Speaker 1: Look out.
Speaker 2: It's only films do be buried with? Hello, films to
Speaker 2: be buried with Crewe. This is your producer, Buddy Peace.
Speaker 2: I am again standing in for your regular host Brett Goldstein,
Speaker 2: who you're going to be hearing from later on in
Speaker 2: the episode, of course, but this is the next in
Speaker 2: a series of Films to be Buried with rewind Classics,
Speaker 2: where we dip into the voluminous films to be buried
Speaker 2: with archives and represent repackage, polish up a previous episode.
Speaker 2: This week, in an episode originally aired on August sixth,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, we revisit a classic appearance from Rob Delaney.
Speaker 2: You probably know Rob from the big and small screen,
Speaker 2: from films like Mission Impossible, Dead Reckoning Part One to
Speaker 2: the series Catastrophe where he starts opposite Sharon Horgan, or
Speaker 2: maybe his infamous Twitter feed which has been infamous for
Speaker 2: well over a decade now. Anyway, it's a lovely episode
Speaker 2: right in the glow of the pandemic, and it took
Speaker 2: a lot of tricky edits to smooth over the many
Speaker 2: interruptions from Rob's smaller human companions. But the funny is there,
Speaker 2: of course, alongside the more contemplative moments. Again, just to reiterate, basically,
Speaker 2: due to the ongoing SAG after a strike, we will
Speaker 2: be temporarily on pause, and that's sort of why we're
Speaker 2: doing these rewind classics, and it's also sort of it
Speaker 2: it kind of times in well with a seasonal break,
Speaker 2: which we have every sort of ten episodes or so.
Speaker 2: Also just to say if you are not already up
Speaker 2: to speed on the Patreon feature of the podcast, Basically
Speaker 2: on Patreon we do a video version of the podcast
Speaker 2: and an uncut and extended version of the podcast too,
Speaker 2: which has extra questions, a secret, lots more shatter and yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a really fun way of supporting because you get
Speaker 2: extra stuff and if you enjoy it, then it's a
Speaker 2: nice way to sort of so appreciation if you feel
Speaker 2: like that's achievable and if you feel like that's the
Speaker 2: doable thing for you, it's all incredibly appreciated obviously, and
Speaker 2: only goes back into the podcast. So yeah, huge things
Speaker 2: if you if you do decide to do that, If
Speaker 2: you fancy rating the podcast, that would be awesome too,
Speaker 2: but don't need a review of the podcast. In this case,
Speaker 2: we ask you to leave a review of your favorite
Speaker 2: film or of just a film, and yeah, make it
Speaker 2: make it funky. So that'd be awesome to hear from
Speaker 2: you that way too, So enjoy episode two seven to two,
Speaker 2: which was originally episode one hundred and seven, The Rewind
Speaker 2: Classic with the wonderful Rob Delaney.
Speaker 3: Hello, and welcome to Films to be Buried Weird. I
Speaker 3: am joined today by an award winner, an actor, a writer,
Speaker 3: a stand up.
Speaker 4: The first person to use Twitter for funny and the
Speaker 4: first person to use Twitter for good, A legend.
Speaker 5: And icon, a national treasure. Why not please welcome to
Speaker 5: the show, the brilliant Rob, the lady.
Speaker 1: Oh thank you. Wow, that was a lovely intro. I
Speaker 1: don't know who you were talking about.
Speaker 5: It was you, my friend. Thank you so much doing
Speaker 5: the show.
Speaker 4: I have to tell the listeners that I've put made
Speaker 4: pul Rob Waite about twenty minutes to try and sort
Speaker 4: out Sam Audia. He's been very polite. Chiel didn't tell
Speaker 4: me a joke. It was excellent, and there we are. Firstly,
Speaker 4: let me tell you I told you of Mike, and
Speaker 4: now I'll tell you what Mike. I watched your stand
Speaker 4: upsal Jackie on Amazon Pride.
Speaker 1: Bannie, Oh, thank you. You're very kind, Bunnie stuff.
Speaker 5: Really enjoyed it. How long were you in the making
Speaker 5: of that?
Speaker 1: I mean some of those jokes were a few years old,
Speaker 1: and then some of them were a few weeks old,
Speaker 1: you know. But yeah, I toured that around England. I
Speaker 1: can't say the UK because I only toured England because
Speaker 1: I have little kids, so and I'm not like a
Speaker 1: road doug, you know. So I go out like Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Speaker 1: every other week. You know, my agents will be like,
Speaker 1: how about weekends the time when people go to see
Speaker 1: stand up. I'm like, no, absolutely not. That's the high
Speaker 1: that's that's the like battle zone of parenting. That's the
Speaker 1: Parenting Olympics. That happens once a week. So I have
Speaker 1: to be home for that. But I had a great
Speaker 1: time touring around England and sleeping in my very own
Speaker 1: bed in London every night to do it. Yeah, that's pretty.
Speaker 5: Good, touring around the south and southwest of London. Did
Speaker 5: you did you?
Speaker 4: Speaking of parenting Olympics, how is your lockdown pandemic?
Speaker 1: I mean, well, first, not only did nobody die, nobody
Speaker 1: even got COVID nineteen, So that's massive. That's so grateful
Speaker 1: to be able to say that otherwise. You know, my
Speaker 1: kids are nine, seven, and one, so it's been pretty intense.
Speaker 1: You know, like the one year old thinks it's the
Speaker 1: greatest thing that ever happened because we're all home. The
Speaker 1: nine and the seven year old are like, why are
Speaker 1: we only with you hairy old people. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: my wife and myself and this baby. Like kids that
Speaker 1: age really need to be in school. And so there
Speaker 1: have been good parts and there have been bad parts,
Speaker 1: but I don't know, you know, like it's like a
Speaker 1: lost year academically for kids, but it's not a last
Speaker 1: year educationally, Like they've learned a lot about grit, how
Speaker 1: to overcome boredom, you know, solving you know once a
Speaker 1: century pandemic problems you know that crop up every one
Speaker 1: hundred years or so. So like trying to look on
Speaker 1: the bright side. And you know, I can't say anything
Speaker 1: about it without saying that we're in a vastly more
Speaker 1: comfortable position than most people. So underline everything I've said
Speaker 1: with who cares? Who cares? How it's been for me
Speaker 1: I do?
Speaker 4: And what about you as a as a creative and
Speaker 4: a performer and all of that are you Are you
Speaker 4: writing at home?
