I'm such a world beater. R I Why am I always doing that? Mister DJ Yoda, Hello you. I'm very well, thank you. Things are good over here. Yes, thanks for doing the show. How are you, Bret? I'm all right, thank you. You were just about to say this and I said save it. I said save it

for the pod. For God's sakes, I looked you up obviously on the on the wikipedes, and turns out you went to war At University before me. But seeming he did the same thing I did. And you will say Djo, which, oh yeah, it was still a thing when I went there. Mojo was still a thing madea was still a thing like Mojo dates you because Mojo was originally an acid jazz night, just that alone. Just like, hey, I was

DJing at that acid jazz night at university. Just like I don't think it remained that when I was there. It wasn't. I don't know what it was. It was that was partly my doing. Yeah, Like I mean, it's you know, like the cool thing about having gone to Warwick University, which is, let's face it, quite as many

people being stared. Yeah, exactly. The thing that worked for me about that was there was no one else trying to do what I was doing there, Like there's no other hip hop DJs at Warrett University, so I had no competition and that gave me full free reign to be a resident at that Mojo night and dj every week. That was where I got all my practice DJing in

front of crowds and warming up for bigger DJ's. And I think if I'd have gone to Manchester or Bristol or one of these all the places Brighton, there would be so much competition that I wouldn't have had that amazing head start. So that's what I credited for. So you turned it into a hip hop note, it was as jazzy tended to hip hop. Yeah, it was a bit of everything. It was. It was funk and you know this, this was like drum and bass was just starting.

I remember that, and that was a massive deal. Just get played drumming bass at the end of the night. Every other week was pressure, which was the drumm and bass note. That's right, Yeah, that not exists when you with it. Yeah I did. Yeah, yeah, I was involved in that too, but that was for the hardcore drum and bass heads. I just flirted with it. That was the one. Yeah, how did you get into all of this that you were worried going? This is this is a bit of me this How was that if you

were the only one? Oh yeah, Well, my parents both worked in music. My dad was a manager and my mum was a record worked for a record producer, and so I grew up my dad's record collection was in my bedroom. So I literally grew up with records all around me. And you know, I was literally like on the set of music videos and at gigs and everything at the age of seven and eight and all that stuff.

So it was that's what was around me. We had Top of the Pops on and the radio, and I just you know, it was there was never other way, any other way it was going to go. I was surrounded by by music. But then I think that like the hip hop thing, kind of that kind of time in the late eighties when every pop song had like a cheesy hip hop remix with all samples and scratching and beats everything, and that's the stuff that kind of jumped out to me. And the idea of sampling and

putting in little bits from kind of from film essentially. Yeah, from from Dodgers, film, TV and TV commercials and cartoons or just any audio that you thought that you were inspired by it. And the idea that you could cut bits out and stick them on top of other things and create these collages. That was what appealed to me. Yeah that's cool. What were you doing at university? What was your course at Uni? I studied English and American

literature with film studies. Right, I did a bit of that, didn't I. So did you have the crazy Spanish guy with your film studies? Of course? What was his name? And believe it, I'm trying to remember, Like I can't remember. He had a Spanish name and he was a Spanish guy. I mean, none of them liked me. I could tell you that. I can tell you that not a single lecture or at university likes me. You're a difficult student, I was. Yeah, I was. I would probably be described

as challenging. Yeah yeah, yeah, Well you know that the film side of what I did was interesting because you know, I never even liked set out to be a DJ. It was never really kind of, oh, this is what I want to do for work. I just was djaying because that's what I love doing. And I would always do that. I In fact, even when I left university, I had other jobs. I worked in film for a bit, and I was thinking, I'll keep djaying as like a hobby, so that way it won't ruin the passion that I've got.

