I would like that for all my show. You can you can save it, you can play I would play that as you're coming on to the stage. Yeah, Sequisa, let's let's say, let's tell the true right, we've never met. I've been a fan of yours, have senior stand up
on TV. However, last night we had two gigs together, but we couldn't see each other because you were opening in one and I was closing the other or whatever that means. So we kept swapping past each other. I didn't even see you. Now were the gigs? Yeah, we literally just went two. It was They were lovely gigs. One was very sweaty, Yeah it was. Yeah, what it's always a lovely show at Always be comed Age. But yeah, it was a great shows, great shows. Two smashes. How
was it for you? That Always be comedy? Which is the best gig in London Aways. There was a new venue and it was a sauna in the it. But then I thought for you, I was like, oh, this is good practice for edywhere that's what that just watching get an audience slowly melt in front of you. As you get through, you're twenty like ten minutes and you're like, they look shorter than the start of this gig. I'm just going to have fans for everyone, I think, I think,
great idea, just get everyone a fan. And it's really like just put it here. So is this you're you're about to go to Edinburgh? Right? Should we talk about all this? I'm fascinating. This is your first hour, it's my first hour. I'm very excited, very nervous, very anxious, very all the emotions at this moment in time, and I am gearing up. We're gearing up for the month and it's gonna be it's gonna be an experienced. That is the word we're going with. What what time men were?
For the listener who may come and see you, it will be eight twenty five at the pleasant below. It's called life of the Party because it's gonna be a five. Yeah, why isn't it called bugging Primetime, Prime Time Superstar. Now there's a lot of competition out at the moment, like everyone's doing a shot. You're the only one I've heard of going up there. What is have you done? Have you done Edinburgh before in smaller bills and make bills and whatnot? Yeah, so I went up and did like
a split show. I did like I run my own compilation show for two weeks and then in twenty seventeen I was in the big if Your New Comedy Award final up there. But I have never done the full run, right, And if you want to give me any tips, what I think it's going to be just yet. Experience is
the word will go with okay is my tip. My tip is accept that at some point you're going to lose your fucking mind, and it will probably be The skill is how long you can hold that off for, Like, if you can make it to two weeks before you lose your fucking mind, you're doing really, really well. I think when I did my first I was a week
in lost my mind. You will lose your mind at some point, and the only thing you can tell yourself when you lose your mind is you must try to maybe sometimes it's worth like I don't know, like watching the news or something to remind yourself that this isn't all there is and the outside of this bubble there are other things happening, and that this isn't everything. But it will completely feel like everything, and you will completely lose your mind. But it will also be amazing and
you'll have the best time ever. And make sure that you enjoy all the bit it's around it. I am going to be looking forward to sleep. That's probably the most important thing I'm looking forward you because I'm not probably like two months. Okay, I'm not sure that's okay. I mean, good luck with that, good luck with no that could happen. You could sleep by space somewhere. I think I think it could have happened. Are you living with? I'm living with five of the comics. One of them
is also debuting called lou Fits. Sasha Ellen's also in the flat, just hanging out with some nice people. The only problem with the flat is, even though it's very central, it's on the eighth floor of a building. Yeah, with no lift, so the fires will be sexy, but maybe you will sleep every time you get out of those stairs. You'll need a nat and I also tell you my favorite story of you, which you won't remember. Please we
have met. In twenty eighteen, we did a show for Stuart Laws in Angel and I took a self to be with all of you. Your you a castor Stewart and Dark and Start has Friends gig. Yeah, and I was wearing I looked very hood right and I had like a cap on my head back to front eye choker selfie. And I first thing I said when I came on stage, because I was basically put before you all, was hi, guys, just so you know. I'm not their
