Sometimes it feels like you've written those intros in advance to make sure you nail them. On this occasion, very much felt like you were riffing it. It's been last night. That is a word for word

what I write over the weekend. That was the third draft. Yeah, I mean you must have written a little reminders for yourself all around the room, because that's where you were looking when you were desperately trying to reach for something. SITCOMA big strong boy, big strong boy, very handsome, nice, big strong boy. Famously a big strong boy. Probably your name for yeah, lifting stuff. Yeah, some of your greatest work is that body of yours. That's what people say.

They're all saying it. Now, where are you? For those of you who can see the video when it looks like is ed is in a dungeon. It looks like I'm in some magical cave of delights. But I'm in Edinburgh. I'm at the Edinburgh Festival, Brett in a hotel where I am staying because I'm that guy. Now I come and do a show at the edinbur Festival and I book a hotel. Love it, I love it. It finally

worked out how to do the other festival that's one week. Yeah, I finally worked out how to somehow lose more, lose more money than I used to when nobody came to my shows. Ah, man, I'm jealous. I'm miss Edinburgh, do I? Yeah? No, you just you miss everything that you're not doing right now at this moment, right right, right, yeah, this is what That's what you're like. You could you could be. You're filming the most successful sitcommon history and you're going,

oh God. I wish I was doing Always Be Comedy in Kennington. I wish I was at King's Crust in an underground venue, playing to four disinterested tourists. I wish I was doing the Wednesday after the two for one days at the Endinburgh Festival in the Pleasants beneath. Please why am I not doing that, please, Mervin start to put me on me. Yeah it's true. Now you went really so you went really sad then, Brot, Yeah, I think I was thinking i'd take it back to me

and start. Gig said yeah, no, that's yeah, it's hard actually, and then and then I was like, no, I don't miss Edinburgh. You don't miss you don't No, no, it's it's really hard actually, and alwash everyone he's there. Well, lots of lots of lack. And I hope they hope they hang on, hang on to your mental health because you're really gonna need it. I mean, I'm mad, but I've never been madder than I am in Edinburgh. Yeah, that is that is the real peak madness for everyone.

I think sort of second second week, halfway through the second week is when everyone hits absolute insanity. I've been thinking about it because I don't know. I was talking to you, Goose, you know, Goose. We're talking to a goose talking I've gone mad, Brot. I was talking to Goose's verbody. He's not having a day off in the middle, and I think that's why I think the day off fus you as soon as you have a moment of like what am I doing? Then you've lost it. Second

half of the festival's over, You're fucked. Yeah, you've got to plow through. That's what I've always done. And then don't do the last Monday, although I've done that before. I had gone through no day off and then done the last Monday, and I've just been an absolute husk. Yeah, I got to the stage when I do I would do Last Monday, but I'd hand out to quila shots to the audience when they came in, just give it

a different vibe. And what you also always remembered is that going, oh, I should have done this every time. It really does help. Yeah. That feels a bit cheap, doesn't it. Yeah? Right, what am I going to talk about this year? Well? First, first things first, I'll give the audience tequila and then I'll work out the rest of the show all the night. Yeah, and then I'll just riff and we'll be fine. You should do that, man,

that should be next year's Fringe. She should come and do the whole run and just call it Brett Goldstein's tequila Riff. Not a bad idea. That's not a bad idea of Okay, edge gamble, you have died again because it's his judgment day. You stand on the edge of heaven and hell, so you must tell me the best and worst thing that you did in your life, and also answer some questions about film. In the end, I will decide whether you go to heaven or hell. Understood, Yes,

I understood, Brett. Thank you, simple clear concept. Go on, then tell us the best and worst thing you did in your life. And by the way, I've done this once with j j Jane Janet, Yes, Jane. I don't know two of them. There's only one Jane, and he I'd say she did this appallingly. I was disgusted by his answer. They were pathetic. They were like, oh, I made a pasta and I made a cheese row. It's like, come on, mate, I m asking me the best and worst thing you did in your life, and I think

you're going to take this more seriously. Yeah did he mention tretho broccoli pasta? Did he? I think he did? Yeah? Yeah, Well, and maybe that's it. You know, who am I to judge? But it is judgment down. I judged him and I don't think that's true. But I mean, he's not done a lot of great stuff, though. To be fair to that guy, Yeah, he's done so many worse things. I thought he could at least handed out side of it. I did a shit off my neighbor's shed roof once.

Is that allowed as a Which one? Do you think that would be good or bad about your neighbor and what your neighbor had done? No, I was hanging out with my neighbor roof. Yeah, I was with the neighbor. I was quite young and so was he. And I can't remember what did I give this as my secret last time? I can't remember. I think you did. Yeah. Oh no, I've got nothing, Brett. I've done nothing good and nothing bad. I operate in completely in the middle

of the road for my entire life. Absolute lies lies, very simple concept. Just tell me the worst thing you've ever done that keeps you awake at night for the public. But this says more about you than it does about me, Brett. You were to no bad things that other people have done that keep them work at night so you can sleep easier. But I also want to know the things that they're most prouder. It's a wonderful thing I got. I got married. That's the best thing I ever did.

