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 well versed and well rounded national treasure that is PETER CAPALDI!
Peter has been a very welcome fixture of the small and big screen since a little while back, and is one of those actors who wherever you meet him on the journey, you'll very likely feel the need to acquaint yourself with the rest of the roles. Thankfully there are many, which range from the titual star of sci-fi institution Doctor Who to the irascible and short-tempered Malcolm Tucker in The Thick Of It and In The Loop. This is a delightful chat with Brett which mercifully doesn't find itself in Tucker territory, but rather the more pleasant and very enjoyable side of Peter, off camera. Tons to 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 all star producer and screenwriter ADAM SZTYKIEL!
Adam's a key player in a pivotal moment in Brett's life, it turns out, having crafted a pilot of show which - while not made into a series - you could call a pilot for loads of other awesome things that were. This was the early Bill Lawrence days, with whom Adam has worked on many projects that you will certainly have heard of. This is a great episode, super fun and a really breezy catch up which also reveals loads of nice moments and memories and standout moments. We also hear Adam go in on such things as working with a significant life-partner and the joy of validation, good cinematic parenting of a young child, LOL (or Love Of Lynch - 3 syllables so maybe an acronym is redundant), and good old fasioned Altitude Adjusted Lachrymosity Syndrome (or crying over films on planes). Enjoy!

Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with one of the UK's undisputed finest actors, it's RIZ AHMED!
...although don't it twisted, Riz is also nice on the mic too, having held it down solo in front of an audience of impatient Wu Tang fans. You will very likely be familiar with his work in an acting capacity however via movies and series such as the ones listed in this episode's title, but there is so much more including a wealth of voices in animations and such. He gets into a lot of it right here, including his work on the Black Mirror sort-of pre-cursor Dead Set, Bollywood and Lollywood, category killers, the Greek chorus of needledrops, empathy and its outward spread, and the infinite audition that is life. A really fun one, and Riz is excellent company so you're bound to love this. Enjoy!

Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with two absolute megastars in the industry, it's PHIL LORD & CHRIS MILLER!
A truly fine double-guest sureshot as Phil and Chris connect on the line to talk all things movies (and indeed life and death), and celebrate the release of their new movie PROJECT HAIL MARY! The perfect moment to receive the duo as guests. The trio actually have a through line of the Bill Lawrence connection (who appreciators will definitely be familiar with), but on top of that, we get to hear about all thing Project Hail Mary, space loneliness, getting dark but not grim-dark, science being social, the preference of mess when it comes to film, how the film 2001 clearing the cinematic dancefloor led to total inspiration, the subgenre of Florida Swamp Horror, puppet turkey crowdwork, and the joys of getting a screen band together. Their shared mantra of "Let's make someone's favourite movie" is perfect, and something that for sure many listeners can attest to. And if all else fails, as they'll advise you, just make a movie with Ryan Gosling! Enjoy.

Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with the true treasure and official friend of the podcast ELISABETH MOSS!
This is a glorious episode featuring one of the brightest shining stars of big and less-big screen (depending on your home cinema dimensions) of the past couple of decades, who handles pure business in front of as well as behind the camera. For some of us the journey began with her portrayal of Peggy Olson on Mad Men which ran for the duration of the show, and maybe for some it began more recently with the intense and chilling The Invisible Man. Without going through each and every role Elisabeth has played, basically at some point you will have encountered her work, which will surely be why you are here listening - and in this bubbly and beautiful episode you'll get to hear all sorts of behind the scenes goodies, present day life moments, and some superb choices. Elisabeth is awesome - and - we are blessed to have her on the Patreon team! For as long as she feels it appropriate to stay, naturally. ENJOY!

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 fabulous actor HIMESH PATEL!
Original writeup below:
You'll likely know the excellent Himesh from films such as Yesterday, or perhaps the pallindromological Tenet, but you are also very likely to be aware of his work on the smaller screen in shows such as Avenue 5, Station 11 or the behemoth that is Eastenders (the unbingeable one). Well, here is your chance to get acquainted with Himesh himself, as we hear about it all - the act of crying at films becoming a fork in the road for the future, re-examining problematic films, TV vs film process, and the difference in being recognized from both media. A lovely one right here!

Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with the marvelous and very multi-faceted gem JOSH HOROWITZ!
Josh has been putting in a huge amount of work over the years primarily in the world of the more public facing celebrity, be it in Q&A form, red carpet, podcast or any other formation you can think of. Well now the tables have officially turned, and Brett hosts Josh in this awesome and immensely fun catch up. We get to hear about all sorts including his own writing process, being a fan first at all times, inventive phonecall impersonations at a young age, death as a catalyst for going in on films, when horrors win, pushing sad or scared buttons, and some unlikely Superbob inspiration gets unlocked too! You shall enjoy.

Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with the absolute treasure of a comic, podcaster, film maker/producer and all round force for good TIG NOTARO!
There are so many points at which you might have become aware (and consequently, surely, a fan) of Tig, from her early days in comedy right up to recent times as actor and film-maker. Wherever that point was for you, how lucky we all are to have Tig in our lives. In what is a truly beautiful, emotional episode (with a joyful sprinkling of funny), we hear about the journey and experience of the making of 'Come See Me In The Good Light' which celebrates the life of poet and activist Andrea Gibson. As with Tig and indeed Brett, it's highly likely that you too will feel the emotion hit - but stay with it and engage with it. And of course if you haven't yet, do watch the movie, as a whole or in chapters. Otherwise, there's a huge amount of fun (oh, including being viral-sexy), and some truly choice picks from Tig so enjoy, cry, smile, do it all. Sponsored by TigSnuggledown©.
