I am joined today by an actor, a writer, a presenter, a man, a league of their owner, a weakest linker, an autobiographer, ra a memoirista, a stand up comedian, a teacher, a father, a husband, a man with no boundaries. Please, welcome to the show, my hero and yours. The incredible, the beautiful,

the fantastic, the tremendous. It's only it's mister Ramesh ragan Athan. Wow. Wow, what an intro. He's back, baby, Yeah, very long intro. I liked it a lot. Stand up comedian came so low down in the list of things it was. I did it backwards. It was order of importance. Actually opened with actor, which I realized if I've now put in order, maybe I should have thought about the beginning if I was working. The point is, you're very good at both. So sorry, did did you decide that? Did you decide

on that halfway through? It always goes in reverse to but all of them are all of them are talents. Yeah but yeah, sure, but you but you're doing in reverse order. You said actor without hesitation, didn't open strong an actor. Yeah, but but it's basically in training guy. He's definitely worse than acting of all the things he does. Yeah, and teaching was really high and yeah, that's certainly you didn't even do no A mixed bag romes I cannot tell you outscited and to see you again. Take you

for coming back on this show. Thanks for having me. It's been a year. It's been a year. It's been a year since you begged me to be on the show, and then I've now begged you to come back. And you did make it. You made it hard and fair enough because I made it hard the first time, and many ways we're even. But I did have to beg. I didn't say, I wouldn't say you begged like I begged. I begged over a period of months you've had you

had to send three texts. If that's what you if that's what you classifize, But if you if your level of required dignity is so high that you cansider that begging, then fair enough that third text was desperate. Do you know what the worst thing about the figures, as I said to the worst thing about the first time I did this podcast, is you and I sort of blindly speculating and what's going to happen to comedy without any real appreciation because of when we were talking about it,

about how that was going to pan out. Do you remember I reckon, We said we weren't going to do zoom gigs or anything. And since then, I reckon, I've had a hundred I remember, remember the venom of which we spoke of the potential of doing zoom gigs, and yeah, this very attic week. You see me now, me crawling around in front of aunt love me into a camera and then the vacuum of silence that ends when you finish the zoom gig and you're just stood in your attic.

There were plus points and negative points to my zoom gig experience. I had to do zoom gigs because I was doing the show The Ranglon Nation and had to run the monologue. So I did it with James Gill, who always be combat to lovely the legend that is James Gill and the legendary night that has always be comedy, and he had like a front rowing and stuff. Yeah.

The thing about zoom is I think one of the lowest points had early on, and I think everyone's had this, So I'm fully aware that this is sort of a cliche gig sort of hack thing to say. It was the moment when I was trying that new material and then I said to them after like I did a joke that i'd really, I'd really when I'd written it, I this is so funny, and it was like it was like this idea of like, you know, the Save Our Summer, the Save Our Summer six, like Richie Snak

and all that. They were sort of employed to save the Summer last year, and I did a whole bit about them being a superhero group. And I ran this bit at the Zoom gig and at the end of it, nothing happened, and I went, can everyone hear me? And everyone went, yeah, it was. It was so so horrible. It was so wrong. It's my screen, it's my screen phrases, no, yeah, okay, yeah,

so horrible. And then the other thing. But the other thing was I did a couple of corporate gigs on Zoom and that that thing where you finished, because you know, corporate gigs are so soul destroying and horrible, or they can be, so they can be. They're not always, but I would say over the ones that I've done have been Yeah, they literally literally to go do you will? How much money will you take for a feeling of

complete shame and self lady? Yeah, totally. What people don't realize is there are a finite number of corporate gigs that you're sul can withstand So when you're when you're being paid for that gig, what they're saying that is a gig opportunity that's been taken away from you. Yeah, did I tell you that I did? I did one in Manchester. Once you go to the hotel, I had to go to hotel as a surprise guest, so I had to hide in the hotel room pretty much. I

wasn't allowed to wander around the hotel. And then they come and get me and take me down this back like secret route to the room. So they came to knock on my door like ten minutes before you to go on. They take me through and the woman's briefing me about it and I go, okay, cool, thanks, thanks, And then we get into the lift to go down to the gig and she goes, we can I ask you a question? I said yeah, sure. She goes, do you actually want to be here? And I went what?

I went? Sorry? Yeah? She goes, It's just I'm telling you what's going on tonight. She goes, you couldn't look less interested. She goes, it's a big event for us. As she goes and I'm explaining it to you. You just utterly fed up. I was like, oh my god, I said, I'm really I said, I'm really sorry. I go it's just how I am said, I said, like, it's just my face and my voice and everything. I said, I said, I do want to be here, but but

I don't know what you want. But you know, the other thing is sort of sorry, are you arrogant enough to assume that I want to be here because I believe in the event, because I believe in the awards? Is that what you think? I'm here for the Best screw Driver of twenty Yeah, this is This has always been my dream. Yeah, I've always wanted My main thing is to be at the awards for the people that put music in adverts. Yes, please, I've waived the fee.

That's how much you want to be here? Fucking hell. Yeah. But the thing about doing it on Zoom is like you do the corporate you do this thing, and it's like sort of horrible as all gigs are, and then as all corporate gigs are, and then Zoom gig, and then you just shut your laptop and you're in your house.

It's an amazing thing. It's not amazing. You know, the idea of shutting your laptop and being in your house being amazing is one of the biggest misuses of that word ever, probably, but but yeah, you know what I mean. I do find that the shutting the laptop after the Zoom gig is the weirdest feeling. Is when I felt most mad, because occasionally, only when you do always be comedy.

When you do and always be comedy gig, sometimes it does feel like you get a tenth of what it's like to do a real gig, and it feels a bad But then you shut the laptop and it's just a vacuum of silence in your attic, and not only do you think you're insane, but like you're also like did that just happen? There's no evidence. It's like I now just stood here, like I've time trapped, like a teleported do you know what I mean. It's it's it's like you compare that. It's like when you go on

Tory do a gig or whatever. You're in a room with loads of people like laughing, and you know you having a great time. You walk out and people are going on, mate, that was great, blah blah, blah, and then half an hour later you're in your underwear in a sandwich in a hotel like that. The contrast is

so insane. I like the number of times I've been sat in a hotel sort of watching Netflix, sandwich in hand, in my underwear and just sort of had a sort of a deliberate out of body experience, just sort of feel sorry for yourself. Yeah, see yourself on your own. It's so bleak. The sandwich in a hotel, the sandwich in a travel lodge after smashing a gig is ah,

it's so it's so rogue. I mean, like, and then you sort of this doing a corporate it's so weird because we've been doing a corporate and then shutting my laptop and then walking next door to join Leasha and the kids for a pasta dinner. It's just such a weird. It's such a weird transition. I feel like you need a bit more time for your head to get out of that narcissism mode of of thinking that everybody needs to be facing you as you speak about something you've

thought of. I mean, I don't command that level of attention at the dinner table. I've found if I see friends. If I see people after a gig too soon after a gig, there hasn't been a sufficient gap of say an hour, but I'll arrive in sort of battle made and I'll fucking like roast people quite aggressively. And I remember my friend said to me, have you just finished the gig? And yeah, Well anyway, because you're being fucking horrible,

like someone like, how you doing, I'm like, yeah, nice haircut, dickhead? Whatever? Yeah, great question for dinner? Nob ed? Did you get all your conversation? Starts from generic conversating starters Book one O one? Did you learn to whisper a helicopter? You can't pass me the salt? What do you do? You work in the cats? Boring? You can? That's my new boyfriend. Sorry? How long have you two been together? Oh he doesn't know. He doesn't fucking know. He's not getting a blowjob to.

