1: So I know from my lovely friend who has told
Speaker 1: me all about the podcast that you talk about films
Speaker 1: that mean a lot to people, so I will share mine. Well, no,
Speaker 1: but with people in your it's not to people, So
Speaker 1: I'll give mine. I guess which is The Breakfast Club
Speaker 1: by John Hughes, mostly because I think it was the
Speaker 1: first time and this is I probably stopped. I was
Speaker 1: like eleven maybe, Um, it was on. Do you know
Speaker 1: when BBC used to actually show films on a Friday
Speaker 1: and Saturday night? I know, I'm really old, um, and
Speaker 1: I remember catching it and just thinking, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is the first time that a film has ever
Speaker 1: actually resonated with me in a way that isn't just entertainment.
Speaker 1: Who were you in the Breakfast Club? Oh god? I
Speaker 1: mean I think we all wanted to be like John Nelson,
Speaker 1: didn't we? But really in reality, I've probably like Dantony
Speaker 1: Michael hall m but it was I think it was
Speaker 1: just the way that it was written. Like John Hughes
Speaker 1: just had that thing that he could just tap in
Speaker 1: like that to any genre and whoever he was talking to,
Speaker 1: he got it. And I just remember being completely obsessed
Speaker 1: and going down to the x VHS rental shop that
Speaker 1: used to be able to buy do you remember used
Speaker 1: to be able to buy like old copies from films
Speaker 1: that rented one hundred times well not even black pasters.
Speaker 1: This was just this was like a stall in a market.
Speaker 1: The stuff probably fell off the back of a log.
Speaker 1: It was five it was five films for a five
Speaker 1: or so who cared? And I remember this doing the
Speaker 1: whole back catalog or John Hughes and like that was
Speaker 1: a moment. I'm like, do you know what that This
Speaker 1: is what film is supposed to be? This is what
Speaker 1: makes all of this, you know? You know what we
Speaker 1: love for the rest of our lives. You know these
Speaker 1: things that we go back to, the films that we love,
Speaker 1: even even the craptforms that I agree you grease too
Speaker 1: is amazing. It's better than grease. What's your what's your name,
Speaker 1: carl Carla, Carlie, Kylie. Could we have random plus Carlie
Speaker 1: for Thank you Kylie, thank you very much. I really
Speaker 1: feel like you're starting to get the podcast. It means
Speaker 1: a lot. Thank you. You're leaving amazing anyone else? Would
Speaker 1: anyone like to join? Yeah? Hello? What's your name? Victoria?
Speaker 1: Hello Victoria Jesus Hi. Um. First of all, love you Brett,
Speaker 1: Love you podcast. It saved my sanity. I'm very fund
Speaker 1: with you. Thank you. Um. And the film that means
Speaker 1: most to me. Yeah, it's probably a bit weird today,
Speaker 1: but it's it's well, it's Carrie brand Palmer's Carry Love
Speaker 1: Carry um. But I first sorry, it's Matilda in it. Yeah. Um,
Speaker 1: I first saw Carrie when I was seven. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know. But I have four brothers and they have
Speaker 1: two brothers, two sisters. And it was the first film.
Speaker 1: I asked that on VHS for Christmas and I said
Speaker 1: I want it, and my mom gave it to me.
Speaker 1: And it's the first film I had that was just
Speaker 1: mine and not my siblings, and I wouldn't let anyone
Speaker 1: else watch it. Through it, I learned who Stephen King was,
Speaker 1: I learned who Sissy Space. It was I learned through
Speaker 1: the who Brian Palmer was, and through that, through that
Speaker 1: Stephen King The Shining and then Jack Nickerson, and was
Speaker 1: introduced to all these films because of Carrie and I
Speaker 1: owe a lot to carry. And I'm also going to
Speaker 1: say any film by Jonathan Demi because he's the greatest
Speaker 1: filmmaker of all time. Thank you, really really good, Thank you,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Victoria. I also I really loved the idea
Speaker 1: of you locking yourself in a room from your entire
Speaker 1: family when he was seven. I know they can hear
Speaker 1: through the walls. Is a screaming. It's my favorite film.
