Speaker 1: Welcome back, James A. Caster. How are you? I'm good.
Speaker 1: I'm excited to be back. I didn't foresee it. How
Speaker 1: the heck are you very good? I'm excited. I've got
Speaker 1: all my answers to your questions for Judge? Am I
Speaker 1: the first judgment day? You listen? This is episode two hundred,
Speaker 1: which is a huge deal. You did the very first
Speaker 1: episode of Films to be Buried With and then you
Speaker 1: did the one hundredth episode of Films to be Buried
Speaker 1: With the Resurrection, and it only seems right there as
Speaker 1: I reached two hundred you should come back and what
Speaker 1: has happened is a whole new, a whole new, absolutely
Speaker 1: thrilling format. But first let's just check in because you know,
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with knowing about this side of you. You know,
Speaker 1: you're often considered the best stand up in the UK.
Speaker 1: Not my words, but the words of many, and yet
Speaker 1: hate stand up? Quit stand up? And now where on
Speaker 1: the street is? And every time I look at listing
Speaker 1: back to stand up? What's happened? How's it going? Are
Speaker 1: you okay? Well? Yeah, boy? I was doing some of
Speaker 1: this year? Is this year okay, yeah, yeah, loads of
Speaker 1: charity gigs. There's there's a lot of charity gigs, so
Speaker 1: I said yes to them, good boy. And then my
Speaker 1: friends have ordered a small tour of Scandinavia. Because I've
Speaker 1: never been on Scandinavia. I thought i'd do that. And
Speaker 1: because I did those, some other mates have offered me
Speaker 1: one off gigs and off I'll do that for a bit.
Speaker 1: So I just thought to see how it feels. How's
Speaker 1: it feeling? So fair fine, but I'm probably just going
Speaker 1: to do it until the end of this year, every
Speaker 1: now and again, and then not do next year. I
Speaker 1: reckon and stop, what are you doing? All new like stuff? Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I can't remember the old stuff. But mainly what
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do at the minute is to memory
Speaker 1: the stuff that I don't like about stand up because
Speaker 1: like I get really but get really wrapped up in
Speaker 1: being able to control it or not. And you know,
Speaker 1: because it's interesting me and you we started out a
Speaker 1: similar time. I started just after you, different career paths,
Speaker 1: and very proud of each other, I hope. I'm very
Speaker 1: very proud of you. And I've spoke to you recently
Speaker 1: about stand up and you've been like, mate, it's the
Speaker 1: best thing. Just hold on to that stand up man.
Speaker 1: No one can tell you what to do. You just
Speaker 1: get to go and stage. You be your own boss. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's the dream. I love it so much. And I
Speaker 1: was like, Bret never used to love stand up. I
Speaker 1: guess working in scripted to be the worst thing in
Speaker 1: the world if it's made him go like this. But
Speaker 1: then like, there's that thing, isn't it of control? So like,
Speaker 1: I think you enjoy stand up because you get to
Speaker 1: just have a one hundred percent control, or yet more
Speaker 1: control than you do maybe when you collaborating with a
Speaker 1: lot of people are making something. Now, it doesn't mean
Speaker 1: that one's better than the other, but you clearly a
Speaker 1: person who appreciates what both mediums have to offer. Now,
Speaker 1: I would say, for me stand up, I don't have
Speaker 1: enough control because the audience can do whatever they want.
Speaker 1: And then that really that's really wounded me up always.
Speaker 1: And so what I'm trying to do now is go
Speaker 1: accept the fact that what you want is never gonna happen.
Speaker 1: You're never gonna go on stage night after night, and
Speaker 1: they respond exactly the way you want them too. They
Speaker 1: don't talk to each other. They don't shout out, they
Speaker 1: don't go on their phones. Occasionally you might have that gig.
Speaker 1: But sometimes I've had those gigs. I'll go, yes, that
Speaker 1: was it, and then someone will come up to me
Speaker 1: and goes, oh, someone was talking behind me. The whole
Speaker 1: show couldn't hear, And I'm like, oh, I thought I
Speaker 1: had I thought I had the gig. I didn't have
Speaker 1: the gig. But and so I'm trying to let go
Speaker 1: at that, and I'm doing some solo shows. The only
Speaker 1: reason why I put solo shows in is to try
Speaker 1: and combat my fears by doing a exposure therapy and
Speaker 1: turning up to the gigs and telling the audience they're
Speaker 1: allowed to do whatever they like for the whole show.
Speaker 1: They don't have to shout out, they don't have to
Speaker 1: do anything like that. It's not it's not a heck demandatory.
Speaker 1: It's not here I am do your worst. Let's do
Speaker 1: this me versus you. It's just me saying at the top,
Speaker 1: you can do what you want and you won't get
Speaker 1: in trouble. I'm not gonna have a go at you
Speaker 1: little contract with the audience at the start, and then
Speaker 1: I kind of like do a show and sometimes people
Speaker 1: have heckled for the whole thing, and sometimes people have
Speaker 1: just sat there and listened. Sometimes loads of people have
Speaker 1: been on their phones during the show, or we're walking
Speaker 1: in and out the room or talking to each other.
Speaker 1: And I find that because I've made that contract at
Speaker 1: the beginning, it's fine. I don't get annoyed about it,
Speaker 1: and it feels like, oh, there's something in this. And
Speaker 1: if it wasn't as busy trying to get other things
Speaker 1: off the ground, I'd probably just do that every night
Speaker 1: and be like, let's explore this. There's something here. But
Speaker 1: as it is right now, I think it's maybe just
Speaker 1: this year. Well maybe I say this. I don't think
Speaker 1: that what I love about stand up is control. I
Speaker 1: think that's not the way I see it at all.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure there's a part of it that
Speaker 1: is in terms of control, in terms of you're in
Speaker 1: control of what you're putting out and you don't have
Speaker 1: to compromise or discuss with people your material, you can
Speaker 1: just do it. That is control. But stand up, I
Speaker 1: see is like freedom. It's like, I hate to say
Speaker 1: this because I sound like an absolute fucking dickhead, but
Speaker 1: it's more like surfing because you have no control. You're right,
Speaker 1: you don't know what's going to happen. The other night,
Speaker 1: I had ad a mad gig in Kingston, this fucking
Speaker 1: guy joining it. It was insane, but it wasn't. I
Speaker 1: wasn't like, hey, I'm trying to do this thing and
Speaker 1: you're running this thing. It was like, oh, okay, we're
Speaker 1: going this way now. It's like being in the moment
Speaker 1: and trying to just have fun with the wave that
Speaker 1: is currently in front. It's the closest I get to
Speaker 1: being sort of Zen's like, okay, well this is the thing,
Speaker 1: so what's this thing? Just like, let's have fun with
Speaker 1: whatever this thing is. Because I don't have control over it,
Speaker 1: all I can do is try and have some fun
Speaker 1: with it. Whereas the other things that I do don't
Speaker 1: quite work like that because you have to you have
Speaker 1: to edit it. You have to make it into a
Speaker 1: thing where it stand ups like, I don't know what
Speaker 1: it is. It could be anything that night, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Well, I see, I'll see what's happening here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well it depends what your main thing is, right, so whatever.
Speaker 1: We comedians like to do a lot of different things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and when you've got your main thing, you really want
Speaker 1: that to be good. And that's where the anxiety is
Speaker 1: and the pressure is, this has to be great. I've
Speaker 1: got a thing that everything like that. Everyone likes this thing, right,
Speaker 1: I've got to make this thing good, and then everything
Speaker 1: else is like, oh this is a laugh, So it
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be good. Yeah, yeah, you're gonna stand
Speaker 1: up like Cowabunga. You know, this is I love it.
Speaker 1: This is just you know, going to play and squash
Speaker 1: with my friend after work and then you know, probably
Speaker 1: the same way that I you know, I'm record podcasting
Speaker 1: as podcasting with my friend Peed Pambles and were like,
Speaker 1: h it was fun and and then I've got to
Speaker 1: do like you know, stand up and gone, James, You've gone.
Speaker 1: You've gotta show them, You've gotta show them your number
Speaker 1: one um. And actually what's been nice is coming back
Speaker 1: and not doing that and going no, no, I don't
Speaker 1: have to be immaculate. This doesn't have to be the
Speaker 1: perfect thing. Also, I mean, you know, I want to
Speaker 1: try and get better in any field, whatever it is
Speaker 1: I'm doing, I'll go, well, what's how can you improve
Speaker 1: on this? And you know it was stand up I'm like,
Speaker 1: the main thing that you're really mad at in stand
Speaker 1: up is just being relaxed in the moment and doing
Speaker 1: the gear and not shouting at a bunch of people
Speaker 1: who have paid to see you. So let's if you're
Speaker 1: if you're going to go back to that and maybe
Speaker 1: even spend the rest of your life doing it, you
Speaker 1: might want to sort that out first before you do
Speaker 1: anything else. So it's like, this is the thing that
Speaker 1: your shit is starting at comedy, so let's work on that.
Speaker 1: But absolutely fascinating, fascinating. Well, I'm excited, listen. I'm excited
Speaker 1: that you're doing gigs again. Even though I don't know
Speaker 1: if I've said this on a podcast, but you're the
Speaker 1: good Will Hunting of stand up. You're the you know,
Speaker 1: you're this mass genius who doesn't appreciate that he's the
Speaker 1: maths genius. And I'm ben affleck on the building side again.
Speaker 1: If you're not doing standoff and you're still there on
Speaker 1: the building side with me just doing podcasts, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be fucking furious and we ain't gonna be friends anymore.
Speaker 1: My lad aren't of a zoom Carl. I hope you
Speaker 1: don't show up that's the best part of my day.
