Speaker 1 (02:30):
Where are you?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I am in Dublin, are you will? Yeah, I'm sitting
in my bed office. Apologies, That's where all my zooms happen.
This is the bed office. Yeah. I couldn't recommend it enough.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
For those of you who may watch this. If I may,
it looks like I'm being haunted.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I just love to do zooms on my bed because
I'm so relaxed. Then, yes, I've got my ah nice, yeah, cozy,
it's got the vibe.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yes, a haunted room. That is that is connected on zoom.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I don't know, apologies, but I feel like it would
be a better podcast for us be in with desks.
Can't be do with desks very restrictive.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Is this where you do all your work in the
in the guystly bed office?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Great, I worry I'd fall asleep if I if I
worked in bed often.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
That's the beauty of it, right, It's the possibility you
could follows. You're looking at it the wrong way. Some jeopardy,
a little sneaky nap. There's nothing better than a nap
in my opinion, and waking up and having no idea
what day, what time it is, where you.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Are lovely, what meeting you're in.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, that's where I get my cakes from these days.
Sneaky up to the now.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Emma, I'm a fan of yours. We've never met before. Yes,
you're basically an influencer. I sort of discovered you on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I was so surprised.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
And you're very funny. You do very funny stand up
and you do it funny sketchco stuff. And you've got
three podcasts on the go or is it that too?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah too, So I have one with Digit Locaine.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yes, that's very funny.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It's called keep It Tight, and yeah with Chast once
a week. We're both comedians, torn around so with swap stories.
And then I have another one with my daughter who
is twenty one.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
How does that work now? I haven't listened to that.
Tell me, yeah, doing anything with your daughter? And has
it changed? Has it changed your relationship doing a public thing.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
We're quite open, but it's probably a cliche thing to say.
I'm surprised at like how much I learn from her,
because you know the way on the podcast, you do
have to keep talking and like she said to me there,
like refly was so funny. She was going out a date,
very straighted with your children, like start dates and stuff,
(04:56):
And a bit of advice for anyone, never asked to
see a picture of the day, because there's no good
way to react to that. As a parent. You can't
say like, oh, well they're really good looking, like it's
just weird. So she's gone on the date and whatever,
and she was getting ready and then she was sitting
on the couch and she wasn't going And I was like,
what about the date. She's like, no, I called her off.
(05:16):
It just didn't something was off. I wasn't, you know,
I wasn't feeling. I was like, but were they not
on their way to the date? Say, I've told them
they're on their way to the date, like you have
to go on the date. And then she said to me,
she's like, I don't owe that person anything. I was like,
so right, yes, they're going, like we're not going in
(05:38):
like do some cheeky just like because yo the word Like.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, I'm like, well you've you probably have to marry them.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
You don't have to meet them. Maybe a bit of it.
She was like, So she was educate me. She's like, no, no,
you don't have to do that. Wow, you've raised the right.
How does she learn this stuff? I don't know. It
wasn't from me.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Has doing it? Were you always very close and talk
all the time or is.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
This like yeah, we were always very close because I
had her when I was eighteen, so I got pregnant
with her basically like I went after like my idea
was to go and discover the world. My parents were
quite strict, so I went up discover the world and
I got as far as Coretent in Wexford and got
pregnant there in about four days. Like the freedom just
blew my mind.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You got pregnant from freedom?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Oh yeah, totally totally. So I went back home and
I was doing like my final year in school, so
I was like the pregnant girl Emma. And then twelve
years later my daughter went to the same school and
it was all the same teachers.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
So she kind of even before that though, but she
knew the whole story, you know, like it's like in
an age appropriate way. So it was always really open
with her. And then even as she was a teenager,
I would always be saying to her like if a
near friends get into trouble, like bring me, and you know,
I was kind of waiting for it to be like,
you know, skins or but it wasn't. None of them
(07:04):
drink or spoke, and they're all very sensible or whatever.
So yeah, we've always been close, but she's very like,
she's very sensible. My brother's theory is that she's rebelling
against me. She's doing a PhD at the moment. What
so yeah, I know, yeah, she's a PhD. So she
did a degree in psychology and now she's off doing that.