Speaker 5: Are you? Are you missing performing?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, I miss performing desperately. I missed the collaborative.
Speaker 1: Like I remember when I started writing Catastrophe with Sharon Horgan,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, this is so much
Speaker 1: more fun than writing alone, because I'd written a book
Speaker 1: right before that, which I really hated.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like the revisions, like once the editor read
Speaker 1: it and was like, hey, what if you did this,
Speaker 1: or could you elaborate on that? You know, once it
Speaker 1: was into like their rewrites, you know what you would
Speaker 1: call it if it were TV show, then I really
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. But I working alone. I used to think
Speaker 1: that I'd be like a solo flyer when I was
Speaker 1: like in my twenties and thought I was cool, But
Speaker 1: now that I know, I'm not. I like people and
Speaker 1: I like to work with people. So I really look
Speaker 1: forward to both doing stand up for a live audience,
Speaker 1: you know, being on a set, you know, actually taking
Speaker 1: something that I've written and turning it into something with
Speaker 1: other people. So yeah, I miss all that desperately. Have
Speaker 1: got a little bit done, but I vacillate from being
Speaker 1: like incredibly ashamed of myself for how little I've gotten done,
Speaker 1: and then whenever I do get anything done, I'm like,
Speaker 1: look with this hero extruded from his soul. So I
Speaker 1: at pretty average, I think for the sort of comedian
Speaker 1: writer type person, you know, vacillating between the two polls,
Speaker 1: never never at balance, never at peace?
Speaker 5: Could you act it before testify.
Speaker 1: A little bit? But nobody really cared. I had to
Speaker 1: hire myself as an actor before anybody was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: he's fine. I guess we'll put him in there thing
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, so it acted some, but it was
Speaker 1: not until I acted with my own words that were like, oh,
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, he'll be fine. We can't get Matt Damon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: call him. We call these three people and then call him.
Speaker 5: He talks about this. But I'm interested. Were you will
Speaker 5: you intimidate when you started testing?
Speaker 4: You're filming with Sharon and she's a lot more experienced.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Were you nervous in the beginning or was it like that?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah. I felt like my writing
Speaker 1: chops were you know, I was I'm hemming in holling
Speaker 1: because I want to say proud, I'll just say it.
Speaker 1: I looked at the scripts and I was like, I
Speaker 1: like these, but then I would act and I'd be like,
Speaker 1: oh God, oh Jesus, he is not good, and then yeah,
Speaker 1: totally so uh. But then over time I began to
Speaker 1: grow in confidence and realize, you know, it's it's one
Speaker 1: of those things where the more you do it, the
Speaker 1: better you get. Like I think any more born can act,
Speaker 1: like any moron can become proficient at saying things in
Speaker 1: a reasonably believable fashion. But it does take time. I
Speaker 1: don't think anybody really hits the ground running with acting
Speaker 1: because it is it is one of those things where
Speaker 1: you have to learn all the rules and then forget them,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 5: What I mean.
Speaker 1: You've got to so to develop the comfort in that
Speaker 1: crazy environment of lots of people being around it, being
Speaker 1: utterly fake, having to do multiple takes to be able
Speaker 1: to seem like a human being, having you know, relatable
Speaker 1: emotions in that weird mailstream does take time to develop.
Speaker 1: So over time I think I have gotten there. But
Speaker 1: in the beginning I was like, Oh, too bad, I'm
Speaker 1: the actor.
Speaker 5: Well you're absolutely brilliant in it. Oh shit, Well I
Speaker 5: forgot shit. I should have told you this up front,
Speaker 5: but I didn't because I'm an idiot. I'll just have to.
Speaker 5: I'll just have to. I'll just say it and then.
Speaker 4: Okay, and then we'll say it, and you you've died,
Speaker 4: your debt, you've died.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, how did he die?
Speaker 1: How did I die? My god, I don't know. I hope,
Speaker 1: I mean like I hope after a nice meal with
Speaker 1: my whole family, like I'm with with my whole family,
Speaker 1: and then I leave because I forgot something at home,
Speaker 1: and then a big industrial air conditioning unit that was
Speaker 1: on a crane being lifted over a road fell on me.
Speaker 1: So I died instantly. The corpse is unretrievable. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just like hamber It's like a thin red paste
Speaker 1: because what fell on me was so big. So I
Speaker 1: had a great time, went home to get I don't know,
Speaker 1: a newspaper clipping. Why is it it's twenty twenty.
Speaker 5: Why if you were planning a hostage letter?
Speaker 1: Exactly? My family and I kidnapped someone and then so
Speaker 1: I'm really excited because we've kidnapped this person, and then
Speaker 1: the thing fell on me and I died. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: how I died.
Speaker 4: You'd be amazed to have many people, well, I would
Speaker 4: like to tell what your last meal was, then.
Speaker 1: I guess nothing, not like it wasn't my favorite because
Speaker 1: I didn't know I was going to die. So it
Speaker 1: was just like a nice angel hair pasta with meatballs,
Speaker 1: and I had nice salad, a nice rocket based salad,
Speaker 1: a nice spicy rocket.
Speaker 4: How old were you and how old would you like
Speaker 4: to be when this happens?
Speaker 1: Eighty two is fine?
Speaker 4: Okay, that's pretty nice. I mean annoying for the people
Speaker 4: waiting for the newspaper clipping be brought.
Speaker 1: Back, but they never. My family's so upset they forget
Speaker 1: to do the ransom and the person just starves to
Speaker 1: death in a basement in Croydon.
Speaker 4: There, Now, Rob, do you worry about death? We talk
Speaker 4: about death a lot on this podcast. Do you worry
Speaker 4: about it for yourself?
Speaker 1: No, I don't. My family would be sad. Uh, so
Speaker 1: i'd be. I'd really be worried about them. So just
Speaker 1: for them, I'd like to stay alive for a very
Speaker 1: long time. But you may know that one of my
Speaker 1: sons died a couple of years ago. So my feeling
Speaker 1: is like I don't necessarily believe that we'll like be
Speaker 1: reunited in some physical you know, Judeo Christian paradise location
Speaker 1: where we'll get to like corporeally hang out. I doubt that.
Speaker 1: In fact, I hope that isn't true, because I think
Speaker 1: that would be very boring for everyone who's been dead
Speaker 1: for more than a half an hour, they'd be like, okay, wow,
Speaker 1: this is a lot like Earth. So but I know
Speaker 1: that when I die, I would get to experience what
Speaker 1: he experienced and thus share something with him. So I
Speaker 1: don't want to die anytime soon. But when I do,
Speaker 1: let's do it. Baby. I really am not worried about
Speaker 1: it at all. In fact, I look forward to it.
