Doug Naylor (Red Dwarf / Sinbin Island / Spitting Image) • #380
Dec 1000:51:15Tap to summarizeLOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With! Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with a hero of UK comic writing and creator of universes DOUG NAYLOR! Doug is a hugely important piece of the UK's comic series puzzle, having co-created the iconic sci-fi comedy series Red Dwarf which was a mainstay of primetime viewing. It also made superstars of the cast who were all awesome in their own right. Doug's been involved in a lot of subsequent (and preceding) projects of course, including his book 'Sinbin Island' (aimed at the child readers among us). This is a lovely one with Brett and Doug, covering all sorts including the generation of new material so often, being an author, a potential "anti-dying on stage device" which can be applied to life itself, hidden and visible romance in Red Dwarf, his own personal 'bit of a nuisance' and how wearing gloves can be an early signifier of future writing adventures. All will be revealed. Enjoy! Video and extra audio available on Brett's Patreon!

Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with the fabulous comic, actor and podcaster JESSICA KNAPPETT! Just a brief Rewind diversion while schedules align but rest assured, any and all Rewinds are certified gold so you will not be disappointed. Thank you folks - original writeup below (and bear in mind this in the tremors of the pandemic just after things were slowly opening up again: ––––––––––––––––––––––––– ...This is a live episode so you can expect all the real life atmosphere of people interacting and being next to each other in the same place, which is a lovely novelty for sure. A fantastic one though, with a really nice vibe throughout and all sorts of fun and games to be had including being pregnant, living in LA, signs of the end as hipsters start arming up, making and working on Drifters, the soon-to-be hit game 'I Don't Spy', human kindness and the worst week of cinema going ever. Lovely stuff! Enjoy - you shall! Video and extra audio available on Brett's Patreon!

Zach Braff • Rewind Classic (A Good Person / Garden State / Scrubs) • #363
Aug 1300:56:21Tap to summarizeLOOK 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 wonderful actor and improviser ZACH BRAFF! Dearest Films To Be Buried With crew! Last week was the Tony Hale Rewind Classic. This week we have the Zach Braff Rewind Classic. The season is indeed transmitting in a slightly different frequency to usual, but we truly appreciate your continued support and listening ears. Regular service will resume shortly, but for now we are on a bit of a Summer Holiday schedule! The podcast has thrown a tantrum and screamed and screamed and all of us involved in its making have had to sit it in the car with a lil' sippy cup, a lollypop, its favourite teddybear (a fluffy Simba of course), and throw on a ton of easy to sing-a-long playtime jams on the stereo, while we drive it to the seaside where heaven help us we may all get some peace. So thank you for being here, and for being cool and patient while we all resume our composure. Everyone exhausted after that extended metaphor? I can only assume so. X Each Rewind gets a mini brush-up and comb through too, so hopefully you'll be experiencing a "remastered" feel too - no quad-surround Dolby action unfortunately but just a slightly nicer iteration for 2025. Below is the original writeup: ––––––––––––––––––––––––– Actor, director, screenwriter, fake doctor. But REAL friend. You may of course know Zach from his full term shift as J.D. in Scrubs, or maybe you saw Garden State, or perhaps some more recent work altogether - well here's your perfect chance to catch up on everything Zach, which includes those fun packed back in the days nuggets, the Scrubs podcast, what the term 'execution dependent' could possibly mean, directing a Ted Lasso and becoming an inventor in the process, younger day sob-fests, and being an HSP! You'll find out. A lovely chirpy episode which you'll love! Video and extra audio available on Brett's Patreon!

Tony Hale • Rewind Classic (Arrested Development / Inside Out 2 / Veep) • #362
Aug 6, 202500:59:19Tap to summarizeLOOK 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 wonderful actor and improviser TONY HALE! Dearest Films To Be Buried With crew! You've just seen the recent season of Rewind episodes come your way, with freshly polished and thoroughly rinsed iterations of past classics to revisit or catch up on if you missed them first time around. We are currently in the season of new episodes as you will have also seen, however this week there was a very sudden schedule conflict. We've been able to navigate them relatively easily in the past but this one was one of those unavoidable types. We would never leave you with nothing of course, and this is a good week to revisit the delightful episode with Tony Hale. It was a really joyful and at times laugh out loud episode, and certainly one worth picking back up if you heard it once already. Tony's hilarious and very good for a story or two, and the ongoing fun about Brett's supernatural gift keeps getting funnier. A really lovely one right here. Below is the original writeup: ––––––––––––––––––––––––– It is likely that you know Tony from his stellar turn in Arrested Development as Buster Bluth, but if not, a cursory glance at his IMDB will reveal a TON of works that you will certainly be familiar with. Tony's a joy here as he and Brett check in and catch up on so much, including Veep, shakey hands in Sopranos, bad acting teachers, unity via Taylor Swift, being in Inside Out and the second one, spirituality and altogether so much more. It's such a good one. You WILL enjoy. Video and extra audio available on Brett's Patreon!

