eleven of Films to be Buried with the Resurrection. Hello, and welcome to Films to be Buried with the Resurrection. It is I Brett Goldstein, and I am joined today by a man, a boy, a handsome fellow, a model, a glamor model, an actor, a writer, a producer, a lover, a fighter, but only with his heart, a beautiful, strong, loving heart, and this is so much of that is wrong, and a kindness that bears that people cannot handle, all wrapped up in an underlying bow of ruthlessness that will

kill you if you cross him. Please welcome to the show, my angel, my love and the owner of my heart. Eres is back from the dead. It's only mister dame you I'm alive. I'd so much of that is actually incorrect. What are you lying to the people? Bro? I tell it, I tell it like it is. You know, you know me. I'm famous for it. Yeah to Heab, welcome back. What it absolute delight to have you back on the show. I know I speak for all the listeners when they say this is the one I'm signing up to the

patroon for, because I want to see that point. Because let's face it, yes you're a talent, Yes you're a personality, Yes you've got all the skills in the world, but also you're fucking fit. And that's what they say to you. Now, for those of you who don't obsessively follow to you might not know that my screen saver. It is and will be until probably the dare die. I'd imagine it's I actually wonder when you know, and it's the same

for me. For those who don't know, your screen is really pixelater faced, but genuinely I made you my screen, savor. I can't remember the day that it happened, but ever since, whenever I look at my phone, it genuinely makes me smile and I think. You know, people go, I'm looking at your finds bad for I'm like, no, it's like a little dopamine hit. I looked down, there's you, and

I go, everything's that's sweet. I mean, it's gonna be weird and we like getting married and stuff, and our spouses are like, can you can you change it to me now? And I'm like, oh yeah, oh yeah, no, I suppose it would be if we didn't, if we didn't marry each other, but you know, oh yeah, let's see. The life is still long and you know what I mean, So don't worry. Yeah, but at a time what we're

currently filming season three of ted Lesso. When we didn't we first do this the day season one came out. We did this on the yeah, the day of season one, which I listened to the original version when I died the first time, and it was so sweet, bro, like I felt like such a long time ago. So it was just yeah, it was really nice, like we had no idea what was coming, Like that was the first three episodes. It just dropped and yeah, we're in a middle of the pandemic. Can you say in under a minute,

how your life has changed since then? Oh? Man, running, acting, jumping, screaming, crying, murdering, murdering people. No, that was my life changed. I think. I don't know. I just feel I feel a bit. I feel a bit maturer. I have a bit more money now actually, which is which is actually really good. I've been working a bit more like I'm doing. Yeah, we've done two more ted lassos. Had you done The Power?

This is this is this is. What's funny is when we did the last podcast, like we filmed a bit of the Power and then covid stopped us and it still hasn't released. It will release next year, and by that point, I think I'll be getting re resurrected. We get murdered again on your podcast. But yes, so The Power still isn't finished, which is really funny because like I got that job before, before I got Tabasso, And

we've done three seasons and the power. But but like I have, they've shown me a soft look and a soft cut of the first three episodes, and I think it's incredible. I think it's amazing. It's gonna be so like you know when you watch something and you and I'm doubling tripling down on it, like it's it's gonna be really cool, really important. Yeah, man, especially like given where we're at right now and like America just going to war on women. I think it's going to be

like a really significant and impactful show. So yeah, I can't I can't wait to finish it, release it and see it. Yeah. Yeah, that's very cool. Are you able to watch yourself? Are you happy watching yourself as creating or do you find it weird? And I think I'm used to it now, you know, I don't know how you feel about it, but yeah, I'm just I'm used to it. Do you do what you think you were doing? Sometimes? Sometimes definitely not, like what the hell is going on?

That's not what was happening in my mind, But for the most part, for the most part, it is. Yeah, it is what I think I do, and I think it's weird. I don't know how you feel about it.

But I think it's also because like like you, you probably don't even audition any more, mister flipping Emmy Winner, but like when you have to do when when you have to do self tapes, like you just have to watch yourself back in order to do audition, and for people who don't know self tapes, so like when you record yourself doing a scene and you send it off to like the people that choose who act in their shows, and so that's that's that. But like you have to

watch yourself a lot. And so when I graduate from drama school, like I just have to do loads of those. So I think I got used to doing it pretty quickly. But then when you when we started doing te Lasso, like when you're filming for so long, you have to learn how to not watch yourself in order to do you know what I mean, in order to know what's going on or know what your your face and hands and body. So so yeah, so I think I'm used to it now. I kind of like it. It's cool.