But it just got so ridiculous because I was ended up djaying around the country on a Wednesday and Thursday night and then trying to get into work for the next morning. I just thought, this is crazy, Like, I guess I'm destined to do this, so I gave into it. Do you still, having done this for many years now love it? How much of it feels like a job now that's like, yeah, I've got to do this fucking stuff. And how much of it is still basing the djaying itself,

Like whenever I'm behind turntables and DJA, I'm happy. Whether I'm in front of ten thousand people or in front of two people or alone, I just djaying makes me happy. And even if I'm feeling sick, whatever's going on, the stuff that can be quite hard is the travel and the politics and the logistics and all the boring stuff. But the djaying itself, no, you know, even if no one wanted to see me DJ ever again, Karen doing it for myself because that's what I like doing. I

love that. I think, you know, there's obviously parallels with stand up, with the traveling and the stuff. But you can't do stand up on your right. That's the upside of DJ. It is it's fucking great with a crap, but you could, as they deal on your own, but stand up is it's pretty tricky. But but you know that the like, the closest job to what I do is stand up, And I know a lot of stand up comedians, and the lifestyle is the same, and so

much of the work things are the same. I mean that the parallels are kind of they're going forever, the way you construct your sets, everything. And actually, I think there's a lot to be said for performing to hardly anyone. Yes, I think it's I think it's important. I think everyone needs to do it a lot. It's humbling, it's good practice. You know, all this stuff is necessary. I mean, I wouldn't want everyone every gig to be like yeah, of course, but you know, if that happens to me once every

couple of months, I'm good with it. I've made my peace with that. Well, you know, it's interesting. I haven't said this out, you know, I've thought this vaguely, but when I watch musicians in bars or something, when people are just playing music in bands, I always think fucking hell.

I would the fact that quite often you can be somewhere and someone is own stage performing and everyone is ignoring it, everyone is talking, everyone is You just think, god, fucking I've been going in stage, Like in stand up you'd be like, what a fuck's going on over there? You know what I mean? Like, you know what gigs are the most like that. It's like when you're playing to the most number of people, Like I played to thirty thousand people once and no one even cared that

there was a DJ play. You know, it's much more fun to DJ to one hundred people than twenty thousand. Interesting, Well, because I was going to say, isn't it more like stand up in with DJ? With what you do is you can see a crowd react to you, what you play next, what you change, and you can there's that thing of you can see people dancing, you can see people stop dancing. You can be like, oh fuck, I'm losing. Am I bring them back with this bit? And exactly.

And that's the same with comedy too, because you've got the laughter of something to gauge what you're doing. But yeah, I think to be able to see the whites of their eyes, it's way better. I don't like the gigs

where I feel very distant from the crowd. And you know, when I first started out, even in the days of war at UNI, it was more the case that the superstar DJ thing hadn't really happened yet, and it was more the case that the DJ was amongst the crowd out and not on a stage that you would be much more like in the corner of a room and not everyone could see you, and you were kind of amongst everyone. And I really preferred that. I never really got into what I do to be in the spotlight.

I don't really couldn't care less about that side of it. I happily DJ behind the curtain if I could. It doesn't make any difference. The fact that people are looking is okay, but it's not certainly not what I'm in it for. Love that you never get caught up in there, No, it's not. That's not a side of things that I'm interested in. You know. I think they're there are so many different ways to do these jobs. And some people are in DJing just to become famous or to make

a brand, or to make money. And you know, that's one side of the spectrum. As far as I'm concerned. That other side is just doing stuff that you think is cool and if other people pick up on it, then great, and if they don't, it doesn't matter. Brilliant. I've forgotten to tell you something that I should have said, probably before we reminisced you died. You're dead? Oh shit, Yeah, it's a nightmare. Your your spark. What what do you think about that? How do you? How do you die?

What do I think about it? Yeah? Did you? How did you die? How did I die? Well? I mean, if we're going to be realistic about it, I probably died in some kind of travel accident. I would have thought it would either be a train, yeah, derail train, or a crash plane or a car crash that I think these seem the most realistic for me. I mean, obviously you get to chigs, say which made of transport do you want to die? Is this a choice and not something that's just the most likely thing to happen?

However you interpret it, But yeah, I interpret it as what's probably going to happen, not not the choice. I mean my choice is I died peacefully in my sleep. It's very boring. One vehicle do you want to die? And then a train or a plane or a I mean, let's just go train. Why not train? I was thinking, train doesn't. No, it doesn't. You get you get a lot of car and plane crashes. Let's go train. Why not keep things original? You want the carriage, lots of

people on it, lots of people daling with you. I mean, what do you want here? Mass death or just you're in a late night one on your own and people are spared. I just have four people, please, do you want to choose them? Or four randoms? Yeah? Four randoms? Four randoms and the train water just come off the rails. Yeah. Just something quick, please, like something where something smashes into it. So it's just instant, that's what christ what's spassing into

this train? Another train with thousands of people? You're a month. I love a helicopter that's gone out of control. Okay, so so it's kind of an action movie death. Yeah, helicopter hit the train. Two people on a helicopter six, six dead seven include dead, I'm afraid, Yeah, you got it? Yeahinting the picture, Okay, well it's spectacular, spectacular. Do you worry about death, mister, No, I'm not a big thinker about future or past. I'm very much I'm like a goldfish.