What is a wanka? I te is it? Pawn? Sorry? Sorry? Everyone, I'm delighted to be here. How much do I get in for this? You're at a party? He's another question we talked. I'll tell you this. I don't even know if you'll be able to answer this, but I am genuinely always fascinated by because we talked about it last year in the fact of you involving you know, the boundaries between your private life and your professional life. You make shows with your mum, you make shows with your brother,

everyone's involved. And then during the pandemic you started do you started doing Facebook lives with your wife and just chatting and ask you, you know, ask me a questions my wife, here's my life, and I guess I find it. I want to know, at what point is something private to you? Well, I've got to say as first of all, as content generation goes, that's a load point for me.

You know, no disrespect to my wife, but I think I was in a the idea that me and Lisa sitting in front of our laptop talking every day with no preparation is it's so it's so narcissistic. And the thing is that the way that the way that us comedians cope with the narcissism which actually convinced ourselves with doing a public service. It's so tragic. But yeah, it's

a good question. I don't know. I mean, I do have I do have things that are private, but like I have, as we all do, sort of issues with anxiety and relationship issues and parenting issues and stuff like that. And so whenever I'm going through something, and by the way, I'm not putting myself in that, I'm not putting myself on a pedestal or anything like that. I don't. I

don't want that to come across like that. But like whenever I hear somebody that I've seen on something or that I like the work of or whatever, you know, and I mean like if I see them talking about something that I've gone through or that I'm going through, I feel I find it hugely reassuring. And so like when going through the thing that we're all, you know, going through lockdown or whatever, or going through whatever. You know, I've got anxiety, I've got I've got a phobia of

the dentist. I've just written a thing. I've just written it little literally written an article about that right that to me, I just sort of think somebody is going to read that and go fucking hell that person they go through that as well. I Mean, it's like the reason that I sort of got Lisa involved is one that she hates it, and I found that I found that like really enjoyable, but Also, I feel like Lisa

and I in this. I've been with Lisa for twelve years now, and I am deeply, deeply in love with her, right and and I feel like I love her more than I have ever done. But we're not in it. We're not in a textbook exciting part of our relationship. I mean, it's like, you know, Like to give you an example, we went out ages ago. The last time we went out was ages ago as a couple. Right, and I had a gig, and the reason it happened by accident because Lisa supposed to having a girl's night.

I was doing a gig. We sort of a babysitter. Her girls night fell through, So I said, why don't you come to the gig with me and we'll go out afterwards. Right, she came to the gig. We're on our way back, and I said, I can't be asked to do dinner, can you? And she goes, I'm so glad you said that I can't either, And then we said, but we've got to stay out for a bit otherwise the babysitter is going to think we're a pair of

fucking losers. So we went to a pub and had a drink for the amount of time that we think. We thought it would take us a point where we could go back and let the babysit and go home without it being embarrassing, right and so like so you sai, And as we went in, we went in about quarter to ten, so, you know, still tragic, and I sort

of look as we go in. There's like a woman looking after our kids is in her early twenties, and I felt conscious the fact that I was giving her a bleak look into what a potential future might be. You know, like it it's not exciting, it's really fucking sad. And so you'd go, well, god, it sounds like you guys in a rut, but we're not in a rut. I mean like love and I hope she loves me, and it's it's fun. It's like the most fun bit

of our relationship I've ever been in. I mean, it's that thing of talking about that I don't know, I'm giving you a big excuse for doing Facebook videos without any preparation really, but but I just find it interested in talking about it. No, I genuinely I fucking love it. And I think and actually that story, in all seriousness is actually very romantic and love it and tells us a lot about it. I'm just so it's I think I find you endlessly fascinating because I know I'm basically

the opposite intern I know you are. I know you are, You're very guardless. It's everything very separate. Yeah, yeah, and I just find it fast. And also there's absolutely it's I love it like I genuinely watched your Facebook lives I think every day and what you say you're saying is I loved it like it did. I found it comforting.

I enjoyed checking in on your marriage. But I also just always thought like what if I mean, hopefully, I'm assuming nothing particularly bad happens, but I did think, what if one day you had like a massive argument and you were like, suddenly the Facebook life wasn't there that we'd all become so comforting by. It's like, oh shit, things are you know? It's like almost like a reality TV show, like where have they gone? I've become so dependent on them. You'd have to just be honest when't

you and go yeah for the massive argument. Chances that as my fault. Thanks for thanks for answering. That's the tricky way. Also, one last thing before we, you know, do the sort of meat of it is? Even anyone in another bathter, isn't you? Oh yeah yeah, lovely Stafford that mate. Yeah I got little sing locks away. Yeah yeah, congratulations, that's fun. Thanks very much. I love you winning bathters.

I want to win all of them. Do you sometimes feel like those awards it's a bit unfair that you get awarded for stuff like that because I don't want to sound all whanky or whatever, but like we shouldn't be getting awards, should be you know what I mean? I do feel a bit like do you remember the Seinfeld didn did a thing about it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember. I remember that. Yeah. I always think about It's like comedians should be at the back slagging off

the wards, not winning them. And it's like, yeah, do you know what you need? But yeah, you feel like and I hesitate saying this word. It's it's a validation and we shouldn't need validation. We absolutely shouldn't. And that's why I sort of hesitate saying that word. But it's an external validation for something you do. Where's yours? Where's your baptist? Well, the first one I don't know where it is the second one, the one I just got very grateful. Yeah, I'm very grateful because no, it's the

thing of winning physical it's not. It's not the physical. The physical trophy is not what you're excited about, is it. It's but the second one I brought down, my mum actually did quite a She came around and she asked for a photo with the bathtera, which I did. I took a photo of her with the and then she pasted the photo, and then somebody said, did you take

it home with you? Right? And then my mum replied, he wouldn't let me like she didn't ask me, right, she didn't ask if she could take home, and she could have she could have done. And then underneath it was all these comments about, oh, that's very ungrateful, bearing in mind that you know you're one of the main reasons he's ended up, Like all of her friends started piling in. I'm getting you've managed to turn a bath to win into a situation on getting absolutely fucking coated

off on your Facebook. It's mental. I actually ended up. This is so sad. I actually ended up replying, going moment, it's not true. You could have it as long as you want. And then she came around and she goes out, well, I we never talked about it. I said, yeah, because because why would you talk about Why would that come up? Why would I bring that up? You come round to ask her a photo of my bath to go mom? Do you want to take it home for a bit?