Well listen, I I like watching you. Do you like watching yourself back? How do you feel about it? I mean it took me when when we made Super BARB, Like I hated. I hated it so much. The first time I had to watch myself back I was like, oh my god, let's just cancel that out film as

a deserter. And then I did find for their fan that I sort of had to do it, watch it three times to get the sort of shame and hatred out, and then I could watch it a bit more objectively so that we could edit it and go, Okay, so let's just imagine this isn't me and it's someone else. And but I am often surprised by, Oh, that's not what I thought my face was doing, you know, in

a good way. No, No, it's just like you think, you think I'm probably doing that, and then you see it and you go, but I definitely wasn't doing that. I think I had the same thing when I watched Anthony. They sent it to me early before it fully came out, and I had to watch it like four times, like you said, in order to just like get all of the I mean, just get everything else out of my head.

And by the time I watched it the night and with my mom, I could just see the film and not see myself, which is I think it's a skill, like you have to build up and do it, I think famously like Hannah doesn't. Hannah doesn't watch yourself, right, I think you have to if you, particularly if you're going to direct and produce and do your own stuff, you have to to sort of you have to be a big boy and go all right, fuck it, let's

do this because you sort of have to. You still have to be able to tell the story and stuff. But it is weird and and you don't want to get self as yourself. It's probably best not to look until you finished, and then you can lick. Yeah, Hannah's yeah, I don't think Hannah. Hannah does watch must she has seen she must have seen bits of it, But I remember her saying that she didn't she didn't watch it,

which I found really peculiar because she's she's brilliant. Yeah, she's missing, she's really missing out with some good stuff. Keem imagine her just like watching the episode and like watching everybody else, and then she comes out she's like, no, no, no, just like throwing sh a the TV. You are you were dead, but I have brought you back to life because I well like you. But what point in your life would you like to come back to what would

you change? What would you keep the same, and he really brets, sorry, are you are you Brett or are you like weird like old time lord type of immortal. I don't know what. I don't know what you mean. Just not just Bret. Okay, I'm the same guy I've always been. Oh no, I don't know. I think in the past in the other podcast, I died when I was like one hundred and one hundred and three hundred and two something like that, And so I think I'm gonna bring myself back. Yeah, I'll be twenty five. Okay,

I'm coming back to this age right now. You're not changing, You're not changing anything from the past. I can change things. Yeah, if you can go back, you can come back at twenty. You can come back at fifteen if you want. Oh yeah, i'd come back at Do I keep my memories from now or just yeah, yeah you do? Yeah, I keep it? Okay, cool, I'm oh, we don't want to go too young, because that's just like boring. I think i'd go back to secondary school. I think i'd be it. I'd be like fifty. Maybe.

I feel like that's the point where I'm like, I can still I can make important changes. What would you change if you don't know? I don't know. I think I would have spent less time doing things I wasn't interested in. Like I spent so much time doing the things I thought I should have been doing, and I was just worried about everything all the time. So I think, you know, i'd have gone back and just been a bit more selfish and said, I'm doing the things that

I like and things that I don't like. I'm just I'm gonna do it. But so secondary school, you would have still gone to classes. You're going back, You're going to class, You're doing all these class No. I think I think I might just might because think about it, like I don't I still want to go to drama school. But I don't need any like A levels or any qualifications to get into drama school. So to be honest, I could just walk around and do you absolutely, yeah, whatever.

But I think I probably would have gone into classes. I would have been a bit nicer to my teachers. I probably would have you know, beat some more people up. Oh yeah, i think I'm going I'm going back. I'm going back to beat up fifteen year old to that vengeance. Yeah, that's a real that's a real ted last sized story. He's going back in time to physically and just some children. Why is he attacking those fourteen year old boys? You don't know what they just twenty five year old man

just beating up ten ages. Yeah, would you still go? Would you go to drama school again? Actually? Actually, what I guess if I if I know what I know now, then I wouldn't. I wouldn't have to because I'd have already done it. But I think when I went to drama school in my like previous life, I actually, yeah, I just knew nothing about the industry. I was like going I wanted to be an actor, and I had no idea what that was. I didn't know anybody that

had done it before. And so I had to go to drama school because if I just tried to act, I literally wouldn't have known what to do and where to go. But if I could go back now, actually I don't know, I could probably just actually know, I'd have to go to drama school. I made too many good friends there. I'd go. I'd go for the Yeah, like for the good memories. Is there anyone you're you're beating up at drama school. No, no, no, no, I actually had a fight at drama school when I was there.

In real life, I did, if you tell me on the podcast, so now you've put it out there, you probably couldn't have to. No, I didn't tell you. I think I was just really I was really stressed out, and like it was. Yeah, it was one of those times where like I think, you know, no, you're crazy, commented I'd beat up one of my teachers. That would be a better story. No, it was another student who was on a different it was on a different course.