I've got absolutely shit memory, like not even funny, it's it's it's actually a problem for me. But like, I don't really remember school at all, A really adapt very few memories of childhood. So I literally can't think about the past much. And I don't see the point of sitting around worrying about the future and death. I just kind of yeah, I'm like a goldfish. Did you do looks of drugs or did you experience of trauma in

your childhood and that's why you blocked it out? Literally neither, Like yeah not never been a drugs person, and I had a very pleasant childhood. So yeah, as far as you remim exactly as maybe it's all hidden down so deep, I don't know about it. Yeah, and it's coming up. Yeah, it's still a very you know, zenim Buddhis sounds very sensible to be living entirely in the present. That's what we're meant to do, isn't it. I think I think we're supposed to do that because you can concentrate on

what's actually going on. I just think like it's, you know, one thing, thinking about the future and worrying about it. If it's stuff that you've got control over. But if you don't let it be, what are you going to do? Dude? God bless. What do you think happens when you die? If you ever think about it? Not very much. I think that like your energy kind of dissipates in a physical way. I think that as you decompose you trees

grow out of you and stuff. But I don't believe in much more than that, you know, I think I think, I do think there's kind of like an energy that moves around between us all, but not much more than that. So I wouldn't describe myself as like full on atheist, but I'm neither of my full on religious person either. Well, news for you, there is a God, there is a good that, there is a heaven, and he is very

annoyed with your attitude towards him to this point. There is a heaven you are very workom and it's filled with your favorite thing. What's your favorite thing American breakfast cereal. Fucking great. It is absolutely made out of American breakfast cereal. There's the lucky chance, there's your cheerios, there's your Coco pops. Yeahs crunch cinema tast crunch. Yeah, and then it is everywhere. The packets make up the seats. They're just served all day.

Oh god, I really like this heaven as well. Anyway, they're delighted to see they're all the American breakfast cereals are and they want to know about your life, but they want to know about it through the medium of film. The first thing they ask is, what's the first film you remember seeing, mister t j Ada. The first film I remember seeing is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Yeah,

how old are you? I'm not that old that I was there the like for the original release of Premier, which was Yeah, which is probably getting on for a hundred years ago. Yeah, did you see that at Homer at the cinema? I remember that was my first cinema trip with my mum. I do kind of vaguely remember. I don't remember the specific cerve, I remember the feeling. I remember being scared of the old Witchy Lady with the Apple. Yeah, you know, I don't remember much more that.

I was probably about five or six, I reckon, but that's definitely my first cinema remembering you now, I had a younger brother. I have a younger brother. Didn't have a younger brother. Yeah, sorry, sounding really dark because it was obviously the days of VHS. We had a bunch of movies on video at home that were on rotation, and I remember what those few were for the for

several years, you know, and that was What's Up? Doc with Barbara streisand High Anxiety, the mel Brooks film, all the Marx Brothers movies we used to watch and repeat, and Parent Trapped, the original Sixties Parents, Yeah, which I'm sure just like my dad probably fancied Hailey. Yeah. Yeah, So those those were the films that were repeat when I was a kid, so they kind of those are the films that remind me of childhood. That's very great. What about being scared? You were scared of the Witch

in no way. What's the film that scared you the most? And do you like it being scared? I've got a funny relationship with horror films because I would say that on the whole. I don't like horror as a genre, and most horror I don't have any interest in. But then all my favorite films are horror films, incredible, So I think that like when when horror gets it right, I love it. Most of the time it doesn't get it right. That's that's my kind of feeling about the genre.

When you say I'm not interested in it, because do you not? Is it that you don't like being scared or it's literally just shit? Win's really shit to you both, folks. I don't really like, I don't really get the idea of wanting to be scared watching a film. I don't. That's not my favorite kind of like emotion to escape into. That. That's not a very relaxing time. It's stressful. Yeah. Yeah.