Speaker 1: To Boston. Accent really good, you're very good accents. You
Speaker 1: get everything. Get in the car, James A. Casta. You
Speaker 1: have died, yes and again, but don't worry. So has everyone.
Speaker 1: Why because it's Judgment Day. Judgment Day is here. Finally,
Speaker 1: Judgment Day. You stand on the precipice between heaven and hell.
Speaker 1: For me to decide where you go, you must first
Speaker 1: tell me the very best and very worst thing that
Speaker 1: you did in this lifetime and answer some questions about film.
Speaker 1: But first let's hear the best and worst thing you
Speaker 1: think you did in this lifetime. Oh Jesus, A big question. Yeah,
Speaker 1: to just throw a person? Yeah, but I do know
Speaker 1: the answer. Absolutely. The best best thing I've ever done
Speaker 1: is um. I made a particularly good batch of treats
Speaker 1: a broccoli pasta the other day, probably the best I've
Speaker 1: ever made. Um. So that's the best thing I've ever done.
Speaker 1: Best thing. The best thing you've ever done is carbs. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: of course you would think immediately categorize it into into carbs. Okay,
Speaker 1: very mind. Who was in charge of judgment David? Okay,
Speaker 1: that's that's your This is the best thing okay, anti
Speaker 1: because anti Carb Goldstein, as it is in charge of
Speaker 1: judgment day, I'm not going to hell depends. The worst
Speaker 1: thing you did was make someone eat that past that
Speaker 1: we've both freeliate it. We loved it. And then probably
Speaker 1: the worst thing I've ever done. Some people felt that
Speaker 1: me and Ed bullied you too much when we did
Speaker 1: the last Man used to be buried with? Did they? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's I don't know what that says about. I don't
Speaker 1: think we were bullying you that. Even if you did,
Speaker 1: and I genuinely have no recollection, I didn't think about
Speaker 1: it for a second afterwards. No, because we weren't bullied.
Speaker 1: It was all a bit of fun. And also you
Speaker 1: were saying loads of stuff about us. But the differences
Speaker 1: afterwards you asked for your stuff to be cucked. It
Speaker 1: was generally out of order. That's really funny. That's like
Speaker 1: me and you going on roast battle and I make
Speaker 1: the cut all my roast jokes and it's just like glad, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just horrible. Breakastood there me laying into you. Jesus
Speaker 1: Breadchast stood there and looked sad, and then the show ended.
Speaker 1: So weird. Okay, So that's the worst thing you did.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're pretty we'll see. We'll see what I
Speaker 1: got to say as as person in charge of judgment
Speaker 1: day so far undecided. They're both pretty minimal things, so
Speaker 1: neither the probably cancel each other. Rats, you're still balancing,
Speaker 1: so let's see how you get on with the film questions. Now,
Speaker 1: Really to get into Heaven or Hell kind of depends
Speaker 1: on these next questions. Okay, Okay, yeah, I think that's fair.
Speaker 1: I think this is this format works. What is the
Speaker 1: fa film that you saw, James Acasta when you were
Speaker 1: too young to see it that affected you the most?
Speaker 1: I would say, because it's the first film that I
Speaker 1: remember seeing when I was too young to see it.
Speaker 1: And I wasn't like massively too young, but definitely in
Speaker 1: my house Bread, we weren't allowed to watch any films
Speaker 1: that were, you know, not appropriate certificate wise. So the
Speaker 1: first time I saw a film that was like a
Speaker 1: little bit too old for me was when I was
Speaker 1: one of my friend's house, Steven's house, and he put
Speaker 1: on Drop Dead Fred and it was like a film
Speaker 1: that obviously I could understand because it was all like
Speaker 1: it was about you know, imaginary friends and whatever. It
Speaker 1: was quite childish in a way, and Rick Mayles, you know,
Speaker 1: the way that he was was very Kids could understand
Speaker 1: why it was funny, but there were swears in it,
Speaker 1: and I remember being like like for ages. So I
Speaker 1: think there's a bit right at the beginning where the
Speaker 1: little girl swears because dropped dead fred Tatter swear word
Speaker 1: and I really fought for a long time our man
Speaker 1: had come leave. I watched that film. I can't believe
Speaker 1: I watched it in The little girl swore and it
Speaker 1: really stopped me for a long time. And then you know,
Speaker 1: Rick Mayle's comedy stopped me for a long time as well.
Speaker 1: I remember seeing that early on, and I can definitely
Speaker 1: there were sometimes when I do bits of stand upon whatever,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you're leading a bit, a little bit
Speaker 1: into Rick mail sometimes, yes, I see that, especially drop
Speaker 1: dead Frederick Mayel we ever talked about on the podcast
Speaker 1: we have in real life. The first gig we did together,
Speaker 1: I used to run an open mic gig called funny
Speaker 1: How Yes, and James a Caster came down to do it,
Speaker 1: and I always remember that what happened was you were
Speaker 1: very Rick Mayle esque. You did you did your excellent
Speaker 1: stand up, but in the middle of it. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a fucking weird gig, a pup that usually had
Speaker 1: about four people in the audience, and a man fell
Speaker 1: asleep in the front row. One of the four people
Speaker 1: in the audience fell asleep, and you leaped towards him
Speaker 1: with the mic in your hand and clapped back to
Speaker 1: make in his face yea, to wake him up, and
Speaker 1: then just carriage out. I do you remember that I
Speaker 1: was eating popcorn? Was I think you have some popcorn
Speaker 1: on his lap? That's in my memory. My memory had popcorn, Yeah,
Speaker 1: a popcorn and then fell to sleep in the middle
Speaker 1: of your five minutes set. Yeah, you wake him up
Speaker 1: with the make also the listeners for the listeners. That's
Speaker 1: the first time I met Brett and I had turned
Speaker 1: up and I was not on the billy and I
Speaker 1: turned up just chancing my luck trying to get on,
Speaker 1: and Brett said perfectly reasonable, said I'm sorry. You know,
Speaker 1: I've got the lineup sorted for tonight, and you know,
Speaker 1: probably was thinking, plus I don't know you and you
Speaker 1: could be shipped, and you know I was. I just
Speaker 1: started out, so I was pretty ship and then I
Speaker 1: went but I've coupled the way from Catherine and I
Speaker 1: got to go home on the train and it's an
Speaker 1: hour and you were like, oh, okay, it put me on.
Speaker 1: So it's true. That's true. Our friendship started, well, so
Speaker 1: that's any to know each other started with anyone's trying
Speaker 1: to get Yeah, well yeah, I think I was like
Speaker 1: that Rick male dude. It was weird. But then we
Speaker 1: had a gig in a hut at the end of
Speaker 1: the garden somewhere that was really fucking racist. If we
Speaker 1: did a racist gig. We did a racist gig at
Speaker 1: the Bottle of Guys. You remember that terrifying much of
Speaker 1: a We weren't hired as racist, the audience were racist,
Speaker 1: and we both we both had to deal with that
Speaker 1: one stage. Fascinating. Then we were friends after that when
Speaker 1: would have been for a real But anyway, a little
Speaker 1: tip for any open mag is trying to get on
Speaker 1: lie about how far you've come to get there, and
Speaker 1: see if if you could play one character in a film,
Speaker 1: which one would it be? James A. Custer, Napoleon Dynamites.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you'd be good. I love the Poleon Dynamite,
Speaker 1: massive soft spot for it. I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: still got that cult status when we when it first
Speaker 1: came out, me and normal mates are watching it and
Speaker 1: talking about it and quoting it. And then the guy
Speaker 1: who made it didn't really do much after that. I
Speaker 1: think he did the Jack Black film and it didn't
Speaker 1: really do that well. The Natural Libra one, even though
Speaker 1: it sounded like an absolute slam dunk. It's like he's
Speaker 1: just made the Polian Dynamite and now he's making a
Speaker 1: film where Jack Black plays a monk who wants to
Speaker 1: become a wrestler. Are you're thinking that sounds great? But
Speaker 1: actually you know, oh, when some people ask what's Napoleon
Speaker 1: Dynamite about, you go spout the Poland Dynamite. It's not
Speaker 1: really about it. If it's about a character and you
Speaker 1: just see I mean he just leads up to the
Speaker 1: go to the school dance and doing his dance, that's
Speaker 1: kind of it. It's not like there's a whole story,
Speaker 1: there's a storyline. I never gard about it. So then,
Speaker 1: really I think Natural Libra the best stake there was.
Speaker 1: I've got a storyline for this one. It's like, no, no,
Speaker 1: I don't do that. Don't don't have a storyline. The
Speaker 1: mistake was cut. Yeah, right, you should have just had
Speaker 1: a film where Jack Black as a wrestler or Jack
Speaker 1: Black as a monk. But I think the wrestler would
Speaker 1: have been a better one. Um. But I loved Napoleon Dynamite.
Speaker 1: I thought that the character was amazing and I can't
Speaker 1: remember the name of the actor. He had a few
Speaker 1: roles after that. I remember really enjoying Blades of Glory,
Speaker 1: But in general you kind of go, that's all you needed. Man,
Speaker 1: You did Napoleon Dynamite and you were mortal now because
Speaker 1: that's it was. It's one of the great cinematic roles.
Speaker 1: And I would love that. I would love to just
Speaker 1: I have enough of well, I have enough complish in
Speaker 1: my acting to be like, yeah, I reckon, I'll be
Speaker 1: able to get loads of bites at this cherry and
Speaker 1: loads of different No. No, I think I've got a fluke.