And there was a rule at my school at Guildhall that if you had if you had a fight, you got kicked out. Apparently it was just like a thing and like there was like no tolerance for it, which there shouldn't be. But then, like it was, I was in my third year and I remember I had my first agent meeting this day, and I was insanely stressed out, like we were in third year. It was like this is it, Like this is the launching point of your career and it's either going to happen or it's not.

And I was really stressed out and I had my first meeting. I didn't know what to do and blah blah blah, and I ran into this guy and we had run into each other before and like kind of you know, like you like bumped into me in the street or something, and like it was kind of like, yo, we're saying. I was like, yore saying and it was just a bit crazy. And then nothing happened, and then we ran into each other again and he just kept

provoking me, like it was crazy. Like like I turned around and I was like, yo, you're that guy that I ran into him. He was like, yeah, you're not going And then like we got into like a bit of a standard and I was like listen, bro, like I'm I'm walking away. I'm want to do my thing, Like I'm just letting you know, like just be careful when you talk to people in it because I was kind of crazy whatever. And I was about to walk away and he was just standing there. I was like, bro,

are you standing there? Bro? Like you know what I'm doing And he was like noah, bro, I want to watch you walk away for the second time. And I was like, oh fucking hell. And then I was like, you know what, It's cool. I'm gonna walk away. And then as I was walking a wood and I was walking away, he was like, yeah, fucking Pussio, and I just snapped, like I've never been that angry, like in my like I can't remember the last time I was angry, and I just like snapped and we had this big, big, old,

big old fight. And I remember after the fight, I was crying so much, bro like I was because I thought I had like thrown everything away. I was, I don't want to get kicked out. I was like, I'll go to this age and meeting now and I'm not

gonna get an agent and everything is over. And I was actually supposed to have a really important disciplinary meeting with like the heads of all the departments sat by school, and I remember I wrote all of this down into like this really long spoken word poem and I performed this poem at something and I think somebody must have heard it, and like just like from my point of view, like what I was going through and just you know, I'm like I'm a boy, and like at that point,

like you didn't really know how to say you were stressed out or you didn't really like there was no I didn't have a vocabulary to be like, oh, like I'm a bit overwhelmed and a bit anxious and ultimately scared about what my career is going to be. And so like all of that pent up frustration just got let out in this one moment where I lost it. And then after I performed that piece, I just never heard about it again. Like there was no talk of

this disciplinary meeting. Somebody obviously went and thought a battle from me behind my back, but yeah, it's just the entire thing went away, and me and that guy we spoke and we we squashed it and it was cool and like we were from, you know, similar neighborhood, similar backgrounds, and what happened with the guy So you were like, this was just in this street outside the drum. No, no, No, The first time we met each other was in the street.

The second time was in the building we went happening to go to the same So when you you just sort of were on the floor. I just turned around and I was like I recognized him and he recognized me. Like we didn't know each other, but we were in the same school, and we were kind of like, yo, you're that guy that was chatting shit out to Tesco and you and but when you were when you were fighting, like what you sort of like rolled around on the floor and then like what, like what stopped it? Did

people stopped here? Oh? Yeah yeah, teaching people like friends, teachers, everything, everybody just like quite involved and it got a bit messy and stuff. It was just like, oh man, it's one of those moments like I regret, but there was also a part of me that was like it was a very important moment and I learned a lot from that. It was a mistake, but unnecessary mistake. And when you you you sort of made up with the guy. Yeah. I went and found him and we spoke and I

was like, listen, bro, like it was stupid. It shouldn't have happened. I was super, super super stressed out, which isn't it an excuse, but it is what it is. And he was like, oh, you're saying the same stuff. And I was like, bro from he was like a white guy, and I was like, ware you from news from South London, I'm from South London. And then we started like we just started talking. We didn't become friends

or anything, but we just like spoke it out. And you know, if I saw him now, I'd like I'd be like, yo, we say bro, and it'd be cool. I hope you know. So, like that's what I'd go back to primary school to, like can do with with all my bullies. We'd have to fight, but then have to fight the word and then yeah, poetry is the answers. I know this, I know this guy out. I'll read him.

Shall I compare with you to someone day? Man, you have me a black guy, but I can't even do it shackspeat quite Oh man, how did you even get out to that? So funny? Sure you are back to life the living. I'm very happy to see you. But they wanted to talk about your life again, this time through a film which makes a change. First question is what's the last film you saw? To h The last film I saw is Everything Everywhere, All at Once, which is a master of peace. Bro. It's a masterpiece. Yeah, man,

it's incredible. It was incredible. It's just so good. I love that film on every level. And I think it is profound and silly and wild and fun and deep and incredibly moving. And what I found interesting is for me it was like, oh, I think it was a whole film about love. Niche He said it spoke to him sort of as a child of immigrant parents, and he felt more the story that affected him more was the mother daughter story rather than the husband wife story.