And when I think of like your average horror film, I think of like something that's like number five, six or seven in a series, and generally that's the kind of shit that I don't care about. But then yeah, like I would say that the film that I kind of think of that scared me the most might be Silence of the Lambs or seven, and both of those films, like absolutely Love and the Shining too, you know, like that's that's terrifying film and also one of my favorites.

So when horror gets it right, I really like it. And then I think there's kind of like bits of horror in more psychological thrillery stuff like I love Jacob's Ladder with Tim Robert film I've always did that, and The Lost Boys with for like eighties Vampire Nous that's kind of scary. So there's yeah, there's definitely stuff that I like that that has that in it, but on the whole, not my back. So which is your favorite one? I go Silence to the Lambs. Silence the Lambs ticks

a lot of boxes for me. Great film, romantic comedy film. From what about crying? You were crying an average amount? I wouldn't say I cry more or less than most people. I cry a healthy amount in life or films. I don't like crying every day, but trying now I think it's I think it's healthy to cry, not too much. But you know, but actually, when I started thinking about movies that made me cry, two very recent things came

to mind. For some reason, I don't know why, because I I just couldn't think of anything older that made me cry. It was hard to think of it. But I loved my eyes out during Worst Person in the World, which I think that might be my favorite film of the year actually this year. I just really loved that film. I just thought I was so invested in the characters and it was such a good story and it was just very emotional. It got me, you know. So I loved that. And the other one that I remember crying

a lot it recently was Manchester by the Sea. Yeah fair enough. Again, just kind of like tugged on the heartstrings a lot. That one. Have a question for you, with all the sampling that you didn't do, do you find yourself you're watching films, so you did your brain go, oh, I should get that line, I should get that bit.

I should Is it always on? So very long ago, I just developed this way of experiencing media where I'm just constantly tuned in to the stuff that I want to sample, and it's like it runs concurrently alongside my

enjoyment of whatever it is I'm experiencing. So I can sit there and watch a film, but as soon as they mentioned Yoda in it, or turntables or whatever it is, it just clicks, you know, in my head, and I'm like, and so the notes section of my phone is just this kind of mental list of twenty two minutes seventeen into this, like this episode of this. You know, Like that's just the way that I function. I can't turn

that thing off. Maybe that is like a comedy in terms of your comedy brain is always picking out things that happen or things, but you're still the mediums. You're experiencing things in life, and even though you're experiencing them, you're also thinking, oh, this is material. That's yeah. Yeah, yeah, so it is the two things run alongside, and yeah, that's definitely the way that I function. Then, incidentally, they're like Manchester by the Sea. Just whilst I mentioned it.

That also taps into a very specific genre of movie that I hands down love, which is all Boston related movies. I just for some reason, every Boston film is awesome, that's funny, and they get it. Yeah you understand that. Yeah, there's no bad Busting film. I mean there's no bad Boston films, especially when they're like if they're setting the full as well, that really helps if they're not sitting. Yeah,

there is a summer busting film. Well, that's a good point. Yeah, Buston seems perpetually in him it is, which I like because that's my favorite season. I like the Boston accent. I just love all those you know, good Will, Hunting, the Town, Social Network counts. Yes, yeah, Departed, The Departed.

One about a film that you love. It's not critically acclaimed, most people don't like it, but you think it's fucking great, right, This is like most films that I love, So I pretty much going forever with that answer, Like, yeah, I don't even know where to start, because I like some arter shit and I know, like I love it, I know it's not for everyone else. So there's there's many genres of ships movie that I like great, I would

not recommend for anyone else. I am a huge fan of anything kind of high school related dross set in high schools. If there's nerds, jocks, yeah, and lockers and you know, all that stuff I'm in especially eighties related as well. So there's some pretty deep stuff like that that, like, I would not recommend anyone watching the film Lucas, for instance, exactly obscure eighties high school stuff. Give me some more

that can't hardly Wait, yes, with Jennifer love Hewett. It's just I mean that is like I love that film and it's it's a crap even like pitch Perfect. Pitch Perfect. Okay, it's better quality than those other two that I said, but it's not like on the in the grand scheme of things, I couldn't recommend it as like a kind of amazing, incredible invention of a film. But I like