drug dealer, just so you know. And Laws was like and that was the best thing as anyone ever represented in terms of this line up, which was a very great show. I didn't see you at that show. I didn't see you at that show, and I think I was I was late or early one or the other. I have not seen you do stand up life. You didn't see me now you had to leave straight after your set. That's why. That's what happened, just keeps happening every time you do a gig with me. No, I
don't know why. Yeah, please please don't take it personally. It's Okay, next time we have I will not book another gig. I'm going to keep that. You don't have to do that for me. If anything, I should do that for you. If you need a new PA, I will come around. Sakisa. Yes, I've forgotten to tell you something. I've forgotten to tell you something. It's quite bad that
I didn't tell you this in the beginning. I know you're you're sort of you've got a time limit on this podcast because you're I forgot what it is you've got to do after this. What is it? It's a crazy you've got to do a Well, you've died, you're dead, Yes, maybe, so maybe don't worry about that sort of thing anymore. Okay, okay, I can appreciate that. Yeah, how did you die? I
died after rescuing a cat from a roof. So I've rescued the cat from the top of the roof, yet a house just climbed up, climbed up, rescued this cat, went through the attic onto the roof right, rescued this cat, brought it back down to its parents. Well, that threw it back down to its parents, I should say. And then I, unfortunately have fallen off the roof and died. Okay,
I've got a couple of follow up questions. So the cat, the cat could have jumped off the roof, but instead you've gone up, So you've gone up the attic and then what smashed your way through the roof? Then he picked up this cat and chucked it at its parents. So there's two cat parents down there, daddy cat and the mummy cat. And how are they catching the cat? Was they parents? And my owners should say? Let go throw our face the cat at the owners. They've caught
the cat. The cat, the cat is safe. Yeah, And then how do you fool? Which? Why do you land? I've tripped and fallen on a piece of brick that has not been fixed properly by a diy man. And I've tripped, fallen backwards and rolled off the edge of the house, fallen and smashed. So I've died, but I've died a hero. Did you die on impact instant? Yeah? Is there any part of you that thinks it looked funny? And we're pleased as a comedian? How you rolled off
the reef? Yes? I think people were laughing as I rolled because it would have been like roly Poly kind of situation. I think people would have enjoyed that. But then once I've hit the floor, they've gone right, yeah, and then they feel terrible for laughing. Yeah, then they feel terrible for Yeah, well they've forgotten that they've laughed because now I'm dead. Now there is What about the people holding the owners of this cat, how do they
feel their lives are probably ruined? Well, now they feel honored and like privileged that I saved their cat and died their life. Since I gave my life, I gave my life for their cat. Sins? Right? What had the cat done? What sins of the cat? I'm assuming it was missus up on the roof? Yeah? And what had that doi man left on the roof when he hadn't fixed the brick that the cat was after? I think they were in cahoots. Yeah, I think I think maybe it was a vendetta against me. Two obviously cohlts me
onto this roof and then for me to die. If anything, they want my life insurance, which is not gonna life worth nothing? The cat the man going to claim the laager it's nothing. Do you worry about death? No, I worry about living more. That's probably then you want it to be overseas Yeah. Yeah, So like I'm like thirty five years old, so we're halfway through life. Like we're halfway there. I mean, for the record, I think people
are living longer generally these days. But okay, sure, if you're saying you're going to be dead at seventy, that's quite young these days. I think that I think that'd be quite cool. I think, oh, listen, I'm hard out at sixty, I agree, But seventy's good. It's pretty young, I think. I think if you go out at that age, you're like you've had your best life and like you're not going to a point where you're going to be
like burdening people. Yeah, you still had you can still party at the I feel like necessarily, who's a good age to like go out, No offense to people who are older, You carry on living your best life. No for any listeners over over seventy. Sakisa is a huge fan of your all your work. Yeah, you carry on living your best life. I wish you continue to live. Yeah, okay, but with your choice of dead at seventy, So you're halfway through your life, and so what is your fear now?