What a weird thing to suggest. Yeah, that's what happened, genuinely, what happened anyway, Robbish rug good. Nathan, you have been brought back to life because I like you. But what time of your life would you like to come back to to today or earlier? Any regrets you'd like to fix? Make sure? All right? All right? Yeah, no they I'll come back today. I've got no regrets really well, I mean there are you know, there are things I regret to him, but I'd come back to day. But maybe

asked to be slightly more attractive or something. Hey, if I may say, as far as I can tell, ain't seen you for a bit. You look fit. It's fat. Well, that's very it's very kind of you to say, but you've little like you've been working out. Well, that's very kind of that's also very kind of you to say. What that is is setting a very low bar about a year ago. That's the that's the diet plan I

can recommend. Do you allow yourself to do you allow yourself to balloon to a point yeah, where even in T shirts you look like you've got your top off because they're so snug. I mean, you get yourself to a point when what that normal people would call sort of average, and then they fuck, you look great? You look great, But actually what you just said is you look like shit a year ago. But that's basically are you allowed to I don't know, are you allowed to

compliment people on their weight now? Because I don't know, And it's a good point. Maybe that wasn't No, that wasn't me having a go. Yeah, it totally wasn't me. But like apparently, I don't know, there's there's been a rule change. Doesn't there an official rule change about stuff like this? Yeah, you're not. You're not supposed to notice anymore.

I don't know. I don't know. Or if you say, if you say somebody you look great because they've lost weight, yeah, I think what you're supposed to do well this time? This is all freestyling by me. Now, I think what you're space to go is did you were you meaning

to lose weight? And then really, yeah, I don't know what you're meant to go, sorry to notice, but as there have been a terrible accident because you're suddenly very slim, are you okay that even if they and then and then if they go, yes, I deliberately wanted to lose right to look better, then you go, look it right, right. But if they say I'm actually grieving and I've just not been eating and I'm very sad, you go, you look, you're right. In the past you would have said something like, well,

loss suits you. I'm not talking about weight, but that also suits you. Also, you're single now clearly because of the grief. Thing you have to lay because this new thing is. Yeah, you have made yourself. You have made yourself easily pick up a ball again. I think that's fine. Yeah, all of that. You can't say that that's how you and are would behave at a funeral in the past. You can't do that anymore, can't do It's a different time. Yeah,

now you just have to say so. If now you actually have to say so, if you lost and having day to say anything about your weight, yeah, correct, But that's a lovely hat. Yeah. Absolutely, but you've come back to life. Everyone's delighted to see you, big fans, but what they want to talk about is your life through film. It's sort of and stuff. And the first question they ask you is what was the last film you saw? The last film I saw? I assume by the way, I know that we do this thing where I'm dead

and then I've just come back to life. But I mean, theoretically I would have seen this film, Jim, like while I was dead. You know, like, well, it's an excellent point, and you've chosen to come back today rather than like a week ago, where perhaps you saw a film in this last week. So you've made this difficult. Oh I see, Okay, so this is actually my fault. This format floor is my fault, is it? Yeah? The format is the it's your choice too. You know you're you're a and you've

lived a perfect life and have no regret. Now, you're right, I should have said a week guy, because the only thing I regret I did less than a week ago. You're absolutely what an arsenal I am. Anyway, Yeah, if I did come back a week ago, I could tell you that the last film Mussel was the Conjuring three. The Devil made me do it? How is it? I'm a fan of the Conjurins, but I've not seen the third round yet another Canjurin? How was it? But first of all, I had no idea what a massive franchise

the Conjuring films are. They're like, up there, aren't they with like one of the biggest franchises ever, right, They're the marvel of horrors. Yeah? Absolutely, And I'm a Conjuring fan. I skipped the numb. But what I would say about the Country three. First of all, it's difficult for me to give you a fully unbiased opinion because it was my first time back in the cinema in like a year and a half maybe two years, and I was incredibly excited to just be a cinema. Did you go with?

I went with Yasmin Acram. Yeah. Yeah, Well I hadn't seen her for ages. I got invited to go and watch Conjuring three, So I said to Yasmin, this feels like the perfect time for us to catch up. Let's have dinner and go watch Conjuring three. And during dinner, she revealed that she doesn't like horror films. But she wanted to give it a go. Well, this is the thing.

I don't know how you watch horror films. And I think I talked about this after I died with you, But I'm really bad at watching horror films, as in, I'm bad for other people around me to be. You know, it's anti social because I react, I move, I put my hood up, all that kind of stuff. I find it very difficult to not sort of viscerally react to what I'm seeing. I find it terrifying, but I still enjoy it. So Yasmin was the same because she's not really a horror fans. So both of us were kind

of like really squirming and stuff. And then you're sort of looking around the theater and other people are just sitting there, just sitting there, completely passive, and it feels like, to me, it feels like they've got a super powerful I don't understand how you can't be moving in your seat and stuff like. And look the Conjuring three if you wanted a quick review of it, the first third of it is excellent. Is incredible? Not incredible it's too

strong word. It's excellent. Yeah, it's very derivative of the Exorcist is that there's an exorcism scene right at the beginning. That's just homage, would be underplaying it right in terms of what they're doing. But it's like great, and then it sort of turns into a very conventional kind of thing, but still enjoyable. It had brought my goodwill from being so sort of exciting. And also but I was in

the cinema for the first dance. I was really excited, but I just kept doing all of the watching through my fingers and all that stuff, and you know, it does all of the it does all of the jump scares. Actually, I'm a complete prick for falling for and enjoying it turns out, you know, like where you know that class that you're hearing noise, somebody approaches something, it's the cat. He goes, oh gosh, that was a nightmare. Then you

wait three seconds and then the actual thing. I fall for that every fucking time, like every single time I find that unbelievable being in the cinema. Did you it's fucking great in it? Oh God, it's amazing, man, like amazing. I felt angry with myself for having taken it for granted for so long. You know, it's just fucking great.