That's a really nice Yeah. I'm not trying to be funny here now, and I appreciate that it's the best thing I ever did you ever did? I frequently cheat on my wife? Thank you? You hear that, James, that's saying you do it? Yeah, exactly, thank you. That's a really lovely answer both sides. On your wedding day, did you feel this is the best day of my life? I think there's a lot of pressure on you to

feel that. And when there's a lot of pressure on you to feel that, you're constantly self examining and going is this the best day of my life? And what is making it the best day of my life? And is this a new feeling because it's the best day of my life? And then about halfway through I just relaxed and had a really love time, and now I look back on it, it definitely was the best day

of my life. But the first half of it I was completely consumed my self doubt and worried that it wasn't the best day of my life and what the hell was wrong with me? Yeah, that's how I imagine it. I like that. I mean, you know, you would have to imagine it make because you didn't come. Yeah, and I really wanted to, And I hope you understand it. Some things take precedent, like Los Angeles. Yeah, but you've gone. You're the podcast. You need to You need to maintain

your own levels of energy and excitement. Okay, you can't keep going sad. Every time I say something, I think you keep you keep hitting real, you keep hitting me real, and I'm like, yeah, this is what our menus like. I've listened to it. You're someone will say, oh I like a banana cake, and you'll go that your mum made you. He's not here anymore. Yeah, do you like your dead mon's banana cake? You'll never have that again? Will you have quite the same way? Anyway, we've been

off menu. Ihm ed and he's a genie. Your mum said, good night, that's exactly what it is. Yeah, God, you listened to it a lot, so hang on. Okay, yeah, okay, all right. Well, I'm still not sure whether you're going to go to heaven and Hell based on those answers, So I guess I'm gonna have to ask you some

film questions. I think, So, what's the film you saw when you were too young to see it that affected you the most total recall, Yes, I love it obviously, but I somehow laid my hands on a VHS copy of tital Recall, very excited that it was an eighteen I probably saw it when I was maybe twelve around that age. And there's things in that film that have really have really stuck with me as as images throughout throughout my life and has definitely they've definitely affected me.

Which is I think I feel similar Lilyga. Well, there's I say there's three main images that have stuck with me from title reco. There's I think it's it's more of like a premonition, isn't it When he goes outside in Mars and then his helmet smashes and then his eyes go all googly and he screamed yea, yeah, I love a Schwarzenegger scream is one of my favorite. Yeah, and then his eyes all pop out. Absolutely love that.

That's really stuck with me. I'm leaving the most obvious one to the end here because I think we all know what it is. There's when he's in disguise as the Big Lady and the face like unlocks. It's brilliant. I think that's absolute genius. That's really stuck with me. And then three tits, i'd gone up the nose, gone up the nose. It's really stayed with me. That really are Yeah, there's that film is amazing, isn't it horrible? Well? I love tatle recall, but I never understood it and

I still don't understand it. What don't you understand? Man? I don't get it. I think I don't even understand the concept. He goes do it clinic and said, implant a memory of the other day. Yeah, and then he suddenly wakes up and he's in Mars and he's someone else. And then in the end he says it was all a dream or something. I'm like, what a fu Well? I think I think he goes to have that thing done and then that unlocks his actual memory, right. I mean,

I've not seen it in a while. I think the last time I saw the remake, which really just put me off the whole thing, to be honest, But I think it fasts with him and he turns out he was that guy. Anyway, It goes mad, doesn't it. But I love it. I love all that dream stuff where you don't quite know where you are. I'm sick. I just let it all wash over me. Great answering, I really related. Thank you, thank you, if you could, thank you. If you could play one character in a film, which

one would it be? And Hercules in Hercules in New York, Hercules in the news or film. No, I wouldn't play Hercules. I mean, imagine being so arrogant to take that part. I'd love to. I'd love to play a love feeling strong boy. You'd love to play vill god. I'd love to play a lovely villain. But I think I'm too cheeky. But if this is my dreamcasting Jaffar, I know we

should be avoiding White Washington, Hollywood, but I would. I mean, I think he's the best, one of the best villains of all time, and I'd love to I'd love to play Jaffar. Thank you, Brett, Thank you. Ed. No, no further question. You have to deal with the backlash. Okay, okay, you're playing your far as live action as you you're yeah, I'm well, I'm me live action in the animation, in

the animation, and I have to ask. I don't want to ask, but I have to ask, are you wearing any kind of makeup for this, right, Okay, okay, I just like the character. The character of Jaffar is excellent. See you're playing Jaffar as you're doing an accent. Yeah, but like a posh accent. I mean that's what he's That's what he does, really, isn't it right? He does sort of a push English accent, which is the Baddi's voice. So I'll do I'll do Baddy's voice. Yeah, that's the

part we've got you in intoed essays. Yes, William, you know, people believe you when you say stuff like that, and then they're right too. It's one of the main arcs of the series. I can't think of a better. I mean, Disney villains are obviously amazing. There's some incredible ones, but I think Jafar is is the best of the best villain wise, Why is he your favorite? Because he's just evil and he I don't think there's any there's no attempt to give him any redeeming features. He's even evil

to that poor parrot. He's haughty, he's arch I love how tall and thin he is. I love his staff. I love him. I just love him. I think he's sexy. So you like it you like a villain who doesn't have a kind of reason, as in from his point of view, it's like, oh no, he's just a bad, bad mother fugger. Yeah, I think so, And I think, you know, sure, I love I love layers and nuance and oh now we can really we can really emphathize with the villain. But I think people have forgotten just

why not just have some some mad cunts and stuff. Yeah, because you're right, I mean, I guess you're right, You're right on this. Fine, But like I love hands packing nuts down, Disneys hands packing nuts down. Sure, but the villain is you know, I mean, of course he's sexually obsessed with a gypsy and he thinks he's going to go to hell for it. I mean that's yeah, of course they love that. Yeah, that is complicated stuff. But