Speaker 1: Yet I hope decades into the future.
Speaker 5: Man, that's that's fair. Well, that's fat that.
Speaker 4: Do you have a kind of thought of what the
Speaker 4: after life is if you don't think it's sort of body's.
Speaker 1: Hanging out together, I don't. I hope that it's way, way,
Speaker 1: way beyond my imagination, you know, like when I think
Speaker 1: about like, you know, capital g God. Because I grew
Speaker 1: up I went to a Jewish nursery school. I grew
Speaker 1: up in a very Jewish community, but my family's Catholic,
Speaker 1: and then I went to Catholic school, so I had
Speaker 1: like Judeo Christian god history, folklore, or whatever you want
Speaker 1: to call it belief. You know that I marinated in
Speaker 1: through the early part of my life, and the way
Speaker 1: that that was described didn't really work for me, because
Speaker 1: I just don't want God to be something that like
Speaker 1: we can imagine how boring, you know, they say, you know,
Speaker 1: God created man in his image, and man, being a gentleman,
Speaker 1: returned to the favor like the idea of imagine a
Speaker 1: God with like an ego, imagine a God that wanted
Speaker 1: or didn't want, you know. So I don't believe in
Speaker 1: a deity, so hopefully we really can't even imagine what
Speaker 1: it is, you know. But yeah, I hope that it's
Speaker 1: so beyond us that we can't even imagine. Like if
Speaker 1: my just anemic, cluttered, horrible, tiny human imagination has any
Speaker 1: idea what happens next, then it must suck. So I'm
Speaker 1: just super at peace with not knowing what happens next.
Speaker 1: But I don't think it's bad because it's going to happen,
Speaker 1: so it's probably you know, fine, I think that's right.
Speaker 4: I think that is well, what do I know, But
Speaker 4: I do think that's right. I think it's meant to
Speaker 4: be beyond our brains, isn't it.
Speaker 5: Anyway. I know everything you've been through and.
Speaker 4: I'm so so sorry for it, and I think I
Speaker 4: can't imagine, but I also imagine that changes your outlook
Speaker 4: of the bigger picture in a huge way that it does. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we're going to but anyway, i'd love for you.
Speaker 5: There is a heaven and it's better than your little
Speaker 5: brain going to come.
Speaker 1: Up with oh good, because it has a VCR.
Speaker 4: Everyone there's obsessive films, and in this heaven, they're obsessed
Speaker 4: with films, and all they want to know about is
Speaker 4: your life through the medium of film. And the first
Speaker 4: thing they ask you is what is the first film
Speaker 4: you remember seeing?
Speaker 1: Yeah? And for me that's The Wizard of Oz. No shit, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's your first film that I remember seeing. Yeah, and yeah,
Speaker 1: crazy about it. To this day, I often get angry
Speaker 1: that whenever people talk about Gone with the Wind, I'm like,
Speaker 1: do you know that the same director made The Wizard
Speaker 1: of Oz that same year? I mean, I guess his name,
Speaker 1: which I can't remember, is like Vincent. I'm surprised I
Speaker 1: can't remember. I think he took over for Gone with
Speaker 1: the Wind because back then it wasn't as important who
Speaker 1: directed it as who produced it, because they had way
Speaker 1: more power or rather kind of control over the shape
Speaker 1: of the film. Because Gone with the Wind. I hate
Speaker 1: Gone with the Wind. I mean I really think it's
Speaker 1: a mess and long and bad. But Wizard of Oz
Speaker 1: is amazing. I mean it has everything. It's like scary
Speaker 1: even if you're an adult, of flying monkeys and melting witches.
Speaker 1: I mean what it captures in the did you know
Speaker 1: of like human fear and the elements and the music,
Speaker 1: and it's just amazing.
Speaker 5: What was the seconds you watch it? Do you remember,
Speaker 5: like was it at home with family?
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, it would have been on our TV. It
Speaker 1: would have come on television on a Sunday afternoon or something,
Speaker 1: so we would have watched it then with commercials.
Speaker 5: Where did you grow up?
Speaker 1: I grew up in a little town outside of Boston, Massachusetts. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: so I mean, yeah, I've watched it with my kids.
Speaker 1: My little sister watched it. She was five years younger
Speaker 1: than me, so I watched it and then she watched it.
Speaker 1: We didn't have VCRs when I was a kid, so
Speaker 1: it's just what was just what we did by her childhood,
Speaker 1: so by the time she was old enough to want
Speaker 1: to watch it, she could watch it again and again
Speaker 1: and again. I didn't have that luxury. I grew up
Speaker 1: at a time before petrol and flight and video home
Speaker 1: video technology. But just the best Wizard of Oz lovely.
Speaker 5: What is the film that scared you the most? And
Speaker 5: do you like being scared?
Speaker 1: Love being scared?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah? As a kid. For me, it was a film
Speaker 1: that it came on TV. I think it wasn't a
Speaker 1: VCR rental. I said, Dad, can I watch this with you?
Speaker 1: And He's like, it's gonna be scary. I know it's
Speaker 1: gonna be scary, and I was like, yeah, but I
Speaker 1: want to please. And he was like all right. And
Speaker 1: this is a film called The Island with Michael Caine,
Speaker 1: you know, a mid tier, mid to low tier Michael
Speaker 1: Caine film. Basically it had some modern pirrating going on.
Speaker 1: And what happened was a guy like a canoe with
Speaker 1: like a tarp over it, like bumped into his nice
Speaker 1: sailboat and he looked over to He's like, hey, what's
Speaker 1: this And as he leaned over, a guy pulled out
Speaker 1: the tarp and came and just buried a hatchet deep
Speaker 1: in this guy's forehead. And I'm super at this point,
Speaker 1: like maybe six or seven, and I lost my mind
Speaker 1: and was like, why did you let me watch that?
Speaker 1: And he's like, I told you to go. I shouldn't
Speaker 1: have blah blah, you know. And I slept for months
Speaker 1: afterwards fully in case, like I'd wrap myself up like
Speaker 1: a burrito on the sides and the top and the feet,
Speaker 1: like I like sewed myself into a blanket, like so
Speaker 1: I couldn't breathe. And that was the first film that
Speaker 1: scared me.