You and a load of strangers go and sit in a room in a room and watch a film being presented to you with amazing vision and sound, and you're eating with this and the group reacts, although they didn't in this case because they're sort of fucking hard or lunatics. Yeah, it's so good man. I loved and properly loved it. I like that. All right, Well, I'm glad you came back a week Romes. Who do you think should play you in the film of your Life? I think I

would like to go for Taron Egerton. And let me tell you why. He's a very good actor. Well, that's exactly why I'm going for him. I've seen him play Eddie the Eagle Edwards. Yeah, I've seen him play Eggs in The Kinsman. I've seen him play Elton John in Rocketman. Yeah. He's a very versatile actor. Yeah. I think he's one of the world's most gifted actors. Like he's utterly commitcing and everything he's done. I would like to see if his career survives browning up, If if his performance could

be that compelling that he could pull that off. That's a true test of an actor. I think, listen, Robert Downey Jr. So far is the only actor who has survived How did Robert Dwney Junior survive that? Listen, I've got I've not got a problem with her with how he survived that, because I get it. But like, it is an interesting one, isn't it. It is interesting. Every time I see a clip of it, I'm still like wow. Every time I literally go out loud to myself, wow

every time. I'd like to think it's because people sort of see the joke and sort of get that it's not you know again, that it's coming from a slightly different place to how it might have done in the past. But what I honestly think it is is it's because people really like Iron Man. I think that he also got nominated for an Oscar for it. That's the thing, is you go. It wasn't just that people went, We're okay with this. It's that people went, this is the

best thing that's ever happened. It's fascinating. Yeah, it's wow. Wow. Yeah, But I think I think Taron Egerton could pull it off. I agree. You know, at the end of have you seen Rocket Man? Yeah, did you like it. Yeah, I loved it. Yeah, the opening thirty seconds, well, the whole thing, but the opening thirty seconds when he leaves the counseling session to start singing, I'm still standing. I mean, I've watched that on YouTube. I reckon, well, I don't want

to eager it probably about five or six times. But but the point I'm trying to make is I sort it out. I mean, it's so good, it's so so good. I love it. I love Taron Egerton. Yeah, him running up and acting out scenes with your mum, who I hope will be played by another white person, browning up and just seeing that I would seek that out on

YouTube flame or six times at least. I mean, look, if we've been honest, the the the the obvious choice, and this would be the choice that that if you were to do a poll, people would suggest is is

Himesh Patel. Because when Yesterday came out, the number of text messages I got from people going, I really enjoyed you and yesterday, and also when I started, when I started doing stand up, one of them the heckles I got more than any was Tamoios actually played at east Enders, So you know that would be the root one choice, but not route well, I bet one is not a root one choice is an excellent choice, exactly what I mean. But he's Terren's the the exit, the exciting choice in

terms of there's a lot more stakes in Jeopardy and that. Yeah, there's a lot more stakes for everybody involved in the May every film. Yeah, sort of when they're doing the press junk kitch, I mean, like, will you get an Oscar no more canceled? It's a real yeah, yeah, yeah, and when sort of let's let's have a think who this might be. When Nicole Kidman is defending herself for browning up to play sha'n't they? Yeah? Yeah, I wonder

if she might like distance herself from the movie. She'll be so good at it though as well, Like have you ever seen destroy it like the things she did to her face with that makeup artist? And destroy it like her turning into your mum. I think she could do it. I think she's a good enough factor, and I actually think your mum would be would be happy with the portrayal. I think she would. I really think she would the exact I'm looking ford it. What's the

you're a romantic man? Real mess, what's the most romantic film you've ever seen? Well, I talked about this film the last time I was on the podcast, and that was a turn of sunshine. But if you want me to go super romantic, it's probably do you know that film? No, I'm day you don't know. Huh be serious, He's be serious? Yeah, you do? You do a movie podcast? Yeah? So hair Is it's a Bollywood film. I watched it years ago.

The reason I watched it is because at Crawley Cinema they have Bollywood's presentations of films because of well because of the ethnic makeup of the town. I guess you don't get it everywhere. And so my mom didn't have anyone to go watch the Hair with, and so I went to watch. I know it sounds like I'm just trying to say as many times as I can, but I'm not genuinely. I did go to watch with my

with my mom. It was just me and my mom on a day watching and it stars it stars Sharott Khan who obviously and Cargill, and it's just like a very super romantic film. My recollection of it was that it was about three hours long and I can't even I can't even really remember what it was about. To be honest with you, I don't even know what the hair means, but I know that I think. Let me just look at it. I just need to look this up because I think it means something happens. That is

an amazing tale for a film. What's your pitch? Something happens. It's something strange? Is that. I'm going to read you the lyrics in English of the title track, okay, and this will give you an idea of why it's such a romantic film. You came close, then you smiled. You don't even know what dreams you showed me. You came close, then you smiled. You don't even know. I shouldn't have read that to us. I thought it was going a different change. Now my heart remains awake, neither awake nor sleeps.

What do I do? Oh, something strange is happening. You came close, then you This can't be the verse? Then you you don't even know what dreams you showed me. Now my heart remains neither awake nor sleeps. Now what do I do? Something strange is happening. So it's something strange. Something I mean, something strange is happening, which I assume is please. I can't sing the whole song, but I know that the chorus goes something like that. It's a

beautiful song. I remember it being a beautiful film. All Bollywood films very romantic, aren't they? Yeah? What's it called again? That isn't? That is really wonderful and I will be checking it out. Make sure listen, guys, if people listening to this, make sure you watch because he is one of my favorite romantic dates ahead with your mom. Yeah, we'll be able to say what what's the favorite film

you watch with your mum? A sort of against you will I always say, because is the film is one of the only films I would say so on a list of two films and Jurassic Park? What's a romantic double? Um? It was? Actually that was actually a double bit was the same afternoon Jurassic Park back to back. What's the best film you ever saw that you never want to see again? The best film I ever saw that I never want to see again. It's Shure Shank Redemption. Go

the fuck on. It's a great movie, right, yeah, great movie. It's very quotable. It's I enjoyed it very much. The performances are excellent, It's a brilliant film. But if if I was in any context I think if I was at home alone with my wife, if I was with some friends, if I was with a mate and we were a bit drunk, or we're trying and we wanted to fall asleep to something. If if any of those contexts somebody suggested, Sure Shank Redemption, I would say, why

the fuck would you want to do that? Because the idea of enjoying sitting down to watch that again just fucking blaze my mind. I can't even begin to imagine a set of circumstances where I'd say, do you know what, I'd really hit the spot now, Sure Shank Redemption? Yeah? You know? And I love It's a great film, loved it. Do you want to watch again? No? Thank you. Do you want to talk about it? Yeah, I'll talk about it if that means that we don't have to sit

and watch it again. Absolutely. My favorite part of that of your story, in the sort of average scenarios in which you watch a film, is how often it must be that you haven't made over and wants something to go to sleep. Do you know what, As I said, I just thought, this isn't a typical scenario that you'd find yourself in having that. Yeah, sorry, Rom, Sorry, Rom sudden.