My fear now is that how I will never learn how to swim properly? Okay, I mean, look, Sakissa, forget the gig, forget the gig. I'm teaching you to swim. That's insane. Okay, you got thirty five years to learn to swim, and it's it's actually quite a doable thing. Well, I know how to swim, but I don't know how to swim properly. Like I'm too fearful of what's the big large defense, thank you very much, the defense of like this swimming pool. Also very wary of swimming pools
because things that have happening in pools like lasters. Okay, Chlory, you know what about the sea? Then if we just went to the sea, forget a pool, so you're just instead of swimming with you're swimming in actual sewage. Yeah. I actually bore comfortable swimming in the sea that I am in a swimming pool. My problem, obviously the sea, is that the sea seems to be never ending. It doesn't seem to go. There has no stop point. Yeah,
there's no For me and my dad. When me and my parents go back home to buys, my dad will always be swimming like the furthest out he can go and I'm like, I can't even see you. And then at some points I'm like, is that a well And I'm like, no, that's my dad. That's that's the levels we are at. And I'm not going to trying to cut up my dad. But that's quite big. Hello, you've you've said that that from really far away, he looks like a whale, which suggests he's fucking enormous. A couple
of things we have to talk about. Well, One I teach you to swim. Probably that's fine, don't worry about that. You've got You've got enough time. But two, you're you're from my favorite place, but bade us you were born there. Now, I was born here by Happy and so I go back and forth every single year, and I've lived there for a bit. So yeah, can you just tell me everything because I love that. I think it's the best place I've ever been so happy. You can come and
stay in my house. It's a dirt bag. Yeah, there's there's no Wi Fi. Though there's no Wi Fi. It's in the country. Good, I don't want it. I'll come stay a proper about that. Okay, that's a deal. It is in the middle of the country though, so I live in Saint John, so there is nothing much there, so to be quite a dry swim. If you look at what peace and quiet and some good rum, because there is a rum hot next to my house, then we can we can do that. I'm all for it.
I don't know where to start. We haven't got the time. What can you tell me about? Barbade Us is obviously very very small, but we are probably the most friendliest people in the world. A lot of friendly people there. We love Rum. Isn't it got the best? Hasn't it statistically got the best education in the world. It's like that, It's top three, It's one of the It's one of the top places that you can like, especially in the Caribbean,
be educated. They have very good schools there. But it's better than America or something like there was something I read It is like one of the best in the work. Yeah, it's better than America. So if you want to send your kids somewhere, send them to bob It. Yes, you'll get a sexy tan and good education. But we are the tourists for Rum and Rihanna. Those are probably on tourism. Those are three because exports, you're very good at all three to be fair, Yeah, and I would we have
recently become like independent from this whole Commonwealth queen situation. Yeah, it's interesting that you do both as in, you know, the sort of couldn't be more different, you know, London and Barbados. And is there any part of you that's like, I'd love to just be there, just here or is it all great? If I had the especially genal pandemic, I was still working from home, so I had no choice but to be in this country. But if I had a choice, I wouldn't really have spent my pandemic
in Barbados. I honestly thought about that. I thought, could I just get to when everything went they looked out, I was like, how hard would it be to get to Barbados and I just live on the beach just in a tent, and that would be a good way to do luck there. So for what I did was they gave people visas for a year to go out
to Barbados if they could work from home. Obviously it's like five hours difference, So they were saying, if you could work from home, you can, we can give you a visa four years to live in Barbados, and they actually showed a documentary on Channel four about it, and I was so upset, so upset that this was happening, because I understand why it was happening, because yeah, obviously our tour and got hit by the COVID. So they were like, well, how else can we get these people
are to count? Let's just give them a freezi up. What do you think you have? What do you think happens when you die? I think that how you have a choice of door where you could either go left or right, and then you don't know which door goes to wear so like left will go to like our Virgin of Heaven, and then Hell will be on the other side, for you don't know which door it is. And then each day they just mix it up. Do you only get one shot or every day you get
to go to heaven? So every day as a pressed up, so you could spend a day in heaven and then next morning your face with the doors again, you could spend a day in hell. This is the first time I've been told the truth that is that is wild and what happens in in hell? Do you know? I think there's a lot of like manual work. I think
it's just sort of manual work. Like, yeah, the devil representate or like whoever the devil's representation is on that day, because obviously the devil can't work seven days a week. Fore hundred and sixty five days a year. You need to help in it a holiday, so like obviously his assistant or whoever is like running that place like a manual labor situation, I think, and everyone gets paid like
minimum wage. I just think it's very hard. There is a minimum wageing in Hell though, that's sort of impressive. Has it been unionized? I mean, you have to have to be fair in some sort of way. But Heaven is obviously like the opposite. Like everything's like whiten and gold. Everyone's making it rain all the time, the striffs in the corner, right, Yeah, it seems finance this is a big thing in Heaven in Hell. It surprised me. I just sort of feel like we're I'm supposed capitalism. I
guess capitalism always wins in it, doesn't it there. Surprised there's financial institutions in heaven and now. But interesting, well, I mean we've got you've got to like eat. Yeah, you've got to make it with even somewhere. Well, listen, today you chose the right hand door and you opened it and it was heaven. You're in heaven and you are more than welcome. Everyone's a huge fan. They saw you at Edinburgh. They loved your show. They said that was the Prime Time's best show, and they heaven is
filled with your favorite thing. What's your favorite thing? Probably wrestling. I don't think I want it actually feeled to be wrestless. Let's go back, so my favorite thing chicken. Let's just fill it with thank you. Okay, Well, I'm afraid I have to go with your first answer. It is absolutely filled with restless people. You come in, people are buddy slamming you, picking you up, clotheslining you. But nothing hurts.
