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 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!

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.