Speaker 1: Get one role that is the absolute, yeah, an absolute
Speaker 1: humming like that one. Nail it and then like that's
Speaker 1: all I need, and then do one Will Ferrell film
Speaker 1: and then yeah and go go quiet. You get to
Speaker 1: do a Will fall film. You're John Header, Okay, John Header. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what that's what I'd like to I'd like to
Speaker 1: be a Napoleon Dynamite. It was a toss up between
Speaker 1: even though the person who did this other role has
Speaker 1: gone on to be huge, but it was a toss
Speaker 1: up between and because it's the same era for me,
Speaker 1: you're probably a Dynamite or Johnnie Darko. That was the
Speaker 1: That was the toss up because I was like, I'd
Speaker 1: be cool to be in one of those type of
Speaker 1: films that were like, I just want to be like
Speaker 1: the titular character in a cult classic. Okay, Okay, that
Speaker 1: is a fair fucking dream to have the titch in
Speaker 1: the character in a cup classic. Okay, super Bowl. There
Speaker 1: you go like, you don't know what I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: but you but your Napoleon Dynamite that's said mash up
Speaker 1: you is a Napoleon Dynamite and Buddy Cup film. You'd
Speaker 1: be good. Bunny dark I think if they remake Donnie Darko, which,
Speaker 1: let's face it, the remaking everything these days, so it's
Speaker 1: not off the cards. Make a Donnie Darko TV series, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd cast you was Donnie and it's like Donnie's grown up,
Speaker 1: which would then really really make people think, what hold on?
Speaker 1: What happened at the end of the film if he's
Speaker 1: grown up now, Yeah, I'm not sure I understood at
Speaker 1: the time. Down welcome to you. Yeah, what is the
Speaker 1: worst date slash time you've ever had a film? This
Speaker 1: is the hardest one, okay, because I've not really had
Speaker 1: many like times were gone the cinema on a date.
Speaker 1: I think you only really make those mistakes really when
Speaker 1: you're in early on in your dating career, when you're
Speaker 1: you know, late teens, early twenties, whatever. That's just me.
Speaker 1: Other people might have been dating a lot earlier than that.
Speaker 1: But like I'll be like, let's go to the certainly
Speaker 1: made out. You certainly made up for the last time,
Speaker 1: thank you Brooks. But like you'd be sitting there at
Speaker 1: the cinema thinking, why have I? Why have I suggested
Speaker 1: we come here? We're not even talking to each other,
Speaker 1: And then you just don't make those mistakes anymore. So,
Speaker 1: you know, there was stuff like Day After Tomorrow. I
Speaker 1: remember going to see on It on a date when
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, late teens. I actually went
Speaker 1: on a date to see The Breakup the Vince Law
Speaker 1: and Jennifer Anderston film. First date, going to see the breakup,
Speaker 1: even thinking to myself while watching it, this is gonna
Speaker 1: be a great story when we're married. So the first
Speaker 1: thing we saw together them was the breakup. But I
Speaker 1: didn't really you know, I didn't like this or I
Speaker 1: didn't hate them. It wasn't a bad experience. I thought
Speaker 1: about saying Snowtown, because that was that was me and
Speaker 1: you're going to see that. But I didn't hate that film.
Speaker 1: It was you hating it. And then you leave them
Speaker 1: with PTSD and met us being like, oh, that's thought.
Speaker 1: It's quite a well made film about a horrible thing.
Speaker 1: Um that film, Yeah, it really really affected you in
Speaker 1: a bad way, I would say. So I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: go by like the relationship I'm in now and the
Speaker 1: worst film we went to see together, just like it
Speaker 1: was early on in the relationship. I remember being angry
Speaker 1: that we've seen it for it was such a long
Speaker 1: film and at the time actually still now I love
Speaker 1: you know. I was like, I just started seeing this person.
Speaker 1: All I wanted to do was be around her, talk
Speaker 1: to her. And now this fucking film is getting in
Speaker 1: the way, and we're sitting here and this is three
Speaker 1: hours fucking long. I just want to talk to her,
Speaker 1: and this is bullshit. That film was Once upon a
Speaker 1: Time in Hollywood, which could absolutely I think it's his
Speaker 1: worst film. I hate it. I think it's shit. I
Speaker 1: think that everyone who likes it is an idiot. It's
Speaker 1: one of the only films I feel that way about
Speaker 1: most things. You go out subjective and with that when
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, you're wrong. It's bad. It's bad.
Speaker 1: By his own rules, it's bad. And it's like it's
Speaker 1: it's it's like he doesn't know why his previous films
Speaker 1: were good and why they worked. That's what annoys me
Speaker 1: about it. His rules. We're not rules, but like it's
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, sometimes like people make something it
Speaker 1: could be anything, a stand up show, book, whatever, and
Speaker 1: they organically discover it and they make this thing and
Speaker 1: they really engage with it and it's great, and then
Speaker 1: they try and replicate it and they just replicate us
Speaker 1: on the surface without thinking about why they made all
Speaker 1: those decisions in the first place. And I was watching
Speaker 1: God Dawnwards upon a Time in Hollywood, and most people
Speaker 1: complain with that film about the acting stuff, about all
Speaker 1: the him being an actor and him being on set
Speaker 1: doing the scenes and they're like, oh, that bits so
Speaker 1: slow and blah blah blah. I like those bits. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that should have been the film.
Speaker 1: The film should have been this guy is a struggling
Speaker 1: actor and his relationship with a stuntman and just them
Speaker 1: on sets and then talking to different actors and just
Speaker 1: do that film. But it said. He's like, no, God,
Speaker 1: I did Inglorious Basses and Jango Unchanged, which I've bought fought,
Speaker 1: were both great, and he's like, I've got to do
Speaker 1: that again. Well, I'm doing a Hollywood film, so I
Speaker 1: got to do a Hollywood one. Oh there was the
Speaker 1: Manson Family. I'll do that now. Look that's fine if
Speaker 1: you want to do that, do that. But no punintended here.
Speaker 1: The execution was absolutely atrocious. Here's why, Bradley, Here's why,
Speaker 1: and I am angry about it. I'm still angry about
Speaker 1: it to this day because every time I hear people
Speaker 1: go on about it being brilliant, it really makes me angry.
Speaker 1: In Inglorious Bastards and in Jango Unchained, yes, even though
Speaker 1: he doesn't need to, he shows you why the bad
Speaker 1: guys are bad. He doesn't really need to show you
Speaker 1: why the Nazis are bad. We all know that. He
Speaker 1: doesn't really need to show you why slave owners are bad,
Speaker 1: but he does it, and he goes just so you
Speaker 1: know the pieces of shit and not just the group,
Speaker 1: but the specific characters were dealing. We have in the
Speaker 1: film are bad people, and here's them doing bad things,
Speaker 1: and here's why you should hate them. So you're like,
Speaker 1: right now, he doesn't need to do that with those
Speaker 1: films because they're two of the biggest bad groups in history,
Speaker 1: so we already know that going in. But then he
Speaker 1: does this. One is the Manson family, which not everyone
Speaker 1: knows about, right. I know they did some bad shit.
Speaker 1: I don't know all the details of it. I know
Speaker 1: they're not good, but they're not as notorious, I'm going
Speaker 1: to say as Nazisans and slave owners. Those people have
Speaker 1: been heavily discussed. We know that they're the worst people ever.
Speaker 1: And then the Manson family, it's like, oh did they
Speaker 1: do again? One? And then in this film all the
Speaker 1: shows you is they're a bunch of dirty hippies. So
Speaker 1: he doesn't like that, and Brad Pitt goes onto the
Speaker 1: ranch and at nine point on the ranch, do any
Speaker 1: of them do anything bad? They're all hanging around, hanging out,
Speaker 1: and he doesn't like it. Brad Pitt's like, I don't
Speaker 1: like this fucking by Jeff fucking hippies. And he's walking
Speaker 1: around and he's saying to them, like the fuck you
Speaker 1: doing on this ranch? And they're like, the guys that
Speaker 1: we could be here, doubt it, just doesn't believe them.
Speaker 1: Then he goes in and the guys like, yeah I did,
Speaker 1: actually I did say they could be of Bruce den
Speaker 1: I's like oh, And then brad Pitt goes out and
Speaker 1: one of them put a knife in his tire. Because
Speaker 1: fair enough, because as far as we're concerned as the audience,
Speaker 1: if you didn't tell them it's a Manson family, I'll
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, yeah, they're just the guy's are allowing
Speaker 1: them to hang out on the ranch. Big old Brad Pitt.
Speaker 1: It seems like a Tory, by the way, has decide also,
Speaker 1: who may have murdered his wife will get under that
Speaker 1: in a minute. He's decided he doesn't like him, he's
Speaker 1: been proved wrong that they are allowed to be in there.
Speaker 1: So one of them's gone, go fuck yourself, and then
Speaker 1: he beats them up. It's so violently it's knocks their
Speaker 1: teeth out of some ship drives away and you're made
Speaker 1: to go, yeah, good on you. And like at one point,
Speaker 1: like one of them, like you know, goes to get
Speaker 1: the person who's on who's on a little horse ride.
Speaker 1: He goes, he's beat it up our friend and he
Speaker 1: gets back on his horse. He's there too late because
Speaker 1: Brad Pitt's driven away. So I've not been told why
Speaker 1: any of these people are asshole ship. And at one
Speaker 1: point Manson has shown up at the house and just
Speaker 1: looked at shot Sharon Tate. Yes, he just looked at
Speaker 1: her and that's it. Yeah, they haven't shown you anything
Speaker 1: else has happened there, even though we know what happened
Speaker 1: there in real life. But like it just has a
Speaker 1: little look and he goes up. So they're not they're
Speaker 1: not doing it in nearly anywhere near as much as
Speaker 1: they did with the bad guys in those other films
Speaker 1: and Baron in mind. Yeah, with Sharon Tate, obviously she's
Speaker 1: not in it enough. Margaret Robbie's not given enough to do.