Speaker 5: And you still like these kids?
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh god, I love it. Yeah, I mean like
Speaker 1: Midsummer My wife and I loved that. We saw that.
Speaker 1: That was like such a great date for us, just joyously. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we love horror movies. My wife began to use horror
Speaker 1: movies like therapeutically when our son was in the hospital,
Speaker 1: just because nothing that any filmmaker could conceive of would
Speaker 1: be as terrifying as what was happening to us. So
Speaker 1: I think it was almost like I would give riddle
Speaker 1: in to an overactive kid or something like, we would
Speaker 1: relax with horror movies. So ari Asters, uh, the ari
Speaker 1: Asser double feature of Hereditary in Midsommer. Midsommer in particular,
Speaker 1: very very helpful for us. We actually went and saw
Speaker 1: Midsummer with another friend of ours who had a child die. No,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry it was hereditary, and the three of us
Speaker 1: were just sitting there laughing and having a good time
Speaker 1: while the rest of the I was like, what is
Speaker 1: wrong with these people? And we were like, quite a bit,
Speaker 1: quite a bit is wrong with us.
Speaker 4: That's so, I mean, I have to talk about this
Speaker 4: on the pod as well, but you would be amazed. Look,
Speaker 4: I've had one hundred comedians on this I redon eight
Speaker 4: of them say they like scary films most okay, hate
Speaker 4: most hate.
Speaker 1: You can't get enough.
Speaker 5: Yeah, me too.
Speaker 4: And then I read this whole thing this week. Someone
Speaker 4: sent me that you were right about science, like genuine psychology,
Speaker 4: so that it's good for you, that horror is good
Speaker 4: for you, and that it's a it's a way of
Speaker 4: dealing with the terrible yeah things that happened, that thoughts
Speaker 4: you have in the phase of death.
Speaker 1: And one film I found, super Therapeutic was the first
Speaker 1: Safty Brothers film. Am I saying, I don't know how
Speaker 1: to say that. Good tie? Yeah me too, because that
Speaker 1: one's like so tense. It's like Texas Jay'saw massacre level tense.
Speaker 1: And then at the end I was just like all
Speaker 1: that stuff. I was just watching it feeling that wasn't
Speaker 1: happening to me, and then like sleeping like a baby.
Speaker 4: That's funny. What about the film that makes you cry?
Speaker 4: The nice and now you a big cryer.
Speaker 1: I love when a movie makes me cry. That would
Speaker 1: be a tie between Broke Back Mountain and The Elephant Man.
Speaker 5: Oh well, a double bar double bear.
Speaker 4: Elephant Man just went my heares. And it is so
Speaker 4: magical and insane that he made The Elephant Man after
Speaker 4: making a raise ahead and that Meil Brooks that it
Speaker 4: was mel Brooks's idea.
Speaker 5: It makes me love mail Brooks even more than I
Speaker 5: already love it.
Speaker 4: Yes, And I read I just read David Lynch's half autobiography,
Speaker 4: which is really mad and fascinating, and there's his story
Speaker 4: of making The Elephant Man's like he you know, he
Speaker 4: was very young and he'd only made this basically student film,
Speaker 4: and he went to London and I think Anthony Hopkins
Speaker 4: was a bit of ad dick to him. I think
Speaker 4: most of the actors were a bit like, who's this
Speaker 4: fucking American kid coming here to make it this English story?
Speaker 5: And he said he walked through this street in London.
Speaker 4: He found this street that was like an old Victorian street,
Speaker 4: and he says, he says in the book, and I
Speaker 4: felt this wind rush through me and suddenly I understood
Speaker 4: and could see all of Victorian England. And then you
Speaker 4: watch the film and you go, yeah, I believe you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you got it.
Speaker 1: Oh that's amazing.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I remember watching that in a little cubicle I would
Speaker 1: have been about eighteen at n y U and getting
Speaker 1: getting it out of the film library and watching it
Speaker 1: and just weeping in you know, a public library, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, with like pretty girls around, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: so beautiful, Okay, so Broke Back Mountain. Just these guys,
Speaker 1: my god, the pain of this secret that they have
Speaker 1: to hold is just unbelievable. And it's really weird because
Speaker 1: like that film is just so brilliantly made in every
Speaker 1: possible way that I think it just would speak to anyone,
Speaker 1: you know, like I happen to not be gay, okay,
Speaker 1: but sometimes I wonder like did it hit me so
Speaker 1: hard because of like alcoholism, you know, like, because I remember,
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to think, like, what secrets have I
Speaker 1: held on to the hurt so much, And I remember
Speaker 1: like getting sober and finding out that the just horror
Speaker 1: that I felt inside of myself and like had a
Speaker 1: name and they might even have a treatment. The unbelievable
Speaker 1: relief that I felt of feeling like, Okay, now people
Speaker 1: are gonna know what this is. Like so many people
Speaker 1: didn't already know, but I was trying to hold onto
Speaker 1: it so tightly. But I you know, of course that
Speaker 1: movie resonated with people who are not alcoholics and who
Speaker 1: also aren't carrying around deep in our secrets, you know.
Speaker 5: But I think you're right. I think everyone has a
Speaker 5: has a thing.
Speaker 4: They feel shame or they feel darkness in themselves.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I really love that. Really, how old were you
Speaker 5: when you got sober?
Speaker 1: Twenty five? Okay, and I'm forty three. Now for those
Speaker 1: people listening who aren't my mom.
Speaker 5: Yeah, tell me this. What is the film?
Speaker 4: People don't like? It's critically not a plant, but you are, like,
Speaker 4: you guys are dummies. This film's a masterface.
Speaker 1: One film that I don't know why I saw it
Speaker 1: because I can't imagine I would have rented it. This
Speaker 1: seems like a dad rental Rising Sun with Sean Connery
Speaker 1: and Wesley Snipe based on the Michael Crichton book. So
Speaker 1: that film. First of all, if Wesley Snipes is in it,
Speaker 1: I watch it. So I don't know that I really
Speaker 1: need to defend this choice. But the film is just
Speaker 1: like it's quite boiler plate, and uh, I guess just
Speaker 1: the interplay. I mean they're an odd couple, Sean Connery
Speaker 1: and Western Snipes.
Speaker 5: I don't have that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like they don't have that organic free song that
Speaker 1: Danny Glover and Mel Gibson do in the Leave the Weapon.
