Tell me about your You've been very well now, right, I've been here four months now, but I mean I've been here maybe five years now. I've lived on and our five years, but now I've kind of more permanently. Also because it's it's it's probably the most open place I can stay in um in terms of like everything

is open. And then also it's it's very difficult to move around the world right now, so you just gotta stay pard. You've got bigger place in stack are you? There? Are you doing just stand up? There? Are you doing other things? Doing stand up? And other things? I eat as well? Oh yeah, yeah, I have sandwiches, have coffee, so by other things. If that's what you mean, that's what I do. Yeah, I guess. So how's the stand up going. That's cool. I mean stand up is great.

Audiences back to normal in London. Everything is back to normal in London. I was in a football game, fifty five thousand people, no mask in site. Really what was the game? As? No talkingham Okay, we're never talking about that. So it's it's lovely to have you here. Do you like films? No, I'm not, like, I'm not like a film person. Then you've come to the right podcast because I don't. I mean I watched films, but I don't have I don't necessarily have an academic understanding of them.

That's okay, Like I don't know. I just go that's a good film, that was a bad film, or I enjoyed that. I didn't enjoy that. I don't. I don't have like I wouldn't be able to write the thesis about the movie. Okay, Well, you were sent some homework and one of the things on home was to send me three thesis and I haven't received any of them. I don't know if that's gonna be a problem. I'm any best with ye. I do I enter actus movies. I'm just not a movie buff, is what I'm saying. Yeah,

that's Okay, that's very good. Yeah, tell me about your late night show that you had in South Africa. How long was that one? It was? It was we were on for like six years. Fuck like the Daily Show or something like that, but yeah, it was, it was. It was. It was like that, but we did so African politics and we weren't on. I mean, we didn't get canned or anything. I quit. I just like, I'm died of doing this and I wanted I couldn't travel as much as I would and we had gotten too

Emmy nominations. It was great, man. We were we were we were cool. We were like in a great groove in a zone, and I just made the decision to get out of there. Six years a long time. How many how many it was every night of the week now once a week, once a week. Okay, how many a season would you? Like? Fourteen weeks? We did about one hundred and fifty episodes. I think, wow, shit, Yeah

that's a lot. Yeah, yeah, it was a lot. I mean, if you love that kind of stuff, it's great, But if you just want to get on stage and perform, it takes up a lot of your time. Yeah, for sure, to do that kind of thing. Do you ever miss it? Or are you glad it's so done? I'm so glad it's done. Yeah, I'm glad it's done. I really not in a bad way. It's like it's like doing. It's like I like the fact that I can exit stuff. You know. That's why I don't think kids for me,

because you can't exit kids. Yeah, it's a tricky one that there's not there's not many ways of getting out of kids. I suppose you could give them up for adoption at any at any point, I suppose that's the any card. Yeah, yeah, so so that Yeah, so what I'm That's what I'm saying. It's like, it's quite um, you gave your shot up for adoption. That would be that would be a very bizarre thing to explain to other humans. One other thing I wanted to ask you. I didn't know this and then this was on your

Wikipedia pace. Maybe it is not true. But your brother also does stand up? Is that correct? Yeah? How is that between you two? Is it you were to do you gig together? Are you competitive with each other? Is there any Is it interesting? We have two different styles? Yeah, my brother is more of a director. My brother does a lot of things. He directs commercials, he's like um in the advertising world. He writes for shows, he does way more than Okay, he's very multi So, I mean,

we don't really even compete about stuff. We don't compete at all. Have you ever done shows together and it's not You're never like I got more laughs than you tonight? No? Good, No, none at all. We don't. We don't. No, no, it sounds like you've got a very healthy relationship. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we do. We really do it. We're cool. Me and him are Me and him are in a very good place. That's very nice to hear, Louisa. I've forgotten to tell you something, and I probably should have told you, maybe