It's all fun. It's all good fun. The chairs are made of wrestlers just sort of squatting and you still and there's like ladders people are jumping up all the time. Anyway, it's a great time and they were delighted to see you. But they want to talk about your life through film, and the first thing they ask is what's the first film you remember seeing? Sakisa The first film I remember
seeing is Home Alone Great? And it was because my mom wanted to let me know if I was disbehaving, this is what's going to happen, what you're going to be? Hang on, Okay, it wasn't. It wasn't you were going to be the burglars and smashed in the face a lot. It was more Yeah, it was like, this is the consequences of what will happen if you continue to be a pain in my ass child? What did you think
of this? I don't think I paid attention because I was still very much of pain in the ass because I was I'm the only child, so my mom was very much yeah, I'm the only child. So like I used to say, used to I still get away with quite a lot of things I shouldn't been getting away or like I have this this way of like convincing my parents to make me to do things for me.
So I think my mom was very much like, I don't want to like discipline you the way that a typical West Indian parents would normally discipline you back in those days were spanking and belts were like a thing. Yeah, I think she wanted to go down like this is what the white people are doing I would make I would treat you like a white person. This is probably more scary so white people instead the spanking, they are abandoning children. But it had no effect. Did it make
you think, well, quite fun, that's the problem. It's quite a mixed message. He's having a great time most of the time. Yeah, I think he's having an awesome time in that form. And like, obviously there's some classic moments like the classic face which you come the tourist from it. What is the film that you were the most scared of? What scared you most? Do you like being scared? I
don't like being scared. I'm not gonna lie like I don't like roller coasters and stuff like that, because when you get to the top, I'm like, I don't want to meet Jesus right now. I've got five more years of my life to continue. Yeah, I've got to pay five years to learn to swim. Yeah. So, um, Candy Man, I remember watching So. I used to have a TV in my room and I think I turned it on at like late at night when I was like eleven or something, and Candy Man was on, and I remember
the film. I've not seen it in the four, so like it's I saw one clip, you know, when you're turned on the TV in like one bit comes on and there it was a bit where some feeling was happening, and I was like no. I think I remember wearing my bed and going no, thank you very much, and then for at least a good two months I couldn't sleep the light off. So it was. Yet it's a bit scary. It's so interesting the power of these things that you have only seen a clip of it and
that attornted your whole life. I get it. Man, Karda is a great thing. I mean, I dare you to watch the whole thing. It's a really good film. But clearly no might be less scary in the context of the whole film, but I'm lying to it is really scary. I think as I got older, I think because all these scary movies kept coming out, so like obviously all the Jason films, Michael, I've not seen any of those films, so I've not seen it. I think it's all Saw one and that was it. Yeah, I don't even think.
