Jameela Jamil • Films To Be Buried With with Brett Goldstein #36
LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With! Join your host Brett Goldstein as he and his guest go deep into the subject of mortality via cinema, and this week he is joined by national treasure, actor, comedian, writer, presenter, model and activist JAMEELA JAMIL!“You’re giving people a timeout from their lives, and sucking them into fantasy, and that’s so noble to me…”An incredible chat session with Brett and Jameela, and definitely one which really displays the essence of what Films To Be Buried With is all about. Life, death, cinema. And who better to talk about such subjects as an actor on a show about the afterlife! From her humble beginnings back in the days working in a video shop (complete with a well stocked ice-cream fridge), to presenting a music show on Channel 4 to then getting into comedy, and now full on acting in ‘The Good Place’ and more, she’s also become a very powerful voice in the world of activism with her amazing positive campaigning against the weird world of celebrity diets, fat-shaming and many other vile elements in mass media. Basically Jameela is a superhero living among us. So let us celebrate her, as we hear about her show The Good Place and being on the cusp of series 4, Ted Danson, the costs of activism and balancing the benefits, how it seems the world has been listening to her since she lost weight, karma, the afterlife, ET-based grief therapy and what Macaulay Culkin has to answer for in her fear of bees (and what scrapes said fear has gotten her into). Glorious!

Bill Lawrence • Films To Be Buried With with Brett Goldstein #35
LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With! Join your host Brett Goldstein as he and his guest go deep into the subject of mortality via cinema, and this week he is joined by director, producer, screenwriter and show runner BILL LAWRENCE!“Everything goes my way…”A truly enjoyable chat with Bill, who - as you’ll hear - is responsible a great chunk of amazing US television from the past few decades. From Spin City to Scrubs, Clone High to Cougar Town and his newest creation Whiskey Cavalier, you’ll find Bill’s name in there proud and centre. As ever, the sit down convo enjoys many a tangent, ranging from some ‘inside baseball’ details, Brett’s casting in a Bill creation pilot a while back, the character board and the dynamics of a cast, his additional work as puncher up of scripts, the deep connection between him and his father, the old chestnut of separating art from the artist and whether we can do that these days (often, no), the two sources of comedy, the duality of his parents backgrounds, the occasionally manipulative nature of Scrubs and a whole lot more. Brilliant stuff, a bubbly and enjoyable gem of an episode!

Russian Doll's Leslye Headland - Films To Be Buried With with Brett Goldstein #34
LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With! Join your host Brett Goldstein as he and his guest go deep into the subject of mortality via cinema, and this week he is joined by actor, writer, director (and co-creator of Netflix’s Russian Doll) - it’s LESLYE HEADLAND!"Gotta get up, gotta get out, gotta get home before the moooooorning comes…"So did you do your homework as set for you last week, hmmm? You had ONE JOB! As easy one, if you have a Netflix subscription - yes that one job was to watch Russian Doll, so hopefully that was an achievable task and was taken care of! If so, you will have of course become a fast fan, and you will thoroughly enjoy Brett and Leslye going right into it - a proper treasure trove of trivia for you, going into the logistics, casting, music (yes THAT song), the whole deal. It’s fascinating even if you haven’t seen it though - you’ll get a kick out of it for sure! On top of that, the two go in on how Leslye is open to her creations being interpreted however they may (unless it’s wrong), her dreams of directing a Bond movie, toxic femininity, being put in her feelings by one film in particular, how she loves musicals (apart from one - you’ll hear), how key moments in her life seemed to be centred around film, sexy vs sexist, her early films and her family’s new year’s film traditions! ALSO - treat yourself to the Patreon only moments for this week only, as Brett loved them so much he decided to give you a taste for free…LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE:• LESLYE on TWITTER!• RUSSIAN DOLL on NETFLIX!• LESLYE on IMDB!• RUSSIAN DOLL on TWITTER!• BRETT GOLDSTEIN on TWITTER!• BRETT GOLDSTEIN on INSTAGRAM!• BRETT GOLDSTEIN on PATREON!• 'SUPERBOB' - Brett's 2015 feature film!• 'CORNERBOYS' with BRETT & SCROOBIUS PIP!• DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOK• DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAMSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/filmstobeburiedwith.