Dude Wears My Car, Howard and Uma. I like talking animals, so like air Bud, Yeah, that's great Ran for a long look, I think I think there's yeah, there's a lot of it's diminishing returns as you'd expect. And then I also like the other genre that like is like Arnie in comedies and jingle all the way. Yeah, another pervert. I'm just looking for a Tobo man dol. Yeah. So like I say that movies that you're are supposed to be bad that you love is like, that's my whole

thing for sure. Can we choose Lucas as your choice? What about a film that you used to love but you've watched recently and you've thought, this doesn't this doesn't work for me anymore. For whatever reason. I think there is a lot of the eighties movies that I grew up with as a kid dated badly. I recently we

rewatched The Goonies, which I loved as a kid. About watching it now, it just it felt chaotic, really, It felt like it felt like the kids were out of control and the director didn't manage to like rain it in and it was just, yeah, it was chaos and not in a good way. And of those eighties, you know, I love all the John Hughes films. That's that's what I grew up on. But I think if you go back and watch sixteen Candles or The Breakfast Club, they're problematic.

They are problematic now, which is sad, but they haven't dated. Well, do you have children? May Do you have kids in your life? Yes? I do? So is that why when you're watching goon is he like fucking hell, this is so stressful just fucking behave Yes? Possibly my age now, like the time of life I'm in that like when you're like in your mid forties, the last thing you need is like a bunch of kids screaming at you.

So yeah, where the parents exactly? These people need discipline any time it is what are you doing looking for one life? Winnie in bed? That's right? What is it the film that means the most to you? Not necessarily the film itself is that great, but the experience you had around seeing the film would always make it special to you. Mister dj Idea, Well, I mean the one that came straight to mind for this was actually a Star Wars film. It was The Phantom Menace, which was

the first of the second trilogy. Yeah, the Bad Ones exactly, and I just there was a lot of anticipation at that point. There had been no Star Wars, proper Star Wars since Return of the Jedi, so it was a big deal and it was a big deal for me, and you know, like, I'm not actually an uber Star Wars nerd at all, And in fact, it's from it's from that point that my interest in Star Wars kind of started declining. And it was because of that film. That film was such a crushing disappointment and it was

so confusing. It was so confusing to me because it would have been built up and I was like, this is going to be the best thing in the world, and there were like elements that were kind of cool about it, but I just remember processing it for a long time afterwards, thinking and the more I thought about it, I was like, this just wasn't good. It was such

a disappointment. And I very amiably saw it in Vancouver, of all places, that's just where I was at the time that it came out, and we bought tickets early. Were you talk, No, I was just traveling around the world at that point. I'd taken a year out and was just all over the place. I was with a good friend and we were both excited to bought tickets

for The Phantom Menace. There was a massive long queue around the block, even for the people that had their tickets, So we got to the back of that line, and I remember when we got into the movie theater, I feel like it's going to be a rush to get the good seats, that's what's going on here. But everyone qued in and just went straight to the food concession. It was so American, even was Canada. Everyone was just

like they were rushing to go get the food. And we actually got to go into the get the good seats first. I remember that about it, But yeah, a memorable experience. What's the good seats? Well, what are the good seats. I liked the middle. I'm a noble man. Yeah, I'm a middle man. I trying to remember which film it was. There's one film that was totally ruined for me by sitting at the front on the left. I just felt like just the bottom quarter of that film,

you know what it was? Now, Yeah, I'm a middle middle of the cinema. Gup had to do that once in the Imax and it was like fucking now, front Road at Imax. I did one of my av shows at the Imax in Waterloo, So it's like djaying because because half the shows that I do they're working with film and mixing and scratching film. And I did that with the Imax screen there and that was epic to get to do that. But I remember people sitting in the front thinking, that's going to be a weird view.

Where are you when you're doing that? Are you at the bat? Are you in the No, I stand in front of your screen. I'm in front of the screen. I've experimented with this a lot over the years, but the way that it works is for people to be able to see the correlation between what I'm doing live and the screen. So even if I'm kind of obscuring the screen. I'm better off still in front of it. It's a funny thing with those shows because you can kind of explain it to people in words, but it

doesn't mean anything until you've seen it. Like I can say I scratch movies, but that doesn't mean anything until you see a movie being scratched, even if it's on YouTube for a minute, and then you're like, oh, okay, I'm want to come to anything. I like that you've described it in the same way they tried to advertise the Matrix, which is no one could explain it to you. You have to see it for yourself. That's how they

advertise the matrix. Yeah, I believe so that was the That was that I can explain the Matrix to you without you needing to see it. Well, apparently you can't. You have to see it for yourself. They really underestimated you. What the thing with the Fact of Men is. We've

