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! Video and extra audio available on Brett's Patreon!

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. Video and extra audio available on Brett's Patreon!

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... Video and extra audio available on Brett's Patreon!

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! Video and extra audio available on Brett's Patreon!