I just think sometimes things don't need to be complicated. Brett, you know, when when he's when it's all over it, when he's Ledgers Joker came out, everyone was like, it's so good. He's like he just wants to watch the world burning. That's so interesting. It's like, No, all the villains in the in like eighties films with that they're just mad and they're you know, money obsessed, and they just want to blow stuff up. Why can't we just have a fun character who says mad stuff, who is

basically a vehicle for blowing things up. Yeah, he's just mad. Yeah, Okay, I like it. You can be different. I don't don't see any issue with it. Okay, you can change the name. We can change his name to like Jonathan or something. Yeah, all right, So Jonathan's moved. Are we setting that moving the whole of a Laddin? No? Is he absolutely not. No, it's in it's in wherever it's set, sort of vague Arabia. I think it's yeah, and you're I'm he's there on a gap year and he's just mad and he's just

a mad guy on a gap here. If he met j he's just mad and instead of a parrot, I've got a pigeon. It's really good. Actually, yeah, thanks man, thank you? What is the thank you? What is the worst date or time you ever had a film? Okay, Brett, now this is going to upset you, but I've been I've been waiting to have this argument with you for a long time, and it's not related to my company. Or the time necessarily that I went to this film.

It's all about the film itself, and the answer is, Annette, it's one of the worst films I've ever seen in my life, and I know you love it, and I can't believe it. You went to see and there at the cinema. At the cinema. It was the day after my wedding. That's really the best day of your life. You follow the best day of your life, best day of my life, with the worst film I've ever seen, and I couldn't. My wife is a huge fan of Sparks, so she was absolutely to se this film, and I

am now a huge fan of Sparks as well. I think their music is great. I love the Edgar Wright documentary about them. I think it's fantastic. So we went to see this film in a little cinema in a place where we were staying the day after our wedding. I was obviously hungover. Fine, I will, I'll give them that that. I was hungover and not necessarily in the best mood for a film. Yeah, but it started so well. That opening song in a net is absolutely brilliant, and

then it goes off a fucking cliff that film. It is so deliberately it's deliberately weird. It thinks it thinks it's so cool. Adam Driver thinks he's so cool and he's boring. At no point I was watching that and I was just thinking, imagine hanging out with this guy. Oh yeah, and his stand up is arguably not stand up. It's one of the that is one of the worst. I know, it's not supposed to be like a straight stand up show or whatever, but it is still one of the worst stand up scenes in any film or

television or history. Yeah, what is weird is in the credits it's like thanks too. I think it's like Bill Burr and Chris Rock like helped out with the Adam Driver with it, but I'm like, he's not doing stand up. It doesn't seem to be stand up. Like I didn't mind it as in. I was like, well, you're not doing this is something, and then what you're doing but it isn't stand up. It's well, if Bill Burr and Chris Rock helped out with that, then they were absolutely

troll the hell out of Adam Driver. They're like, yeah, yeah, don't we do this. That's my impression of both of them melting together. It's really good. Thanks man. Yeah, I would also argue, if we're going to have this argument, I don't think it thinks it's cool. It doesn't make well. I think it's being I never know what the word is, but is the word camp like. It's like a bitch, it's sort of deliberately a bit shit like. And then it doesn't look real nothing, and it looks real they're

on a boat, but they're not on a boat. It's all very extreme. I don't know. I guess the actrical. Theatrical would be the word, because you know, it sort of looks almost like a stage production sometimes. But just the tone in which the whole film's delivered, and the fact they're using a puppet and they're just they oh god, the whole thing just really just just really sat with me awfully. Just something about the tone. The puppet's so good,

the puppet's not good. You know, I love a puppet. Also, are you telling me the worst film you have a scene as Adam Driver singing into Marianne COTTI has a vagina. You can't by that point, I can't be in your worst film. Just for that moment alone. It is I didn't even fall asleep. I was willing myself to fall asleep,

and I just couldn't at one point. At one point, Charlie went to the toilet and then came back about five minutes later, and I had to explain to everything that had happened, and I just got bored halfway to explaining it. Would you say, he's got the you know, the geze are at a Big Bang theory, which he's just sort of pushed him in a pool for some reason. He's pushed the Gezer from Big Bang foods now in the sort of being drowned in the pool because he's

trying to make the baby sing a song or something. Yeah, anyway, he's just yelled in her fanny. He's usually fanny as a megaphone. Again, what did Charlie hate it as well? Your wife? No, I think she liked it more than me. She did like it more than me, and also just found it hilarious how much I hated it, So I think deliberately started talking about how good it was, just to get on my nerves even more. It's really good. I stand by it, and the yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm

glad that was your honeymoon. If he could live in the world of one film. Which film would it be? The Truman Show? Really, what are you crazy? Here's what I think, Brett. I think that guy really look looks a gift horse in the mouth. I think he's got a lovely life, and then he finds out that it's all all set up for him, and then all he wants to do is escape. Why would you do that?