I like really watched sow as well, because I'm just like, but I generally find certain movies scary like it just I'm just like, this is going to scare me for a while. And I don't need to be scarred. Life's already scarring. I don't need any more scars, thank you. Yeah, yeah, my mum. It's clesily threatening to leave me home alone. I don't need anywhere with this. What what's the film that made you cry? The nice do you cry? You a cryer? I am a cry And the annoying thing
is is that I a crier? Anything that is like slightly sad, So like obviously the Tactics month in game Vengers End Game, like that last thing I can't watch again, Like I was very movie, I have to fast forward that bit. We can't watch that bit anymore. I can watch the whole movie, I just can't watch that bit anymore. So we have to fast forward that. Um. But I
actually I think I cried the most at seven. Oh wow, okay when yeah, when he opens up the box, and I'm like, oh, I remember quite quite a lot about that, which is probably the weirdest thing to have to cry about. But like cheer jerkers, I like, that's the first time seven has been the answer to that. That's really interesting. I get it. What is the film that people don't like it? It's not critically acclaimed, but you love it and you think everyone else is a stupid idiot. There
are so ready, there was so ready. It's a difficult choice. I'm not gonna lie like my second and third option as were like show Girls, Yeah, is all of that? Underworld is another one? Okay, good share, But the one I think is the top one is a Queen of the Damned with them Aliyah? Yeah, alright, m Queen and the Damned tell me everything. It was because it's obviously like it's meant to be a prequel to Interview the Vampire, and it was Eliah's last film, and it was it's
not a good film. Oh that's cool, but I actually like the Vampire stuff like type films, even if they're do done badly. So apart from a couple, I will watch that one, okay, and I like and obviously it's Alia's last thing and she actually looks really good in it. That's a bit iffy. What accent is she doing? Can you do an imprisonment? And I was like, okay, Leah's got to do it. But I can't do anything because you aren't here, so yeah, yeah, is she showed the
right door? She is in heaven? But yeah, queen or the dam And I don't know the guy who played the main guy, Stuart Townsend? Is it him? Is it him? I think so? Look at I'm guessing Stuart Townsend. That's my guess, Stuart Townsend. Yes? Is it Stuart? Oh? Well done you, yes, well done? This is huge. It doesn't even look like him though. When you look at pictures, do you see? I do see, but like it's just oh, it's just very yes, not itself is very bad as
I'm sure you could look it back at it. Go ahead. My question for you, you don't like horror, you don't like being scared, but you love a vampire. Traditionally considered horror things. They were was sexy, but they are sort of classified as horrors vampires they're horrid things. Is it because they're sexy? I think it's because they are sexy, Like they've got this mystif serious aura about them where they're like, yeah, I'm gonna bite you. I love you.
If you remember you're like Jim carrying the mask or it's making attention. Yeah I'm here. Yeah you would you like to live forever and people, you know what I have thought about this before. I think it would just get a bit bored and repetitive. I think I would lean like a new type of blood, Like something needs to happen to the blood. Like you know what, You've got chicken and you've got ten different types of chicken
or twenty. You can do so much for chicken or just food and girals, but obviously from me it's chicken. I think it's the same with blood, Like if it's like deep fried blood or right, well, you've got three types of blood, right type A type type something else? You already got three. The only one way to find out, I suppose why don't we do it? That's a fucking Edinburgh show. We do a taste test, but we put the audience have to donate blood three different types. We
blindfold you which is type? Oh I love that show. I don't know if we could like hygienically do that listen with vampires that don't matter, we don't need. We're gonna live forever. I also think if I was going to be a vampire, I will have to be like laid, like I will have to like walk out during the night, like I've got stuff to do, like I need to go to the bank. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you need one
of those twenty for our bank banks and stuff. Again, financial worries as someone living forever, You're absolutely right, you would have. You still got to pay your bills, haven't you. You can't just live in the castle at some point, it's gonna get repossessed if you're not christ. They never talk about that in the vampire films? Do they keeping keeping the fucking money going? Jesus exactly? How he's cleaning
the house during the day, right, how is that? You know who's doing the one who's cooking up the type of blood? Who's making this blood pudding you were talking about? Is that dessertre? What is the film that you used to love but you've seen it recently and you do not love it anymore? For whatever reason? Is that it's Transformers? Great answer? What changed for you? I really watched it and I realized it shit right, just just the acting.
Like I am quite obsessed with like those kind of films generally, anything that's like fantasy slash super hero kind of sci fi, kind of weird kind of sense of film.