Do you know I listened to that. I listened to Brett Goldstein's film podcast, and I'd always been under the impression that Roma should forty three year old father of three, But I think you might be a twelve year old boy. Yeah, Sleep, it's very sleep Amos with his mate. Do you want to come round and we could just fall asleep watching the film together? Okay? Mate? Did I say that? I really love it? Do you know what? I'm glad you called it out, because, as I said it, I just thought, No,

I'm just annoyed. You've never invited me for a movie. Sleep. I've never invited anybody over for It's never come up. It's never I want to come over, Brett, Brett. I live with my wife and children. How weird would it be that Brett's coming over tonight. He's coming over for dinner. He wants to have a few drinks. He's probably gonna stay over. Do you mind if you sleep on your own and I'm going to join Brett in the whatever

room he's sleeping in. Yeah, two, sleeping bags in the DVD of the Yeah, oh my god, I can't believe it. I tell you what other film actually more recently than The Redemption. I don't know if I ever want to watch the Joker movie again. That's totally fair, that's not a fun film. I went to watch it with Jen Brister. We're on tour. Went to watch it with Jen Brister and Gratzia Graziobella, tour manager extraordinaire, And as we came out, I said, that was a real It was a really

great film. But I feel truly terrible. I mean, I feel absolutely awful having watched it. Everything about it was great, but I definitely feel worse than I did before I went into the cinema. Yeah, it still stucks me how successful that film was when it's such a it's horrible. It's a horrible it's a really it's an awful, awful, depressing ms of yeah, so depressing. Yeah, what's the best

action film you've ever seen? Well? I don't know how controversial this answer is, because it is completely humorless and sort of good action films do have a bit of humor and they don't know, But for me, it's probably The Raid it's in the Raid. Great, it's a great answer. It's a very very very good is it a great answer? It's a very good action film. You can't. I mean, you're right, there's zero laughs it, but in terms of action,

you go, yeah, it's pretty fucking good. Yeah, because you know, I know that, like when I think about the films I'm watched growing up, you know, it'd be like Commando, you know, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, you know, would have like a bazooka on his shoulder and then he'd go, you look like you need rocket and then he'd like fire. And that's funny. Those that those things are funny. I mean the Raid doesn't have any of that. And also, but my other issue with The Raid? Does it killed

Judge Dreads? Yeah, which only watched the other day, and it is very good, And that Judge Dread movie is great, right, It's so good. And if The Raid hadn't existed, that would have been the tearing off point for probably a really lack luster sequel for a really dragged out Dread universe. They've got where they've got, They've got to go down instead of up, because that's what they thought the twist would be for this. But yeah, I really I remember. The reason I say the raid is like because yeah,

like it's totally humorous. There's nothing to be there's nothing about the dialogue. There's some really cool bits in it, like when the crime boss at the top of the building does the tannoy announcement going we've got some visitors. Do whatever you want to them, have fun or whatever. It's really fucking chilling, like you sort of thing, Oh

my god, Like you know, it's proper. I don't know how that, Like, I can't see a way that this ends anything other than all of them dying horribly mean and for most of them that that is the case. But like it's so good. There's and but the fucking action is just I've never seen action like it before. I've just never ever seen anything like it before I watched that film. I could not believe it. Man, it's crazy. How do you how do you write that? That's a

great question. How do you write that? I don't know what that looks like on the page? Yeah, you know, like you know, because I know you've you've written those You're you're a great writer. When you write the stage directions away, yeah, you sort of go int cafe, there are two chairs. The raid must have been a three

page script. That's the thing. I genuinely don't know if that if there's lots of examples of films and stuff where it will say like they make love and then that scene will be a five minute sex scene, or they fight, or some people do write he hits him, he ducks, he fucking that's he rolls under him, he jumps up a wall, he kicks him in the face, blood comes out of his eyeball. Yeah, for twenty minutes they kick seven shades of shit out of each other. Yeah. Great,

I feel that's a very good answer. Romist, I can never tell. I can never tell with you. You're quite difficult blake to read. If I get if I gave you an answer you didn't agree with or you thought was a terrible answer, would you say, okay, next question? Wow, So you wouldn't you wouldn't, wouldn't disguise it at all? Really robes regulated of all the films. If you had to, which film do you think you could have made? And why? I e. What film represents the kind of film you

think you'd make if you were making a film for me? Yeah, for you, I would say planes, trains and automobiles. Now before I continue with that, I don't think I could have. I don't think I could have made it to that standard. Steve Martin's character in that film is everything I think my comedy fails to do. You know that, you That's what I mean, isn't it? Yeah, trying to be but yeah,

it's trying to be but can't be. I mean that film that that film is so funny, obviously, but Steve Martin's kind of reactions to John Candy are note perfect, like throughout and the journey from him coming on side. It's a sort of showing John Candy's character a bit of empathy. It's so beautifully done. You don't ever feel like he'd been maneuvered through that John Candy's journeys, I mean John Candy, you know, we can talk for ages about how great he was, but just they're they're both amazing.

But Steve Martin, in particular his character in that film, I really I just I just find it incredible. And I watched du Day and Dude Date. It's a really good film. It's it's a similar, you know, similar thing. The difference with Jude Day I thought, I thought, I think Zach Galiphernakis is amazing, and Robert Danny June is obviously very funny. But Robert Daniel Jr. You feel like he's been too horrible to Zach Galliphernakis in a way that you never feel with planes trains, you know, like

planes trains, like Steve Martin is horrible to him. He does some horrible things to John Candy, but you always kind of buy it, do you mean, you sort of go it's a bit out of order, But I get how you've got to this point, you know, like whereas with Robert Danny June as a couple of there's a few things he does you just think you're you're an ursul man. I mean, that's like really shitty. And so then it's slightly for me personally, it's slightly undermined the

redemption at the end of that. I mean, this is such a good answer and actually is really revealing and interesting. And now I realize that all your TV shows, your mum is John Candy, and you're going on journeys with the sort of sort of half against your will and half empathetic and sort of yeah, maybe you know, there's two options here. Either the reason I like Steve Martin's performance in that so much is because it just connects to my soul in some way, or everything I do

is completely derivative of that performance. And actually I haven't even original thoughts since I've started doing comedy. It's one of those two. Either it's either yeah, and whichever one of those you think it is, you're correct. I'm now thinking Yeah, I guess we can't because sadly he's no longer with us. But if Nicole Kidman doesn't want to play your mum, we could have had John Candy. Yeah, that's a great shot, um. I think really it's genuinely

fair play. All Jack's aside, it's a very very interesting, revealing answer. I appreciate it. Ten points and ten points for that. And I wasn't going to score this one. But it's weird that you're you're brought scoring into the sixth question of this Yeah, of the second podcast. Yeah, it's weird that you're starting to actually rack up a score now. And what's the film you have pretended to

like to impress people? Thin Red Line? I love Thin Red Line, but yes, there's a level of you you have to not when you talk about thinne, you have to not complain about the fact that it was three and a half hours. So I went to watch Thin Red Line it with some friends, and I sat in the film, and I'm just going to be absolutely honest with you. Thin Red Line is an objectively, very well made, great film and all of that, and I don't want