talked about it. I'm sure one of these episodes people have mentioned it, but it is so insane with all the build up and what everyone believes that was is that the opening screwl says the taxation roots and you're like, yeah, and then it's a lot of diplomacy in that film. Too much, too much kids here, No one came the tax What a miss What a misfire that turned out to be? And tax and you I kind of lost

interest in all the Star Wars stuff. I'm watching it still and there are moments, but on the whole my child has been ruined. They've really just desecrated the whole thing. Do you want to change your name? I wanted to change my name fifteen years ago. I'm waiting past that now. Yeah, I'm stuck with the name, the names, the names here. But yeah, it has done anything wrong. Yeah it is still good. Yeah, okay, but it work for now until they do the Yoda series. Yeah, let's wait till the

Yoda series. Yeah. Good. Idea. What is the film you most relate to, the film I most relate to. I'm going to choose a serious Man, the Coen Brothers film Serious Man, the one that is about like the trials of job or job where terrible, terrible things happened to him. Oh, yes, terrible basedly and it's like it's an updated reason of job. The story. Oh, I didn't know that. I didn't know the job part of it. I'm not up on my old testament. So you relate to the film Terrible Things

Happened to a Man. Yeah, but maybe it's not the terrible Things Happening to impart that I'm relating to the most. The part I'm relating to is it's a very evocative visual setup of a Jewish man growing up in the suburbs, and it's just so spot on. There's so many things in it, and they really focus in on the kind of disgustingness of it. There's a lot of hacking, coughs and flegm and just like you know, a lot of just like Ikey just it's just an icky, horrible, awkward, gross,

difficult kind of environment that he's in. And I can just get it. I just watched that whole film. It's like, yeah, this is I recognize all these people. This is the thing you blocked ever in your childhood. Is the sound of coughing and flem Yeah you cut it. You watch that film? The sound the sound, yeah, exactly, not just the sound. It's yeah, it's just a brilliant film. I absolutely love Current Brothers and that's a really that's one that people don't talk about very much, and I can.

There's just something that clicks with me with that film. It just really I do really relate to its speaking of covering up in flam what is the sexiest film of all time? What a segue can I'm going to go for ice wide shot? Is it? Is? It? Explain? Sometimes it veers a bit too over into darkness and weirdness. Admitting weirdness. You tell me. It's a very It's just a very sexy film. It's funny because I'm not a massive fan of Tom Cruise or Nicole Kidman, but they

work in that film. It's Kubrick that makes it work, I think, And it's just the intimacy of it. It's a very sexual film. What can I say? I need to see this film again because it keeps coming up in any story. Yes, you know what, I did a real U turn on it. The first time I saw it. I wasn't convinced, but I think I was too young for it. When I rewatched it again recently, I was like, as an older person, now this is making a lot

more sense to me. In this whole film. It's very psychological, kind of sexual in a psychological way, And yeah, I do you turns on films quite a lot, actually thinking about it, mainly with Tarantino films. I always kind of like, have one opinion of a Tarantino film, then rewatch it and completely change my mind. That's good though, that's cool. I think consistent. No, it means it's good to have. It means you're a different It means you're a different person.

Do you change and films change? Have you? I think that's good, isn't it? Yeah? I definitely need to see it. I always chat again because I'm sure I was too young. You know. My memory of it is that it was quite boring, and I definitely didn't think it was sexy. I remember being like this sexy filmmate's sexy walking down street with this one planet. There's subcategories to this. What it's called traveling beyond is worrying? Why I don't? What's

the film? You found a rousing? You weren't sure you should? I have a big problem with this question. I feel like, first, it feels like a trap for pedophiles. That's my first absolutely words question. Yeah, yeah, it does. And if and I'm not, I'd like to make it clear that I'm not one. First, Yeah, and second of all, I feel like the only kind of acceptable answer would be animation for a cartoon. And I've never been aroused by a cartoon, not a Jessica Rabbit or anything that feels wrong as well.