Glenn Moore (Mock The Week / Live At The Apollo / Please Sir, Glenn I Have Some Moore?) • #361
Jul 30, 202501:00:00Tap to summarizeLOOK 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 hilarious comic GLENN MOORE! A lovely gathering of Brett and Glenn as the two get into this whole mess of life and films, and extract some sense out of the whole situation. Glenn is game of course from the beginning, and you can expect a really great time on this one as they cover ground such as to credit or not to credit before a gig, putting the (almost) death in Death Valley (named for a reason), sad film criteria, post-trauma checks on actors, the inherent scariness of a fixed camera and misleading origin stories. But so much more! You will enjoy, absolutely. Video and extra audio available on Brett's Patreon!

Zainab Johnson • The Resurrection (Hijabs Off / She The People / Upload) • #360
Jul 23, 202500:52:24Tap to summarizeLOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With! Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe (again) with the comic, actor, writer and producer ZAINAB JOHNSON! The RESURRECTION! The venue for this resurrection is the beginning of Zainab's holday, where we catch her getting ready to turn all devices onto airplane mode. Of course, we have MUCH work to get through before this happens, and in doing so we get to hear about so much including holiday process, Zainab's upcoming residency at Edinburgh Fringe ('Toxically Optimistic'), how indeed to pronounce Edinburgh, the 'introducing' credit, being barefoot and pregnant in another timeline, and equalising versus overlising. Pure joy from beginning to end, you'll love this one. And if you hear it before the Fringe and upcoming tours, make efforts to see the live show! Video and extra audio available on Brett's Patreon!

Mark Gatiss (Bookish / The League Of Gentlemen / Sherlock) • #359
Jul 16, 202500:56:21Tap to summarizeLOOK 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 writer, actor, author and esteemed multi-hyphenate MARK GATISS! Mark has had involvement on screens of all sizes, not to mention just about all media available, and is a beloved presence in the creative world. A quick listen to Brett's comprehensive intro will back this up easily. But it's not always the case that we get to hear from Mark, let alone his cinematic choices or indeed thoughts on transcending mortal existence! So enjoy this awesome check-in where we get to hear some genuinely lovely wisdom and fun moments from someone who's likely worked on one of your favourite shows or series - a fabulous episode with so much to get lost in. And Mark's definitely good for a tale or two. Have fun! Video and extra audio available on Brett's Patreon!

Jul 9, 202500:50:39Tap to summarizeLOOK 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 powerful actor, producer and director JUSTIN HARTLEY! Justin's been on the screen and stage for decades now and will hopefully be a face and voice you are well familiar with. But even if you're less aware of Justin, this is a fabulous ep for all as you get to hear so much about the process and indeed how he found roles and maintained them. From the old to the newer, it's an immense body of work but we also hear about such things as what it's actually like to join huge culturally important shows, being a part of long running classic series, the unique instinct that calls for 100+ takes, being cool like M J Fox, and how to dial in a body. All that and more on this week's awesome Films To Be Buried With! Video and extra audio available on Brett's Patreon!

David Dastmalchian (The Life Of Chuck / Late Night With The Devil / Oppenheimer) • #357
Jul 2, 202501:01:27Tap to summarizeLOOK 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 and great DAVID DASTMALCHIAN! A really lovely, fun and extremely touching episode which contains multitudes. David's been putting in work for years and will very much be a face you'll recognise, if not a name you'll remember, and as always with these talks with Brett we hear so much of what makes the person who they are. In this case, not only do we hear about David's 23 years sober, 50 years of life, his religious upbringing, achieving tone of character via art and music, Z-movies, and past roles - we also hear about his personal life which in this case will require a trigger warning. As David clearly states after going into his experience, help is available and can be found should you or a loved/cared-for one be in similar circumstances. The warning should be observed after the second ad-break here - hard to give an 'out' time as ad-breaks are unpredictable but if you want a clean sweep, give it like 10 minutes. Help lines are below in the links. All that said, a lovely episode from someone with a lot of heart and soul. Enjoy! Video and extra audio available on Brett's Patreon!