And I wondered, for you, is it something different altogether or no, it was the same thing. I think. You know, at the beginning, you see her like just trying to figure all of this stuff out, like run this landre we like figure out how taxies, like need a translator a bit, and I'm like, I just like I saw my parents and that's what my dad, and that it's my mom and that. But then also the like that relationship of the mother and daughter I found like just

really really really moving, man. But I think there was also something about, you know, having hope and being optimistic, Like you know how sometimes you can feel like a bit of an idiot or you can feel a bit naive and young if you if you're optimistic, and if you're not, you know, a bit jaded, and yeah, like I think that was the thing that really hit me the most about that film was it was kind of like it's cool to like just stay open and to

like attack things in love. Like the world is really bleak and really dark, but you don't have to be

like that. And I really struggle with that sometimes, man, because I feel like you'll just get taken advance, like people will take advantage of you if you're if you're nice and if you're like good and if you're well meaning, like in business or in whatever, like sometimes you know, like you know, like saying like good guys, good guys don't win, or or like a guys finish last or something like that, like, yeah, I don't think that's true.

I used to be incredibly dark and cynical for many, many many years, and more recently I've I've actually realized I'm much more optimistic and rem it because I do realize it's what you put out, Like your world is what you put out, so what you're attracting it. Yeah, so if you open and full of love, you will see the world like that a lot more than if you go everything's fun because because everything is fucked, but

not all people. Yeah, and you know that's like that's the ted Las sort of story, isn't it Like but it's hard to do and yeah, you know, like it's it's not it's not easy to do, even like Ted or Sam, like you know, these Danny Rohans like that you couldn't be like that all the time. It's not natural and so like, you are going to have ups and downs, but it's a thing of like constantly reminding yourself that if I lead with love and openness, then that's what I'll get back a lot of the time.

Not all of the time, but most of the time, I hope. And I found that just incredibly moving. Man Like, Like I went with my friend Max and I was like, I can't remember the last film that made me cry and laugh at the same time. It was so silly, but it was so yeah, it was so silly. Oh my bro, you better go and find rackecuity Bro and the bomb deal dies. It's like film, it's about profound menia life also have people jumping on bomdial dies. It's

like it's going, oh so funny. I think that that The line that really got me was when they're in the alleyway and she's like a famous actress and he's you know, and he's in a suit or he goes and I think in the past life, I would have really enjoyed doing laundry and taxes with you. Oh, I want to find someone wants to do laundry and taxes with me? Please? Do you want to do laundry and

taxes with me? Bro, let's do laundry together. Yeah, okay, and then you make a marriage pack, like if we're if we're not both married by the time you was at sixty or something. Yeah, you just just like shut off. I absolutely would do that. That is a great idea we'd have at marriage. You could do whatever you could. You could, you know, I wouldn't mind you. You know, we just we'd have a nice life. Are you trying

to lay out the terms of conditions? Yeah? Yeah, well I'm basically trying to say to you, you you know, you don't have to be We'll work out these terms in private before we take it to the public space. Who do you think should play you in the film of your Life? I mean, I don't know. It depends. It depends how old I am in the film of my life, Like it depends what section of my life is the most interesting part of my life. But it could be.

But that's again, it's up to you. It might be your whole life, it might be a section you chosen. But like, there's also a part of me just like me bro, like give me the job, like I need that work. Can I have that? Please? Like who else? But you'll still be filming. You'll still be filming season Mine of the Power. So fine, Okay, I'm tied in and I can't do I don't know. Actually, I have a lot of a lot of actor friends that I

think could play me. One of my friends Jonathan Jonathan and j Tywell I think would do a really good job playing playing to he Well. I also think if we're talking older to hem, say, we froze Marchelarli in time, and then we allowed me to like grow and like live life, and then we're doing you know that Marshela as the guy because I'm just going to spend the whole of my life trying to be my hercheler. Anyway, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

perfect time. That's great. Yeah. Oh man, if I if I get to work with Marchel Arlie, I think I'd be done a peak. That's it. That is my mountain top. Do you think you'd be happier? I don't think we've took We hadn't done this yet. Do you think you'd be happier than when you worked with Sam Richardson for the list at Sam Richardson in Ted Lesso. Hey, Sam Ardson is incredible, an amazing wordful, But I've also never seem to he happier, look happy. He was so in