But I would properly, Like I remember watching that like twenty times, and every time it used to be on Sky, I would watch it, and then it came on Sky the other day I was like, Okay, let's just watch and I was like, oh no, no, I don't understand Transformers and I'm not thick, but I did watch Transformers, and I who was very confused the whole time, and at the end I used to do stand up about this. But it's genuinely a question I have, which is at
the end of Transformers, Bumblebee, who is his car? It's Chilebeth's car, but he's also a robot that transforms and is his friend. And at the end of Transformers he gets off with Megan Fox on top of his car, but his car is his mate. Has he forgotten that he's now having sex on top of his friends? Be not going excuse me, you're on top of me to be forgotten that literally five minutes ago we were chatting.
Now you're just using me as a bed. He's just doing it for the team, that's what it's like for the team, but he's not been in It's very odd. It makes no sense the story in general. When you watch two three and four and five. You're generally like, how is this? How are they still able to try and bring their their planet? How is how is that still happening? Haven't we dealt with what? How does this work out? Auto suck is still happening? I thought we've
got rid of that? How is Megatron still alive? How is this still happening? Yeah? Yes, all good questions. What's the film that means the most to you? Not necessarily the film itself is good, but because the experience you had around seeing the film will always make it special to you. Sakisa is Love and bar Getball great lovely film,
but yeah, the experience of it. Yeah, it was basically the first film that I really got into emotionally in terms of the story of the film, but also it was the first film in terms of like what they considered to be black cinema was like a prominent film for me to be like seeing these black charcters on stage who were on stage on film that were like having a voice that had the emotions that were not just the people in like the side who were behind
the counterl like just that Sassy's black friend. None of that was in these films and there was a run of these films that were happening that includes like Love Drove, The Brothers, Baby Boy Friday, where it was just like people actually telling these stories from a black person's point of view, where it was just like we are the same and like we have these issues and these problems that we're just trying to overpast, and we are like ten fall in love and we do have these problems.
So it was it was for me quite prominent to see on a big step a big screen. Sorry, but I've always found out annoying that whenever they did show these films in the UK, they would show them eight years after they were like premiered um in America part and then they would always show them at like one o'clock in the morning. And yeah, like it's a sort of specialist like cinema. It's yeah, you're right, and like these films can be mainstream films as well, just like
they Love Jones and Love and Bazzi were absolutely completely mainstream. Yeah, there's nothing. Yeah, they're great story films. So yeah, great answer, what is the film you most relate to? Sakisa? I would actually say Black Panther. I love it. Please tell me why just because it tells the story of like warrior women. M I think that's for me, that's that's the thing that came out of that film was these
warrior women who are a ride or die. And for me, that's what I've been surrounded by all my life, is that my friends are like my ride or die, that we are we have this connection, that we're always there supportive or of each other. And that's what I felt Black Tanks for apart from other things in the film related to For me, it's just such a it's just
such a great film. Yeah, and I generally like connected with it in so many aspects of identity, who you are and like being unique because like I've always tried to be molded by my family or my mom specifically, she always wants me to be something where I've always been felt like I want something else. That sounds wrong,
What does he want you to be? So my mum always wanted me to be like a professional person, so like a lawyer, doctor, which I am not doctor lawyer, but she always wanted to be one of those one worded things. Why I always wanting to be something creative, like, yeah, I wanted to be as I wanted to be, and yeah I was now a comedian, but like I never had the opportunities to do them because my mom wanted. I felt like I wanted to make my mom proud. It was a difficult thing for me growing up at times.