If I found out that my life had been set up to be lovely for me and it was being filmed and shown to everyone, I'd absolutely just keep quiet about it and just get on with my lovely life. Wow, it's a nice heart take. It's really nice. Yeah, what's he We don't see what happens when he gets out, but he's probably like, oh, fucking he I'm getting it's a nightmare. I've got fucking getting new gas bill and stuff like, yeah, exactly, the admin. There's serious admin that

he have to go to get out. Where's he going to live? Yeah? You know, I never thought about that. Be happy with what you've got. I think should be the message of Truman Show. Truman Show too, should just be him back in back in the Truman Show, him banging on the door, of the TV Let me back. I'm so sorry exactly. I didn't realize I have to pay mortgages. This is all I have no actual skills. Let me back it in. I'd love it. That's a

really heart take. So if you found out you're well with the TV show, which it could be, and I'm not saying anything, I'm not saying yeah, not for me to say if it is or it, sure would you try and sort of sneak some like it'd be great if this sort of thing happened, like some story notes, you know what I mean. Yeah? Maybe? Well, first off, if I found out I was the lead in the TV show and this was all created for me, I'd

be very happy for the active work, you know. Yeah, it's whether i'd put my own life on my CV because I don't know if they'd be able to take that as a because they'd all be acting within the same show. Yeah, I see, you'd be trying to be an actor in the Gamble show. Yeah, I'd probably to get other parts within the Ed Gamble show. I'd put the Ed Gamble Show on the on my CD. Yeah.

If I was an actor in the Ed Gamble Show, I'd set up I'd probably set up a production company within this show to try and make other things, because I think I'd be like, I don't know what, it's quite boring this show. There's a lot of like sitting. He just sits around. Yeah, we don't see each other. Yeah. Also, it's annoying that if this is the ed Gamble Show, if you are getting you're getting way more work than me within my own show. Within this show. Yeah, well

that's part. I think we've panned it. Your low surface team tested highly. They wanted to keep it. So you just have to give my friends like loads of ye Hollywood film work and stuff. Yeah, exactly, it's good. It's good stuff they like because it gives you somewhere to go and stuff, you know what I mean. Yeah, exactly, No, I'm happy with that. I mean, you know, a lot's happened in the end Gamble show. There was the ship off the roof. Yeah, that tested very high. That was

that was that went out at Christmas that. They haven't answered that, but I genuinely believe that. I think I think he's really pathetic for wanting to get out of that. Why do you always want want something that you can't see? Just enjoy your lovely life. He goes out of his house every morning, people say, good morning, Truman. It sounds lovely. Yeah, well, I mean genuinely, I've never heard anyone talk about that. That's huge, and I think I think it's a really

good point. And I would like to have seen what happened when he got out of the studio. Yeah, because he needs a bank account, you know what I mean, Like he needs passport. It's a nightmare. Yeah, it would have been. It would have been an absolute nightmare, and it wouldn't It won't be a good film when he

gets out. It would be really depressing. Yeah, he's really famous and he doesn't have anywhere to go, so everyone's likely shit, there's trument from the Humans show just went around, but he's I don't know where to go, and I've never even seen he'd be in. He'd be in like a BuzzFeed article in two years time, being like you'll never guess what Truman's doing now, and it would be him like working on a road somewhere. Yeah, and there'll be lots of like TMZ updates of Truman. Yeah, and

he's just gonna leave me alone. It's so cold, it's actually not a bad idea for a film. BRep, write that down, Okay, thank you. What is your favorite children's film? Struggled slightly with this one because are we saying that

like Pixarre children's films? Because the majority of people who love Pixar, as far as I'm concerned, are adults, especially like there's some there's some strands of Pixar films that I think adults enjoy more than children, like the sad ones like Coco, and they're all soul and stuff like that.

But the ones that are now where they've realized they're sad and they basically they go all out for the sadness and they'll out that, yeah, I know they're all sad, but now I think they're absolutely just swinging for it every time. And they try and make them, they try and make them profound from from the start. They don't start the characters. They start with the profound statement and then they build the characters around it. So I don't

think those personally, I wouldn't call those kids films. So I'll just say Mighty Ducks. Have you watched the Mighty Ducks, Ree Ducks or whatever it's called. The TV show? I've watched a bit of the TV show. I was enjoying it, but I fell away from it for some reason. But the original Mighty Ducks film is an absolute masterpiece. Yeah,

it's the best ensemble kids cast. And I know School of Rock, you could you could say, you know, that's probably the best on someone kids cast, But I think Mighty Ducks doesn't get a look in in that conversation enough. I think it's absolutely fantastic. What a hero hero and the insult it brought us the insult cake eater, which I still don't understand but I still use on a regular basis. Mate, No, but that seems like an insult