Chris Hewitt (Empire Magazine) - Films To Be Buried With with Brett Goldstein #33
LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With! Join your host Brett Goldstein as he and his guest go deep into the subject of mortality via cinema, and this week he is joined by the celebrated Empire Magazine writer CHRIS HEWITT!A surprisingly mischievous episode at that, my my… All fun and games though, as Brett and Chris get down and dirty and give you the goods on all angles of cinema and film criticism, including his way to the magazine itself, his exceedingly accurate review of Brett’s film Superbob, how the whole film industry should take a year off so we can all catch up, his awfully embarrassing made-up death scenario, his early days of film-making (described in about as high a level of self-deprecation as you can get), his emotional uncorking after some very personal and close death experiences, and how his partner does not share his love of horror films by any means. Such an enjoyable one this, so please, have fun getting to know Chris!(NOTE! Hereditary spoiler at around 41 minutes or so... Be alert!)LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE:• CHRIS on TWITTER!• EMPIRE MAGAZINE PODCAST!• CHRIS on ROTTEN TOMATOES!• BRETT GOLDSTEIN on TWITTER!• BRETT GOLDSTEIN on INSTAGRAM!• BRETT GOLDSTEIN on PATREON!• 'SUPERBOB' - Brett's 2015 feature film!• 'CORNERBOYS' with BRETT & SCROOBIUS PIP!• DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOK• DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAMSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/filmstobeburiedwith.

Athena Kugblenu - Films To Be Buried With with Brett Goldstein #32
LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With! Join your host Brett Goldstein as he and his guest go deep into the subject of mortality via cinema, and this week he is joined by the awesome comedian and writer ATHENA KUGBLENU!Surely one of the most hardcore Films To Be Buried With guests at that, as Athena is mere days after giving birth - that’s some solid dedication to the craft of podcasting right there! And we are blessed by her golden presence, as Brett sets things off proper from the get go, which provides us with gem after gem including her brand new motherhood role, attending the cinema with her then unborn baby and working out what it responded to, how she enjoys her horror movies with a cup of sweet tea at the end (that’s actually a perfect combo) and SO much more… How much more? Well, the question “What in the world happened to Billy Zane?” gets posed, and also Athena makes Brett very angry - why, you may ask? Oh… You’ll find out… While films get spoiled all over the shop in the podcast, this writeup is a spoiler-free zone, people.

LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With! Join your host Brett Goldstein as he and his guest go deep into the subject of mortality via cinema, and this week he is joined by the hilarious comedian, writer and ensemble player MATTHEW CROSBY!It’s a super deluxe Valentine’s Day gem for you all this week, and with that spirit of love in the air for all, be you with a significant other or otherwise, you will have a perfectly charming and very funny time this week with Matthew and Brett. Enjoy this sit down chat with the fellas as they go in on everything, including Matthew’s film education via the VHS-based “shit Blockbusters” of his film school (and the warmth of watching film taped off telly), how meta his death is, the holding of his dad’s hand during a film (a thoroughly lovely moment), being a jack of many trades including teacher, misinterpreting films, how to not return to the ‘lit firework’ of sexiness experienced as a younger man (it’ll make sense in the fullness of time, just listen!), 20% shame, double double shame and a glorious engagement story! It’s all here. You’ll love it.

Sean McLoughlin - Films To Be Buried With with Brett Goldstein #30
LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With! Join your host Brett Goldstein as he and his guest go deep into the subject of mortality via cinema, and this week he is joined by the wonderful comedian and writer SEAN McLOUGHLIN!Prepare yourself for some good time podcastery right here ladies and gentlemen, as Brett sits down and locks eyes with Sean in order to get the goods on his film picks. And you can be quite sure that they are very solid picks indeed! It’s not just those cinematic selections though - we get a good peek behind the curtains of the McLoughlin universe, including his recent shows opening for Ricky Gervais (and playing a number of ‘stadia’, as Brett would have it), how he’s got back into films after having a good break from them (lucky for the podcast!), his views on faith and belief and some very in-depth Moneyball talk. Though in the same way that you don’t have to be a baseball fan to enjoy Moneyball, you certainly don’t have to be a fan of Moneyball to enjoy this podcast. But you will be by the end, I reckon. Anyway - a great one this week folks, please enjoy!LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE:• SEAN on TWITTER!• SEAN on THE INTERNET!• SEAN'S PODCAST!• SEAN'S TOUR!• BRETT GOLDSTEIN on TWITTER!• BRETT GOLDSTEIN on INSTAGRAM!• BRETT GOLDSTEIN on PATREON!• 'SUPERBOB' - Brett's 2015 feature film!• 'CORNERBOYS' with BRETT & SCROOBIUS PIP!• DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOK• DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAMSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/filmstobeburiedwith.