don't at me or anything like that. But I sat there and all I could think of is this film is constant reminded that life is finite. I can't believe I'm fucking watching this. I can't believe, with what we know about existence, I'm spending three and a half hours watching this. I am so fucking bored, like so bored, like like this is that bored I was. I don't think it mattered which I was facing in that theater in terms of my level of interest of what was

going on. I was so completely bored by that film. And I didn't say anything because I'm not I'm not, you know, I'm not going to ruin the film for other people. So I sat there with my friends, expecting to have a conversation with them about how we regretted going to watch Thin Red Line. We should never let the person who chose to watch that film ever choose a film ever again. And then I come outside of the cinema everybody else loved it. Oh my god, It's

so good, doesn't it. And you have to sort of listen. It pays, it pays your attention, you know, you say, you stay with it, you give it focus, and it rewards you. And I'm just like, not only do I disagree with you, it makes me look like a fucking idiot if I do disagree with you now, so now I have to go yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah, you know, because like I'm so sick of films that have a thing happen every few minutes to just cry and keep you, keep you in. You know, I prefer it when a

film is actually moving slower than my normal life. That's I love that. So yeah, absolutely great, Yeah, totally. What's funny is your your your what you took from the film that life is finite is genuinely also the message of the film. You really got it, you really got it. Oh my god. I hated that fucking evening. Honestly, I really hated it so bad. And do you know what the thing is, By the way, before people sort of I don't know how how vocal or vociferous your listeners

are community. It's pretty yeah, small, but very passionate, aren't they. I mean, I'm not saying it's a bad film, and I'm saying the fault is with me, guys, Okay, the fault is with me. I'm describing to the experience I had and what I felt when I sat and watched that film was anger. Not about the conflict, not about you know, the things that people had to go, not about war and the futility of it, about the fact

I was spending the evening in the cinema watching it. Okay, what film have you never seen that you think it's mad? You've never seen it. I've never seen Train Spotting. That is mad. What's the film you love that you don't expect anyone else? Is that a terrible answer? No, that's a great answer, completely mad. What's the film you love? Do you do you normally open a discussion off the

back of that? No, okay, good, move on. It's just the way that you respond to that was remarkably like when I asked you what you do if you didn't like an answer, that's all I would say. It's almost identical. So in terms of my kind of self esteem. Oh no, it's a really good answer. Is it's completely mad? How could it be a good answer because it's a perfect answer because everyone's seen Trainspotting and it's like seminal and

you haven't seen it. That's mad. You've answered the question perfectly. What's the film you love that you don't expect anyone else to? Like? Transformers? A movie? The original animated? Oh? The good one? Good answer? Good one? Is that good? I think that's good. I like the animated one, and I hold my hands up. I've done stand up about this. I saw the new Transformers and I don't think I'm thick, but I genuinely did not understand it, and at the end felt like I'd watched an art film that was

beyond me. I was like, I don't know what the fuck was going on. Let me so the Transformers, the Michael Bay Transformers movies, right, of all of the films, and I've watched all of them, right, I understood the first twenty minutes of the first one, right, and after that it's completely fucking impenetrable. And do you know what else? It's impenetrable. What the fuck is going on when they're fighting. I have got no idea who's hitting who. I've got

no idea who's winning. I've got no idea which characters involved in the fight. I don't understand any of the dialogue of any of the robots, Like it's Mencil is absolutely mental. It's like I honestly believe that Michael Bay said, honestly, they're a private meeting, and he said, I want to take the biggest shit I can on people's childhoods, like the biggest shit, and I want it to make money, and you to keep asking me to make sequels. And they've gone, Michael Bay, we can make that happen for

you anything. They are terrible I have talked about I don't think I've took about on the podcast. Maybe I have apologies if I have. But the end of Transformers, if I followed it correctly, the film ends with Shy Libeuf and Megan Fox having sex on top of his car. But his car is his mate. His car is a Transformer that he talks to and his friends with, and he's sat there like, you're having sex on top of me. Why do you not remember? I can talk and see and meet Yeah, I can't have sex if a dog

is in the building. Right, you're on top of your friend. Right. I come around for a sleepover to watch to watch the Bodywood with you, and I fall asleep and I wake up and you've brought Lisa to have sex on top of my back. Yeah, that's the end of Transformer. Yeah, it's so, it's so. And also Shilah birth on some on something for I Actually I'm a big fan of Shilah Berth. But they need to they need to address they need to address what what episode he's supposed to

be going through during that film. I assume there is some longer version of that where it's like a nightclub scene and he takes some NDMA or something and he never comes down from it. And that's why he is how he is, because otherwise there's no explanation for any of what happens there. The redesigns and all the robots are awful. I understand, Listen, I understand that you can't stick to the sort. To stick like religiously to the source material would be crazy. I get that, but you

know they all look so crazy. You know, there's a bit I don't know if it's in the first one or the second one. But they've got like devas data in it, where all the constructortions like unite to form this big robot and it's got like two wrecking balls as a bull bag. Why why, Yeah, it's so mad. So that so that transformer has a vulnerability, I guess, so,

I guess. So it's there's so much wrong with it that the animated film, which I loved at the time, and I would happily sit and watch now, but would never ask anybody, even at a sleepover. I wouldn't suggest it. But it was actually really cynically, you know that the origins of it so cynical and horrible that they just wanted to make more toys. They wanted to make a new generation of toys. So they thought, let's kill Ratchet,

Let's kill I and Hide. You know, Iron Hide gets smoked within the first Iron Hide, like a beloved member of the autobots get smoked within three minutes of the opening of the film. Right, nothing optimist Prime does, Like they just kill everyone because I want to bring out a new range of toys, And they had no idea about the psychological effects that was going to have upon the children. Of the world because people weren't ready to

see Optimus Prime die. They weren't ready to see Ultra Magnus step up like some sort of yeah, the Ultra Magnus thing. Do you know, Ultrama, Do you know what I'm talking about? Ultra Magnus, Yeah, the ut Magnus. Yeah, okay, thank you for that. So Ultra Magnus, right, Optimus Prime. Optimus Prime is a truck, Okay, a red truck turns into a robot. Ultra Magnus is a trailer, right, turns into a trailer, and the truck is like an Optimus Prime. But it's like his little assistant. What the fuck is

going on at the time. At the time, as a kid, I thought this is mental. I didn't get it at all. And then hot Roddy became Rodimus Prime, which is like something you'd fucking get on a pawn hub. Surch Yeah, that's at yeah anyway, and he's fishing at the beginning of it's weird hot rods fish anyway. There's lots I could talk to you about it, lies, but you know, well that's why we're here. Do you remember Blaster Going,

which was blaster so sound wave? Who I thought was like the coolest of the Decepticons was a tape cassette player. And then he opened his chest and then one of them come out and turn into a hawk, and another one had come out and turned into Rumble, and he could create earthquakes and stuff. Do you remember that all that sound Wave didn't talk with any emotion, said like sound Weave present, I can't do the robotic voice, but

he would just talk with no emotion at all. And then they decided that the autobots should have like their own version and it was Blaster and he was just like this really cocky black guy. For some reason, is that Optimus primed? Do you read me? We were under attack from the Decepticons. We don't know how much load we going to hold out. It's like that. That was. It was like the fucking Polar Opposite. It was so weird, such a such a such a number of weird decisions.

