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 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!

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.