even before we met. I could have texted you or I feel like an idiot. But we're recording now. Yeah, I'll just say it and then we'll deal with it. I guess. But I'm sorry. But you Oh, here we go. You've died. You're dead? Okay, Yeah, I'm sorry. How did you die? I I was in the subway. Someone just pushed me, pushed you into the path of an oncoming train. Yeah, on the London Undergrad Yeah? Was it a fan? Who was this? It? Was just a drunk human really not

target It wasn't targeted random, it was extremely random. Wow. No, I mean literally, no one's died that way on this show. That's quite It's quite a it was seemingly gruesome. But yeah, yeah, it was not as painful as people would anticipate like it was for you. It was pretty instant. Yeah, it was pretty instant. Hit the hit the ground and then got run over or the train hit you as you were falling. It was pretty simultaneous. It was just right.

It was like falling before I even hit the crowd. Right. Do you worry about death? No, not entirely. I think about it. I think about like what would people say in my obituary? Like what would people say at my funeral? What would they say like? What would they like, whether they lying or being truthful? What would they or what would they think of me? What would they like? How would they go? How would they remember me as a human being? Can you take a guess and do do

your eulogy for me? Now? No, I don't do it like that. I think about it, like, you know, I'm interested. The only thing I it's like I wish I could hear how other humans consumed me right, like, I don't imagine it. I wonder about, oh man, how how, which is essentially just probably asking myself, how am I living my life? More than more than sort of thinking about like how what the speech would be? I'd be like, oh man, would they would people think that I'm living

a full life? Would they think I'm lazy? Would they think I'm inconsiderate? You know that kind of stuff. I would I don't. I don't. I haven't formulated into a speech in my head. That's what if we if we're taking stock of it today, what do you think they think in terms of are you living your fullest life? I don't know. I mean, what do you think? It doesn't matter what I think is what I'm saying. I'm saying that, Remember you don't get when when when someone

is talking on your behalf and you're dead. The point is that you can't, you can't represent yourself. So it doesn't some people think they were helping out, and the people are like that person was a deck or whatever whatever the situation is, and so like, what's what's extremely interesting to me is that whatever effort and whatever you're trying to do might not yield the final result that you actually want, and sometimes you gotta be at peace

with that. So for me, I'm not. I'm I'm less obsessed with whether I'm living life full or not because it doesn't matter what direction I'm going. And at the end of the day, is how the world's received because all the stuff I'm doing for the world in the world around other people and how are they viewing that? What do you do you believe in enoughter life? What do you think happens when you die? I don't even think that's important. I find that's not so important. I

think if it is, it is. There's no real evidence there, there is tangible evidence, and by definition, the term belief means that something that can't be proven, but you hang on to a hope that it does exist. So as Africans, well specifically Southern Africans, we believe, No, we don't believe.

We believe. We do believe in an afterlife, and we have rituals and prayers and things that insinuate as an afterlife, but that you know, there's no real scientific evidence that could be used in a modern context that proves that do I believe it? Yes? And do I adhere to that yes, but has that got to do with my belief or just a sense of identity. It could be just a sense of identity. So those are the things I tend to like grapple with. Can you tell me

what the images of the afterlife of the afterlife? Yeah, I don't know. I just I mean, I've never thought of it. Never thought of the afterlife. I've never thought I really haven't. I mean, never thought of it. Absolutely never thought of it. Can you think of it? Now? I'm not a spontaneous human in that sense, I think. Yeah, I mean I don't know what's the afterlife look like?