What I'm watching this film was just like you've got watching like ch Carlo having this like leg like legacy that he has to live up to and him having to make a decision about how he was going to rule this kingdom and how he was going to make it his own was like another thing that I related to. I love it. Yeah, sorry, it's what I'm here for. Is your mom happy with your stand up? Oh? Yeah, she's happy now, because I would be once we got a TV Oh this is what I meant. When I
meant a professional I meant a professional TV star. Yeah that's what I meant. Yeah, Um, what is the sexiest film you've ever seen? Sakisa if all intentions correct? All
intentions is a sexy fo Yeah. I remember watching this when I was a teenager and I was like, oh, this is a sexy films in love with Ryan Philippe at that in that film, and ever since then, I've been like Ryan Philippe obviously like got great actors in it who obviously like started my teenagers in the show like twenty wherever they are trying to pretend to be
teenagers twenty five. Even though it's like, yeah, even though it's not like the greatest film in the world, it is just like quite a sexy film, and obviously it's quite modern. So like, there are certain bits in it where I'm like, oh, Ryan Philippe, take off that shirt. Come on, mate, we've been Saturday for ten minutes of your share time. What are we paying for? Exactly? There's
a subcategory to this question. Okay, traveling Bone is worrying wide ones a film you found arousing that you weren't sure you should skisa, Oh, it's gonna sound really weird. Um for some weird reason, I generally found the Mummy quite arousing. The Brendan phraser the Mummy or the Tom
Cruise the Mummy, Oh no, not the Tom Cruise. Definitely, No, Okay, what I mean it's a fascinating answer, and I'm going to need more detail what you found the Mummy, the Mummy rasing or no. I think the idea of like, so I really liked at the beginning of these films. So it's the same with Mummy one and Mummy too.
The packages at the start or the like the little start bit where they tell you about the history of the Mummy, right, and I like the idea or like these men who are like in like little skirts, just like I'm here to like yet what I want by the means of magic and like stuff like that, and then being like having this damns all distress kind of moment with Brandon Frasier I find quite sexy, even though it is him killing a mummy, mummy for for the love,
I think he was quite the most. The thing that actually I found quite sexy, which is why I keep laughing, is is when he's on isn't one of the end scenes, but he's like about to like run to like save his his partner. I can't remember her name in the film, Yeah, but I don't remember her character name. Um, he's trying to say that the partner, and she's like I need help, I need help, and he's like, you know what I'm
gonna do. I'm gonna get this like magic sword. This is amazing and like that's some weird throwing thing and you're like, oh, it's actually quite sexy. That's what I want to happen. But I want to be like tied up to like something and someone like doing that for me magic sword blade to kill a mummy so I can get rescued. That. I was like, you are going to get You're gonna get some good hint to them. That's what happened. That's a really lovely story. That's a great,
great answer. You think. No, I'm thinking it through and I'm like, it all makes sense to me. I have no follow up questions. Like damsel in distress moments I always find I think it's quite exactly. Yeah, it's interesting you're talking about that because because there's been a real shift away from damsels in distress. They're frowned upon as a as a trope in films these days. And it's interesting. It is true you like it that you're like bringing
back damsels in distress. No, not all the time. It's just like certain like classics, the occasional, the occasional damsel in distress. Yeah, the occasional ones. The way you're like, well, also because also in that film, Rachel's character is also quite strong. She's what, she's smart, she knows what she's and she's also rescuing him, especially in the second film,
which is what I like. Like this team power they have together like they are archie and that's what I find quite great when you have those kind of films where it's not just one man saving a woman, it's like they're saving themselves from me, like for each other. Yeah, I love it. But occasionally, occasionally you can be in distress, Okay, occasion. What is the film you could or have? What's the most over and over again? Gold Finger, Leah, gold Finger.
I love this film because obviously it's a classic film, so this is actually the second choice. The first choice is Living Let Die. A fascinating answer, because it's a really bad film actually, like it's not the greatest Bond film, but I love the scenery in it. I generally love the fact that how it's sets. My favorite thing in this film is like when they're doing this New Orleans.
It's the opening Steeler do the New Orleans a bit and someone dies the food get so put him down in this free box, this coffin, and then the music starts playing they one's dead ancing. The whole concept of it is even like down to like the crocodiles getting throne and Roger Moore's trying to like jump on these crocodiles, which just so like old school like scenery. It's great.
