Films To Be Buried With with Brett Goldstein

There’s a strange and wonderful intersection where the movies we love collide with the lives we’ve lived. Films To Be Buried With with Brett Goldstein explores that very crossroads, hosted by the comedian, actor, and writer-who also mentions swimming. Each week, Brett sits down with a fascinating guest for a conversation that feels like a long, meandering dinner party chat, one that inevitably turns to the big questions. They talk about life, mortality, memory, and joy, but they do it entirely through the lens of cinema. The central, playful premise is simple: if you were to be buried with a handful of films that tell the story of you, what would they be? The answers are never just a list of favorites. Instead, episodes reveal how specific films mark first loves, personal losses, coming-of-age moments, or pure, unadulterated escape. You’ll hear about the movie that made a guest who they are, the one they’d need for comfort, and even the one they’d use to explain humanity to an alien. It’s a surprisingly profound and consistently funny journey, proving that our personal filmographies are perhaps the closest thing we have to a map of our souls. This isn’t a dry critical analysis show; it’s a deeply human podcast about connection, told through the stories we watch on screen.