Mandip Gill - Films To Be Buried With with Brett Goldstein #29
LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With! Join your host Brett Goldstein as he and his guest go deep into the subject of mortality via cinema, and this week he is joined by ex-Hollyoaks regular and current Dr Who companion, MANDIP GILL!You may have even caught Mandip on screen with Brett himself in a recent Dr Who episode! A lovely chat with the awesomely funny and always switched on and friendly Mandip, which will energise and invigorate you and surely encourage you to investigate her work further. While a great amount of cinema classics are delved into in usual Films To Be Buried With style and fashion, you can expect to hear so much more including more about Dr Who - what it was like on set and the importance of lightness and humour within the dynamic, how she gets recognized on the street more for Hollyoaks than anything else she’s been in, being the sixth kid of seven, intrusive thought syndrome and what it means for her daily life (and general thoughts on mortality), and on top of that you’ll also get some dry-land swimming lessons. Sound good? Of course it does! Enjoy Mandip Gill!LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE:• MANDIP on TWITTER!• MANDIP on IMDB!• MANDIP on DR WHO!• FILMS TO BE BURIED WITH - LIVE @ BFI!

Dominic Monaghan - Films To Be Buried With with Brett Goldstein #28
LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With! Join your host Brett Goldstein as he and his guest go deep into the subject of mortality via cinema, and this week he is joined by the heavyweight of TV and cinema - Merry, Charlie, Simon, whoever you might know him as best - it’s DOMINIC MONAGHAN!A wonderful get together with Brett and Dominic (Lost! Flashforward! Lord Of The Rings! MORE!), as the two get acquainted over life, death and film, and in this case even some plant based hallucinogens. We catch Dom in his hotel room while on a brief break filming the new Star Wars (not being filmed IN his hotel room, you understand), giving he and Brett ample time to get down into subjects such as making the most of his experience filming Star Wars and being present for it, existential crises, ayahuasca and DMT, his father’s botany expertise (which could trickle into Dom’s own plant leanings), being fiercely agnostic, how he is the link in the chain to a lot of blockbuster movies, his meditation practises and gratitude, and how he’s watched The Empire Strikes Back over 200 times. So it’s fitting that he’s starring in that new Star Wars! Excellent stuff, which branches out nicely from cinema but always gets tied up with a neat bow.

Jessie Cave - Films To Be Buried With with Brett Goldstein #27
LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With! Join your host Brett Goldstein as he and his guest go deep into the subject of mortality via cinema, and this week he is joined by the vibrant and inspirational energy of creative multi-threat JESSIE CAVE!THE MOST REQUESTED GUEST IS NOW HERE! A thorough and very satisfying journey through not only her film picks, but also her creative process and life as a whole. You’ll get a very detailed and interesting view of how her personal life feeds into her creative work, and fuels her process which will inspire and motivate you to get cracking on your own projects! Beginning with a nice breakdown of her ’Sunrise’ show, touring in the very near future near you (which you absolutely must see), you’ll hear how in fact Jessie is Brett’s nightmare of a cinema companion (bathroom breaks, chatter and so forth), how she gradually chiselled away at her show and refined it all, the madness of social media which I’m sure we now can all fully relate to, the inner workings of her past relationship and a whole ton more - so much going on, you’ll love it. Get involved - enjoy Jessie Cave!––––– ––––– –––––LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE:• JESSIE on TWITTER!• JESSIE on THE INTERNET!• JESSIE on INSTAGRAM!• BRETT GOLDSTEIN on TWITTER!• BRETT GOLDSTEIN on INSTAGRAM!• BRETT GOLDSTEIN on PATREON!• 'SUPERBOB' - Brett's 2015 feature film!• 'CORNERBOYS' with BRETT & SCROOBIUS PIP!• DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on FACEBOOK• DISTRACTION PIECES NETWORK on INSTAGRAMSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/filmstobeburiedwith.