The big black guy with the hook, the metal hook, he's a great character, and he comes back at the end the holes, and like Jane Seymour's obviously in it, being the damsel in distress who like read tarows. I just like the whole thing and I could watch it from beginning to end. It's not one of those forms that I have to skip through. I can watch it from the beginning to end. Brilliant, brilliant. What is I don't like to be negative, Skiza, do you? But let's
do it quickly. What's the worst film you've ever seen? Oh? This is easy, man, this is so easy. Twilight Breaking Breaking Saga Part one? Part one Twilight Twilight one bad, bad film, but Part two made up free You're happy with Part two? Part two is equally as bad, Like it's not as bad as part one, like part so. Oh it's bad acting like the whole film is like Saga, like the whole series is bad acting And there is
no chemistry with anyone, There is no chemistry. I'm like, Howard, were you too dating because like this is, this is, this is, but they were dating in real life. Yeah, that's why there's no chemistry on screen. That's why I haven't seen these films. But if what you're saying is true, it is because they were dating, you need to see the film because it is so bad, right, Oh, so bad? Um the acting. Number one, there's a scene when they have they consummate their marriage, which is probably the most
awkward scene I have ever steal in my life. And then the actor is just carry on being bad, and for some reason, I just really want to punch cursing Stewart in the face for some where. I know, I know it's a precious, but I just really do. It's a tremendous actor. And since this, since this, I'm glad they've moved on. I'm glad they've moved on. He did
very well in Batman. I'm glad he has moved on. Okay, I think obviously these kind of films they have to like they were young, they have to like learn stuff or do what the director says, and the director says do some bad acting. And that's why often a direction that I've been given Yes, could you do some bad acting? Okay? What is You're a comedian, you're in comedy, you're in a multi multi multi nominee. What is the film that made you laughed at most? I like Breaking Saga part two,
that's good. It's mainly because of this baby, this baby that turns up and then if you've heard it about it, but like, yah, baby the baby grows it like a year a day or something like weird, like I don't know what like technology they've used. It just looks every time we popped on the screen, I was dying. They thought this was a good idea, okay, because they tried to do something similar with transformers too. Um well there those like two newly transformers in That was very much
you could tell with CGI in it. But like Twilight Breaking Saga too, oh babe, that was part babe. Do you think the director said maybe a bad baby as well? Yeah, grow faster, let's do CGI instead of actually getting a child in every day? Yeah, a different shot. Sakisa, you have been a wonderful guest. I have loved talking with you. However, when you you went up your attic, there was a cat on your roof right. You went up through the attic. You smashed through the attic ceiling onto the roof. You
climbed up onto the roof like a goddamn hero. And the owners, not the parents of the cat, but the owners of the cat, human owners, were at the bottom of the house and they were like, oh god, we'll the cat be all right. And you climbed up there like a superhero, and you picked up the cat and you went and you chucked the cat overarm at the pen at the owners like it was an American football,
and they caught the cat. The cat was safe, and you went yeah, and you celebrated, and then you tripped on a brick that had been left there by the diy man who was in cahoots with the cat, trying to get your life insurance. And you spun around and the owners on the ground thought you were being funny, doing a little turn, and you tripped over backwards. You rolled off the side of the roof, and for a second it was very funny, but then you landed, crunch
straight down. You died on impact. Your skull, your bones were crushed, your feet crushed, every part of you, dust inside, dust and blood. Blood for blood pudding. Anyway, I was walking past with a coffee, you know what I'm like, and I see this messal for the owners screaming. The cats run away again. The cats run up on another roof. In a way, your whole this whole thing was pointless, And I go, what's happened to you? With Sakisa, me,
our diy man and cat. They've run off to the life in shorts place to see what money they can get. Turned out nothing, They've got nothing out the thing. Anyway, I have to scrape you off the pavement, and I have to bring a digger to dig up some of you because you're so embedded in the in the in the cement anyway, get all of you in the in the coffin. But there's more than I was expecting, what with all the cement and stuff. It's absolutely rammed in there.
There is only really enough room in this coffin to slide one DVD in the side with you for you to take across to the other side. And on the other side it's movie night every night. What film are you going to show the wrestlers on movie night in heaven? When it is your turn? Sekisa Blackham, it will be black Panther forever, Yes, forever? They need to laugh? Yeah, what kind of forever? Sekisa have the most wonderful Edinburgh. I hope you win all the awards, including Bret Poster