But I love that film. It's great Unicron on the big planet that transforms into a robot that awesome. Wells, Yeah, Leonard Nimoy played Galbatron. Yeah, there's so many good so many, so many good things. But lovely answer and I'm going to give you twelve points. B. What's the film you would show A lover as a test to see if you should be together? Okay? Can I just say I

sort of fundamentally oppose this question, right? You can when when when people say things like some I showed her fifth I'm sorry, but if you don't like that film, we just can't be in a couple. What how many options have you got? Let me take the fucking arrogance of it. I found I find incredible. What I mean like, let you know how much I love hip hop? Lisa hates hip hop? And do you know why? Because I've

got no choices? Do you I mean, if I if I, what do I do go on the search for someone who loves hip hop because she's not quite perfect enough for me? Who the fuck do I think I am? Well? You've been you know if I can say, maybe you're grieving, but you seem to have lost a lot of weight. However, Yeah, if I was forced to show my show A Lover as a film as a test to see if we should be together, it would be trading places. Okay, Okay, Now there's a number of reasons for this one. I

think it's a very funny film. Okay, it's a great movie, but there are a number of things that I would sort of look to to see, you know, if you if you if we're seeing this as like an assessment of a lover. Okay, now trading places as you know, great film, Eddie Murphy Randolph, the brothers decide whether they're gonna they're going to switch these two guys, Dan Accord and any murh for to see if if circumstance determines your outcomes right, rather than you know what you're made of?

I to this day still do not understand the ending of that film. I've watched that film easily a hundred times. I do not fucking know what them getting that briefcase with the orange juice predictions and then buying and selling it in the way I don't know why that makes them really rich and makes everybody else really I've I've got, I've what I've read up on it. I've watched it back with a view to only focusing on that ending

bit to see if I get it. I still don't understand it, and genuine if somebody can message me telling me what the fuck that ending means. I've talked about it to so many people. Yeah, I don't understand. I don't get it. I don't get how they end up on that island at the end because of the money they've made from screaming cells or something. Right, Yeah, the oj the orange crop isn't what they thought it was

going to be. And now Eddie Murphy's a millionaire. If somebody can join the dot fill in the blanks there, your lover. You want them to enjoy the film and bby able to explain it to you, Well, that's the first thing. So if they understand the ending to that film, that to me, yeah, that's a level of intelligence and perception that I don't I certainly don't have, and neither

does anyone have asked us about. The other test would be the hugely unacceptably racist train scene where Eddie Murphy what Eddie, it's so racist to what Eddie Murphy does is racist, Right, that's how racist that section of the movie is where he plays such a stereotypically African character. It's fucking insane, it's so racist. And then as if to say, oh, hey, Eddie, you know that we don't like black people being the most racist people in films

in Hollywood. Dan Akroyd steps in as there. We talked about Robert Danny Julia earlier. Yeah, Dan Akroyd has not been canceled for this as far as I know, right, No, no, No, he's fine. He's doing enough. Menu he appears in the Yes, exactly right. He turns up on the train as a raster. Now you can talk about it's a sign of the times or whatever. I didn't see that happening anywhere else in any movies at that time. So hang on, it's really complicated. So your love it. I'm your lover in

this and I've come around. You go, things are going well. I'd like you to watch this film just as a sort of test. But I'm thinking, right, but I would. I wouldn't. I wouldn't announce it as a test. I would just put the I really like this film. Do you fancy watching Trading Places? So? So I the test is quite a complicated test. And I like it because it really reveals you're basically saying, am I going to sit through this film? And because I like you, just go.

I loved it. It It was so funny. But what you're actually your perfect result is that I go, I gotta be honest from this. I enjoyed lots of that film. However, I don't understand the ending on the train was incredibly racist, and I don't and by it, I cannot believe Dan a quote has been canceled and I can't explain to you the ending. But other than that, yeah, I really enjoyed it. Any maths very funny. If I say those things, you're sort of boiling it down to a sort of

a post movie monologue. What I would say. What I would say is like during the racist bit, like you know, I might you want me to go, yeah, I think so something like that, like I want to enjoy this, but this is making me feel a bit a bit fun key, something like that, just something mean, or or you might go, do you know what? This is a bit off key, but it was of the time and so or you know, we'll have to ride this out. But I'm not massively keen on it. Okay, So how

about this, right, I say all the things. I even explain the ending to you and I go, it's about beans or something. I explain it in a way that makes you think I know what it's about. Right, So then you're like, this person is so intelligent, so wonderful. This person gets me and is better than me. Right, we start kissing, we start making lab we're getting that sleeping back I brought over. Then I go, oh, before we lay down to sleep, can we put on my film?

I want to show you The Thin Red Line. Well, first of all, there is a part of me that if somebody of identify the racists have been trading places and was able to explain the ending, I'd probably split up with them because they're too good for me. But let's let's let's just assume for the purpose of this, that I've got some sort of self esteem and I decided to stay with you. Yeah, we make love and you put on Thin Red Line. I think I would pretend that Yeah again, Look, I did faithful evening in

this cinema. You'd stick with that. I don't know the idea, the idea of watching that again, I don't know. Man, I say to you as I put it on, I go, I don't know if you've seen this film, but like you just can't not like it because it really rewards you. This film, it gives back what you put in. And that's why I love it, And that's how I think relationships should be Oh god, I don't even know. And

by the way, when we made that, it was fucking great. Yeah. Yeah, but this is also this is this is also post ejaculations. I'm not even got an erection keeping me through this. Yeah, you're in that sort of blank, void paste orgasm. You suddenly sort of don't understand what anything means anymore anyway. God, I mean maybe in that maybe in that context, I'd enjoy the thin red line. I really like it. And then I'd say to a friend, I'd say it to

a friend. You know what do you know I told you about that time went to watch cinema Actually fucking I watched that down and watched it again, and I actually think I liked thinner red line. And then you just and then my mate would go, fucking Brett's really got you where he wants you, doesn't I Oh my god, it's pathetic. You are whipped. Do you know how much you've changed to be with Brett? You're You're pathetic man. We actually a few of us have been talking about this.