(07:25):
So we're very different.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Great, maybe he made the savior of the world.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I don't know that there's two negatives to make a
positive or something. Just some sort of something happened chemically.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Can ask a question really personal and maybe inappropriate, is
the father involve? Was the father?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Vove? Yes? The father? Basically like that was just like
a dalliance, a somewhat romance. Now, we did keep in
touch after the fact because I was going to go
visit him and he then had gone to college and
I was on the phone ho and he was like,
when you come to visit or whatever, and I said
to him, I'm pregnant. Actually, it's so funny. Chris Rock
(08:06):
has it in one of his shows. I don't know
which one it is, but like if a woman says
too that she's pregnant, and then your response is, what
are you going to do? So I just don't lie
because that's what he said to me. So now he's
a lovely man or whatever. So it was kind of
like ropy for a few years, but it's all good.
(08:27):
Now everyone is in touch. He is married, he has
his own family. I've met them all. They're all gorgeous.
His wife is a lovely woman. We were all at
the twenty first Yeah, so it's really nice. But if
you'd asked me twenty one years ago, I probably will,
like Fock's sake, given it about him, you know what
I mean, well for him, but no, it just took
(08:49):
it stuck a little bit of time. But it's all.
It's all good.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Thank you for ye.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
All right, you need see this when you have a kid,
yr you actually need a script because everyone's always so
curious and everyone wants to know because people think of
that time that they dodged the bullet themselves, or you
know what I mean. Or you're like, oh, my sister
had a kid when she was sixty or my friend
or you know, everyone could Everyone has thought about it.
(09:15):
Anyone who has ever had any sort of sexual contact
with another person always thinks about what would have happened. Yes,
if that would have resulted in a baby?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Fuck, it's perfectly normal to ask the questions. I've been
asked them all.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
And when did you start comedy?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I started comedy at twenty nine, so I thought I
was very old because I already had like a ten
year old. Yes, you gentlemen, So I did think quite Oh,
but what had happened was I was on I met
my partner, Shane Ande with now and we got together.
That was all happy and clovely and whatever. And then
(09:53):
I had my son, Joe, and I was on maternity leave,
and I suddenly kind of thought to myself, always wanted
to do something like comedy or creative or like my
thing was. I always wanted to, like secretly, like you
would never tell anyone, but I wanted to act. And then, obviously,
you know, I went home and told my family I
was pregnant. I wasn't going to say and I'm going
(10:14):
to be an actor as well, like that would just
be a bit too much. Get a grip. So when
did like sensible at min jobs, you know, annoying jobs.
But then I was like god, I was like ten years,
it's gone so fast, and I haven't really I don't
like little things, but nothing really like really putting myself
out there because I'd be too embarrassed, like god, Scarlett.
So when I was at maternity leave, I did some
(10:36):
sketches with friends and that like got a good response
from people. I got like a Telly audition and stuff
as well, and I was like, oh, it just so easy.
I couldn't film it because I'd hear my pregnancy in
the audition. I know, so bad so Irish.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Just carrying boxes in front of you.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah, I just were really floating clothes and kind of
arched my work and I got it. But then they
were filming on my due dates, so that all went whatever.
But that kind of gave me a bit of confidence
and I said, you know what, maybe I'm going to
do the stand up. So then when Joe, I think
was six weeks old, I said to Shane, I was like,
I'm going to go and do stand up comedy and
(11:18):
he was like, you're having a breakdown. This is obviously
like some post natal depression thing or something, and he
was like, okay. I went and did it, did the
first one and it was in a place in Dublin
called Battle of the Axe. I thought it would be like,
do you know, like in eight Mile when M and
M Yes, you know and it's like yeah. I thought
(11:40):
that because it was Battle of the Axe. I thought
it would be real serious and all the graphics on
the Crappy website were all real like grungey or something.