Speaker 1: And you know she is the real life person in
Speaker 1: it who was the victim in real life. So like
Speaker 1: they're not really doing her any kind sort that they're
Speaker 1: doing her a massive disservice throughout the film. Also, you
Speaker 1: know you're doing her any favors. Yeah, no, not doing
Speaker 1: her any favors. Actually, And Brad Pitt, main character, main goodie,
Speaker 1: who was supposed to think is awesome, there's this whole
Speaker 1: thing of like he may have murdered his wife, and
Speaker 1: they they pretty much make it that he did. He
Speaker 1: pretty did it. Harpooned do and I just see it
Speaker 1: and she's fucking dead, and uh, that's so that's like, sorry, sorry, sorry, Quentin,
Speaker 1: you're good guy in this film? Is a guy who
Speaker 1: killed a woman? Is it? That's that? That that that's goody?
Speaker 1: And also at one point he's on set and Kurt Russells,
Speaker 1: They're going, I'm sorry my nagging wife Zoe Bell. She
Speaker 1: just such a nag because she's popping nag. She's such
Speaker 1: a naw. She doesn't like you being on set because
Speaker 1: you killed your wife. So she's a knack. So so
Speaker 1: fuck women all the way through it. At the end
Speaker 1: when they do the whole you know, spoiler alert, you
Speaker 1: haven't seen the end of once ut the time in Hollywood,
Speaker 1: but they give you three characters, two of whom you've
Speaker 1: not seen before. Of the Munson family, one of whom
Speaker 1: you have. But it was just the nice guy who
Speaker 1: was riding a horse early on when his defenders mate.
Speaker 1: So none of them have done anything wrong yet they're
Speaker 1: in the car, they're planning, Okay, we're going to go
Speaker 1: in and they're kind of planning the murder. But again,
Speaker 1: like you don't merely know these people. You've not seen
Speaker 1: most of them for the whole film. And then they
Speaker 1: walk into the house like, Okay, we're going to do it,
Speaker 1: and then they change their mind at the last minute
Speaker 1: and go and actually, let's go in this house and
Speaker 1: do it there. So people, the characters in this film
Speaker 1: aren't even gonna go in there. They decide instead to
Speaker 1: go in there. So they even decide they even go
Speaker 1: in the house because they decide we're going to go
Speaker 1: in there. They go in a DiCaprio's house and there's
Speaker 1: two women and one man, and the man gets bitten
Speaker 1: by a doggie and the women get absolutely turned to patty.
Speaker 1: It's it's some of the most violent stuff I've ever
Speaker 1: seen in a Tarantino film. One gets absolutely burnt to deaf,
Speaker 1: and a swimming pool he ever, gets her face repeatedly
Speaker 1: smash into a coffee table until it's a pulp and
Speaker 1: there's nothing left. And that is how he deals with, Yeah,
Speaker 1: fuck you for killing Sharon Tate. I'm now going to
Speaker 1: absolutely just horrifically butcher two women who you have not
Speaker 1: got to know. Throughout the film, you've not seen them
Speaker 1: do anything. They've done nothing, so you've not even said
Speaker 1: I haven't done it, like like I did with the
Speaker 1: Nazis when I wanted you to see why they were bad.
Speaker 1: With these two, they're just all you need to know
Speaker 1: is there were two women who might have gone in
Speaker 1: a house and that's it. And now we we've done
Speaker 1: this to them. And at the end, when Brad Pitt's
Speaker 1: characters getting in that ambulance, DiCaprio's like, you're a good man.
Speaker 1: That's like the line, and then he goes away and
Speaker 1: then everyone's like, what a great film. It's like, No,
Speaker 1: that is abhorrent. And I was absolutely furious by the
Speaker 1: end of it. And it was the most angry I've
Speaker 1: come out of a film when I've been on a date. Luckily,
Speaker 1: my girlfriend was also angry about it. We got to
Speaker 1: both round about it together. And be like, dah, what
Speaker 1: the fuck, But like, I hate that people like it,
Speaker 1: And also I don't even hate I hate that people
Speaker 1: like it, but I also I hate it when people
Speaker 1: aren't angry about it, when people just go no, it's
Speaker 1: all right, no, no, no, you should be furious about
Speaker 1: that film. You should be absolutely livid about that shit.
Speaker 1: Everything that people have said to Tarantino over the years
Speaker 1: about the violence in his films that I just think
Speaker 1: is like, oh, often it's like tory nonsense having a
Speaker 1: go at him. Sometimes with this it's like, no, no,
Speaker 1: this is this is the thing. This is what they
Speaker 1: should be angry about. Is this piece of shit? And
Speaker 1: then never mind beating up Bruce Lee and humiliating him
Speaker 1: in it, which was the main thing people are angry
Speaker 1: about apparently online, which I mean, absolutely be angry about that,
Speaker 1: but there's a whole bunch of other stuff in that
Speaker 1: film that I was like, people are not gonna be
Speaker 1: angry about that. You're really burying the lead with the
Speaker 1: Bruce least. Yeah, what if you could live in the
Speaker 1: world of one film, which would it be fair enough?
Speaker 1: I would done with that bit. Now I would say,
Speaker 1: this might seem like if you're about the same words
Speaker 1: the time. But then I would help the Manson family
Speaker 1: kill Leonardo DiCaprio, and you could live in the world
Speaker 1: of one film, which would it be. This is going
Speaker 1: to seem like a stupid answer, and it's even going
Speaker 1: to seem like the wrong answer, But I honestly would
Speaker 1: like to do this groundhole day interesting go on. I
Speaker 1: would just like that. I would like to do that.
Speaker 1: I would like to as long as I knew that
Speaker 1: it was gonna it was going to repeat over and
Speaker 1: over again. Yeah, and at some point it would come
Speaker 1: out of it. But as long as I kind of
Speaker 1: didn't just completely lose my mind and go in sane,
Speaker 1: which is what would happen in real life if that
Speaker 1: happened to you, You mind, you don't unravel. But why, Okay,
Speaker 1: you're in Grundog day. You know Gruandog day. You know that,
Speaker 1: you know what that world entails. What are you doing
Speaker 1: on your what's your best day in grund Dog day? Well,
Speaker 1: I just I just think I just do a lot
Speaker 1: of exploring because like you know, when he's in the
Speaker 1: car with the two drunk guys and they just say
Speaker 1: no consequences because of though tomorrow who do what you want.
Speaker 1: So I think I would just be like, right, well,
Speaker 1: this is just going to go on forever, so today,
Speaker 1: let's go to this place and say and I think
Speaker 1: I would just try a different thing you every day
Speaker 1: and then start putting things together and being like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: I know that this happens over here, and actually I
Speaker 1: could use that to my advantage over over this place.
Speaker 1: I would do stuff like I'd definitely do a robbery
Speaker 1: at some point and get away, but in a way
Speaker 1: that it's like completely victimleist the way that I do it,
Speaker 1: you know, so that I'm able to just tight that
Speaker 1: when he times it, when those two people like drop
Speaker 1: the coins and then he just goes and robs that van,
Speaker 1: and he all he has to do is walk past
Speaker 1: at the right time and pick up the bag and
Speaker 1: carry on walk. That looks great. I'd love to do that.
Speaker 1: All that stuff I wouldn't do, the whole you know,
Speaker 1: tricking people to fall in love with me. Stuff you
Speaker 1: wouldn't need. You wouldn't need to trick anywhere. And James, no,
Speaker 1: thank you, Bret. But like, yeah, I mean that that
Speaker 1: bit of the film was a bit sinister, but like
Speaker 1: the rest of it. I would. I would like very
Speaker 1: much to do that, and it might be that eventually,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe i'd you know, think I'll go completely mad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I really want this day to stop repeated. Who would
Speaker 1: you be? You know, I'm assuming at some point years
Speaker 1: in you'd you'd be lonely and want maybe a girlfriend.
Speaker 1: So who would you be trying to go out with?
Speaker 1: Not in a sinister way, just getting to know them
Speaker 1: straight up contentually in grand have day so in so
Speaker 1: hold on you know everyone that lives there. So when
Speaker 1: you say the world of the film, I have to
Speaker 1: be there in Punk's attorney. Yeah, you're where did you
Speaker 1: think you were? I thought it's like the world like
Speaker 1: my life here in you a loop? No you haven't.
Speaker 1: You picked the time loop, but you picked Fox Tuity. Okay,
Speaker 1: who would I try and fall in love with? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean not not not Andy McDowell actually, because I
Speaker 1: don't really get one. If I don't get upon rewatching
Speaker 1: with that with that film is why he falls it.
Speaker 1: Why he fans like, I don't really get anything that's
Speaker 1: like that, this very cynical man. It makes more sense
Speaker 1: at the beginning when he's like fuck her and he
Speaker 1: just doesn't like it. He's really rude to her. That
Speaker 1: makes more sense for that character that he would see
Speaker 1: this like actually quite optimistic, you know, nice person and
Speaker 1: go no, thank you. And it's just weird that at
Speaker 1: one point he decides I'm going to make her fall
Speaker 1: in love with me, and I don't really explain why
Speaker 1: in the film. I mean, really, my favorite my favorite
Speaker 1: character in it is a is the cameraman. Okay, Chris Elliot, Okay,
Speaker 1: Chris Elliott. Yeah, you're going to fall another cabin boy.
Speaker 1: That makes sense. Yeah, is great. It is funny in
Speaker 1: all the films I've seen them in. You know, I
Speaker 1: haven't seen There's Something about Mary in a long time,
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty sure that if I did see it again,
Speaker 1: there'll be a lot of stuff I don't approve of
Speaker 1: in it. But like I remember thinking he was good
Speaker 1: at it. Okay, that's an excellent answer. What is your
Speaker 1: favorite children's film? I've got it down to three. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I've got it down to you know, I really
Speaker 1: love Pixar films. Yeah, and my favorite Pixar film is Coco.