M Am, I ruining your podcast? Am? I Like, I mean for me to say, you see what I'm Yeah, so because I'm like, I don't know if what does the afterlife look like? Oh? My god, I don't know. I don't know. I mean, yeah, I think I'm just blocking my brain from thinking about it. I don't know. Okay, Well, I've got I've got. I can tell you. The thing is, we can shortcut this and I can tell you because there is a heaven and what it looks like is

what's your favorite thing? I was probably watching a football game. Rights it's a football stadium. It's a fuck. It's fucking Wembley. It's it's this beautiful football stadium. And who your friends are there and all the people that love you and all your favorite football is they're all there. Everyone's hanging out. It's very chilled, but it's cool. There's football if you want. And also everyone they're they're very excited to see you, but they want to talk to you about your life

through films. Much they love football, they also love film and they've heard what a massive film buff you are, and they've read all your thesis that you write before you die on film and they want to get into it with you. And the first thing they ask is what is the first film you remember seeing. The crazy thing about the way I've consumed film is that I really only really started speaking English properly from probably the

age of nine ten. Okay, so only the movies that we really enjoyed, and my first sort of bunch of movies we watched were kung fu movies. Oh yeah, yeah, we only when I was young, we only just watched Kongfu movies. It was a Saturday. You pay a certain amount of money and then you watch kung fu movies and it was, you know at the cinema, this one at the cinema, like so it would be like a hole and then they would have a project out will project these films and then you know, every every Saturday

would be cool. And so that's my first memory of like film and just going out and watching something. And then when when I was like slightly older, I enjoyed going to the cinema. I remember like me and my friends going to watch James Bond. I think it was Golden I Golden Yeah, that was in that came out of ninety six or something ninety six seven or even even earlier like ninety five. Yeah, yeah, I remember us being excited to see that and going to Golden Acre

Cinema and it was amazing. Nice. Did you want to do Kung Foo? Did you come out of these Kung fry films? Oh? Yeah you. As soon as I got out of there, we would just imitate those things and make a sound effect. And it was the thing about the thing about films is that if they in English and you don't speak English, it doesn't make sense. And so with kung fu movies, it was great because there was no land. It was even if you were like an English speaker, the most the most exciting thing about

the kung fu movies the actual fighting. Yes, so imagine now you don't have any idea what they're saying, and then all you're excited about is the fighting. And then you're like, oh, this is amazing, and they just keep fighting all the time. It's amazing. It was just for me, it was just the most amazing thing. That's cool. Do you have a favorite kung fu movie? I remember watching Enter the Dragon. Enter the Dragon was a great film.

But Enter the Dragon was it was clean, it was chris It was like it was like a Hollywood production but too much. You must remember, like the movies that I was accustomed to. It was just the forest of Hong Kong and people are just beating the crap out of each whatever the hell it did, you know what I mean. And so it was great. So that was and so when I when I saw Enter the Dragon, I could tangibly see the shine. Yeah, this is this is a much shinier product. They're scene. I thought that

was amazing. Yeah, so I would say Enter the Dragon because the other ones I didn't it had a story. The other ones who kind of like the same It's like it's like your average Hollywood drum com, your average Bollywood movie, your average all these stories are kind of like the same. And so it's the same with the Kong from the same as the Revenge. It. Then you're like, Okay, cool, I get it. But Enter the Dragon just had a little thing to it, had had a little polish to

it that I really like. It's the money behind Yeah. Yeah. What's the film that scared you the most? Do you like being scared? Do you get scared? Yeah? This scared me the most. Um oh, what was the one with the clown back in the day? Man, it's it's I remember staying up late on a Saturday to watch it and it freaked me the hell out. Yeah, um yeah it was. It was and and uh, Chuck, what's the Chuck? Chuck? Chuck?

Child Play? Those two movies I remember as a child being extremely scary and being like extremely scared to like watch Yeah, yeah, the originally It's fucking scary and Child's Play. I mean they got similar faces, amn't I Yeah, I think I think I did watch the original it that's the one that freaked me out. Yeah. Yeah. Do you do you like watching horror? Films now, No, I think they're horrible. I don't like horror. It's it's it's I

don't know. I want to go see one recently. I don't forgot what it's called, but it's it's called A Silent Place. It's like when they make a noise. Oh, a quiet place, Yeah, a quiet place or something. I watched the second movie and and I was so disappointed, and I was like, I was not invested in any of the people's survival. Oh wow, you were like, make some noise. Yeah. I was just like, you know what if these people die, I don't care if they live, I don't care. Do you are you a crier? What's