love with Saston. I couldn't believe his luck that he had says with him, bro like I had, I just spent the whole day Like. Season two was such a blast because I would have days where I just spent the whole day with Hannah, and then I have days where I just spent the whole days, the whole day with Sam Richardson, and Sam just made me laugh so much, bro Like, I've never laughed that much on set. He was so great. I learned so much from him. He is hilarious and he's just the nicest guy. He's the

nicest guy ever. Great. Yeah, I think, Yeah, it'd be tough. I can't choose between Sam Richardson and he's got his work out for him to impress him on his SAI. I mean, I think if he wouldn't have to do anything, bro like, I'm there, like if anything an you can't. I just loved so much. What is the nice romantic film you've ever seen? Are you a romantic? To? Hey? I am. I think. I think I'm a bit of a I don't. I don't know. I haven't been a relationship in a long time, so maybe I'm not. But

I like to think I am. Yes, I think I think I am. But I think I have to be with the right person in order to like just you know, be a romantic in it. I think the most romantic film I've seen is it's an anime film called Your Name. It is like, that's it, that's the film, and there's a part of me that's kind of like, I can't watch that again until I'm in a relationship with someone because it's going to make me too sad, perpetually, perpetually alone.

But but that is the most romantic film I've I've seen. It's just amazing, Like it makes me really believe in like finding your person and being with them forever. And I'm good now that I know my person is you, but like I yeah, for those who haven't found their their breat Coachstein, um it, Yeah, it really makes me believe in people having one and hopefully they find him. Yeah,

it's a really good choice. I went to say that, I think that's Yeah, I haven't seen a lot of anime films at the cinema, and that was when I went to see a bigger, big, big Spain there. It was beautiful. Yeah, I'm jealous. I watched it at home. I really feel like people are people are missing out, you know, like if people need to get over that subtitles barrier, and there's just so much stuff out there

that's really really really dope. Your name is incredible though, Like it's beautifully shot, Like it's just so colorful and amazing to watch, and it's like the voice acting is amazing, and the like the soundtrack is awesome. It's just everything you need. Like I dare you to watch that film and not and not like shed a little thug tear, jemy, my little fuck tear is there everywhere. What is the what is the best film you ever saw that you

never want to see again? I have the best film I ever saw that then I want to see again. It has to be The Godfather, Like I know everybody everybody brings it out, but like I can't. I don't need to see it again, Like it's do you know what It's like I didn't. I didn't watch The Godfather until like I think I only watched it like two years ago for the first time, so it was a while, like it was one of my films. It's like I should have seen this film, and I just never saw

it when I was younger. And then I watched it, and there's loads of these films I have, like loads of hype and everyone's like, oh, it's the greatest film ever. Like you watched some of them and you're a bit like, okay, cool, whatever. But The Godfather was one where I watched it and I was like, Okay, this is it, Like you've completed film whatever that is, that is its own thing. And I don't think if I watched it again, I'd have

the same reaction to it. And so that's something that I'm just going to leave in my experience with it. That one time was enough. It's incredible. It's the best film ever. Like it is. It's just the best. Very nice answer, very nice answer, What is the best action film you've ever seen? And and my follow up question, when are you going to play then action film? Oh man, give me an action film today, bro. I think I'm ready. I think that's that's something that I'm I'm starting to

manifest and put out into the universe. I think you already actually look at it for those you don't know, like, oh my goodness, can we do like a three way body cup like me, you and Phil? Fuck? Yeah, you have bad Cup? Can you be mad Cup? Actually you be bad Cup. I'll be Good Cup and let Phil ye be mad Cup. He just does silly good Cup. That's actually I guess that's conventional casting. Or you could

just flip it all around, you know. Yeah, have you played good Cup France, I'd played bad I played mad Cup, yeah, Phil, Phil? Phil can be like sexy hero Cup. Yes, yeah, yeah, and I'll play I'll play bad Coup. You play bad Cup. That'll be yeah. Write it, Okay, write that film. Promise the people right now when your Broadcup, you're gonna write You write it? You can you write it? What have I got? Right? You write it? I think the best action film I've ever seen is The Raid. Have you

seen it? Oh? Shit? Yeah, they're right, Yeah, very good. Raid incredible because like, yeah, I watched it a long time ago, and I honestly can't remember the plot. I just remember like an hour and thirty minutes of people getting this ship be out of them, and it was incredible, Like it was He's just whooping us bro the entire time. And that's what I go to action movies for. Like I'm like, all right, cool, there's a story, a right, cal whatever, whatever. I just want to see punch people up,

hang theeds by scenes with a bi plot. I don't really care to get away, Like my tolerance is so like I don't mind bro, like I'll take anything, and I just give me a little bit, just a little bit off playing a little bit of the action, like I want to see people get thrown off of towers. But yeah, the raid, the raid hands Also, I think

what I really liked about that. I'm not sure if it was the first raid or the Raid too, but there's one of them where he starts and he's praying and he's a Muslim and he's right, and it was like one of the first time I saw somebody prey

on TV. And you know, I come from a Muslim family, and so it was just like, really, I was really cool for me, Like I was like, oh my god, like I feel I don't know, like I just felt a bit like I felt seeing a little you know, And I was really also part of why I like the raid so much, but then also like he beats those of people up. Yeah, he does a bit of praying and then an awful lot of painting. Yeah, like me when I come back from like here with drama School,