Speaker 1: Leave Me Alone. Oh, I'm a teacher. It feels very
Speaker 1: weird to hold my hand up like that. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: feel Hello. No, what's your name? Hello? My name is Tara.
Speaker 1: I'm a hideous American. And I agree with everything that
Speaker 1: you said earlier. Um, My most meaningful film is actually
Speaker 1: Event Horizon terrifying. I hate scary movies and I hate
Speaker 1: being chilly. Yeah I don't. That's a level of masochism
Speaker 1: I'm not willing to go to. Thanks very much. But
Speaker 1: I've seen Event Horizon four times. Okay. I was in
Speaker 1: high school when it came at what ninety eight something
Speaker 1: like that, and my very best friend made me watch it,
Speaker 1: took me to the theater, all of my friends. I
Speaker 1: was just punching them through the whole thing. This is terrible.
Speaker 1: How dare you? Oh my gody, I'm so offended, screaming, crying, hiding,
Speaker 1: And then somehow I let them talk me into watching
Speaker 1: it repeatedly over the next few years. My best friend
Speaker 1: died when we were twenty five, and so it's one
Speaker 1: of those films that I hate, and yet my movie,
Speaker 1: my memories about that film are deeply, deeply rooted in
Speaker 1: my friend. And that's the thing the film does too, right, Like,
Speaker 1: I hate this movie. It's absolutely terrible and I will
Speaker 1: never watch it again. And I can't disassociate my best
Speaker 1: friend from the film. What's what was your name? Tara? Yes,
Speaker 1: that's my sister's name. That is such a beautiful answer,
Speaker 1: and I really appreciate you sharing that. We have a
Speaker 1: round of close Bob, thank you. Um. I keep a
Speaker 1: list of the questions from the podcast in my phone
Speaker 1: because it makes a very good icebreaker, or like car trip,
Speaker 1: like people who don't listen, I don't listen to podcast
Speaker 1: is the only podcast I listened to Ah, well, I'm
Speaker 1: on it. There's loads of others, which is partly why
Speaker 1: I don't listen to them. There are too many, and
Speaker 1: that's don't listen to Desert Island discs. Whatever. It's a
Speaker 1: ship sept I don't get it. Thank you, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you very much, thank you. There's a thing in
Speaker 1: the film Event Horizon, if you've not seen it, In
Speaker 1: the towards the end, Sam Neil's gone mad and he's
Speaker 1: like got his back to everyone and he's going to
Speaker 1: take the ship to hell, to actual hell, and they
Speaker 1: say and it took me. It was not until I
Speaker 1: was older that I realized it's like a back to
Speaker 1: the future reference that they go, we're going to hell?
Speaker 1: How are we going to get there? And he turns
Speaker 1: around and he's got no eyes. He's poked his own
Speaker 1: eyes out and he goes, where we're going, we don't
Speaker 1: need eyes. Yeah. It's a really good film. Yeah, ny anyone.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a tough one to follow, So good luck.
Speaker 1: Who's next? Who has the mate somewhere? Hello? Hi, what's
Speaker 1: your name? I'm Hannah, Hello Hannah, I'm Brett. This is
Speaker 1: film mate. Lovely to meet you. Actually scary, scary, It
Speaker 1: is scary. You're not wrong a lot of people. The
Speaker 1: film that I most relate to Slash. Also one of
Speaker 1: the films that means the most to me is Francis Her. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: it's a scary film and if you haven't watched it,
Speaker 1: you're missing out. But also like, just as someone who
Speaker 1: Holly like values female friendship from that life above pretty
Speaker 1: much everything else, I just think it's like it's relatable
Speaker 1: because it's just about figure out what you want to
Speaker 1: do with your life, which is very relatable. And there's
Speaker 1: just a bit in it where like Adam Driver, I
Speaker 1: think he says to her like he just started seeing
Speaker 1: great girl with character and he calls her like he says,
Speaker 1: hoy sexy and then her and Sophie like her best mate.