Speaker 1: Excellent choice. So I was just gonna say Coco because
Speaker 1: I was just like, you know, I love Pixar, so
Speaker 1: if I look at the whole all of the Pixar films,
Speaker 1: that's my favorite one. So that's my favorite kids film.
Speaker 1: But then when I was trying to jog my memory
Speaker 1: about some other categories, I was looking on the internet
Speaker 1: and I saw two other films are like, oh shit,
Speaker 1: I maybe love them more than like in terms of like,
Speaker 1: so Paddington two, yes, and School of rock Oh. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: you know School of Rocky is one of my top ten. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. And it's funny. I would never have thought
Speaker 1: of it as a kids film. I suppose it is.
Speaker 1: I watched it with my nephews recently and it was
Speaker 1: one of the most exciting things. They're both in primary school.
Speaker 1: I was really excited to watch it with them that
Speaker 1: they watched the first time. They loved it. But also
Speaker 1: the oldest one, he's nine, and he very much likes
Speaker 1: things to be done in life. He wants things to
Speaker 1: be done the right way. He's a big, big fan
Speaker 1: of following the rules. That's your boy. He was so
Speaker 1: stressed out watching School of Rockley. He kept me going,
Speaker 1: this man is an idiot. Oh no, can't you see
Speaker 1: he's ruin so many people's lives. It's gonna the police
Speaker 1: are gonna come, it's gonna be in so much trouble,
Speaker 1: Uncle James. I can't well, I'm so I'm so stressed out.
Speaker 1: And then at the end he was so happy where
Speaker 1: it ended up and he was like, you wake to
Speaker 1: watch it again. So yeah, it's completely I remember seeing
Speaker 1: Jack Blackdoer speech about it saying like, you know, when
Speaker 1: I think that the premier there, so it's on the
Speaker 1: DVD actual or something of him saying we wanted to
Speaker 1: make a kids film that was like kids films used
Speaker 1: to be when kids films were good. So out of
Speaker 1: the three of those, I would say that School of
Speaker 1: Rock is my favorite. Okay, I think Paddington two is
Speaker 1: also a perfect film. Yeah, I just think, you know,
Speaker 1: the School of Rock is just like absolutely it's it's
Speaker 1: it's a perfect film, and it's just in terms of
Speaker 1: messaging and what I like, it's just aims aimed at
Speaker 1: me one hundred percent. And then Coco is my favorite
Speaker 1: film of my you know, favorite production company you make
Speaker 1: kids films, so you know, really good. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: a really good three. I'm going to go with School
Speaker 1: of Rock because of the experience you had with your nephew.
Speaker 1: He is absolutely definitely an acoster. Yes, that's lovely, very lovely.
Speaker 1: What is the film that you didn't think you would
Speaker 1: like that you ended up loving now? I I think
Speaker 1: this is the only answer for this for everyone should have,
Speaker 1: because I don't think anyone saw. When I saw the
Speaker 1: poster for this film, I thought, oh, they're making the
Speaker 1: worst film ever. Congratulations, they're making the worst film ever.
Speaker 1: What a bunch of idiots, bad luck guys. And then
Speaker 1: I saw it and I thought, that's one of the
Speaker 1: best films I've ever seen. I refer, of course, to
Speaker 1: the Lego movie. Really good answer, what's a clever boy?
Speaker 1: That's a really good answer. Of course, we forget the
Speaker 1: Lego movie. Yeah, and it's stupid awful A cash hint, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what a fucking stupid idea. You're trying to make a
Speaker 1: Lego film. It's obviously going to be bad. Little did
Speaker 1: I know that the people who were making it, And
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that I don't know their names because and
Speaker 1: Chris Chris, Is that true? Yeah, so they have a
Speaker 1: track record, I'd say for making films that I see
Speaker 1: the poster and I go, what a pile of shit,
Speaker 1: and I see the film and I go, that was perfect.
Speaker 1: That was immaculate. So Clouded with a Chance of Meatballs,
Speaker 1: Lego Movie, and into the Spider Verse are all perfect,
Speaker 1: amazing films. They feel exciting and original even when they're
Speaker 1: doing you know, one of them is like a brand
Speaker 1: is Lego, and one of them is you know, a
Speaker 1: whole Spider Man. So it's like, you know, really, those
Speaker 1: things shouldn't be shouldn't feel original. It should feel because
Speaker 1: they're doing it from pre existed ideas, and yet they
Speaker 1: still make them feel exciting and fresh. And the stuff
Speaker 1: that they the way that they do it is really innovative.
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Speaker 1: was good. I couldn't believe how good it was. It's
Speaker 1: really good. So like my top three films that fit
Speaker 1: this category are all by the same people. Amazing, really good.
Speaker 1: That's really good, absolutely right. And also they changed everything
Speaker 1: because I've completely forgotten that the Lego Movie sounded ship
Speaker 1: and now we go, oh the Lego movie. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: why the amazing movie was such a thrill. Here we go.
Speaker 1: Here's the question, the reason I brought you back? What
Speaker 1: is the single most erotic moment in a film, James Slamcaster, Listen,
Speaker 1: I don't tend to watch films and find the erotic
Speaker 1: as an adult, even when they're trying to be sexy.
Speaker 1: Of course, why would you, Well, even when they're trying
Speaker 1: to be I just think I just don't really find
Speaker 1: it that. Yeah. I had to think really really hard
Speaker 1: about this and be like, like, honestly, are there any
Speaker 1: moments in films that you really are so hot that's
Speaker 1: really sexy and erotic? And there's not, But they're having
Speaker 1: said that once there was a moment in a film
Speaker 1: that I definitely thought was erotic and sexy. And so
Speaker 1: my answer for the moment in the film that's the
Speaker 1: most erotic moment in the film is the entirety of
Speaker 1: American Pie. I watched that when I was thirteen years old,
Speaker 1: and it was it was the sexiest thing I've ever
Speaker 1: seen in my life. I couldn't believe. I couldn't believed
Speaker 1: what I was seeing. There were boobs in it, yeah,
Speaker 1: there was. It was mums shagging people on pool tables.
Speaker 1: It was very sexy and it was extremely erotic. It
Speaker 1: may I had not seen pornography at that point, it
Speaker 1: may as well have been that I've sat down to
Speaker 1: watch a pornographic film. That's how erotic it was. It
Speaker 1: blew my head off my shoulders and into space. It
Speaker 1: was so sexy. What a lovely, classy answer? Well what what? What? What? What?
Speaker 1: What did you do? Think The answer was going to be, Oh,
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, wild things. It could be there's a
Speaker 1: hundred films, there's a thousands. Anyone that comes to this
Speaker 1: podcast and goes like, I don't really think of films
Speaker 1: is sexy, I'm like, you fuck off the same ways
Speaker 1: you do about once put time in Hollywood. I'm like,
Speaker 1: you're a fucking liar or you're mad. You have to remember, yeah,
Speaker 1: you are a walking erection. So you of course you
Speaker 1: find any films sexual. Like most of the time sex
Speaker 1: in films, it's like, yeah, whatever, and like and because
Speaker 1: it's in there to serve a purpose a lot of
Speaker 1: the time. But when you're first, when you're thirteen years
Speaker 1: old and you see American Pie for the first time, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's true. What is that not erotic? No, it is
Speaker 1: absolutely erotic. But for you to say that was the
Speaker 1: last time that film, I honestly can't remember a time,
Speaker 1: he said, I thought, I'm not I'm not saying this
Speaker 1: just to appear like I'm I'm I'm a real good boy.
Speaker 1: Hey I'm I'm like sex, I'm a grubby, little little pervo.
Speaker 1: But like, but let's not look at the film. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: there it is so sexy. There it is there. I
Speaker 1: really thought, I really really thought about it, and there
Speaker 1: it is. There is That's what it is. There it
Speaker 1: is imagine saying that during the act. There it is horrible.
Speaker 1: It is absolutely horrible. There it is. No, that's not
Speaker 1: you know, that's just there. It is. What's the film
Speaker 1: that you don't care about as a whole, you know,
Speaker 1: a big fan of the film as a whole, but
Speaker 1: there's a single sequence in it that you fucking love? Yes, Brett, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed these questions and thinking of the matching
Speaker 1: I actually pleased my answers. This is not only that
Speaker 1: I don't really care about the film, but I like
Speaker 1: the sequence. Yeah. I don't really care about the entire franchise,
Speaker 1: but I like the sequence. Okay, interesting, even though I've
Speaker 1: watched the entire franchise twice and we'll probably watch it
Speaker 1: again because I find it comforting. But though I think
Speaker 1: all the films are bad, I refer to the film
Speaker 1: is Harry Potter and the definitely Hallows Part two. Oh okay, interesting.
Speaker 1: I just think they're bad. They're pretty bad films with
Speaker 1: amazing some of the best casts we've ever seen on
Speaker 1: the screen, but generally has been with Harry Potter. I
Speaker 1: don't think the stories are ever really very good and
Speaker 1: a lot of the I love the world building. That's
Speaker 1: what I love in Harry Potter. I love the world building.
Speaker 1: Couldn't care less about the stories. I think there's bad stories.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. I get chills every time Neville
Speaker 1: chops the head off Neguini with the sword of Griffin
Speaker 1: door that sequence when you've seen this little kid literally
Speaker 1: you know, started off as a little little boy in
Speaker 1: the films, who's just going what is it always me?