Speaker 1: You know they're not. But hey, if they don't team
Speaker 1: up take down the Japanese caricatured bat guy, you know,
Speaker 1: then I don't know what they do. So yeah, there's
Speaker 1: just sort of darkness. Oh there's a little sexiness. Uh yeah.
Speaker 1: I just said the movie was fun to me and
Speaker 1: whenever it came on I never turned it off. Amazingly,
Speaker 1: that came out the same year as a as a
Speaker 1: genuine Wesley Snipes masterpiece, Demolition Man with Sylvester Stallone. But
Speaker 1: like that's not a guilty pleasure, that's just a that's adulterated,
Speaker 1: pure pleasure. Everybody loves demolition Man and bull How could
Speaker 1: we forget Sandra Bullock?
Speaker 4: We must, we must never forget. What is the film
Speaker 4: that you used to love loved him? You've watched it recently.
Speaker 5: And you felt, oh, no, that's not held out for
Speaker 5: me for whatever reason.
Speaker 1: That might be Spanish Prisoner, Yeah, with Steve Martin and
Speaker 1: Campbell Scott and David Mammont's wife. Oh, it's crazy, but
Speaker 1: I think I might have seen that like twice in
Speaker 1: the cinema when it came out, and then my wife
Speaker 1: and I watched it recently and just utterly sucks. You know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really a weird, stilted, halting mess. It would be
Speaker 1: a good short story because it's just a little gimmick,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I don't remember.
Speaker 4: It's all twist twist, twist, twist. Isn't it all that fun?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean it would be a fun,
Speaker 1: oh Henry adjacent type short story. But in David Mammott's hands,
Speaker 1: it wasn't a good film. And I you know what's
Speaker 1: interesting is I think David Mammott theoretically he wrote one
Speaker 1: of his students wrote one of the only good books
Speaker 1: on acting, which is called Practical Handbook for the Actor
Speaker 1: by the Atlantic Theater Company. That's a good, simple book
Speaker 1: because a book. You can't learn how to act from
Speaker 1: a book. You just have to do it again and
Speaker 1: again and again and again. But this book is the thin,
Speaker 1: thin volume that is worth a shit.
Speaker 5: You know, what's your takeaway from that?
Speaker 1: But oh, like, what would this mean for me? How
Speaker 1: do I get what I want? You know? What am
Speaker 1: I trying to do here? You know? That's all? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it. That's acting. You know, if you want to
Speaker 1: put on a funny nose or learn how to go
Speaker 1: cobble literally like Daniel da Lewis in Italy before you
Speaker 1: make I think you did that before the Crucible. You
Speaker 1: can do that too that it won't hurt your performance.
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I mean like Tom Cruise is
Speaker 1: really one of my favorite actors because he doesn't really
Speaker 1: chameleonize too much in between roles. But since by all
Speaker 1: accounts he's insane, that's really great for acting, you know,
Speaker 1: or like Nicholas Cage because they utterly believe what they're
Speaker 1: doing and as a result, so to you, you don't
Speaker 1: want you might not want to have lunch with Tom Cruise.
Speaker 1: But god damn it, I bet you want to watch
Speaker 1: this movie and jump up and clap when it's over.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so brilliant.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Robb the lady comedian actor. Right, what is the
Speaker 4: film that means the vice to you? Not necessarily because
Speaker 4: the film itself is any good, but because of the
Speaker 4: experience you had around seeing the film that will always
Speaker 4: make it special to you.
Speaker 1: Right, So I came up with a negative one for this.
Speaker 1: I hope that's okay. I bet a lot of people
Speaker 1: are like, you know, well, I first met Lucy and
Speaker 1: we held hands. No, for me, there's a film called
Speaker 1: Instinct with Anthony Hopkins and I think you were getting
Speaker 1: Junior and it's real, really hot garbage. And I happened
Speaker 1: to be I lived like in downtown New York in
Speaker 1: the late nineties, and I had some meeting up in Harlem.
Speaker 1: I don't even remember what for and I got up
Speaker 1: there quite early or like, I don't know, I had
Speaker 1: two meetings in Harlem or something. So there's a two
Speaker 1: hour window that I've got, right, and it's raining, So
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I gotta go to a movie, you know,
Speaker 1: and hear my little angel bells. So I've got two
Speaker 1: hours to kill. It's raining, I'm in a neighborhood I
Speaker 1: don't know, well, so I don't I'm not able to
Speaker 1: duck in just anywhere, and I can't explore the lovely
Speaker 1: neighborhood because it's raining. So I got duck in an
Speaker 1: instinct Anthony Hopkins Academy Award winning Titan Anthony Hopkins and
Speaker 1: Cuba Ganting Junior, who he might have also won an
Speaker 1: Academy Award at that point, so you know you're thinking,
Speaker 1: all right, we got pedigree. Anyway, the movie was so
Speaker 1: bad that I walked out, even having paid for it.
Speaker 1: And at this point I have no money, like whatever,
Speaker 1: the seven dollars it cost me by the ticket like
Speaker 1: was an important seven dollars, and I was like nope,
Speaker 1: I just left and I just stood in the rain
Speaker 1: for like the last like seventy minutes. So I was like,
Speaker 1: I'd just rather get rained on. And then I went
Speaker 1: to my second meeting wet because that movie was such
Speaker 1: unbelievable trash. Oh second runner up meet Joe Black by
Speaker 1: Martin Breast with again Anthony Hopkins, who of course I
Speaker 1: love like anybody. Yeah, but he's done some turkeys mit.
Speaker 1: Joe Black was so bad that I actually saw of
Speaker 1: a screening at NYU and Martin Brest was at it,
Speaker 1: and I had to like run out of there because
Speaker 1: I couldn't be in the presence of Martin Brest, because
Speaker 1: I would have he would have been like any questions.
Speaker 1: I would have been like that sucked, and it would
Speaker 1: have been like not a question, Please leave any questions?
Speaker 5: Why why O a bit?
Speaker 4: Can you explain the thing I never understood about me?
Speaker 4: Jap Bet maybe have said this before, but I haven't.
Speaker 4: What do I understand about me? Tay Bet is basically
Speaker 4: the message which okay, meetjob blat. She meets a guy,
Speaker 4: she pulls. He then gets hit by twenty five cars
Speaker 4: that takes about seven minutes.
Speaker 5: He's dead.
Speaker 4: Death comes to visit dressed as looking like the guys
Speaker 4: she fell in love with, but it's not the guy
Speaker 4: she fell in love with.