Is it true that you showed him in places and you told him that you understood it in a way that none of your friends do. Is that true, you are dick whipped. You are absolutely dick whipped pathetic. Oh what your review of all films know is? Yeah, it's great if you've just come pathetic. Oh god, Rome, If you could show a child one film, what would it be. So I've got a specific film and a specific child for this perfect I would like to show my second

son the film Coco. Now let me explain why. So Coco is an amazing film, Okay, And I think I think that what's great about that film is it teaches you about death and remembering people and what that means. And I think that's such a valuable lesson to children. Was a valuable lesson to anyone, but in particular children stuff. It's part of the reason why they tell you to get a pet, because it's like training for when you die for your kids. I mean, I mean, yeah, does

that makes sense? Yeah? So yeah, it would be Coco because I think it's it's an amazing film. That song remember me, Pixar is so good at choosing music that the refrain from which takes you straight back to the film and where you were when you watch that film. It's incredible. Up. I mean, like the Rata two, the piano thing from Rat, whatever the song is from Rat, all of that Coco that remembered me. My wife Lisa cannot hear that song without starting to cry. It's like

it's amazing. Anyway. The reason I say a specific child is because when that film came out, we were in l A doing the one series special production of Just Another Immigrant one series both because it was a completely finite and complete story and the other reason is because Shaytime didn't want anymore. We we we were going to the cinema quite a bit with the kids, and we went to we wanted to go and watch Coco, and my second son, Alex said to me, I don't want

to go to watch Coco. At the time, may so what was that four years ago? So he would have been five, right, Okay, So he said I don't want to watch Coco. And I said to I'm really sorry, but that is not an option because there's nobody to look after you at home, and you're too young to be left at home on your own, so you are going to have to come and sit come to the cinema with us. And he said, well, I'm not going

to watch the film. And I said, well, that is your prerogative, right, I said, but you are coming to the cinema with us. I'm not kidding you. And this is something he did that I've got so much respect for him for. Right. He sat with his back towards the screen for the entirety of the film. I mean, at first, I thought this is going to last a few minutes, so sitting come and turn around and stop messing about. So I don't want to watch this film, And in a single child protest, he sat and faced

away from the screen for the entire duration. And I got to tell you, man, he became one of my heroes. For that to have to have that level of conviction just amazing. The reason I want him to see that film is he missed a great film to make a point, he missed an incredible film. Yeah, and so I want him to I'd love to show that. So when you say if you could, that suggests a dream scenario. If I could show a child one film, I live with the kid that I'm talking about, and Coco is easily accessible.

I mean, we've got Disney plus, so I don't know why. I like, is going to be a struggle if he remembers, do you know what I mean, like, you're gonna have to set up two screens, one one in front of him and one behind him. One to this. You basically got to have screens, you know, like when you do Rangon Nation, You've got all those screens. I'd say, set them up three hundred and sixty degrees so that whatever position he takes, he's gonna have to fucking see that film.

The only way for him to avoid it is to keep his eyes shut for an hour or forty. Oh yeah, I think that's what it's going to have to be. I really respect that. Okay, good luck to him. But what yeah, I get what's what's annoying about it is you're going to have to get a pet. If he doesn't see Coca, You're gonna have to get him a fucking pet to teach him about death. Well, we are, we are getting a dog, actually right. That's because he hasn't seen Coco. I get it. You can save a

lot of time. Have you got a pet? No, I don't want to learn about death. No, But I mean, have you got a pet for the other reasons? That's the only reason is there's other reasons, like stroking it. I don't know and having something that loves you on conditionally. Yeah. Yeah, no, I don't have a pet. I like it, you know, I like him when I see him knocking about. Yeah, but I've seen Coco, so I get it. Yeah. Yeah. What is the film that made you the most and comfortable?

Have you seen Knock Knock? The Keanu reeves two women to arrive at his door, have sex with him, and then destroy his life? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, what did you think of that film? Do you know what? Truthfully, I haven't seen it. I've seen I know, I've seen lots of bits of it, and I thought this film, I feel like I get it without seeing it. Yeah, you do get it, You do get it. You get it as much as I get it. My my, the reason it made me feel uncomfortable is not the not the threesome.

So basically, he takes these women in, they've their cars broken down or something, and then they put it on him big time, and then he has sex with them in the shower. I believe ye, and Romish says as if he's vague about those details of it. Um, and then they I think, I think I think you see I think you see nipples. Seventeen times in that scene,

I can't but I couldn't tell you for sure. But then they decide that because he's done that he is deserving of any punishment, that they can meet out and meet around and whatever you whatever the word is, and so yeah, and then basically they destroy his life. The reason it made me feel uncomfortable, it's just because he was such a nice bloke, you know, He's seemed like such a nice family man, and then he made this

error and then he was an asshole. And I just thought, it's a really thin line between being a good bloke and being a complete a nun of fucking prick, isn't it. And I think, listen, I'm not suggesting I'm going to have a there's never going to be a threesome on the cards for me. But I now feel like, after I watched that film for a little while, I sort of thought I managed to convince myself I'm just waiting for the thing that tips me over into being an asshole,

and then it'll be you know, well it's yeah. I mean, I guess you won't know until two women in wet T shirts show up at your door saying the car's breaking down and start trying to kiss you. It's from what I've seen of the scene that that's the bit that I'm sort of like. The women need ten as seem like something's up, doesn't seem natural to move from our car's breing down? Can we have sex? I think even if it happened I was a single man, two women helping my door said cars down, shall we have sex?

I think I'd have a few questions before. Do you know what I genuinely say. If two women turned up and they said, our car's broken down, we need someone to stay, I'd say to them, I'm going to be honest with you. I'm a married man. I'm with a woman who's far too good for me. I love my children. I just cannot afford to roll the dice on this situation. So I'm happy to make a phone go from here while you sit in the car. Yeah, I'll get you an uber to wherever you need to go. I'll even

pay for the car to be recovered. But I absolutely cannot let you. And in fact, what I would say is, if you stay on the driveway for any longer, I will call the police and tell me your trespassing. Yeah, I'd just be like, listen, you seem very nice. You're both you know, I understand you. I don't quite understand how the solution is us having sex. Yeah, I'm not saying it isn't, but I feel like there's probably a couple of other options before we get to that, and

maybe we should explore them. But he gets he gets so close to not having sex with them right, like it's all and it's right at the last minute, he just sort of does it and then that's it. It's all over for him. It's all over for him. M Yeah. Anyway, that film I felt uncomfortable just because it made me ask some serious questions about sort of breakdown insticated three Simpson how I'd react to them, Rob Rangonathan, you are an absolute bloody delight. Let's call it. Give the man

a bafter for this Podcasterlane. Now at the end of it, I say this, I'd let you live. I've enjoyed this so much. I'm going to let you live. However, you might die any day, that's up to me. I won't tell you when, but it could happen. So just in case, in your will, you can leave one disc one DVD for your family. Whoever, what DVD are you leaving. I am leaving a little DVD I like to call because it's long, it's romantic. It reminds me of the time when I went in an inappropriate date with my mum.

That will be a dressing back now all seriously, probably it'd probably be playing trains because I really love it. And so Ye, Romes, I bloody love you love. Is there anything you would like to tell people to look for listen to watch out for coming up? No, great, my advice, turn on your Telly. It'll be there. It'll be there in you won't be mad about it.