It just it reminds me of the question. You get a lot in music interviews about guilty pleasures, and I really just don't believe in the concept. I don't think there should be such thing as a pleasure that you should feel guilty about. I think either you own the thing that you like or you don't, but to feel ashamed of it, it's not cool. So I want to fuck cartoon. There's nothing wrong. I can fuck a cartoon. Yeah, I mean's as long as you're not hurting anyone, then

go ahead into it. Yeah, so you have no answer, You have no no troubling answer that one. Yeah, exactly, loudd bonus. That will never be sure. I reject your question. I respect it. Listen, you're a Buddhist. You live in the present, and when you get bonus, you've been them. You've got me down to a team. That's what it's going to go on my gravestone. He's a serious man with no shaving his bonus what is objectively, objectively the

greatest film of all time. You probably have to remind people this all the time, but remind me the subjectively and objectively difference. The difference is this. It might not be your favorite, it might not be the film you'd take to say to a desert island. It might not be a film you want to watch every day, but it's aliens come and they go, show me the pinnacle of cinema. Right, Okay, I would say, don't look now, but don't look now. But I don't want to watch

don't look now every day. But I go, that's the fucking pinnacle of cinema. Yeah, so it's not my personal choice. So does this mean the thing that I think the most other people would like? No, it's the thing that you think this represents the best, the pinnacle of movies, cinema what cinema can Okay, that's really hard. I mean it's hard because it's only hard because my obvious answers for it are obvious. They're just too boring. And I don't like a boring answer. I would like to have, like,

come up something more interesting. But you know, the Godfather, Godfather Part two, like you know, but which which when you're pressing me on that probably too and I'm not even sure I'm stuck on I mean, I could go to Shining for this. That's an incredible example of Yeah, let me do that because Godfather is just too boring. Good Fellows or Godfather seem like an obvious thing to me, but I think good Fellers is more the correct answer. Yeah, well,

that's interesting. I mean, they're both. I put them both up there for different reasons. But the reason that I'm struggling is because I'm not getting a chance to mention my favorite director of all because it's not coming under any of this. This is the one where I want to be able to say something by my favorite director, which is David Lynch, and hey, I'm with you, Hey, but I just can't. I'm well aware of the fact that it's not for everyone. Yeah, but in this category

you could maybe put the Elephant Man. I don't know, that's the one I'd go with. I feel like he wasn't quite David Lynch at that point. He was getting there. Have you read his semi autobiography, Yes, I mean yeah, I'd say he had a walked down a street in London and then he was suddenly possessed by the spirit of Victorian England. I'd say he was pretty David Lynchstead. Okay, I get it, but the things that make him Lynch you can't spot them as much in that film as

you can in later films. Yeah, but then we're getting into the like, you know, sticking to this question because I think I'll come back to Lynch. I need to. I need to crowbar Lynch in somehow. But I just feel like this isn't the I'm really stuck between a lot of things, because then I would also maybe say pick a Mask Brothers film for this one hasn't been out before it. I think I want to say duck Soup because I just feel like it's so much more

timeless than anything else that I've been talking about. And it doesn't matter if you're eight or eighty, where you're from, if you're an alien from another planet, that's something that can represent what we do. So let me just having gone through all the obvious stuff, let me just randomly say duck Soup. Love it great? As what is the

film you could or have? What's the most times? Again, this is why I'm not I could answer tons of different things, but I reckon I'm going to go Big Lebowski, which is quite an obvious one as well, but it it bears repeating, and the reason that it bears repeating is that a lot of the joy in it comes

from repetition. I think a lot of Coen Brothers comedy comes from just repeating the same line again and again, or the same fitting thing happening again and again and again, and it just becomes funny and funnier, which is why you can rewatch that film again and again. And on a deeper level, this really plays into music as well, and hip hop and just making music out of loops, and I think there's a whole art in just duplication,

just repeating stuff, and that really interests me. And you really see that in Coen Brothers humor and especially in Big Lebowski. So yeah, I think that's the one that I would go straight to. But I also want to just give honorable shout outs for Ferris Bueller's Day Off, which is I could watch that forever and never get bored. Weirdly, like gross, point blank, really random one, but I just