And I went to it. It was totally fine. It
was very relaxed. I was like, oh, this is actually
I just my idea of stand up comedy at that
time was just that it would be really rowdy. Obviously
sometimes it can't be. Ready would like most of the
(12:00):
time it's not. And I went and did that anyway,
and then they do a little competition and I won
the competition. I was like, oh great. I was like,
so I just yeah, I've been totally addicted, totally addicted,
and that was my obsession and still is obsessed to
go over my life.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
That's really cool. And the tour you're doing at the
moment is this how many tours of you?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
This is only my second like proper tour like I've
done a few shows, but I was always afraid of
like people not coming. I don't really like that, and
so I did a few like small shows. So I'd
say this is show number five, but like only the
second one of like touring around and how.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Do you like the touring part of it?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I love it. I do because I've done absolutely forgot
like in terms of travel, like I've been nowhere. I've
just been having kids, so be senseil. So now my
youngest is nine, so I feel like I'm at a
good point where I can kind of, you know, leave
a little bit and come back, you know, for a
few days. Like so yeah, it's really I love being
(13:05):
like on my own and meeting people. And it is
a little bit We're get a little bit tired, that's
the thing. But I've got this morning. I was like,
I booked this really early flight, not really only, but
I was like a seven something, and I think, oh,
that's so clever of me. And then when I went
to leave the hotel, I was like, it's the middle
of the night. What are you doing? Because I tried
(13:27):
to get when I'm out on my own, I tried
to give this impression that I'm a man like I
put my hood up and try and give off a vibe, right,
you know, but then I think, right, I better get
an uber because of oh, such sheap skate. I'm constantly
I was staying in the crap is places. I just
I love being cheap, and I vape as well. Apologies
by vape, so that gives off a goodbye because the
(13:49):
vape is oh yeah, I do have the fape.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Okay, yeah, it's you're not.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Mess like that's three kilos and men. So but yeah,
I just light. People are coming and people there, and
people are so like it's a lot for people to
organize to go to shows, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, you got to me like I do really know
what you mean. I find it really like I've talked
about this before, but I sort of find it genuinely
moving the people to get baby oh big.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Sore because I'm like the person who I will see
things for sale or whatever, and I'm like, oh, that's great,
But I don't actually make the whole the follow through
of like, yeah, oh yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Interesting meeting your friends somewhere where we meeting for a drink, you.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Know that getting food? What time can you come.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Up do you know how long it is? Because I've
got a thing tomorrow. You know all that.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yeah, I actually do that. Now. I go straight out
and I just say, okay, so this part is going
to be twenty minutes. Then we're gonna have a break.
We're gonna so people know, because people want to know,
people have lies, you know, it needs.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
To be completely I think the same with films. I'm like,
I have to know what I'm looking at it, and
you have to say, if this is a three hour film,
that's fine, but I have to know that so I'm
emotionally prepared. If it's ninety minutes, great, I just don't
want to three hours. It feels endless. What's happened?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Three hours? It's not ready. I could do three hours now.
I need I need to know. I need to know fixtures.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Emma Duran. Yes, I've forgotten to tell you something. I
should have. Fuck, I should have actually said this earlier,
maybe when we texted. I probably should have told you.
But it's only just sort of come back to me.
I think I'm you know, it's listen, it's it's early,
and so forgive me, but I'll just I'll just tell you.
I guess I guess, well, I guess you've died. You're dead. Yeah, yeah,
(15:52):
that's why you I'm ghosty.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I'm so obvious.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah that's why I was like that. I forgot that
when I'm literally looking at you, guys, how did you die?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I die? I'll tell you how I died. I fell
down the stairs. I fell on the stairs, and in
a cruel twist, I fell on something of my own,
Brabbie cairdire, wrapped up on the put on the stairs
to be brought back upstairs. And it was real, one
of those false but I looked nice on the ground.
(16:28):
I was not really shaped, you know what? What had
killed you? Like you break your neck, but in a
in a really sexy way, yeah, one of sex. You're
just like nice, Like the hair was kind of covering it.
And people thought I was messing. We're having a joke
and she's actually dead.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Does it please you for a minute they thought you
were joking.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Yeah, go out and the joke. Yeah, it's kind of nice,
And I want I'd like the idea of people kind
of telling other people say, we thought we actually thought
she was joking. Thought she was joking, so her all over.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Find the way she went it was funny, like it
seemed like planned because she said she'd also put the
head right there herself, so we just thought the whole
thing was a setup.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I'm constantly falling down the stairs though, constantly. Yeah, I
love to like I love getting jobs in the house, doe.