Speaker 1: And hang it up hanging from the ceiling, and he's
Speaker 1: a little clumsy boy, and then in the final film
Speaker 1: he's he's fucking ripped is it tall? And he's main
Speaker 1: And the way that the angle that they shoot her at,
Speaker 1: the way that he swings the sword up so that
Speaker 1: the snake's coming up, because the snake's coming. You don't
Speaker 1: even see. They don't make a big deal that he's
Speaker 1: going up to the snake. They're just showing the snake
Speaker 1: and you don't know what's going to happen. And then
Speaker 1: he just appears into shot and he swings the sword
Speaker 1: upwards and chops its head off. And definitely you always
Speaker 1: think of what Harry's gonna Harry is probably gonna have
Speaker 1: to do all of this himself, but it's Neville. Nevill
Speaker 1: comes up chops again his head off, and within the
Speaker 1: same battle as well, Muma Weasley, Julie Walt's character kills Bela.
Speaker 1: Tricks were strange, saying get away from my daughter, you bitch,
Speaker 1: and kills her. And that's one of the best bits
Speaker 1: in cinema history as well, those two moments, which are
Speaker 1: like probably within five minutes of each other. I absolutely
Speaker 1: love them. And she does she say get away from
Speaker 1: my daughter, you bitch. Yeah, an alien like an aliens.
Speaker 1: Joe I didn't even think about that, get away from her,
Speaker 1: you Bitch's it is. She does do that because she
Speaker 1: taught her a bitch. Because it's like a big deal.
Speaker 1: It's like, well, that character, it's like a very good
Speaker 1: decision for that character. In fact, I would say it's
Speaker 1: more effective than it is when Ripley says it because
Speaker 1: she's a bad as she'd be calling everyone bitch, like
Speaker 1: everyone's a bitch on that space. Yep, the Weasleys aren't
Speaker 1: going around and going you fucking bitch to each other,
Speaker 1: so like, well, that's the thing. I watched them all
Speaker 1: again recently because i'd watched the reunion thing that they
Speaker 1: did on TV with all of them having the reunion,
Speaker 1: So maybe want to watch all the Harry Potter films again.
Speaker 1: So I did it, and it was very comforting. But
Speaker 1: really the only moment I enjoyed with those two moments
Speaker 1: in the final film worth fourteen hours of your time,
Speaker 1: A long time, a long old time, and yet worth it.
Speaker 1: Those are the only two worth it. Those two bits
Speaker 1: are like you probably probably feel it. They're great, really good,
Speaker 1: really good. Answer. What is the film that has stayed
Speaker 1: with you the longest after seeing it? Scream too, Love,
Speaker 1: Scream too, Love, Scream Too. I've never seen a horror
Speaker 1: film before. I no exaggeration, didn't sleep for two weeks.
Speaker 1: I was terrified that someone was going to burst into
Speaker 1: my bedroom and kill me because I was watching a
Speaker 1: film where people were getting killed was executed without courts. Seemingly.
Speaker 1: I couldn't see anything that they're done to deserve it.
Speaker 1: It was just someone burst in and stabs them. And
Speaker 1: so I was like, Oh, that could happen at any moment.
Speaker 1: That's the thing that could happen. And I didn't sleep
Speaker 1: properly for two weeks. Took me ages to get to
Speaker 1: bed every night afterwards. I haven't had a film before
Speaker 1: since that has done that to me, where for two weeks,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it every single day and it has
Speaker 1: affected me mentally, and it's affected the chemicals in my
Speaker 1: brain that an American play, Well, there's the chemicals in
Speaker 1: my dick. That's how you get a bone in it, chemicals.
Speaker 1: Your dick fills up with chemicals. Yeah, it takes the
Speaker 1: chemicals from you, from you tell me. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that's the way it works. But yeah, I was
Speaker 1: absolutely terrified as scream Too. It became less and less
Speaker 1: with each horror film that I saw, to the point
Speaker 1: where now I just don't think I'll ever be scared
Speaker 1: by a horror film again. I just love horror films.
Speaker 1: But like there was Screamed Too, and then I know
Speaker 1: what you did last summer. Oh, actually, probably I still
Speaker 1: know what he did last summer. I think I probably
Speaker 1: watched it first because who can. Yeah, the bit where
Speaker 1: Jack Black gets killed shouting shouting out to Jack Black
Speaker 1: again in I Still Know What he did last Summer
Speaker 1: is really upset me, really chill because he starts crying
Speaker 1: in it and begging the guy not to do not
Speaker 1: to do it, And that really really got to me
Speaker 1: because it was too human and really really really felt
Speaker 1: for the guy. Hannibal, Yes, where he has a lot
Speaker 1: of a load of bits in Hannibal that stuck with
Speaker 1: me for a very long time. Obviously, that eating his brain,
Speaker 1: eating his brain. Obviously, couldn't stop thinking about that. I
Speaker 1: couldn't stop thinking about the guy chopping his face off
Speaker 1: and feeding it to the dog. Let's probably other bits
Speaker 1: as well, But yeah, that was that was quite unpleasant.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, Yeah, yeah, what is the film
Speaker 1: that made you feel better about the world? No, here's
Speaker 1: the thing as well. Third time on the pod. I
Speaker 1: don't know what films I've mentioned before and what I haven't.
Speaker 1: Apologies to any listeners if I've mentioned this one before
Speaker 1: the rest of them. I'm pretty sure that I haven't,
Speaker 1: although I screamed too. I might have. I think you
Speaker 1: might have scream too. But it doesn't matter because I
Speaker 1: haven't listened back to them, and hopefully no one else
Speaker 1: as been enough. These are my honest answers. It's been
Speaker 1: a hundred episodes since we let no rule that I
Speaker 1: couldn't repeat films. You know, some films do take more
Speaker 1: than one accolade. Sure, maybe I should have made that rule.
Speaker 1: That's on me. That is on me. No, No, the
Speaker 1: film that made me feel better about the world? Did
Speaker 1: you say yes, Life in a Day? Oh no, I'm
Speaker 1: thinking I think you have. I think you didn't mention
Speaker 1: that last time. Yeah, this is a different category, but
Speaker 1: but it's the only film that fits this. I don't
Speaker 1: think any of the films make me feel better about
Speaker 1: the world. Oh my god. So films don't give you
Speaker 1: banners and they don't make you feel better about the world.
Speaker 1: What did they do for you? Entertainment? I really like them,
Speaker 1: really cool, But like fiction films. If it's fiction, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not a fucking idiot. I'm not going to fool
Speaker 1: for it and go that must be what the world
Speaker 1: is like in that story that someone made up, So
Speaker 1: forget it. When they're all like, hey, all you need
Speaker 1: to do is be kind and then your football team
Speaker 1: will be all right. I don't believe that stuff, right,
Speaker 1: that stuff isn't a trick me. The football team are
Speaker 1: all right, they get relegated. Spoiler massive spoiler. Well, I
Speaker 1: don't know what you're talking about. I'm talking about Dam's United.
Speaker 1: That's very much not the message of that film is
Speaker 1: all you have to do is be did your football
Speaker 1: team will all right. It's being mean to them, but
Speaker 1: then they'll sack you, I think, but no, no, to
Speaker 1: be fair to you. Yeah, that's that's that's a good
Speaker 1: thing about Teddy Lassu is that be kind and the
Speaker 1: world will ship on you. Yeah, that's the message, right,
Speaker 1: which I like it. I like that, But I think
Speaker 1: fiction films, yeah, don't make me kind of feel optimistic
Speaker 1: about the world a lot of the time because of that,
Speaker 1: because it's made up. So documentaries are the only things
Speaker 1: that can really make me feel better about the world.
Speaker 1: And most documentaries can be quite sad and arresting and sober,
Speaker 1: and some are about really amazing things that are happen,
Speaker 1: but still kind of bumm you out. Three identical strangers
Speaker 1: things like that. You go on an incredible film, but
Speaker 1: at the end you go, oh, I don't know, the
Speaker 1: world was more messed up than I thought it was.
Speaker 1: Fuck me. Life in a Day, yeah, just goes here
Speaker 1: is just normal. Like literally, this is just regular mundane
Speaker 1: things and every single day on the planet, these kind
Speaker 1: of things are happening every single day. And they even
Speaker 1: show you not they still show sad stuff and whatever
Speaker 1: in it, but it does make you feel at the
Speaker 1: end of the film, what a beautiful thing that I'm
Speaker 1: lucky to be a part of. And that is that's
Speaker 1: the only one that makes me go the world is beautiful,
Speaker 1: life is beautiful. Even the film Life is Beautiful did
Speaker 1: not make me think that life is beautiful. That guy,
Speaker 1: that guy's mad, But no life Beautiful is an makes
Speaker 1: the film, But that is the only life in the
Speaker 1: life of a day. I can still watch that now
Speaker 1: and feel quite warm about it and feel like I'm
Speaker 1: not even being manipulated because I love how it's just
Speaker 1: all presented as is. There's a bit of music going
Speaker 1: on over the top and whatnot, but like they are
Speaker 1: just going here, you go make what you want of this,
Speaker 1: and some of it is clunky or cringey, but they
Speaker 1: just let it be and by the end, I just
Speaker 1: feel like I'm really looking to be alive. Yeah, so yeah,
Speaker 1: that is my only answer. I can't really think of
Speaker 1: any other film. No, that's a very good answer when
Speaker 1: you've answered it in a different way, even though I
Speaker 1: think every answer you've given so far you gave last time,
Speaker 1: but then completely different thing. I can't help it. I
Speaker 1: know this is this is a big film, and also
Speaker 1: like genuinely like I don't know. I'm looking at my
Speaker 1: DVD collection right now. I bought all of my favorites
Speaker 1: on because I want physical copies of them. That's all
Speaker 1: my DVD collection is, and I'm looking over at it
Speaker 1: and going, I mean, they all make me feel like
Speaker 1: more positive about the world because that film exists in
Speaker 1: the world, so you know, what a great world. Because
Speaker 1: I can watch Sorry to Bother You or The Lobster
Speaker 1: or whatever. But like that made me feel happier about
Speaker 1: the way that it makes me feel the world. They're
Speaker 1: showing how me how great the world is. Which is
Speaker 1: your favorite couple in a film, James Lancaster. I know
Speaker 1: I haven't mentioned this one before. It's not even a
Speaker 1: film that I particularly like, I think it's okay, But
Speaker 1: this is the main couple where I genuinely forgot that.