aimed at diabetic set of thought. Yeah you would. I thought of all the people, you'd be like, you fucking cake eater, one of That's what I say about other about non diabetics, right, yeah, bunche of cake eaters. I love it. It's I love the fat kid and Goal absolutely brilliant. I love that. It's that's a body positive character. Yes, he's bigger than the rest of the kids. Stick him

in goal. He's useful, it's really funny. He's buddy positive, he's of use Yeah, they don't say get in shape, they go if anything, No, they're all really they're all really, really good. And I think there's some sort of early performances from from actors who are still working to the what I say that Joshua Jackson is one of the leads in Mighty Ducks is one of the kids, which what what is the film that you didn't think you

would like but you ended up love it? Now I write this answer down, and then I listened to James A. Castor's episode of this and he picked this film but in a completely different, complete, different categories. So I'm just going to say it anyway, but this represents a type of film that I don't wouldn't normally go for because of the way it's presented in the poster, et cetera. And it's the farewell. Why did you think you wouldn't

like this? Because I tend to limit myself in the sorts of films I will go and see and push myself towards because I love genre films. I love horror, I love sci fi, I love anything like that, and I will rarely deliberately seek out a film that looks like it's going to be a bit sad or thinky and the poster just bumms me out for this film. It just looks like it's going to be so boring and I don't want to see it and blah blah blah blah blah, we're going to make this point. No,

thank you, there's no explosions, there's no time loops. I don't care. But I've forced myself to go and see it because I had some times killed in London and I thought it was just absolutely amazing, absolute, Like I was bawling afterwards. I thought it's such an incredible film that it's it's a point of view that I have never heard before that like it's presented that we're gonna be the film that they're you know, they're they're lying to this this person about the fact that they're dying.

But then it's seen as a good thing at the end and you're completely on board. You're completely on board with that point of view. And it's one that I've never heard before. And afterwards I was like, oh, maybe I am Maybe I am a thinky guy. Maybe I like a weepy thinker. I think you are sad and thinking, yeah, but you're in denial about it. I love the Farewell and yeah, that point of when the cousin says to her,

She's like, we have to tell the truth. You have to tell him, and he goes you that's such a Western way of thinking. And it's only because you don't want the responsibility of taking her paint. Yeah, I'm like, it's proper, it's it's Pixar profound. Yeah, really sad thinking stuff I've never I've just yeah, I think it's probably one of the only films I've seen that has completely flipped my point of view on something. So yeah, probably that, And has it made me go and see more films

that the poster puts me off? Probably not? What is what? How? Here we go the thing you most? What is the single most erotic moment in a film? Now? Again, I wish I could give you an answer that's like, oh, is this film where it's just eye contact and wool, it's so erotic? You know what I find erotic? Real human connection. But I'll say eight Mile when he fucks her in the factory, that which also has eye contact and real human connection. It does, it does, but also

you know the bit where it just goes in. So you've got you've got the single most erotic moment Dan to a second second. Yea, the bit, the bit where it goes in in the factory eight and R I P. And that is specific respect than you good film, good film, don't come up in there. No, I see, so speak don't come up in there? Which film you don't care about as a whole has a single sequence that you fucking love. This was really easy, And I know you've only done one of these before, but this is going

to come up a lot. I think this because this came to me so quickly. It's the only thing it can be. It's the slow motion Evan Peters as Quicksilver scene in X Men Days of Future Past. Right, all of the modern X Men films I'm not that on board with. I think I think they're I think they're fine. You know, I've seen them all. Days of Future Past is all right, it's better than Apocalypse. But there is the scene where he runs around the kitchen and just

like touching stuff, he puts his headphones on. It's all slows down. It's so beautifully shot. It looks absolutely amazing, Like he rearranges the bullets that people have fired. Makes a man punch himself in the face, and he looks completely there's this chaos seen around him and he's completely at peace, and it just looks so beautiful. And then the payoff of it when everything speaks back up again, is so good. It's like quite slapstick, quite good fun.

And I love it. I absolutely love it. If you go onto YouTube, there's that scene on YouTube. It's had sixty two million views, and that shows you that that scene is incredible and it is a pearl in a sea of mundanity. Wow. Okay, have you seen it? Yeah, but I would have thought this. Listen, you already said in this in Judgment Day. You already said, look at a net. Take the opening sequence of a net. You didn't like a net, but you love that fucking sequence

at the beginning. Yeah. Maybe not as much as a man running around the kitchen, but I think the comparison with a net would be like, I think I loved it because I look back on it and I think I quite enjoyed it. And in comparison to how I felt about the rest of the film, I must have sort of readjusted how I feel about it. But that scene in the kitchen, Oh boy, that's the only answer you're ever going to get Brett because it's the only true answer to that question. Okay, well let's see how

we get there with your positive affirmation. So I'm a bit worried we didn't talk about eight Mile enough. You moved on from that quite quick. Well, I just thought, what do you think about the bit where it goes in and eight Mile? Yeah? You know, I'm I'm I always like things going in. I think it's a great bit. I like eight Mile. I don't know why he didn't do any more films after that, Eminem. I guess he just wants to focus on he's rapping because he's good

