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 fabulous actor JOANNA SCANLAN! Joanna's portfolio is truly inspiring and just a cursory glance at her IMDB page will take a good minute or two. This is a wonderful walk down not only memory lane but also the many planes of the present, as we hear about so much of Joanna's adventurous path and how one door opened to another (intercut with a whole batch of massively diverse movies also, of course). As well as that, we get to know more about the hinge of comedy and drama, acting technique and essentially being prescribed acting, chemistry and inverse chemistry, not being an ironist, dogs and horses, generational war trauma by proxy, the base sauces of cinema, and those rough 80's vibes. A cornucopia! You will 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.