the film that made you cry the most? Um was this John Singleton movie called Higher Learning. Yeah, I love that film. It's when they shot Tira Banks and there's this character played by Oh why do I keep getting this dude's name anyway, he shoots her and then she's like then and I was like, I think I was like she was like the hardest thing. At the time. I thought she was the hardest human and I was

his child. And then and then this guy just shoots her, and then I was like, oh my god, Yeah, that was the first time I kind of shed shed a tear for something that happened on the screen. I think in a movie that's a great film. We don't talk about it anymore that come up, Yeah, good film. What's the last film that made you cry? I'm not a I'm not a big crier. No, I'm definitely not gonna cry at the cinema. It has to be like, it's just one of those. It's just I don't know. I

don't think I will. You gotta be on your not necessarily, I don't know. I just suck it up and keep moving. That's I know it's unhealthy, but that's my vibe. I'm like, yeah, whatever, let's keep going. I get that. I get that. I mean, I go to the cinema too, cry, but I have to go on my own. There has to be no one else in the cinemas to have emptied the cinema, right, right, right, right, I get it. What's the film that people don't like?

It is not critically acclaimed, but you love it unconditionally and everyone else is dumb? Guy reaches first film, Lockstock and Two Smoking Barrels. Yeah, okay, I mean I think you can have it. People like it, though, but you can have it. It's because I don't know. So when you say critically acclaimed, because I'm not in the film world, I don't know what's it's reputable or not. It's kind of like it's like, oh, I like that film. I like that film, So I don't know, I don't know

if it's critically acclaimed or not. You know, thank god that was that was Swordfish Rather Swordfish is a great I love Swordfish, so the only problem with sword Fish. Swordfish opens with a really cool speech about how movies action movies work and how this film is like and it sort of deconstructs them, and then in the end it does exactly. It's just and exactly an action film. And you you told me you were going to not do this, and then you yeah, yeah, but it is

called that film Mary and Malcolm Malcolm and Mary. Yes, that is a good answer. Yeah, that that's the most recent film where I was like, every time I mentioned it to people that were like, I think was that was? That was a great I thought it was a fantastic film. Yeah. Yeah, maybe maybe it's maybe it's because I love dialogue a lot, me too. I love film where it's a couple just agree for two hours. I'm a late Yeah, yeah, I love I love dialogue. Yeah. Do you write? Do you

write scripts? Fiction? I should? Yeah, I should. I just just write. I just commit my ideas to stand up more than anything. And I've been told that kind of kind of take some of my ideas and put them in other in other spheres. And I got let take this to the stage. What is the film that you used to love? You loved it, but then you've watched it recently and you've gone out, No, I don't like this anymore. The mask really well, I love the mask. What's the mass done? What's wrong with the Mask? Now?

When I watched it again, I was like, how was I not aware as a kid. There's there's so much sexual innuendo involved. It's it's highly sexual, and I'm like, god, damn, this is crazy. How did I watch this as a child? Yeah? Yeah, I mean I think it was. It came out ninety I think that's Brandon. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it could be. I mean I was, I was twelve. It was very I remember listen, I was a child and it was

very sexy. I remember it being very Yeah. I just yeah, yeah. Yeah, so I thought like, okay, yeah, I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would again, and but I did enjoy it wasn't like it wasn't horrendous, but it was like, I don't remember this thing like this. I'm gonna have to watch that tonight. Uh. Well, I mean you've totally sold it as well. What's the what's

the film that means the most to you? Not necessarily the film itself is any good, but because the experience you had around seeing the film would always make it special to you. There's a film on Netflix is a Spanish film called The Platform. Fucking love that film. I think that film is fucking brilliant. Go on, yeah, I really loved it. Man. I thought like it was absurd in setting, but at the end of it you kind of knew the point of it and the point was

clear and it opens up like a tunnel too many debates. Yeah, and understanding of the world. I thought that was a great film. Yeah, and it's and it's absurd because it doesn't it's a lot of dialogue, it's grimy, but at the end of it, you're like, oh, that's what it is, that's what Oh, well, done, I'm out of your back. Yeah. Well, such a clever bit of writing that film. Like every five minutes there's an idea or a new question. It's really good. Yeah, it's really clever. So I yeah, that's fine.