in it. But he didn't really focus on his rapping either, because he's really good in eight Mile, and I would have liked to have seen him do do a little bit more. I suppose it's sort of the definitive film for him, right, Yeah? Did he win anything for that? Did he get nominated for an Oscar or anything? I can't remember. I think I'm sure he won an EMPTV Award for the bit where it goes in for the bit, yeah,

best bit, the best bit where it goes in. They probably do that thing, because you know they always do best kiss Usually the the the actors come on stage at the awards and kiss. I wonder if they as society collapses, they do best bit where it goes in, and then they do that on stage. I'd say collapses maybe elevates, elevates when society truly reaches its full potential. The MTV Award for the best bit where it goes in, where we lose all shame and just have happy people

just putting it in on stage to celebrate. You'd host that awards, haven't you. Absolutely you'd be the rookie devase of the bit where it goes in Awards. You've got to get gold stealing. He absolutely roasts everyone on the way it goes in, and then you see it go in and you realize, oh no, the only roast of the things he loves. What what is the film that stayed with you the longest after seeing it? I'm going to say ex Stends, Great, great, great extens I absolutely

love Existends. And there's a specific bit where they're sort of going through the bones of an animal they've eaten and he makes a gun out of it that I think every time I eat a roast chicken. I think about that ever since the day I saw it. If I eat a roast chicken and I'm just slicing the roast chicken, I see all the bones. I think I remember that bit of Existens where they build a gun

out of the bones. Do I mean, have you ever tried the leg leg bones in the shape of a gun and pretended to shoot it, Charlie, or do you not know how to do? Everybody spying on me? Well, no, because I wouldn't want to do that because then that's

already a sort of gun shape. Right. The good thing about Existens is that everything clicks together like sort of macanno, and they make this little gun out of it, and it's one of the it's so weird, like all that like Cronenberg sort of body horror weirdness, I think is the stuff that sticks with you the most, because I have no idea where that idea came from in a brain?

Who comes up with that? I think he was probably eating roast chicken with his hands, and they thought because I thought that yesterday I had a chicken leg and I did think, Yeah, it's the shape of a gun in it. That's how it works. It's going it's the shape of a gun. And that it's going. There's a film in that also Existens. Is it one of the first films to use capital letters in the wrong place? Quite possibly? That's a great shout. Yeah, is it the

ex and Z capital? Yeah, yeah, it's definitely the zed And you're like, oh, I think it might have led the been the leading the way on that text text titles. Yeah, it doesn't get talked about enough. Existends, I think No. I think it was a brilliant film. It's another like virtual reality sort of type genre film that I quite I quite enjoy, Like you never know whether it's real or not. I like films where you never know whether it's real or not. That's the Deandra. Yeah, what is

the film here? We gets a nice one? It's a nice one. It what's the film that made you feel better about the world? Oh? Mad Max Fury Road? Because there's two ways of thinking about this, Brett, isn't it? You can either go, oh, this lovely film. Aren't people good? Everyone looks after each other, humans are basically decent when it comes down to it, and isn't love brilliant and loves love? Or you could think, oh, thank god, we're our Weld's not like that? And that's how I feel

about Mad Max Fury Road. I absolutely loved it. It's an incredible film, but I did come out of it going, oh, well, don't think I could cope very well if it was like Mad Max Fury Road in real life. Can you drive it? Because you can't drive? No, I can drive, and I'd love to. I'd love a goal. I'd love a goal on one of those trucks. I can't play guitar, sadly, so I couldn't be. But I don't like the idea of, you know, fighting over water or no, although that horrible

thing that's in charge, I don't like that one bit. Yeah, you wouldn't want to go near the horrible thing in charge, but it might be fun riding the trucks around the desert. Like, yes, you don't want to be strapped to the front of the truck play guitar? No, sure, but if you're in the track it's got aircon it we don't know. No, that doesn't like a world where there's aircon. Yeah, you probably need a bit of water for that. Yeah, I don't think there's aircon. I think you know, everyone's fighting

over water. It doesn't look like a nice world. It's fun to drop in and watch for a couple of hours. Sure, but do I want the world to be like that? Absolutely not. So you come out of watching a film like that and you look around and our world in a complete tip. Yes, but it's no Mad Max Fury Road, is it. It's not Mad Max Fury Road. That's true. We don't have women chained up to what are they? What are they being milked for? Are they being milked?

What's that being milked? Yeah? They're being milts. Oh horrible, absolutely horrible. Okay, what a great film though, What a great film. And it's the only answer to the question what film made you feel better about the world? Again? You'll be a lot, I'll be I'm sure. I'm absolutely sure that's going to keep popping up anyone answer. It's such a good film. And they you know, when people always well, not people Mark Kerr Made, for example, he's

always show, don't tell, Show don't tell. Sometimes I'm like, yeah, but I really like dialogue where people talk, Please tell me what's going on? Mad Max Fury Raid is a real masterpiece of storytelling that has almost no dialogue and you really follow the story and it's really exciting, and it just fucking goes and goes. What does the script? I wonder what the script looks like for a film like that. I think a heavy description. I really I

think he literally storyboarded shot by shot. He had it all. I think the script was like that was panels of like this is this, this is this, with a couple of lines here and there he plays a guitar. Yeah, it will be unreadable if it was. If it was like and then they get in the truck and they drive so fast, just aagine it. Just imagine it. It's such a good scriptwriting tip occasionally reminds you of reader. To imagine it. Just imagine it. They stare at each other.