So if I'm bringing laundry downstairs, I don't want to
make the two trips. I'm gone for the big one. Yes,
wearing slippers with no backs, constantly, constantly for myself.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
How old do you want to be when you die?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Oh? I mean how greedy can you be? Can you
say nineties? I mean, I don't know. I think I'm
going to have an accent or something. But maybe eighty
eight eighty eight? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Okay, yeah, why yeah, eight seems reasonable? Okay, maybe eighty
four eighty four? Yeah, I just I'm not giving enough
to vape. I'll just be honest about that.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
So, yeah, that's keeping my muscle density up, lifting it
up to my mouth the whole time.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
You've got one very strong arm and one very weak one,
because you don't know today. Yeah, okay, so you're eighty
eight and you're dead, do you worry about death?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
No? I don't really. I was brought to a lot
of funerals and wakes as a child, Like my dad
would have brought me to lots of funerals, and I
was trained at a very young age to I go
up to the person and say sorry for your loss,
which is I was like, no, I can't. He kind
(18:44):
of trained me so we would come from like a
big well, it's kind of an Irish thing, just being
big on wakes and funerals and stuff like that and
this when you're dead, there's nothing you can do about it.
It's all the I'm more concerned about other people dying
than me dying.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
It does seem in and forgive me if this is wrong,
from what you're saying, I've heard this foot it does
seem that in Ireland, compared to England, death is much
more open, as in like come and see this body,
come and have a party around the body.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Yeah, eat sandwiches over the body.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Yeah. Does that? Do you actually think that? Because I
think death is too secretive in English culture, like it's
a bit like I don't know know what to do
with it. And when I hear about Ireland sometimes I think, also,
wonder does it genuinely help you? You're you're not scared
of death, right, is it? Because you've been around loads
of dead bodies having sandwiches?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I think so. Yeah. Read Shane's dad, dad my sword,
like this is a go a few years ago. But
obviously he obviously like four, he had never seen a
dead body, but he Oh my god, So his dad
is like in the sitting room, in the coffin, laid out.
I wonder how he's going to react, and I got
(19:58):
he played an absolutely blinder going up to him in
the caffe and he was blowing kisses, he was checking
on him. He was all fake, all fake for the attention.
He was like, he's not baptized, and people are like,
oh my god, he knows, you know, if he's been
here before. He was getting money from people. It was
a total performance art piece. So I don't even know
(20:20):
if you're represently all of I'd say most people in
my family who have died. Yeah, I saw them in
coffins in the house.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Like and can I ask you have a very well
serious question. Yes, having seen lots of people you love
as bodies in the house, when you look at them,
do you think, oh, they're gone? Like as in is it?
How do you feel so spiritually about these.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, it is actually it does actually show that the
person is gone, because I mean they've done the whole
embalming thing to them and all that jazz. Yeah, you
do actually know that they're gone. But then I have
done the whole thing of like I would say like
goodbye to them or whatever are going and have a
little chat with them. I kind of like, we'll not
(21:08):
like that, but you know what I mean. But yeah,
and then like some others, you would see where the
dead person looks totally mad. You kind of have to
say to people on the slide, what do they do
to her face? They have to put mad makeup on
it that she's never wear like this. They're like, Krannie's
looking real glad. What's that why she got lashes on?
(21:34):
So yeah, maybe i'd say my because my dad was
so into funerals. We were like you to like you
should get a blog or someth because he would come
back and he would review the funeral for us, like
there's different points that are you know, good, bad or whatever.
So a good eulogy is very important, and you have
to have humor in the eulogy as well. Yeah, you
(21:56):
know you can't just be it's nice touch. This is
it's a nice touch. If there is a young member
of the family crying, that's quite good, but nobody wailing.
We don't want anyone wailing. We want a little bit
of like emotion, but not not like banging on the
coffin kind of like mad stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Does he do a point system for the food for
the sandwiches?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, yeah, point system for the food. You know, it's
kind of two soup and sandwiches, so it's very basic stuff.