That's that's what I go that. That film really had me open. And when did you watch that? Did you watch that during the pandemic? During like lockdown? Yeah? Yeah, were you were laying in lockdown? Yeah? I was alone the whole time. Yeah, oh my god, did you guy may It was great? Yeah? No, no, no, it was cool. I was cool. I mean I'd go out to jog and do all kinds of but I would come home and watch stuff. It was great, man, it was really great.

That's good. What's the film you must relate to? Noisy most relate man, it's actually probably one of my favorite films, probably good Fellas. I mean good Fellas is one of the greatest films of all time. Sure, what about good Fellas do you relate to? I think the idea that, like the group of guys wouldn't necessarily abide by the law, and they have a world they kind of existing, and

they have specific rules to a dare by. You know what I mean, and it's it's it's like when I look at people with cancel culture, yeah, you know, and I'd go, oh, man, you know, like some of the people where I grew up, a person would come like person you've never met, you hear them, they come back like where was this person? All? This person is in jail,

they did this or whatever the case is. But they part of the community, you know, And the community was not like obviously they don't want them to fucking kill another human or do anything bad, but they're like, this person is equally a part of this society that we're in and we can't really look at them like, oh, they this other thing, you know. And so I appreciated

that from that film. And it's like, oh no, these are complex human beings and they've made a decision in their lives that kind of impacts all parts of their lives. But it was great to just see them as human as well and also just be like, to the average eye, the way they live their lives is very chaotic. But

there's a hierarchy, right, Yeah, there's a lot of rules. Yeah. Yeah, So there's a like, for instance, when um, when your passion's character gets killed and then the Naro's narrating, he said, there's nothing we could do. It killed a made man. We just had to sit there and take it, you know what I mean. Yeah, And that's just rules, you know, he killed the made man. Those are the rules, you know.

And and for me, it's like, sure, they don't live in this world that most of us in society, but they've created their own system and constitution that they govern themselves by. And if you really being scrutinized them, they are as violent as the legitimate government. I love that answer. I love the answer a lot. Oh yeah, well yeah, thank you. Listen. That's your best answer so far. What's

there And how does that relate to cancel culture? Do you mean in terms of like people being sort of shunned, but that still we're all still part of the human rights Yeah, they now they don't consider that this person exists in the society. Yeah, this kind of person exists in the society. So they don't go, this person is part of us. We have to live and deal with them. They go, let's cancel them so that they don't exist, we don't have to see them. Yeah, you see what

I mean. And I'm like, that's a very bizarre way of sort of dealing with this thing. Fascinating, Luisa, what's the sexiest film you've ever seen other than The Mask? Probably Swordfish? I think Swordfish is cool. Yeah, because of

the Helly Berry scene. Yes, and yeah, I thought like, yeah, yeah, Swordfish is an unusual thing in terms of like the way the world is was that it was like part of the selling, part of the selling of the film, like part of the kind of advertising of it was something like we've paid Halle Berry an extra million to share you her boots and that was kind of like in the in the promotion material. Yeah, yeah, it was like this is the this is it. I don't know

if that would happen anymore. It's it's kind of odd. Oh no, it probably would. Yeah maybe, yeah, yeah it would. I think it's there's room for it. It's just it's been done. Yeah, you'd be using the same trick twice. There's a subcategory to this question troubling bonus worrying. Why don't a film you found arousing that you weren't sure you should. No, I don't genuinely get aroused at the cinema, But I don't genuinely get aroused. I think that I'm like,