Oh my goodness, the films. If you had to, if you had to tote, which film do you think you could have made? And why? Okay, so like this is this isn't me saying I feel like I could have come up with this idea, But my answer is Swansong. But I feel like it's because if there was a movie that if you could write my dream movie and my dream role and like give that to me, I think it probably be Swansong. Like I was obsessed with that film when I watched. I think I've seen it

like six seven times. And I was lucky enough to speak to Ben Cleary when after it came out. My team set me up with him and I had a zoom where I just like just praised him for an hour. At one point he was like, Okay, cool, I've got to go, and I was like, no, no, but I

love it, but I love you. He also promised he did introduced me to Mersham, and I was like, you don't need to do that because I'd make a fool out of the both of us, Like you did regret that very quickly, but um, I just yeah, I just I loved it, Like it was everything that I felt like I wanted to do as like as an actor. Like it was really sensitive, really delicate. It's just a beautiful, beautiful film. And I remember watching it. I watched it with my mum and I watched that like three am

for some reason with my mom. Both of us couldn't sleep, and I just remember, like again like crying in my mind arms because because it was like it was just it was just so gorgeous and it genuinely made me want to be a better person. It made me want to cherish the time I had with people. I was like, all right, cool, Like that's what I would make say. That's not necessarily saying like I would have found like that really clever idea as a way of telling the story.

But if there was a story that summed up that type of work I wanted to make, I think it'd be it'd be Swan Song in recent history. Yeah, that's a great, perfect answer. I mean i'd ask you the same question, but like you, you just made everything you want to like actually doing it? Yeah, no, you can't do. I can't do. What is the film you have pretended to like to impress people to hape? Oh yeah, okay, I have I have to. I have too. One in more recent history and another one that I think is

actually gonna get me canceled from the internet. But first one, I like, when I saw a Power of the Dog, Like that was the first time I actually like lied to people and like it completely went over my head. Like it was really, it's obviously really good. It's obviously

really good and it's great. But like I saw it and I was just kind of like people, how Anna, going it's amazing, right, And like there was one one director that I worked with who was obsessed with it, and like I was just I just remember lying my way through it and being like yeah, yeah, I really did it. Yeah, I just it just really wasn't for me. I was a bit like, you know, good, So Para of the Dog is, Para of the Dog is, Yeah,

I'm gonna I'm gonna go. And par of the Dog that's okay, that's I mean, maybe I just need to see it again. I feel like it just kind of went over my head, but I was like, do I do I need? You need to see it now you know what the ending is? Maybe and see No. But when I sat like, I was still just kind of like I was because that's the big twist, isn't it. And I was like I thought I was gonna when it happened, I was gonna be like, ah, cool, great, like this is, but I wasn't. I was a bit like,

all right, do you know what I mean? I don't know. Maybe, yeah, maybe I should see it again. I want to see it again. I feel bad. What's the film you've never seen that you think it's mad? You've never seen it. I've never seen Indiana jumps readers of the Last art that is mad? What is the film you love that you don't expect anyone else to? Like? Grown ups? You see groups? Grown ups is hilarious to me. Bro, that's

given fart jokes. It's fart jokes. It's you know what I mean, it's whatever like grown ups is it's grown ups. But you should like it. Yeah, it's a lot of people that you really like going on holiday together and getting paid for it. Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah. I also just kind of feel like. I mean, yeah, like a couple like me, you and you know, Jason and Phil could like just go and film ourselves on holiday, like making jokes, trying to make each other laugh, and

we'd have grown ups, you know. But that's why I like it so much. This is two pieces. You've got it right there, good cop, backup, bad what we call it? What we call it our grown ups reboot. I have no idea. Well, I mean you came up with a good cop back, coup, back up, I don't know, just lads, lads, lads loads abroad. That's yeah. Neither of those shows are getting picked up. There's nothing wrong with grown ups really, and they don't grown ups to you when they were

to go on day again. I sort of respect it, sort of. What's that film Couples Retreat? I think it's got like John Fabrow and other people in it, and it's basically, you know, learn famous people hang out in Hawaii. Yeah, I get what you made this. I like, why not we need that? It's not every day I want to, like, you know, like having my heart ripped out. I sometimes I just want to watch people make fart jokes, like,