I just always happy. It's one of those things that that la confidential, those are two films that I just I will always watch and never get bored off, So I have to shout those out in that same breath. They're films that you've used samples from that sort of feel embedded in your head, that now feel like something else because you've turned them into something else. I don't

go back and listen to stuff that I do. As soon as I've made it, I never listen to it again because I would just I can only hear the problems with it, and nothing's ever perfect. So you have to kind of when you're making stuff, you make a cut off point. You're like, I stopped here because otherwise that way licensanity, you know, So once it's done, is your kind of point settling pains? Or is it because you have genuine deadlow it's self imposed and it's also

probably way too early. Like I'm of the school of like, just get the idea out in a messy way and then move on. So sometimes I actually need other people around me to say, no, hang on, can you just refine this a little bit so it it's not a complete shocking mess. So I do. Yeah, I like to just get the idea out, move on, and then never listen to it again. That's the way to do stuff. So if I have sample movies that stuff isn't I'm not constantly exposed to it. Interesting, this will makes sense

to me. Good. I don't watch stuff, and I do love listen. I'm a huge comedy of repetition guy. When I wrote with Kevin Tate, I mean our favorite thing was just Nan saying one word repeatedly and seeing we could get it to say. I mean, that's just when we did the live show, she said I'm dead dead, I'm dead dead, having managed to street out before. I mean, it seems a pretty based level of humor, but I love it, just just repeating something again and again and again.

Did you see any of Natasha and Ellie's comedy thing on? So I'm just thinking about the bit when they do the kind of daytime cookery show and they're applauding the just goes on and on and on, just applauding this really kind of ridge looking salmon meal. Yeah it's a minute. I really lie enough that too, really really spots. Don't like to be negative, do it quick? What's the worst film you've ever seen? The Shadow starring Alec Baldwin just good. It's just the one I remember hating in the cinema

the most. But I think there was like this period of superhero movies before Marvel, like early nineties, where they just hadn't quite got the superhero thing down yet. And also in that era was the Rocket here and Dick Tracy. Well, you seem to like all these bills for me, Like I just I remember saying at one point I hate superhero movies, and it took Iron Man and everything onwards to change my mind about that. Dick Tracy is great. I mean I haven't seen it in years. That's it

doesn't stand the standard test of time. Maybe it could be. It does have an iced teas on it, so it gets a point for that. Yeah, I loved that film. Maybe don't know that. I'm scared to watch it. You're you're you're funny, you do funny stuff. What's the film that made you laugh the most? Mister djo Oh brother where art? Now? You loved Brother Love David Lynch and the cod Brothers those are the two. But oh brother, where Art? Just Yeah, it's just the it's the way

the way the words work in it. You know, there's just so many quotables and everyone plays their part perfectly. It's just to me. That's I absolutely love that. That's my idea of funny, very nice, very nice. Can I argue with bit mister Djo, you've been excellent. However, you're on a train when your way to a gig. There were six hundred people on the train. Could have been just you, but you decided to bring six people strangers,

random strangers you brought along. And meanwhile, Bruce Willis was fighting a man in a helicopter and there are two men in the helicopter. He was wrestling a drawing the helicopter. He jumped out. It's fine, he landed softly, but the helicopter headed towards the train, crashed directly into the train. The whole thing exploded in a massive fireball. To be fair, it looks quite cool, but when you think about it, A tragic lass of seven eight nine lives apologized walking past.

I was walking past looking for Bruce Whitnis because I was had a pilgrimage. And then see this massive explosion. I go, Bruce must have been here. And I walk past and go, oh, hang on a second, that looks like DJ Yoda ash and I come over, You're an absolute state. You're embedded in part of the chair. I have to get a drill. I have to pull the chair out, and they have to smash you up with a sledgehammer to get bits off you are anyway, you're a mess. I get what I can. I stuff it

in the coffin that I brought with me. You know what I'm like. And coffin's absolutely full. It's full of metal and bits of you and bits of train and a helicopters. Way too graph anyway the way whoa, it's your choice. Anyway, you're in the comic. There's only enough for room. There's not much for him. There's only enough that I can slide one DVD into the side with you to take across to the other side. And when

you're there, it's Maybe night every night. What film are you taking to show the American breakfast cereals when it is your Maybe night, mister DJ Yoda, that's Twin Peaks, fire Walk with Me? Yes, David Lynch, Let's do it scary the people of Heaven? One film A. Why is David Lynch? Just everything he says the coolest thing that you've ever heard anyone say? Because he's the greatest, It's the best, He's just it, just lives it like you're

a Buddhist. Tell me this Joda. Is there anything that people should look out for watch for, get tickets for go to in the coming months. I am about to release my fifth album comes out in November eighteenth, and it's called prom Night and a lot of work has gone into this, so I'm excited to release it. And will you never listen to it again? No answer the