I'm probably the most sexually contained human. Please please elaborate, like I don't. I'm predictable in that sense, like I hetero sexual human would if you tickle up things that they would tell them that would be it. And so that's why I always like, I'm highly lucky in the sense that I don't have to explain myself a lot in terms of what I'm attracted to, whereas a lot of people have to, Oh no, I'm into toes. Oh no,

I'm into I'm into like the genetic boring stuff. So the question that you pose kind of like taps into a spectrum of sexuality that exists somewhere right yea, And for me to a certain extent, I kind of I'm kind of boringly fit into the nothing nothing is cool you by surprise, Yeah, boobs bress. You know, I'm just like and if I get a boner in the middle, I'm not it's not because of the thing that's in

front of me. It's something that's I'm thinking about, you know what I mean, It's not necessarily what's in front of me, do you know what I mean? So for me, it's so there could be something of you. You get a bony but because you're still thinking about halle Berry boom, that's that's it. That's yes, I'm I would really, I'm a hetro boring, normal to normal, whatever the pronoun is, I get it, I get it. Tell me this objectively, what is the greatest film of all time? Might not

be your favorite, but objectively it's the best film. That's a highly academic question in the sense that and I in the beginning of it, I did make a disclaimer, yes that I'm not I would have to explain it and DISLI. Yeah, I would have practically said, you don't watch films. Yeah, but it turns out I do watch it, but I don't have the academic increment to sort of articulate the points. So critic I'm gonna probably my favorite film is probably Good Fathers. And then the film which

is objectively one of the greatest. Oh, this is so predictable. It's the Matrix. Yeah, that's not predictable. I thought you can say the Godfather. Everyone always says the Godfather, so that was predictable. So great answer. Yeah, I would say the Matrix. It's like, really, I can see that. Yeah, it has it has all the things to make a movie like a good one. Yeah, and it pulls everything off.

And it pulls everything off, great story, great tactical. Yeah it's yeah, it does all the objectively, that's a good film, redefined filmmaking. Yeah. Yeah, that's a really good answer. I can I can go with that. You can live with that.

As I was writing that down, I was like, ah am I predictable not to everyone always says the Godfather Matrix is a much more interesting answer because there's so much going on in the Matrix and it did change, you know, the filmmaking techniques used, and the fact that it's it deals with religion and philosophy and all sorts of fucking great great answer. Congratulations, that's your second best answer. That was a question I was most frightened about. Stress. Yeah,

you're right, you've done good. Yeah, yeah, you could relax. Now, what's the film that you could or have watched the most over and over again? Good Fellas? Yes, me say, I watched it maybe twice a month. I mean, I've talked about it a lot on this podcast, But you could you could watch it every day. I find different things to like about the film every time. One of

my favorite things. One of my favorites one of when he's narrating Hendry Hills talking Hendry and he's like he's introducing all everyone, and then he says, oh, that's poly and Polly comes out. Everyone's making a racket outside, and it's a shot of Polly with his face kind of frowning, and then he's moving like like an as like as poorly. He moves slow. It only moves slow because you didn't have to move for Nope. But I was like, what And that's a you know, that's sort of kind of

like a good intro, what a good economy of words? Yeah, it tells you everything you need today. But he's not saying he's the boss. You find out later that he's the main guy something that. But he's like, that's PAULI. He moves slow. He moved slow because he didn't have to move for anybody. I was like, oh, really, really good accent as well, Oh thank you. I watched a lot of thanks for Yeah, that's fucking great. Okay, good answer. We don't like to be negative, so we do it

fairly's quick. What's the worst film you ever saw? That was the only question I was going to refuse to answer. I respect that because I realized I've kind of entered the world where I could audition for these people. And I know I'm I won't tell you who, but a couple of weeks ago I auditioned for an Oscar winning director. M hmm. That's exciting. It's extremely exciting. So when I