you know, it's cool. What is the film you would show a lover as a test to see if you should be together. I think I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with About Time. Have you seen About Time? About Time killed killed me? Domino Glaser and Rachel McAdams killed me dead. And I watched it on a plane. Oh, don't watch out on a plane? You cry it? Right? What is it about crying that planes? Like, apparently that's the thing that people cry more on planes? It is the thing? Is it the attitude? Like? What is I

don't know. I don't actually know what it is. I think it may be that you're hovering above the earth, so you're like already in a transcendental place. You might be dead at any second. Maybe that's it for your life the entire time. Yeah, but like About Time is

the one? Why About Time? I don't know? I think again, it's one of those films that when you finish it, you just feel like you want to be a better person, and you want to go into the world leading with love and you want to cherish every day and every moment. Also like he tough smuggle Robbie at the door and runs home to propose to his wife and I'm like, you know what I mean, that's kind of incredible, remarkable, remarkable, remarkable stuff. But yeah, no, I think it's just it's

a really sweet film. And if you can get with that, then I feel like we could die together, you know. And if you showed it to a lover, yeah, and they didn't like it, would you immediately break up with them? It'd be a big red flag because I'd be like, why don't you like it? Like I'd have to have the conversation. You'd be like, what is it about this that you don't get? What you don't like? Because it's it's perfect and it's also like my happy place film.

And I'm like, if if you really didn't like it, then that's you attacking my happy place. And yeah, yeah I'm not. I'm not letting you be with this person. Thank you. What is the film that made you the most uncomfortable? I have two Okay, I have two answers for this. The first one is on the Plane, but that's because I was really young when I watched it, and like, I just I was really really really terrified

of like running into snakes in my house. There was a bit where like he's like one guy is in the toilet and he's like trying to have a piss and then the snake comes and back to him on the dick, and I was really scared that was going to happen to me, like for a lot of my childhood, and so, um, i'd say that, but that's where, like, how does I want to watch that? Maybe like eight nine year old tea or something. I don't know why I was playing a nine years old but whatever. The

second one is, um is Midsummer. Have you seen mid Summer? Yeah? It was a bit of a weird one, Like it was just really strange, and I felt like I was with it and I got it at the beginning, and then it got to a point where like it just started making left turns and I was like, yo, I don't know where. It was really strange. I thought it

lost me after they I mean, what is it? They start taking drugs like they take like a mushroom or a flower or something like that, and then people start tripping, and I think from then on I was like, I don't understand what the rules of this like cult bar and then they just started getting really trippy and it was a bit where like they're having sex and there's some lady just going who. Yeah. I actually found that was so funny and I was like, I don't I

have no idea what's going on here anymore. I went and saw that one of my friends and we were both a bit. It was just lost. And I also felt really uncomfortable because I imagine myself having to film that scene of just having somebody go having sex. I was like, I can't. I just yeah, but it was great. Yeah. I definitely remember thinking, God, that's not an easy it's a tough scene. It's a tough. But I think I don't know if I like I just laugh. I find

it really funny. But yeah, it was that. I actually, um, Florence Pugh came on set once Ted Lasso, Um if this and that's tell the story. I was so like, she came I think with Zach when Zach Breath was directing his episode and we were in the locker room, and so I was like, I don't go, Florence Pu's here, and I'm a big fan of hers, and so I was like, oh, yeah, that's really dope, and and then I just started like talking about Florence Pu and I

was like, oh, she was really great. Mid some of what I found that weird as fuck, and I was just like talking about it for ages, and then I went outside and I realized she had cans on the whole time, and I was Mike, and I was just like, you know, you just want to you want the world to swallow your hold. Yeah, so she probably hates me. I mean to be fair, I did say I thought she was really great, which is true, but I found the film Tripp, She's really She's one of my favorite actresses.

She's incredible. You know what what's brilliant about Midsummer that I didn't know until I read a thing I think it was the director talking about it, is that you're told that it's like a nine day festival this Midsummer. It's a nine day festival, and what we see in the film is only the first three days, so that's what's happening on day three. It leaves you go, what the fuck is day? That checked me out? Bro, Yeah, I'm done with that. That's crazy. I'm finally the first

flight home, bro, like leave it. Yeah, you're right, because they take acid early and she goes, I'm not in a good headspace. But then she takes the acid and then you're like, so now we are we on acid for the rest of the film. How long are they are acid? Yeah? Well yeah, also like her entire family have died, like why why are you taking her to the middle of Like why is she going on this first?

