Osgood Perkins (Longlegs / The Monkey / Keeper) • #376

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 horror movie making phenomenon OSGOOD PERKINS! For those who don't routinely venture down the path of modern horror, Osgood might be a fixture of the moviemaking world with whom you're yet to become acquainted. Consider this a formal introduction - and for those who've seen his stuff, welcome back! Coming from a very well known parental lineage, Osgood has carved a niche in the horror world transcending the basic facts of who his parents are and planting a flag in a genre which has only been gathering steam and fans in recent years. And while this a calm, collected and sober episode, it's a riveting one offering wisdom, existential nuggets (did you see them back in '74 at the Troubadour? hell of a show), and a huge amount of delightful cinema treats to devour. Catch up on his films if you're in the slightest bit intrigued but otherwise, just enjoy a very satisfying catchup with these two.

Joanna Scanlan (The Thick Of It / After Love / Slow Horses) • #374

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 fabulous actor JOANNA SCANLAN! Joanna's portfolio is truly inspiring and just a cursory glance at her IMDB page will take a good minute or two. This is a wonderful walk down not only memory lane but also the many planes of the present, as we hear about so much of Joanna's adventurous path and how one door opened to another (intercut with a whole batch of massively diverse movies also, of course). As well as that, we get to know more about the hinge of comedy and drama, acting technique and essentially being prescribed acting, chemistry and inverse chemistry, not being an ironist, dogs and horses, generational war trauma by proxy, the base sauces of cinema, and those rough 80's vibes. A cornucopia! You will enjoy. ⁠⁠⁠Video and extra audio available on Brett's Patreon!

LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With! A REWIND CLASSIC! Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with the truly hilarious comic, writer and author, LESLIE JONES! Original writeup below, and for the record this is a top 5'er right here! So funny. ––––––––––––––––––––––––– An absolute award winner of an episode right here folks, as Leslie gets involved in the cinematical life and deathness of this whole thing we're in... It's nothing but joy from the first moment, but she and Brett also get into a ton of bits and pieces including leaving Saturday Night Live, the desire of a return to acting (villains specifcally), doing a bunch of standup, being a night owl kid, Ghostbusters, Shirley Temple, bad knees as an aphrodisiac and on top of all that, a RED HOT new film pitch or two from them both. Could you ask for more? I mean, you could but it would speak well to your sheer greed... ENJOY! It's one for the books.

Joey King • Rewind Classic (Bullet Train / The Princess / We Were The Lucky Ones) • #372

LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With! A REWIND CLASSIC! Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with the wonderful actor who's been in the game for years, JOEY KING! Original writeup below, but on second updated edit there is so much more besides all of this - and check the Patreon for extra Jessie the dog! ––––––––––––––––––––––––– Joey’s been acting seemingly non stop since the age of four years old - an incredible feat and true display of reserve, energy and skill to have been doing it solid for a couple of decades since. This episode is such a delight, and a perfect chance to get to know her in a genuinely giddy and fun setting. Everything from eerie on set happenings, reincarnation puzzles, favourite relatives (jk), a dog named Jesse James (who you’ll meet, dont worry), DVD binders, unique answers which are episode debuts, Disney character reveals and brisket. Plenty of brisket. So much that the word won’t make sense anymore. A beauty of an episode, enjoy! ⁠⁠Video and extra audio available on Brett's Patreon!⁠ ⁠INSTAGRAM⁠ IMDB BULLET TRAIN THE PRINCESS –––––––––– ⁠BRETT • X⁠ ⁠BRETT • INSTAGRAM⁠ ⁠THE SECOND BEST NIGHT OF YOUR LIFE⁠ ⁠TED LASSO⁠ ⁠SHRINKING⁠ ⁠ALL OF YOU⁠ ⁠SOULMATES⁠ ⁠SUPERBOB (Brett's 2015 feature film) Learn more about your ad choices.

Mark Kermode • The Resurrection • Rewind Classic ('Take' podcast / 'Screenshot' podcast / 'Surround Sound' book) • #371

LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With! A REWIND CLASSIC! Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe (again) with movie critic, writer, journalist and presenter MARK KERMODE! The RESURRECTION! Mark is always welcome on the podcast, and this Resurrection was a lovely return visit back in the days of 2022. So much life has happened in the interviening years, and also in listening back and giving it a little brush and polish, it became clear that some items may need a little explaining for newer listeners. So here's a quick list of things that might benefit some addressing: • Mark's current podcast is a movie (and film-adjacent TV) review show he co-hosts with Simon Mayo called 'Take', available in free with ads (1 weekly ep) / subscribe for a fee with no ads (2 weekly eps) models. • Referring to someone "Getting off their bike" about something, basically means ranting. • This was recorded before the White Lotus with Jason Isaacs in, and he gets a mention, but Mark went to school with him and he's a friend of all things Kermode podcast related. • The 'Linda' he makes reference to is his wife, Professor Linda Ruth Williams. • Up top he references 'Benjamin' and Simon Amstell. Mark had a brief cameo in the film Benjamin, directed by comic, host and writer Simon Amstell. Otherwise, we hear about Mark's ever-growing love for his family, the mechanics of rewatching films, the idea of writing being like a 'journal of record', the niceness of horror film folks (even Leatherface) and making films with love, and so much more awesome behind the scenes movie goodies. Very, very much worthy of your time even if you listened first time round, there's so much to catch that may have been missed first time. Oh and Jeremy is a really sweet film, which you'll have to acquaints yourself with if you want to be his friend (to quote the Spice Girls classic). Zig a zig ahh.

Adjani Salmon (Dreaming Whilst Black / Doctor Who / The Perfect Knight) • #370

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 absolutely wonderful actor and writer ADJANI SALMON! A thoroughly lovely one right here, as Brett catches up with the creator of the glorious series Dreaming Whilst Black, which at time of publishing is coming back imminently for a second season. So, so much to get into as Adjani brings us up to speed on such matters as the genesis of the series and creating a student film, shattered illusions of how to get ahead in the business, film festival hookups, running storylines by the family (or not), reverse nepotism, Will Smith vs pre-teens, old films riddled with all the "-ists" and "-ics", therapy time for young Adjani via Brett, and the utterly beautiful two syllable term that describes itself - "dry sad". Right? How perfect is that. A true delight, and Adjani is total sunshine so you're guaranteed to enjoy. ⁠⁠Video and extra audio available on Brett's Patreon!

Will Bridges (All Of You / Stranger Things / Black Mirror) • #369

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 glorious writer, producer and director WILL BRIDGES! As the pre-victory lap continues in celebration of the release of All Of You continues, Brett is joined by colleague and friend Will who directed it and worked on the writing side. Naturally you can expect some fabulous behind the scenes gossip from the set (sometimes a studio, sometimes the great wild outdoors), as well as loads to do with the process from all angles, but alongside that we get to hear about ADR grunts, misjudged horrors from Dad, Isle Of Wight repping, what got him into the whole wide world of media, and being a highly tuned beepboop emotion robot. It's a joy from start to end, and for those excited to see / to have seen All Of You, consider this another episode in your podcast companion series! ⁠Video and extra audio available on Brett's Patreon!