but that, did that same person make your worst film? No? No, no no. But I'm saying I'm in that world if a person, because what if they want you for a part, they'll look at the stuff that you said. Now you've said that the film is the worst film. Now you've just closed down, You've unnecessarily shut your way out of How did the audition go? Have you got the part? Tell us everything I didn't get. I didn't get the part. I can't really talk about it because the movie is

not being made. It's still being made. I didn't get the part, but the movie is made. I can't really I can't tell you what I can't. I know he's gonna ask her, that's best pictures your worst film? What? I respect it? I respect it. I can't force you to do that. What's the film that made you laugh the most? Snatch yeah, yeah, between Snatch and The Big Lebowski. Nice. The Big Lebowski was so subtle and so it wasn't

it wasn't it was it wasn't looking for the laughs. Yeah, it's just kind of but it's written in such a funny way that this cat they've they've when he pulls out a gun in the in the in the bowling alley and everyone was like, what the fuck? You didn't even I wouldn't didn't even know you had a gun. He's like, bro, He's just like what the fuck. And you know, it's such a funny scene when he just pulls out the gun and I was like, my brother, we had no idea even had a gun. Do you

think that guy is shocked? We're shocked as well. And you're like, yo, man, it's just a rug, take it easy, you know. And then Snatch for me was it's not it's not obviously funny. It's like, I don't know, if you remember the scene where they're looking for Freddy four fingers. Yeah, and then he's walking into the to the pawn shop with with the briefcase, and then the four guys are outside and they went for him, and then the one guest. As he walks out the van, he goes, did you

have four fingers? And then the one says, oh, sorry, couldn't get me binocky lars at one time either, And it was like, this is this is such a it's such a bizarre you know, such a bizarre thing that's happening. You know, they're on this big mission, but they're bumbling all the way. And as they're bumbling, it's you know what I mean, it's so it's funny, even like just the brick top he's he's got them tied up. And then he does this monologue which is one of my

favorite things in the world, and snatch. Yeah. He goes, you know what, the meaning of nemesis a righteous retribution of pain personified by an appropriate manifested by an appropriate agent, personified in this particular case by an orange count me and I go, yeah, but who who the fuck says that? You know? It's such who does a poem? You know? And it's just funny. It was. I love that The

Big Lebowski Is is scripted as is. I liked reading that the Jeff Bridges, like, yeah, all the arms, all the ars were literally scripted, like there's no improvising going on in big Lebowski's they're all yeah, they're all saying exactly what was written. I find that interesting. Oh wow yeah, um, Luisa Guyler, you have been brilliant despite thinking you couldn't

do this, you've done very very well. Now, however, when when you were on the London Underground and you were waiting for a train and a drunk guy totally random didn't know you. I wasn't wasn't targeted you, but he was like, you know, I'll push someone in front of the train, pushed you. As you hit the ground, the train hit you. It was very gruesome. It was instant. But I'm walking around the tube. I've got a coffin with me, you know what. I'm like, I'm looking for you.

I'm like, where they So I was going to go see him at top secret but he wasn't there. Anyway, I get down to the tube platform, it's a fucking mess. You are all over the place. You're on the ceilings, you're on the walls. I'm having to pop down, keep to having to jump out every time a train goes past. Pop down. I'm collecting all the bits of you I can There's more of you than I was expecting. It's a fucking mess. I've stuff you in the coffin. You're

all in there, but it's roummed. There's no room in this coffin. There's there's literally just enough for me to slip a DVD into the side of the coffin for you to take to the other side. And on the other side. It's movie night every night, and one night it's your movie night. What film are you taking to show everyone in heaven when it is your movie night? Luisa go La go oh my god? Probably Good Fellows. Probably The Matrix. Lovely, you can take the Matrix to

blow people's minds. It holds up. Yeah. I think it's the only movie that doesn't have a timeline to say you can have that ideas. The ideas are timeless. Yeah, and also just the idea of being in another world, another life, and another dimension could be a good way. It's yeah. The themes, the themes are relevant. That's cool.