Like German, Well, they're in they're in a pretty Yeah, I mean he wanted to break up with her just before. The whole thing's just very uncomfortable relationships, just like it was so Chea goes through and by the end of it, she's like the queen of this this little Yeah, I mean, yeah, I guess. And he's on fire in a bear suit. But the bit when it's on fire and the two naked men who are just comfortably sitting there and then they just start screaming as the fire and you're like, yeah, yeah,

because fire is horrible. Goes the Dark film, Yeah something, Okay, that's a trippy film. Should watch that again. Have you seen Men by Alex Garland? No, no Papercedes in it and and yeah, he's so good in it by the way, I wanted to. Yeah, he's a good and Jesse Jesse Buckley, I haven't seen it yet. It's brilliant it's it's wild man. You think Midtime as World. Oh is it Mandy in a different way? Okay, cool, but I feel like it

makes it smaller. But it's got fucking trippy To me, it makes sense, and the like in the trailer, even when Rory Can is like being everywhere, I'm like, that still kind of makes sense. So yeah, I need to go and see that. Actually I didn't know it was out. Yeah, see how you get into I really liked it. Yeah, but it is mad. If you could show a child one film, what would it be and frankly, why are you doing it forcing a child to watch? One of my favorite films? My my my pick is Comfrey Pander.

Comfrey Panda is the best. It's the best film. It's my Yeah, It's one of the best cartoons ever, best, one of the best animated films I've watched. It's incredible. I feel like you get whatever you are going through in life. You can watch Comfrey Pander and take something away from it. It will help whatever situation you are

currently in, especially if you're a child. Um, yeah, it's it's the Comfrey Pander is the one because also I think in the first one, especially Thai Long is like one of the best villain character arcs that I've seen in a cartoon because he just he thinks he's the chosen one and he's like been raised his entire life

to believe he's the chosen one, and then he isn't. Yeah, and it's like, why wouldn't you try and fuck up the entire village, Like when you've been sold a dream and you're just really good at what you do, when you're better than everybody you know, and the old turtle guys like, nah, it's not you. And it's like I've worked my entire life for this though, and he goes, no, it's not you, and then yeah, yeah, but I'm the village is the ground. Um, so yeah, I really am.

I really like Coffee Panda because also like, yeah, Jack Black is hilarious, he's so funny, he's so so so good in it. And also it's just, yeah, like the entire thing is about you are enough, trust yourself, like find your path and and be with it. And yeah, I think everybody needs master in their life. A turtle dude,

he's dope. Well I love the answer, Well, thank you to Hey, you have been great, so good in fact, that I've made a decision and I am gonna let you live just in case you ever were to say, get killed again by me. And who's to say what your future held, But at the moment you're going to live. But just in case you were to ever die again, you've got to leave one DVD in your will. What DVD were you lave? Oh? I feel like my DVD has to be Kung Fu Hustle, Steve and Kufu Hustle.

It's it. That's the film. That is the first film. That's my first film for sentimental reasons, Like it's like a film that me and my parents and my brother

bonded over when we were kids. We watched it again recently, like I told you about, you know, like there was a fire on my on my black and flat, and so like at the moment, we've had to move to a different house and and just while our house is being fixed, and it was really it's like a really oddly stressful thing to go through because like you don't really have your own house and you're kind of far away now, you don't really know what's going on, and like,

you know, we were all kind of stressed out about it, kind of running around. And I remember recently, we're all really stressed out and we put on Congfu Hustle and it was just one of those moments where we all just like sat down and chilled and vibed and it was dope. And so I think Comfu Hustle is that film for me and my family, Like it's a comfort film and it's just so silly and fun, Like you can't like Comfu Hustle. So that's my film. That's the film that I'd leave to the world in my will say,

you are a towering, magnificent man. Is there anything you would like to tell people to look out for or listen to coming months? Maybe if you ever finished The Power, if I ever finished this job called The Power for Amazon, then then yeah, maybe one day you guys can see it. It is coming. I think twenty twenty three it'll be it'll be out. I think that's that's the main one. But other than that, ted Lasso three is on its

way and it's nearly done. And when that's done, that would be really cool and it'll be really nice to ted Lasso and The Power whenever, whenever that arrives, and just so we've got it, on here. If neither of us are married bout sixty, neither of us't married about sixty, and we're shocking up great towns, towns still yet to be, yet to be um. You know, we have to probably finds. We'll thrash out the terms and then we'll sort out. But we're also pitching good cop, Backup, Badup yea, and

grown ups bit old lads. Those are our future film projects. We have to film lads, las lads. It might be otherways. Want to be okay, yeah, agreed, Yeah, all right, I will stop the recording now. Thank you for being coming back to life. We missed you, Thank you for having me back. I'm alive, I'm alive. Goodbye. So that was episode two hundred and eleven.