Speaker 1: They make it like a running joke for the rest
Speaker 1: of the film. And I live with two girls and
Speaker 1: that is literally like the most relatable thing I've ever
Speaker 1: seen in my life. Yeah, I just think it's beautiful.
Speaker 1: And also speaking for a friendship, I'm going to give
Speaker 1: a shout to my best friend but oldest friend who
Speaker 1: talks hearing me and talk me about the podcast. I'm
Speaker 1: so last. She did because I listened to it every day.
Speaker 1: That's my favorite podcast. Oh my god, bloody, thank you.
Speaker 1: That's very much. Thank you, right, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: The standard is so high. This guy that wants all
Speaker 1: the attention, let's hear it. But know what you're following.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I don't like you. You're too confident.
Speaker 1: This is it's not a film that means the most
Speaker 1: to me, but it's pretty funny story. I want to talk.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, no, no, I want to talk about the
Speaker 1: film Enter the Void. It's brilliant. Okay, I'm listening. So
Speaker 1: I watched this film about three months after I stopped,
Speaker 1: after I stopped smoking a load of weed, right, And
Speaker 1: what happens when you stop is your toll Arens just drops.
Speaker 1: But I didn't know that. So, you know, my friend's
Speaker 1: bound together and they're like, let's smoke a joint and
Speaker 1: watch this film. And I'm like, that sounds like a
Speaker 1: great idea. And I smoked some some of this joint
Speaker 1: and draw. I felt like a barking dog rough and
Speaker 1: I go into the kitchen and feeling shaky. You're not
Speaker 1: the only comedian here. I love that. I go into
Speaker 1: the kitchen and I hit the deck, I pass out,
Speaker 1: yea completely. I think I was out for maybe five minutes.
Speaker 1: My friend said, I woke up, everything was fine. The
Speaker 1: first thing I did was checked to see if if
Speaker 1: I chipped myself. I didn't. That was fine. So after
Speaker 1: that relief, I said, so we're watching this film then,
Speaker 1: so I just think it's funny that before watching Enter
Speaker 1: the Void, I entered the void. Well done? Um, does
Speaker 1: anyone else want to do their Edinburgh preview here? Thank
Speaker 1: you for thank you for sharing. That's really excellent. Um no,
Speaker 1: there's really are great healthy story. Wasn't here be miss? Actually? Uh,
Speaker 1: let's have someone here. There's a man with a beard.
Speaker 1: Is that right? A man with a beard. It's actually
Speaker 1: for my problem. Oh, it's for your brother. I wanted
Speaker 1: the man with the beard? Hi? Hello, Hello? What's your name? Sam? Hello? Sam?
Speaker 1: I had an idea for a question that you can
Speaker 1: introduce what I'll answer yours really quickly? So much going
Speaker 1: on it? Hanger? What's your idea? Why do you give
Speaker 1: there's a cliffhanger? Before you did it? My answer for
Speaker 1: the film That's Scared Me? Well, one of my answers
Speaker 1: for the film that's game in the most of eighth grade,
Speaker 1: because when she goes to the swim pool, it's horrifying. Which,
Speaker 1: what did you say, so eighth grade? Which fils great? Oh?
Speaker 1: Eighth great? That is my answer. That is fucking properly
Speaker 1: a scary film. Well done, Sam. What's your question that
Speaker 1: you want me to ask people? I thought could you
Speaker 1: always say that you have the alternative for what's a
Speaker 1: film that you used to like? Yeah? And then you
Speaker 1: say the opposite? Yeah, but the opposite would be a
Speaker 1: film that everyone loves that you don't love, but that
Speaker 1: doesn't exist. So I thought you could do like a
Speaker 1: controversial opinion on film. Yeah, okay, First Sam, what I
Speaker 1: like about your podcast is you don't need anyone else.
Speaker 1: We could just sit back. You don't need a guess,
Speaker 1: you don't nothing. It's probably mainly controversial to you. My
Speaker 1: opinion would be the School of Rock is basically just
Speaker 1: the worst version of Sister Act two. Right, show's over
Speaker 1: gets the people going, gets the people going. Samon is
Speaker 1: all right. Film podcast just saying ship for clicks. Oh Sam,
Speaker 1: what a shame, What a shame you lowed be in
Speaker 1: with your interviewing yourself style. Is there anyone here that
Speaker 1: I want to meet Hi. Hello, what's your name's Hannah? Hello, Hannah.