Speaker 1: I was watching two actors and I felt like they
Speaker 1: were genuinely in love with each other and it was
Speaker 1: a proper couple, and it is the most real, And
Speaker 1: it's one scene in the film. They're not in it
Speaker 1: for the rest of you together for the rest of it.
Speaker 1: It's one scene, and I totally believed it. So the
Speaker 1: film is other people. Have you seen other people? Jesse
Speaker 1: Plemons his mother cancer in it, and you know, there's
Speaker 1: loads of actors in it that I like. So I've
Speaker 1: watched it and it's it's fine. So it would have
Speaker 1: done better. I think back in the Donnie Darko kind
Speaker 1: of area. It feels like that more that kind of
Speaker 1: indie film. But it's it's cool. It's got some good
Speaker 1: jokes in it, and all the performances are good. Jesse
Speaker 1: Plemons is, I think, from what I remember, on a break.
Speaker 1: So his character was on a break from his boyfriend
Speaker 1: who's played by Zach Zach Woods, who he might know
Speaker 1: as Gabe from the Office from the American Office. There's
Speaker 1: a scene where they basically he basically like, hasn't told
Speaker 1: his parents that they've broken up, his dad that they're
Speaker 1: broken up, So they visit and they pretend they're still together,
Speaker 1: and then there's a scene after that where they're laying
Speaker 1: in bed together just talking and being very tactile and
Speaker 1: just like having a conversation in bed, and that scene,
Speaker 1: I honestly just completely bought they were in love with
Speaker 1: each other, and I haven't ever got that from I
Speaker 1: remember thinking when I saw these questions, I didn't even
Speaker 1: have to think. If you would ask me that on
Speaker 1: the spot, I would have known my answer straight away,
Speaker 1: because it's really stuck with me. Like I remember watching it,
Speaker 1: and look, as far as I'm aware, you know, I
Speaker 1: think I think they're both straight, and I don't really
Speaker 1: really back straight actors taking those kind of roles. I think,
Speaker 1: you know, your greedy boys, leave them alone. They're not
Speaker 1: you cut your own roles. Other people need to work
Speaker 1: in this industry, God damn it. So you know, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily be liked, and I support everything about that
Speaker 1: casting choice that I think it's great, But my god,
Speaker 1: if I didn't watch that and think, man, they might
Speaker 1: be a real couple outside of this film because I've
Speaker 1: never and I've seen films where there's a couple in
Speaker 1: it who are a couple in real life. Never. Never,
Speaker 1: I've never believe a couple who are a real couple
Speaker 1: as a couple in a film. No, never buy it.
Speaker 1: Don't care. Yeah, don't, don't buy it at all. But
Speaker 1: it's weird. It's weird that you would choose to do that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's weird. Also, there's so much stuff that
Speaker 1: when it's like, you know, couples in films and you
Speaker 1: kind of watch it and think, have you ever been
Speaker 1: in a relationship ever? Like the way you're acting with
Speaker 1: each other, that's not how couples act. The way Plemmens
Speaker 1: and Woods act in this scene is like, that's how
Speaker 1: a couple talks when they're lying in bed with each other,
Speaker 1: and specifically as well, they're in a complicated stage of
Speaker 1: their relationship and then they managed to communicate it all
Speaker 1: with body language and everything. And also at the time,
Speaker 1: you know, both actors, I liked them, but I mainly
Speaker 1: knew there was gained from the office and the whatever
Speaker 1: his name is in Breaking Bad, So I didn't know
Speaker 1: Plemons obviously. Nowadays, yeah, you know, he's a he's a titan,
Speaker 1: he's a movie star. Yeah, but back then I was like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah he was. It was Landry or whatever in
Speaker 1: Friday Night Lights, And but I gave up on that
Speaker 1: before the end of the season once, so I don't
Speaker 1: really know how he did in that. And then he
Speaker 1: played that psycho in Breaking Bad and that was a
Speaker 1: really good role. But you know, I don't know if
Speaker 1: he's a great, great actor because you know, that character
Speaker 1: was like no emotion, which I'm pretty sure I could
Speaker 1: play a character and no emotion, So I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's a good good actor or not. It could
Speaker 1: do no emotion. I think you could play an act
Speaker 1: character had no emotion because the director would keep going, sorry,
Speaker 1: can you just try to not share disdain either, because
Speaker 1: that cancer is an emotion, So sorry, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: do no no emotion. The thing is, that's what you know,
Speaker 1: people don't understand about acting half the time. It's how
Speaker 1: you look. It's everything to do with it. And Jesse Plemons,
Speaker 1: he's got those eyes are quite close together. You know,
Speaker 1: he looks like there's something going on there. You like,
Speaker 1: he can do he can just do dead face and
Speaker 1: you're like, well, fuck, I'll do dead face and it
Speaker 1: just looks like I'm being sarcastic. It doesn't it doesn't
Speaker 1: really work. Yeah, do dead face right now? Yeah, it
Speaker 1: look like you're taking a piece out of some way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it would work, but yeah, that's
Speaker 1: my answer for the best couple. I mean, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: necessarily recommend people watch the hold of that film, but
Speaker 1: I'd say at least like fast forward to that scene,
Speaker 1: watch it, and it's a masterclass that's really excellent. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is the one I do have an answer for.
Speaker 1: Of course, yep, come out and miss Piggy. Well, that
Speaker 1: would be on. That would be my prediction for your answer. No,
Speaker 1: my answer is Donald's having Julie Christie and don't it
Speaker 1: now that's my answer. I've not seen it, Well you should.
Speaker 1: What's the film that inspired you to do something? Jack
Speaker 1: as the movie? Well, I saw it. Afterwards I wanted
Speaker 1: to do Jackass. Oh yeah, you love Jackets. I love Jackass.
Speaker 1: After I saw the first one, me and my friends
Speaker 1: were like, let's go and jump off of stuff and
Speaker 1: feel myselves doing it. Do you have these videos? My
Speaker 1: friend Matthew will have these videos. I've asked him never
Speaker 1: to show them to people ever, but we used to.
Speaker 1: This was before people had camera phones and my friend
Speaker 1: Matthew had a camcorder, so we would film myselves all
Speaker 1: the time. And thank god YouTube wasn't a big thing
Speaker 1: back then or what, because you know, I feel so
Speaker 1: sorry for teenagers growing up now with YouTube who would
Speaker 1: just put stuff on there. And then I think they're
Speaker 1: more savvy than we were. But then I think even
Speaker 1: teenagers know now not putting anything online. But like we
Speaker 1: would have if we if we'd known that we could,
Speaker 1: if somebody has said to us, you can put that online,
Speaker 1: we would have thought, yeah, well we're brilliant, so we're
Speaker 1: definitely gonna put it online. Did you do it with
Speaker 1: like the introes as well? Would you say, I'm James Acaster,
Speaker 1: this is jumping up a building? Yeah, stuff like that. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: definitely like going like oh going like we're gonna jump,
Speaker 1: We're gonna jump over these shopping jolly is there we
Speaker 1: go just like really stupid stuff. But I remember just
Speaker 1: being watching that first Jackass film and being so absolutely
Speaker 1: amped with like I just want to go up, Like
Speaker 1: I remember as soon as the film finished we were
Speaker 1: we were on these raked seating at the cinema. I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm just gonna jump on my chair and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna jump down as far as to see how
Speaker 1: far down the raked seating I can go, because I
Speaker 1: was like, I didn't do that, but I was so
Speaker 1: ampt that I was like, that's what I want to do,
Speaker 1: because I want to be like Jackass. How is Jackass Forever?
Speaker 1: It is? And I do not say this lightly a masterpiece,
Speaker 1: It is their best. Is the best Jackass film. I
Speaker 1: would say There's only two stunts in it which I
Speaker 1: didn't love. Normally, in Jackass films, there are a handful
Speaker 1: that I love, a lot that are just okay, and
Speaker 1: a couple that I hate, but it's worth it for
Speaker 1: the ones that I love. The ones I love are like,
Speaker 1: this is cinema at its finest. Jackass Forever. Yeah, there
Speaker 1: were two. There was one that I think is okay,
Speaker 1: there is one that I don't like. The rest of them,
Speaker 1: ten out of ten, I absolutely love it, and by
Speaker 1: the end, I was like, that is beautiful what they've
Speaker 1: done with that. They've got They've got the new class in,
Speaker 1: they've got the old hand, the old guard and they're
Speaker 1: a minute together, and you completely forget that that lot
Speaker 1: are new and those that this lot have been at
Speaker 1: it for a long time. You just completely love the
Speaker 1: new lot. I bet they're going to do more films
Speaker 1: with just that new lot. Now, this is the parson
Speaker 1: of the torch. I'm going to throw my name into
Speaker 1: the ring. Join that jack new Jackass crew. Jack Ast,
Speaker 1: please do Jackaster. I just called myself Jackaster and Joy Jared. Look,
Speaker 1: if the people who make Jackass approached me to at
Speaker 1: least to just like guest on one stunt, I'd absolutely
Speaker 1: do it. I don't think I could. I mean obviously
Speaker 1: obviously obviously no one's offering me. But in my wildest dream,
Speaker 1: we don't know who listens to this. If you are
Speaker 1: involved in Jackass listening to this, please hire Jackaster for
Speaker 1: your next film. Yeah, and I would do a stunt.
