LOOK 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!

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.