Speaker 1: All the Hannah's over there, Hannah. Do you want to stand?
Speaker 1: You don't have to do. That's a lot, that's Hannah.
Speaker 1: So one of the films that I love that everyone
Speaker 1: else that I've ever met seems to not like is Twilight.
Speaker 1: It just gets overheated so much. That is how you
Speaker 1: do it. Like it's a bad book with a bad
Speaker 1: script for a film with bad acting, but it's just brilliant. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Also it's a bit of a story. It's basically before
Speaker 1: I turned twenty, I had a bit of like a
Speaker 1: midlife crisis where I was like, I'm turning twenty, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to be a teenager anymore. And then I
Speaker 1: was like, I love Twilight. I'm going to continue watching it.
Speaker 1: And then I watched it about twenty times in a month,
Speaker 1: and it's just great. Yeah, I love that. I got
Speaker 1: no notes. Thank you, Hannah, thank you very much. Now,
Speaker 1: I look, there are people in the seats upstairs. We
Speaker 1: can't get the mics to you, but I wonder maybe
Speaker 1: we have one of you, because it's not fair that
Speaker 1: you're being left out, and but you're just gonna have
Speaker 1: to really project, but not like this guy. Like I said,
Speaker 1: I still want you to be a real person. Uh yeah,

Speaker 1: but not Mama Mia too. We don't what we don't
Speaker 1: accept it seems amazing. It's just she's not in it. No,
Speaker 1: it's the only good bit of Sharehold War War War
Speaker 1: WHOA No, Yeah, I Disagreema too is amazing. It's The
Speaker 1: Godfather too. No, it's not terrible. You're all crazy. You
Speaker 1: can't have Mamma Mia without the Mama. She does pop

Speaker 1: that we are your birthday gift. Hi. Hello, Hi? What's
Speaker 1: your name at? Ruby? Ruby? Hello? Hi? Meet you meet you.
Speaker 1: That's weird. We're not meeting your queer away, this is meeting.
Speaker 1: What would make this a meeting? This felt like a meeting.
Speaker 1: We had to shake. I'm a bit stressed. Now I
Speaker 1: backed myself and then I've shaved my mind. I've met
Speaker 1: you Ruby. I'm gonna tell everyone I met Ruby. Thank you.
Speaker 1: If you say we didn't meet, I mean you might
Speaker 1: regret it, because I'm about to tell you the film
Speaker 1: that I think would get me canceled. If I was
Speaker 1: famous enough to be on films to be varied. Well,
Speaker 1: maybe it's not that bad. Um. I would either bring
Speaker 1: us up a film that makes me laugh the most
Speaker 1: or film that means the most. But it's the twenty
Speaker 1: tens version of Saint Gernian's Yeah we like Saint Tronions. Okay,
Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes in it has just a completely unforgivable
Speaker 1: slur against Roman people, which I'm not defending. The whole
Speaker 1: sexy schoolgirls thing is weird, and yeah, Rupa Everett is
Speaker 1: playing Camilla Fritton with all his heart. And I went
Speaker 1: back and rewatched it and I was like, I think
Speaker 1: you know the whole premises it's Rupert everat in drag
Speaker 1: play Kamila Fritton, and I was like, this is gonna
Speaker 1: enda being transphobic, because it's gonna be really uncomfortable. It's
Speaker 1: not He's putting everything into playing Kamilla Fritton, and he's like, really,
Speaker 1: and Colin Firth is really selling the romance back at
Speaker 1: Rupert Everett. And in the same way that you can
Speaker 1: quote Sexy Beast, Saint Tronian's is the film that like,
Speaker 1: just me and my friends are just broken it down
Speaker 1: into the like single words, but we do them in
Speaker 1: the like in the voices. So there's a bit when
Speaker 1: she's doing school when one of the posh Tottis is
