Films To Be Buried With with Brett Goldstein

Big Money Players Network and iHeartPodcasts

We are born. We die. In between we watch a lot of films. And some of these films shape the people we are. This is a podcast about those films. (And a bit about death.)   Join comedian, actor, writer and swimmer Brett Goldstein and an extra special weekly guest as they go all the way into life and death by way of movies, to ultimately pick their Films To Be Buried With!

    Tim Key (part 1 of 2) (The Ballad Of Wallis Island / No More Jockeys / Alan Partridge) • #344

    LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With!

    Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with comic, actor, writer and poet TIM KEY! This is the first of a two parter...

    As well as being a unique individual in his own right, Tim is also one of those 'six degrees' people who you can get to and from just about anyone involved in comedy and screen. It speaks well how much Tim is adored in the wider world but also Tim is just awesome in all roles. Whether you met him through one of the various Alan Partridge projects, or through Taskmaster / Alex Horne-iverse, or through appearances in all manner of manifestations, you'll get a ton from this episode (and the subsequent one!) as it's just good times and good vibes from the beginning. You'll hear about the process of short film to feature film (and how to get big stars in said film), the surrealness of Sundance festival, the flying man beginning with E, standing to the side of horror films, G Horne, baths on stage and dancers in bed, and a splinter/rival podcast called 'Speaking Of Films' (not a thing). Bottle it up and jump in!

    Camille Ucan • The Reincarnation (Three Hens In A Boat / Birthday Girls / sketco!) • #343

    LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With!

    Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe for the FOURTH TIME, in this legendary episode featuring writer, podcaster, actor, sketco and much more CAMILLE UCAN! THE REINCARNATION!

    HOUSEKEEPING UP TOP! Occasionaly Brett and Camille refer to each other as 'Connie'. Brett might use 'Ucan' and 'Udon' interchangably. 'Sketco' is sketch comedy. 'Sketco' is also the pseudonym of the child of Camille and husband James McNicholas (aka 'The Beast'). Should the writeup end there? I mean it sets a tone doesn't it... Well if further selling of this classic and hilarious episode is needed, just know that Camille is wonderful as always, and we also hear about all sorts including the post-childbirth world and the many trials and tribulations but also wonder therein, "the crawl", writing a brand new play, George Miller, and some choice encouragement from Brett for Camille to make Mumreels. You shall enjoy! And watch 'Nightbitch' too cos it's fabulous.

    Julia Stiles (Wish You Were Here / Hustlers / Mona Lisa Smile) • #342

    LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With!

    Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with the iconic and massively prolific actor and director JULIA STILES!

    A really lovely episode where we find Julia on top form, with a perfect balance of funny and emotional (with a beautiful reaction to being informed of her demise, as show tradition dictates). Julia's been putting in serious work through the years, not least with 'Wish You Were Here', which she directed and goes into detail on. Of course she and Brett go into all sorts of terrain, including said film direction and being a driver as opposed to passenger, behind the scenes process, not being all the way out in the open, line readings ("Just do it happier!"), doing your own stunts at a younger age, growing up in New York, and good old fashioned fronting. Wonderful. ENJOY! Oh - stick around for added voicenotes at the end...

    Zachariah Porter (sketch comedy genius / Camp Counselors podcast) • #341

    LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With!

    Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with the very, very funny sketco and champion of the comedy socials ZACHARIAH PORTER!

    Zachariah might be one of those "if you know, you know" comics, because those who do know will have already been captivated and energised by his stunning work on the socials. But for those who do NOT know, friends, you are about to join an elite group who appreciate performers who provoke that "blurt" laugh response (healthier than it sounds). Zach is known for really fun character work and is embarking on the stage at this moment so if you're in those areas, do check the show. But for now, enjoy the ep which deftly moves around the subjects of snowbound New York, his customer service background informing his portrayals, his now very well known mum, how he and his boyfriend met and successfully found a way to collab with work (not always easy!), swimming and sexy chefs. You deserve it. Enjoy!

    Urzila Carlson (Kinda Pregnant / Just No! / That's Enough Already) • #340

    LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With!

    Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with the awesome whirlwind of fun URZILA CARLSON!

    Urzila, more accurately though, is a comic and actor who is most definitely funny in the bones. Even the most casual and cursory glance over her credits will warm your day nicely, and this episode is one of those proper loose and knockabout classics that has so much to enjoy and chuckle through. Once you've appropriately gauged the rhythm, you'll be locked in for sure. Expect to hear about all sorts including - but not limited to - acting and having permission to be funny on set, organizing tours and those logistics, the wide spectrum of the sense of smell, talcum powder phases, school video rentals and birds knocking at the door. Navigate THAT. Enjoy!

    LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With!

    Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with the hilarious comic LIZA TREYGER!

    Liza is not only incredibly funny and fun but also a really great hang, which makes this episode a real treat from start to end. You may have seen her Netflix special 'Night Owl' by now, or heard the podcast 'That's Messed Up: An SVU Podcast', but if not you'll soon be making those searches and adding said items to your watch and want lists. From living the idyllic New York life, to standup and process, to filming the special, to her trinkets and stickers collection, we have a lot to enjoy right here and it is a ray of sunshine upon you whatever weather you're looking at. Enjoy and find more in the links below!

    Sean McLoughlin – JUDGEMENT DAY! (White Elephant show touring now) • #338

    LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With!

    Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe AGAIN (only this time under much more intense existential circumstances) with the hilarious comic SEAN MCLOUGHLIN! JUDGEMENT DAY!

    With a couple of appearances in the bag for Sean, we find him in a cool calm space, ready to accept his judgement from above (or below, or middle - whatever your given outlook). As such, it's a really great episode which gets into some very interesting actual comedy chat, the real behind the scenes and detailed stuff. The comedy to film ratio is met perfectly though, and it is not all full on (what some call) inside baseball. A lovely episode to warm up your week, and be sure to catch Sean on tour if he is nearby! Enjoy X

    Jeanette Epps (NASA Astronaut / Aerospace Engineer) • #337

    LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With!

    Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with the intergalactic planetary official NASA Astronaut JEANETTE EPPS!

    Call it a curveball but you have our word, this episode (Epps-isode) is a wonderful one, and a totally perfect temporary departure from your regularly scheduled guest list! Jeanette is a delightful presence and utterly essential listening for anyone who is in the least bit interested in space and astronaut life. You'll hear how the whole thing came together but take comfort in knowing that all pertinent questions get answered (not just the film ones - like actual space logistics and how it all works up there), and by the end you'll be a definite pal of Jeanette's and hopefully follow her adventures from here on. Really lovely stuff from someone who's been putting in work and time into all sorts of space research, as well as literally doing a couple of stints living underwater and in a cave. But that's for you to hear more about. ENJOY!

    LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With!

    Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with the very funny comic who specializes in the one liner, it's MARK SIMMONS!

    ...but naturally does not ONLY work in one liners! Mark's a fabulous comic who has a great time with Brett, calling back a chemistry they formulated back in the days doing comedy together in some pretty odd places. You'll hear all about that of course, as well as Mark's experience with performing for a naked audience (was he also naked? you'll find out), his new special, run-ins with the spirit world and overall just a delightful episode's worth of goodies. You shall enjoy.

    Mackenzie Barmen (TikTok / sketch comic genius) • #335

    LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With!

    Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with the modern day legend in sketch comedy MACKENZIE BARMEN!

    For some folk, seeing 'TikTok' in the title might seem strange especially if you do not engage with the app. Thankfully for everyone, Mackenzie's amazing and hilarious sketchwork is available on browsers in general if you are not an app download enthusiast and it is strongly recommended to familiarise yourself! From physical embodiment of social media platforms to general character studies, Mackenzie has managed to zero in on something so insightful with such control and observation, and as a guest and friend of the show you'll soon become her friend too (if you are not already). From family dynamics, to process, to career talk, to solo scares, and all the world besides, you will absolutely love this one even if Mackenzie's name is not in your immediate eyeline. Enjoy!

    LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With!

    Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with the prolific and well credited filmmaker and actor LEIGH WHANNELL!

    A really lovely chat with someone who you will very likely know from films that have come up many times on this very podcast, so you know you're in for some goodness here... A delightfully self deprecating (in the best ways) and entertaining catch up which covers so much, including but not limited to working with James Wan, making films out of pocket and how to handle low budgets, creating a millennial Freddie Krueger, Insidious and Saw and working on such franchises, devilish alchemy, creative uncoupling, healthy fear of disease and the list goes on! And if you came here for an ethereal Sisyphian tone poem, we've got ya covered. OH ALSO - spoiler bits for Invisible Man where he runs through a scene as he wrote it (which is maybe not so suitable for folk of sensitive disposition) - just so you know. Never let death get in the way of a dollar! Enjoy!