Speaker 5: It's Death. She then falls in love with.
Speaker 4: Death right, but Death then has to go back home
Speaker 4: to being death, so Death then leaves, but as a tree,
Speaker 4: sends back Brad Pitt, the original guy, and.
Speaker 5: They get together.
Speaker 4: But the guy she's full in love with is not
Speaker 4: this guy it was death, but he just looks the
Speaker 4: same and it doesn't matter. And at first I was like,
Speaker 4: what's the fucking message this? And then I was like, oh,
Speaker 4: the message is if you look like Brad Pitt, anyone
Speaker 4: will love you regardless.
Speaker 1: Of your person that it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: what's inside.
Speaker 4: And then I thought that's the perfect that makes sense is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean that's very valid in this world.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that retracts everything that says in Masterpiece. Yeah,
Speaker 4: what is the film you're most relating, Rob de Lady.
Speaker 1: I know that they're like big famous movies, you know,
Speaker 1: but the fact is is Trainspotting and Requiem for a
Speaker 1: Dream they're not my favorite movies. Yes they're good, but
Speaker 1: that's really what alcoholism and addiction felt like for me.
Speaker 1: Like I watch those movies and I just like like
Speaker 1: really felt that I just remembered this as well. Even
Speaker 1: more than those was The Two Towers, the second one
Speaker 1: where Gollam splits in two and there's a good one
Speaker 1: and a bad one and they're like battling each other.
Speaker 1: That is actually better than Trainspotting and recom for a
Speaker 1: Dream at capturing what it felt like for me to
Speaker 1: be in the throes of alcoholism and addiction. I should
Speaker 1: also say I don't really like the Lord of the
Speaker 1: Rings movies. I'm not saying they're not good. I'm just
Speaker 1: saying they don't really speak to me personally. Those massive
Speaker 1: tent pole event, you know, billion dollar budget movies rarely
Speaker 1: tickle me on the inside. It's not a value judgment.
Speaker 1: It's just me, my genetic makeup. However, when Gonald Splitsten two,
Speaker 1: I was like, I feel that yeah, so yeah, and
Speaker 1: then another one and it's just so embarrassing. A chorus
Speaker 1: line the movie is a billion jillion percent what it
Speaker 1: feels like to get started in entertainment because the odds
Speaker 1: are so against you. You have to put out like
Speaker 1: the purest essence of who you are and just have
Speaker 1: it spit on and slapped around. So, if you want
Speaker 1: to know what it's like to have to like make
Speaker 1: your bones in the entertainment, a chorus line is stop one.
Speaker 1: If you can't handle that, then definitely don't take the ride.
Speaker 1: Were you we.
Speaker 4: Always doing what you're doing, like from the university onwards.
Speaker 1: So I that's what I went to college for. I
Speaker 1: went I studied musical theater, at university.
Speaker 5: Why aren't you.
Speaker 1: I'm actually in talks right now. I mean the most
Speaker 1: serious talks yet about doing a West End musical. I
Speaker 1: won't say any more than that, but the right thing
Speaker 1: may have come along and we're talking about it. Yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: I'd be pretty thrilled. Oh I can't say what it was,
Speaker 1: but I actually pre this wasn't because of coronavirus. It
Speaker 1: was because Disney bought twentieth Century Fox. But I had
Speaker 1: gotten a huge role in a huge musical and then
Speaker 1: Disney bought twentieth Century Fox and was like, just put
Speaker 1: it on the shelf. So I'm trying to get into musicals,
Speaker 1: so I'll keep you posted. But yeah, no, So I
Speaker 1: did that, and then my final year of university, I
Speaker 1: went and saw some comedy and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: screw musicals.
Speaker 5: I wanted to do comedy.
Speaker 1: And then I had a detour because of drinking and
Speaker 1: in being in America where I needed to get. You
Speaker 1: have to do sometimes you just have to shoot a
Speaker 1: dream behind the barn and kill it because you have
Speaker 1: to get a job that has benefits so that you
Speaker 1: can get health insurance, because that's how America works. So
Speaker 1: I had i thought for a few years in my
Speaker 1: twenties like, oh, I guess it's just not going to
Speaker 1: happen because I have to work at this shit factory
Speaker 1: to get health insurance so that I can afford things
Speaker 1: like surgery should I need it, which I did after
Speaker 1: the car accident that I was in when I was
Speaker 1: twenty five. So then when I was thirty, is that right?
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm doing it. Screw it, and I
Speaker 1: just said, yeah, I'm a comedian, and the rest of
Speaker 1: the world was like, no, you're not, or at the
Speaker 1: very least, yeah, we're not interested in what you're peddling.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I'll show you, and uh, you know.
Speaker 1: Then some years of hand the mouth and then over
Speaker 1: time it has worked out. Thank goodness.
Speaker 5: Here we go. This is probably what everyone's been waiting for. Delay.
Speaker 5: What's the sexiest film you've ever seen?
Speaker 1: So I have two answers here. Sexiest ever? I think
Speaker 1: it was like seventeen when the film Sirens came out,
Speaker 1: and uh so the perfect age and you've got Elle mcpheerson,
Speaker 1: Tara Fitzgerald, all these women. I remember, like Elle mcpheerson
Speaker 1: talking and interviews how she like gained weight for it,
Speaker 1: which like hello, like and and just so yeah. I mean,
Speaker 1: for those who haven't seen it, it's basically it's like
Speaker 1: a fun It's a good movie with a tremendous amount
Speaker 1: of nudity where Hugh Grant as a minister and his
Speaker 1: wife Tyr Fitzgeralder sent to deepest Australia to start a
Speaker 1: church or something, and then they have to tame this
Speaker 1: wild artist who likes the paint naked women and son
Speaker 1: of a gun if they don't wind up getting tamed.
Speaker 1: But I mean, it's a bright, airy, lovely like women
Speaker 1: like it. It's not you know, it's not exploitative or anything.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the thread count is low, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And so I remember seeing that at age
Speaker 1: seventeen and being like, I really want to spend some
Speaker 1: time in Australia and this is a special time for
Speaker 1: me seeing this film, I imagine a future where I'll
Speaker 1: be renting it not infrequently, And so I would say
Speaker 1: that was the one for me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what was your second?
Speaker 1: Oh this isn't the sexiest, but it is the recent
Speaker 1: sexinest where I watch and I'm like, come on, man,
Speaker 1: and that's missus. Credibles but in the incredible okay, you know,
Speaker 1: and especially whenever she like like complains about the suit
Speaker 1: being tight or whatever, I'm like, yeah, that it is.