Imagine it. It's intense in a way, hopefully depending on the performances and the lighting and whatnot. Just imagine it's just inst When I write scripts, they always start with now, you're not going to be able to see a lot of this because it's just on paper. But you're just gonna have to imagine it. You know. My my friend he used to say to me he had an idea of like how to do stand up, and he said you should open with saying this will make you laugh

before you tell your jokes. It's so funny. It's so funny. It's like a Darren Brown trick. And the next thing you know, they're laughing and they don't know why. This will make you laugh, Supermarkets, this will make you laugh. It's good. It's a good it's a good tip for a script. Were Also a good thing to do is in like the directions for every line you put acted well, Yes, so they know that it's going to be acted well. Which is your favorite couple in a film? The only

one answer? Again, absolutely definitive, and I believe this to be the definitive answer. Mister and Missus potato Head from the Tragic, Tragic, heartbreaking Quadrility towards Thory teenty three and four. Yeah, it's the only answer. They're the perfect They're the perfect couple. They're literally made for each other. Were they they cover other than they fit together? Just the back and forth between them. I love how I love how caring she

is for him. She packs his angry eyes. That might be one of my favorite lines in any film ever, about the angry eyes packing his angry eyes in his backpack. I just think they're very comfortable with each other. There's just comfort and they're back. They're back and forth. They're fun, they banter with each other. They're both potatoes. I think it's weird that they look so similar. I think it's weird when couples look quite similar. But I'm willing to

get over that. Mister and missus potato head. Happens a lot, doesn't it. When in your wedding list I couldn't come to didn't you call your wife missus potato head? That's our middle names. Now we've changed our middle names to potato head. I'm Edward Stephens and potato head? Gamble, Yeah, what about these couples that look are like it? Well? Is it narcissisism? Is it like, yeah, you fancy a mirror? Is that what it is? I think it must be.

I think there must be an element of that or caution, sort of subliminal caution that if we have kids, I want to make sure they look exactly like me. So the best way of ensuring that is if the person I make the kid with already looks exactly like me? Or is it maybe on a positive? Is it like? Is it safe? Is it like when they look like me and I'm safe? So they must be safe. Is that it? Maybe just? I mean, either way you look at it, it's not it's not good, is it. I

mean mister and missus potato Head couldn't help it. I think I think were thrust together in Andy's room, right, So there's not really many options. I thinks this is a bit more sort of species dependent, you know what I mean. I don't think missus tato Head can get with the t rex or a human. I think potato heads are potatoe heads. And I'm not saying listen, I'm like, love is love, but I think similarly to you having sex with a dog, I think if potato Head had

sex with the springy thing, it wouldn't be right. I think he can only be with missus. Do you think that would be really frowned upon in Andy's room if like mister potato Head got off with bow people or something. Yeah, I think amongst I think they'd be like a meeting, and Woody would call a meeting and be like guys, species dependent. Bo Peep can't find the slinky dog all right, and both people's like, oh but what if what if no one's watching? What if Andy's out? It's not about Andy.

This this is about us. We're all here. If mister Potato had got off with bo Peep, say, or would he Yeah, it would be would it be Woody or bo Peep? Who are in the wrong there because mister potato to potato? Or is the fact he's a sentient potato because of the sac of the life. Yeah, that's a great question in the way that you know, like yeah, people who do be telling you say that the horse was into it or whatever you mean like that, and you're like, well, the horse cart speak, mister tato head

can speak. So if mister potatohead is saying, no, I really wanted to have sex with Woody, Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I would bring that to Andy if I was running toys, they'd be like, Andy lit full disclosion. We were alive and we can talk. Sorry, I should have so that out of the way. I was never gonna we were never gonna reveal this, But something's come up. Would you miss tatoad have had sex? They both say

they wanted it. Mister head, as you know, is sentience. Sorry, you just found out how he probably still in his shop anyways, like hello, and Woody's just shaking his head, like couldn't have kept this? Like, Andy, is it okay that they had to sex? Or is do we have to lock up? Wouldy or potato Head? What does Andy say? I think to be honest, and he's going to be so shot that his toys and talking to him for a start. I think he's going to stamp on them

until they're dead. I think that he's going to panic if his toy starts speaking to him, and he's going to try and kill them. I think definitely, because they're existing in a in a pick up a toy store, but from Andy's point of view, he's now suddenly in child's play. Yeah, yeah, exactly. That that's terrifying, especially if you find out your toys can talk and they've been doing stuff while you've been out the room. And then also they're asking you whether it's okay for a potato

to fuck a woman? Yeah? Or a cowboy or a cowboy? Yeah. It's like, can does missus potato Head have like a dick and a butthole in his backpack that he can take around with him? The worst thing is just thinking it through. I'm thinking he's using his nose, just in a different position. I think he's popping that on the undercarriage and you know, and sticking it in with his drawerstring. Probably. Yeah, I'm thinking Woods the victim. If there is word listen, yeah,

I think they're all it's consensual, right, yeah, yeah, it's fine. Okay, Well that's Toy Story five taken care of. Thank you. We'll wait for you. Just imagine it. We'll wait for the just imagine it. What film inspired you ed Gamble to do something? Three Ninjas and three Ninjas hinhen at Mega Mountain because they have cool names. They give themselves like ninja names, and me and my friend Henry Bot watched that when we're in school, and so we decided

to give ourselves really cool names. Was the name you gave him, Henry Bott? No, no, no, that was his real name. He already had a cool name, Okay, Henry Bott and Gamble best friends forever, not spoken to him in a while, So we decided to give ourselves call names and really and we really pushed them as well.