Speaker 1: I probably can't do the whole film because you know,
Speaker 1: as people know, I am older than I. Look, do
Speaker 1: you have a dream dream stone? You could do one stone?
Speaker 1: What was it going to be? From the jacket? From
Speaker 1: the entire Jackass series, all the Jackass series, all the
Speaker 1: stunts they Unless you've got your own one you want
Speaker 1: you've invented, well, the most iconic ones I don't think
Speaker 1: I could do. I couldn't do putting a toy car up,
Speaker 1: but because I just don't think it would be I
Speaker 1: don't want to do. The ones that are just like
Speaker 1: that are like I mean that for one, that's like
Speaker 1: the best one they've ever done. It's iconic, and I
Speaker 1: think anyone trying to do that one again, it's almost disrespectful,
Speaker 1: right right, Ryan Dunne did that. It's no longer with us.
Speaker 1: I think if you stick a toy car up your butt, um,
Speaker 1: you're saying that you're basically just that you're you're as
Speaker 1: good as Ryan Dune. And that's that's disrespectful. Um. I also,
Speaker 1: I don't think it works. I think part of the
Speaker 1: reason why it works is because you know it was
Speaker 1: done however long ago. And he clearly doesn't want to
Speaker 1: put the toy car up his butt. And I'm not
Speaker 1: saying I would want to put the toy car up
Speaker 1: my butt, but I'd say it's twenty twenty two and
Speaker 1: less of us have a problem with putting it stuff
Speaker 1: up our butts these days. And I reckon, I said,
Speaker 1: if someone told me put that up your butt. People
Speaker 1: will be able to see in my eyes, he doesn't
Speaker 1: want to do it, but it also doesn't think it's
Speaker 1: a big deal. And I think what you really need
Speaker 1: in a jackass stunt like that, it's for the person
Speaker 1: to be like, I really don't want this up my butt.
Speaker 1: But I think I'll just be like, nah, be fine,
Speaker 1: It'll be all right. So what's your choice? What do
Speaker 1: you want to put up your back? Put something in
Speaker 1: my buck, because again, I just think I'd be okay
Speaker 1: with it, I would say. I mean, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of their stunts that like, there's a lot of good ones.
Speaker 1: I mean, the high five is my favorite one where
Speaker 1: they've got a massive hand and they pull it right
Speaker 1: back in a spring and I split spring loaded finger
Speaker 1: and then they let go and it just smacks people
Speaker 1: as they walk in the door. Obviously, Johnny Knoxall has
Speaker 1: got a pretty good deal in that because he just
Speaker 1: stands there and let's the hand go and it smacks
Speaker 1: other people. So I'd like to be in that one,
Speaker 1: but not be told that I'm gonna get smacked. So
Speaker 1: I'd like them to prank me one day and walk
Speaker 1: in and get smacked by the big hand, and then
Speaker 1: I'll be pretty happy about that. James A. Caste, You've
Speaker 1: been excellent for the fifth time. Thank you for doing
Speaker 1: such a special edition and for being the person that
Speaker 1: started and may well have finished this podcast. However, you're
Speaker 1: on the precipice of heaven and hell. Your best and
Speaker 1: worst things you told me you did. One was carbs,
Speaker 1: the other was being mean to me, neither of which
Speaker 1: really amount to a Hillobeans in this crazy town, which
Speaker 1: made me think I might I might let him live.
Speaker 1: And then I heard your answers, most of which you'd
Speaker 1: said before, and I thought, I'm about to kick this
Speaker 1: fucking guy into hell. But you got one last chances.
Speaker 1: You can give me one film that is meaningful in
Speaker 1: the hope that I will spare your life. What film
Speaker 1: are you going to give me? Before I made my
Speaker 1: fatal decision, christ might look, I know I haven't prepared
Speaker 1: this one. I'll focus so much on the other ones
Speaker 1: that I don't really have an answer, but I will
Speaker 1: give you an answer. Yeah, I'm gonna say yeah, just
Speaker 1: because I'm looking over at my DVD collection now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And it's the film that I was like, I would
Speaker 1: like to watch that now and I think it's a
Speaker 1: beautiful film. I would say the farewell. I'd like to
Speaker 1: present you with the farewell. Oh James, you've only bloody
Speaker 1: done it. Yeah, James at the Slamcaster. You're going to heaven.
Speaker 1: And I tell you what it was, right up to
Speaker 1: the wire, that was. But I fucking love the fairwell.
Speaker 1: What an excellent life saving answer. I don't mean life saving.
Speaker 1: You're still dead, but you are going to heaven. Congratulations,
Speaker 1: Thank you. I hope you have a wonderful time there.
Speaker 1: There's lots of your friends there actually, because I've killed
Speaker 1: so many of them, and you give me a list
Speaker 1: of the people you like the most, and I will
Speaker 1: not resurrect them and make sure that they get to
Speaker 1: stay there with you. It's wonderful news. I'm very proud
Speaker 1: of you. You've done a tremendous job. Actually, you've lived
Speaker 1: an incredible life. You've touched many many people, and you've
Speaker 1: also touched their minds. Will you please tell people what
Speaker 1: to look out for. You've got a book out, you've
Speaker 1: got the biggest podcast in the world, I in Menu
Speaker 1: on the record, and you've also got your stand up
Speaker 1: that you're only doing for charity. Now is there anything
Speaker 1: Is there anything else we need to look out for? Well, okay,
Speaker 1: So my book comes out in August. It's called James
Speaker 1: Akass's Gude to Quit in Social Media being the best
Speaker 1: year you can be in Cuing Yourself of Loneliness, Volume
Speaker 1: one that comes out in August. It's a very very
Speaker 1: silly book. Listen to the Offmented podcast on me and
Speaker 1: pen Pamples talk about food and ask people their dream meals.
Speaker 1: I must get him on one day, yea, and yeah,
Speaker 1: I think everything else it's a secret. I know one
Speaker 1: of your secret projects. And let me tell you it
Speaker 1: is going to blow people's little pants off. Yes, people's
Speaker 1: pants are going to fall off when they discover that project.
Speaker 1: And when I say, this is the man who said
Speaker 1: there was no such thing as erotic cinema and he
Speaker 1: made this project on my days. Yes, he was hiding
Speaker 1: in plain sight all along. James Acasta, Thank you. Think

Speaker 1: I want to make too big a deal of this,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to cry, but I started this
Speaker 1: podcast a few years ago with the help and advice
Speaker 1: of Scrubia's Pip, and with long suffering producer and the
Speaker 1: theme music man, Buddy Peace, and with photography by Lisa Lydon,
Speaker 1: and with the fantastic art by Adam Richardson from Podbible,
Speaker 1: who's got his own life and never wants to do it,
Speaker 1: but keep making him do it. And through the years
Speaker 1: this thing has grown into live shows at the BFI
Speaker 1: and beyond into sequels and now into trilogies. And all
Speaker 1: of this happened because of the people that listened and
Speaker 1: cared about it, So I thank you. It's been a
Speaker 1: real privilege to spend time with the amazing guests I've had,
Speaker 1: and an honor that any of you have listened. I
Speaker 1: am going to do one more bonus episode next week,
Speaker 1: and then, if you can bear it, I'm at least
Speaker 1: going to take a break. I always said i'd stop
Speaker 1: at two hundred. I'll have a think about it. I
Speaker 1: do love doing this and I'm sure that i will continue,
Speaker 1: but I'm very busy and it's quite hard to do
Speaker 1: this as a weekly thing. So I'm just going to
Speaker 1: take a month off. I'm going to think about it.
Speaker 1: Might come back and do it as seasons. I might
Speaker 1: do it, who knows. I'll probably carry on doing it
Speaker 1: as normal. Who is you know what I'm like. I
Speaker 1: can't stay away from it, but we'll see. But I'm
Speaker 1: definitely going to stop for a bit. I'm going to
Speaker 1: give you one extra bonus next week because I've got
Speaker 1: a really fucking great one in the can, and then
Speaker 1: give me a minute to think about it, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure i'll be back. But i want you to know
Speaker 1: it means a lot to me that so many of
Speaker 1: you have written, and so many of you care about
Speaker 1: this show. I care about it too. I'll be bad.
Speaker 1: Just give me a little break. I love you, I'm
Speaker 1: grateful to you. I'm thankful to anyone who has listened
Speaker 1: to this and who has talked about it, and who
Speaker 1: has shared it with their friends, and I hope I
Speaker 1: see a lot of you at the live show at Hackney.
Speaker 1: I do have to give a special thank you, special
Speaker 1: shout out to Buddy Peace, the producer and the man
Speaker 1: who did the theme tune. He's the heart and soul
Speaker 1: of this show. He's the guy who answered the phone
Speaker 1: at midnight when I'm like, oh, I just need to
Speaker 1: get this thing in the fucking podcast, and he does
Speaker 1: it all. He's the reason this show works. It's fucking brilliant.
Speaker 1: I'd recommend him to anyone. And best of all, he's
Speaker 1: an incredible music guy. Listen to all this stuff. You
Speaker 1: can find it on band camp, I think on Spotify,
Speaker 1: Buddy pieces amazing. All the Christmas music you get, that's him.
Speaker 1: He's fucking brilliant and I'm very grateful to him. So
Speaker 1: thank you, Buddy. And I know he's had to listen
Speaker 1: to this because he's the one editing it and he's
Speaker 1: probably being sick in his mouth as he listens. But Buddy,
Speaker 1: I love you. You're brilliant. Thank you. I hope you're
Speaker 1: all well. Thank you for everything, So that is it
Speaker 1: for now. In the meantime, have a lovely week and
Speaker 1: please be excellent to each other. Six