Speaker 1: It is, Yeah, it is tight. This is incredible, you know,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, give me. I mean, it's just the
Speaker 1: that butt. Come on, man, you know, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: watch a move with my family and you're just parading
Speaker 1: this butt around, you know, this weapons grade.
Speaker 4: But well, the sub category to this question is traveling
Speaker 4: by and is worrying whider filmy father rising? You went
Speaker 4: sure you should? Is your answer incredible? So do you
Speaker 4: have a different answer?
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sorry? That was it? Yeah right, that was
Speaker 1: it the incredible? Yeah, I'm sorry, that's okay. That's I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't believe in like shaming people for
Speaker 1: their desires or whatnot. So I'm not actually embarrassed about that.
Speaker 1: But I am guessing the animators weren't like, yeah, let's
Speaker 1: make this forty three year old be like growl at
Speaker 1: the screen while he's watching a family with its one
Speaker 1: year old wife and kids.
Speaker 4: You know, boy, Rob Delaney, why is objectively, objectively the
Speaker 4: greatest film of.
Speaker 1: Aute I think again, I think that for me the
Speaker 1: greatest in that evoking the widest range of emotions from
Speaker 1: the most amount of people. The greatest objectively, I think
Speaker 1: is The Wizard of Oz. Yeah, because it's scary, it's funny,
Speaker 1: it's musical, it's archetypal, you know what I mean. Like
Speaker 1: it's so it's a very special film and you don't
Speaker 1: really look at it and you're like, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: there's no parts that are like threadbare. Like you can
Speaker 1: look at aspects of Star Wars, you know, a New
Speaker 1: Hope and be like, well, all right, okay, and then
Speaker 1: you know, but you can't really do that with Wizard
Speaker 1: of Oz.
Speaker 4: Profound the Thing of the Wizard, Bhindicut and The Little Manicut.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that holds up. What is the film you can
Speaker 4: or have watched the most over.
Speaker 5: And over again?
Speaker 1: I think that those that would be out of sight
Speaker 1: I love Yeah, and Lost Highway my absolute favorite. Now
Speaker 1: let's start with Lost Highway. I don't think it's the
Speaker 1: best David Lynch film. It's just the one that I
Speaker 1: watched the most. I feel like you can dip in
Speaker 1: and out of it, maybe a little better than certain
Speaker 1: films of his, because there's episodic aspects, you know, And
Speaker 1: in terms of his sort of dualistic I think trilogy
Speaker 1: because the films where you've got this guy is the
Speaker 1: side of that guy or they're both is blue Velvet,
Speaker 1: Lost Highway muholland drive right, Like, there's an argument to
Speaker 1: be made. He made this. He told the same story
Speaker 1: three times, three different ways. Great, more people should do
Speaker 1: that if they're as brilliant as him. But with Lost Highway,
Speaker 1: I think since it's actually literally a different actor playing them,
Speaker 1: and just all the different vignettes with like the cowboy
Speaker 1: at the ranch, Oh no, that's that's time, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: on the phone yeah yeah, and you know the house
Speaker 1: that explodes and the saxophone and pullman and uh and
Speaker 1: crazy uh what's his face?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: Getty. If you haven't read any interviews, like recent interviews
Speaker 1: of him, you really have to. He is so out
Speaker 1: to lunch, yeah, in a terrible way where like multiple
Speaker 1: generations of billionaire money have just made it impossible to
Speaker 1: be a real person. But he did fine in this
Speaker 1: one film, So just crazy crazy about that movie and
Speaker 1: then out of sight, I would submit is pretty much
Speaker 1: like a Rosetta stone for understanding the language of film.
Speaker 1: Not that Soderberg didn't break a whole lot of new
Speaker 1: ground with that film and the films he did leading
Speaker 1: up to it, but it's a wonderful sort of way
Speaker 1: to begin to understand film the way that he made that.
Speaker 1: Plus you can feel the kinetic energy of it and
Speaker 1: the camera work, and if you want to, you don't
Speaker 1: have to, because it's a totally wonderful, propulsive experience that
Speaker 1: pulls you right along. But if you want to think
Speaker 1: about how it was made, you can kind of see
Speaker 1: how the sausage was made. Like you can feel the camera,
Speaker 1: you can feel the quickness, you could feel it's like assemblage,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And the way that it
Speaker 1: plays with time, so it almost like shows its work
Speaker 1: in a way that rewards repeated viewings.
Speaker 4: Oh, so Outside is one of the sexiest films of
Speaker 4: all times.
Speaker 1: Oh it's just tremendous, tremendous.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love lest time with so much. And yeah,
Speaker 4: it's quite hard to get hold of it. It's one
Speaker 4: of his films. It's sort of got lost of base,
Speaker 4: brilliant Last Highway.
Speaker 1: I love it so much.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Okay, what's the worst film?
Speaker 1: Okay, so I mentioned Meet Joe Black earlier because I
Speaker 1: couldn't wait to talk about it. That was terrible. And
Speaker 1: of course there's like worse low budget films and student films,
Speaker 1: but with that kind of money, your film has to
Speaker 1: be good. So that's why I think, you know, higher
Speaker 1: stakes sometimes higher failures, And it could be this could
Speaker 1: be an example of how like I thought Spanish Prisoner
Speaker 1: was good in the cinema when I was young, and
Speaker 1: I saw recently as sucked. Maybe this film is good,
Speaker 1: but in the theater, I was like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: Was the End of Violence by Vim Venders? I just
Speaker 1: remember being Gabriel Byrne, Bill Pullman, Andy McDowell and Vim Venders, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, and I just remember being like, what, this
Speaker 1: is such a mess, and it had all this like
Speaker 1: philosophical voice over, and I just remember thinking, I think
Speaker 1: I've just seen the worst movie I've ever seen. I
Speaker 1: think I actually saw it in France. I lived in
Speaker 1: Paris in nineteen ninety seven and nineteen ninety eight, and yeah,
Speaker 1: I saw it in Paris. Paris is the best movie
Speaker 1: city in the world because they have all these repertory movies,
Speaker 1: so you can be like, oh, it'd be great if
Speaker 1: I could see Lost Highway at two fifty pm, you know,
Speaker 1: three miles across the city from me, and you probably can,
Speaker 1: and so yeah, but I remember seeing so many great
Speaker 1: movies and then just seeing that turd ball and being
Speaker 1: really turned off, and as such as a result, never
Speaker 1: investigating the world of m vendors after that. Who people
Speaker 1: love probably reason He's probably great, but that film is
Speaker 1: so bad that I was like, no, just shut the door.