So he's kind of if they're getting that wrong, he's annoyed.
And then turn out would be very important, like a
massive turnout. And who's carrying the coffin as well? Also
we want to know because there will be things like, no,
the eldest son wasn't carrying the coffin, what was going
(22:36):
on there? Gossipy drama as well, like it's got everything.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I'd like your dad to do that blog like YouTube, youtubeanu, way,
it just does I'm here, here's the spread.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Look at these sandwiches and the rosery beats and stuff
like that. Yeah, but he talks about his own funeral constantly,
and sometimes we would say Tom if he's annoying it.
We would say you better shut your face because we're
judge your funeral if you don't pipe down like he
hates you know, the flowers with the like dad, Yes,
(23:14):
he hates them, right, and we're like, we'll get them.
You don't shut your face. Piped out fucking Dad Bouquet. Yeah,
oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a threat.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
What do you think happens when you die? Do you
think there's enough to learn?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Oh? I do think probably nothing. I wish, I know,
I wish I could believe in Look parts we do believe,
and I do talk to dead people that I know
and all that stuff, but I kind of feel like, oh,
nothing happens. But I do believe that whether you're cremated
or whatever, I do believe that it is good to
go back into the ground in some way and feed
into the earth, and kind of I do believe in that.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
For whatever reason, did you just say I do talk
to dead people. I don't know, but I do know that.
I was like, that's a big it's a big reveal.
I don't believe his stuff, but I do talk to
loads of dead strangers who visit me in this scary room.
It seems like you're quite connected. Yeah, I mean I
see dead people, but I'm not like into.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
No, I don't mean pig long chats like. I just
mean little like if I see things like you love that,
but I'm not. I'm not saying it out loud. I'm
not saying on the out loud like soietly to yourself.
It's not loud.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
My head were staring at someone I see.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I think it's so hard because I know, well, not
that I know, I don't know, but I don't think
it is real. At the same time, as a kid,
they told me by myself, I set up an altar
in my room. My mother, who's didn't very unusual at
the time in our generation, but she didn't go to
mass so she was just like, what is this kid doing,
(24:59):
Like she's building an l in the room. I just
I kind of. I love the idea of it all.
I think it is lovely. Yeah, it's a good story, Bush.
I know my heart of hers is probably not real.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Well listen, am dooran. Yeah you're wrong. It is real.
You have been talking to dead people and there is
a heaven. Okay, Yeah, and they're very excited to see you.
Welcome there. You made it, and it's filled with your
favorite thing. What's your favorite thing?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Like I say, my electric blanket?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Okay, do you know what? It's pretty great because the
ground you can walk around it barefoot and it's like
electric blankets your fear always warm and cozy. Yeah, And
there's like sofas and bed offices and everything is everything's
made of electric blankets, everything you touches, So it's pretty great.
(25:53):
And you can roll around, you know what I mean,
Like it's always like a trampoline park, but filled with
electric blanket love her. Yeah, pretty great. And it's so
warm there though sometimes you're like turn it down a bit,
you know, I loah, and you're chatting away to dead
people as usual, and they're all they're all very excited
to see you lovely, yeah, and they want to talk
(26:15):
to you about your life, but they want to talk
about your life through the medium of film. What's the
first film that you remember seeing.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
The first film I remember seeing is All Dogs Go
to Heaven.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Wow done Blue.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Yes, I think I must have been like six. I
don't see the films before. This is my first. I'm
pretty sure it was my first time ever going to
cinema where with my cousin were sitting in the back
of the car. She got sick down or bus. It
was only twenty months away from the house. I was, so,
she has wrecked the vibe, you know. But I don't
(26:50):
know if she did, but I know. I got at
the cinema. The used to have the boxes of sweets,
I think like fruit gones and pastures and little boxes.
Opened the box it was in like a little brown bag,
and I was like, Wow, this is so sophisticated. I
didn't particularly like. I wasn't totally gone on the movie.
It wasn't like a case off. I went to see
(27:10):
this movie and I was now obsessed with the dog
and it wasn't that cute. Well he's like a gangster,
isn't it. It's yeah, but I think I got better
with making the animals cute and animation. It wasn't that cute.