So the next day at school we were out loowed calling each other these names, so everyone else would would pick up on them, and then it felt quite weird, so we did ditch them after a while he was hands and I was Blade, I mean bladeer get hands because he wanted to be like known for a thing, and I think he wanted to be good, known for good, sort of like karate work and catching stuff. And blade I just thought sounded cool karate and catching, did Henry. But I don't know if you want to be called

hands like hands. Yeah, hands, Henry Bott was hands and your hands and Blade. Also, if you say hands, it just sounds like you're talking to like a German guy, right, Yeah, it doesn't quite it doesn't quite work. So I think they only lasted a day really that we were Hands and Blade. But that's that's genuinely the only film that's inspired me to do anything. Did anyone else come, you know on that journey with you Hands and Blade? No, we were quite insular, quite an insular friendship. No one

else had watched Three Ninjas. No one was as cool as us. Well, he's the Henry bought a text now saying you miss him. No, I don't think I will do that. He lives in Vietnam, so I don't know what the time difference is. Best friends forever, best friends forever, Hands and Blade. What would your ninja name be Brett Jumpy. Jumpy, Yeah, likes to be known for jumping. Really yeah, because you've got listen, we're gonna have to be a team right

after henrybody. You've already got blades, don't care of. We've got some with their hands. You need jumping. You're being jumpy as well. But it's amazing that jump jump is. Yeah, you didn't. You didn't go with like frog or something, you know, or jump jumps would have been probably tough. Jump would have been better than jumpy. But he's jump jump jump. He sounds like something a kid would call

a jumper, So get pretty put on. He's jumpy, you say that, but when we're trying to get up a buildings the top first jumping over here, yeah, jump jump, he's dropping down the right hands is putting himself up his hands. You're hacking your way up the wall. Yeah, with my blades. We all eventually get there, and that's why we a good team. Jumpy blade to blade in hands with the megas. The three d injuries called us for the reboot. Thank you so much. We're fucking making

money on this part. Yeah, man, well ed gamble, we've reached the end. And I have to weigh up your good deeds, and you're bad. Yes, you married your wife. Also you relentlessly cheated on that. But you had some good thoughts on films, particularly the Truman Show. I can't yet decide. We're on a knife edge. You can offer to give me one film that is meaningful to you in the hope that I will spare you. Then I will make my decision. What is it, ed, gamble? So?

How how meaningful to have to be to me? Okay? What should I say? Blade? Please give my full name, Blade Potato d gamble Um? Meaningful? Tricky really, isn't it? But so I'm just gonna have to go with the film I saw recently and I really liked it the vich it's pretty good. It's absolutely brilliant. I couldn't believe I hadn't seen it until recently. I love heavy metal, and I think it's the most heavy metal film available.

Explain a cult darkness, just pure horror. I think it's no, there's there's no. I don't think there's much feeling in that film. I think it's just it's quite raw and I I really, I really enjoyed it. And Finch's in it. Yeah, is very good. Is that why you love heavy metal? No feeling? Is that your description of it? No, it

depends what sort of depends what mood I'm in. I quite like sort of very aggressive, like like grindcore horrible stuff, which is just like straight ahead rumbling riffs, sort of buzz saw riffs sometimes and screaming and blast beats and all of that stuff. And that's what that film reminded me of, just straight out the gates, absolute horrifics stuff. That black Goat. Oh man, that goat. Maybe I want to play the goat in a film. Maybe that's maybe

maybe I should have been the goat. I should have said that earlier for the character I most want to play in a film. Why do you like that stuff? Because I just I respect that artistic decision to just go for it, to just really go for it and

have that. And I like films with just insane final scenes as well, like that and ending Hill List and any any film like that that just has just builds to the same with Hereditary as well, just builds to just like absolute full insanity and you don't know how you got there from the start of the film, Like if you showed someone the first scene, in the last scene of those films, you'd be like, what the fuck

happened in the middle? Yeah, oh oh, Ed, I guess I've got to make a decision Edwards Stevenson, Blade Potato Head Gamble. Based on your thoughtful hot takes and dancers and vibes, I'm to send you to heaven. Hooray, you made it. Yes, less, I decide on a fourth part and bring you back to line to kill you again. We'll see enjoy yourself in heaven. You're a good boy,

actually big strong boy. I mean, of course, yeah, of course you're going to decide on a fourth part because look, I listened to this podcast and I listened to the episode where you said, well, you know, it's probably about time for me to take some time off. Actually I'm really busy, and then there wasn't a gap, just carried on the whole month. Oh month, I'm so tired, he gamble. Is there anything you would like to tell people to look for, listen to or follow or eat depends. I'm

on tour from September, depending on when this comes up. One.