Speaker 4: He's Anthony Hopkins. He's done, and at bad. You're in comedy.
Speaker 4: You're very good to hit. What's the film that makes
Speaker 4: you laughed the US?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so comedy, I don't know. There are lots of
Speaker 1: the good ones. But what made me laugh a lot
Speaker 1: recently is the Eurovision Song Contest Really Yeah, which has
Speaker 1: been not getting good reviews. I don't care. But what
Speaker 1: I liked about that movie was that, yes, it starred
Speaker 1: Will Ferrell, but in fact he has a lot less
Speaker 1: screen time than you'd think from a film build as
Speaker 1: a which he all also wrote, so I think he
Speaker 1: was quite generous with all the supporting performers. Rachel McAdams
Speaker 1: is amazing in it, and then Dan Stevens' performance is
Speaker 1: one for the ages. I could not get enough. Have
Speaker 1: you seen it yet? Okay? Yeah, So Dan Stevens as
Speaker 1: the Russian entrant into the Eurovision that they're following is
Speaker 1: truly out of this world. And it's funny because the
Speaker 1: only thing else that I've seen him in is Downton Abbey,
Speaker 1: and the first season of Downton Abbey, my wife and
Speaker 1: I snorted up like cocaine, couldn't possibly get enough of
Speaker 1: that glorified soap opera, really crazy about it, and then
Speaker 1: it sort of dropped off for me. Again, not a
Speaker 1: value judgment. If I don't like something, that doesn't mean
Speaker 1: it wasn't good. It just means it didn't speak to
Speaker 1: me personally. So he was like good in that as
Speaker 1: the romantic lead guy that one of the sisters fell in.
Speaker 1: You know, he's just like handsome and five, you know,
Speaker 1: But then in this he has comic chops that are deadly.
Speaker 1: All I can say is you and I would do
Speaker 1: well to spend a lot of time in the comedy
Speaker 1: gym before we prepared to meet him in a dark alley.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen stuff as funny, but not really.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen a funnier comedy performance. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's out of this world shit. And the film does
Speaker 1: move at a different pace than a lot of comedies,
Speaker 1: So I understand that it might cause consternation with some
Speaker 1: stupid reviewers, But.
Speaker 4: I love, always hate comedies. Comedies almost universally shipped on
Speaker 4: by critics. I think critics never get comedies. Yeah, I
Speaker 4: get it, and.
Speaker 1: It's always fun to see because some some serious actors
Speaker 1: have a hard time with comedy, you know, and I'll
Speaker 1: tell you this, Rachel McAdams and Dan Stevens have an
Speaker 1: easy time with it. So super impressed by them. Of Course,
Speaker 1: Will Ferrell's funny, that's no surprise, you know, we're used
Speaker 1: to him being amazing, but these guys hold their own,
Speaker 1: and that's just incredibly impressed. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know Dancy Eves. I've never met him, but I actually
Speaker 1: wrote him a message and was like, good God, you
Speaker 1: were amazing, like the way like an old man might
Speaker 1: do an old Hollywood thrown off a note. I dictated
Speaker 1: a mash note to my gal Friday, and you stole
Speaker 1: the show in Deadpool tea correct how much?
Speaker 5: Thank you?
Speaker 3: How?
Speaker 4: I mean, you really stole the show? Dep Two and
Speaker 4: it's really impressive as well, because.
Speaker 5: You're really not in it much. I mean, what are
Speaker 5: you in it for? But you're the thing that everyone remembers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sort of a like a vignette. Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: incredible fun, and I was shocked for such a big
Speaker 1: movie how nimble they were as a product. So, you know,
Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds is the is the driving force behind those films,
Speaker 1: you know, he co writes them with Rhet Reese and
Speaker 1: Paul Wernick, and then David Leech directed it. Even the
Speaker 1: studio twentieth Century Fox, he made it. Everybody there was
Speaker 1: just really like, hey, let's try this fun thing, you know.
Speaker 1: And so I was amazed how much it felt like
Speaker 1: being on the set of Catastrophe, like hey, let's give
Speaker 1: this a shot, you know, because some bigger films don't
Speaker 1: feel that way. You know, you're kind of slotting into
Speaker 1: something that they reverse engineered to include all these different
Speaker 1: set piece action scenes and whatever. But this was just great.
Speaker 1: They were like, yeah, let's have some fun. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: do you think it might be funny here? You know,
Speaker 1: And it's so collaborative and fun. I can't say enough
Speaker 1: positive stuff about everybody who made that movie. So yeah,
Speaker 1: just we had a lot of fun.
Speaker 5: Right, You've been amazing, and.
Speaker 1: Oh thanks, this has been great.
Speaker 4: Now. The thing is when you were having dinner with
Speaker 4: your family, you were eighty two years old, you were
Speaker 4: all there, You had a lovely tonight. You had the
Speaker 4: hostage in the basement. You were like, oh, you said
Speaker 4: to the family. Hate by the way, you just had
Speaker 4: an angel pasta and like Marina and nothing, nothing special.
Speaker 4: You were like, I need to get newspaper clipping so
Speaker 4: that we can cut out hostage. Known for the thing
Speaker 4: you walked outside, walked into the road, industrial size air
Speaker 4: conditioner on a cry and just being moved from one
Speaker 4: house to another, dropped, just dropped backs, then splattered, you pancaked.
Speaker 4: No one even knew you were that flat into the road.
Speaker 4: But I had a hunch because I remembered the podcast,
Speaker 4: and I went along and I was like, oh, and
Speaker 4: they moved the air conditioning and I was like, look at.
Speaker 5: The fucking statement. Basically, you were a road.
Speaker 4: So I then had to get a digger dig out
Speaker 4: the road around you. You were filled. You were half
Speaker 4: tarmac half man. So I had to chop up all
Speaker 4: the bits, stuffed it all in the coffin. But The
Speaker 4: thing is I brought a coffin that was your size.
Speaker 4: I hadn't brought a coffin that was you plus tarma,
Speaker 4: so yeah it was. You know, it was absolutely packed
Speaker 4: packed in there. There's really only enough room in this
Speaker 4: coffee for me to slip one DVD down the side
Speaker 4: for you to take to the other side. And on