And I think he was dead or something. Actually, I
think he was deafinitly came back to life. Yeah, I
think he gets killed. Like it's like a sort of
gangster story, like he's been yeah something, yeah something fact
(27:34):
to do something ourselves something or whatever. But yes, it
wasn't really the film. I was kind of in my
own head as a kid, probably like six out of ten.
But it was the whole experience of going to the
cinema that I love.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Like your dad at a funeral, it's not very cute,
it's but you know, but I.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Did like yeah, and you see, I was a bit
scared of dogs. I wasn't a now two dogs, but
I wasn't a dog person because our neighbor had a
dog who was like an Alsatian and a't somebody's hat
and was totally this hyper dog. So it's, oh, it
was really sketch about dogs.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
You know. I had a rabbish, so I think the
dog is an alsation, you know.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah, yeah, maybe there's some sort of trauma there in
the background. But yeah, it was very I remember it
was very exciting, even the puke, and like in fairness,
the puke kind of hyped up the drama a little,
you know, a puke of the cares high stakes.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah, that certainly brought something to it, didn't it.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. So I had no idea who
I had no idea who Burt Reynolds was, so it
kind of meant nothing to me. I wish i'd known
at the time. I wouldn't. I wouldn't have appreciated it.
As six yearld I wouldn't have appreciated Burt Reynolds. But
maybe as a woman, I would have been.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Like, as a scary dog, i'd put you off.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, or but I don't know, like, had they really used,
you know, already established actors as voiceovers.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
No, it wasn't a regular occurrence. Yeah, that's the real thing.
It might have been one of the first occasions of
a movie started doing yeah, doing their voice Interesting. What
is the film that scared you the most? And do
you like being scared?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Oh? Big scared? And I remembers so vividly the film
that scared me the most was Witches Grow Dout. Yeah, right,
So I went to a friend's house for her birthday.
My dad dropped me, but dad was always late, and
this house was like, honestly, got like ten minutes in
(29:31):
care we're late, We're like twenty minutes late, and people saying, no,
we didn't think you were coming, all this usual thing.
So it's kind of like they're waiting for me to
start the film. And I kind of heard about the
film through the grapevine, and I gave the speech beforehand.
I give the speech. I say to everyone, guys, just
remember it's just a film. Was the most scared. The
(29:57):
most scared the bit at the when witches are having
the meetings and they kind of let off the wigs
and everything. Yeah, I was just like fuck because I
believed in all that ship. When I was a kid,
I believed in fairies. I wrote letters to the fairies.
I had like back and forth letters with the fairies.
My imagination was a fairies replied, the fairies replied, yeah,
(30:21):
and little tiny handwriting and little tiny letters, so they're real. Yeah,
obviously they're real. But we had all correspondence. Then WILLIAMT
what were you chatting about? That's their bread and butter.
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Did you ask what they're doing with the teeth houses?
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yeah yeah. The building has just kind of fairy stuff.
And then they came and visited me one night. I
was in my bedroom and I had the light on
and the curtains open, and they came and visited me.
Now skeptics would say they were mouths, but I know
they were fairies.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Listen to muffs leave and now they left.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I can't sleep more trying to keep up with the
letters from them up they'd have to. They had like
tiny little envelopes. Yeah, and the page would be covered
in highlighters kind of we kind of like the highlighters
my dad had. It would be like govern highlighters and
lovely little writing or whatever. So witches. To me, that
was just like, yeah, bring it on. And I totally,
(31:22):
I totally believed it. And I think Angelica Houston as
a witch unbelievable casting. I was just in that completely
and I was so scared, but I was so adamant
about I was scared, and I was kind of checking
in on other people scarier.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Okay, it's just remember what I said at the beginning,
Remember when I intried this film, it's just a film? Yeah, yeah,
is it?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Let me quickly, Yeah right.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
I loved to the pherries and see what they think
keep the witches away. But I don't remember anything else
about the party. I just remember that as been like
a very intense experience. I just remember the birthday girl.
I don't remember any of the other people, but yeah,
proper like ship.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Now about what about what's the film that made you cry?
Speaker 2 (32:11):
The nice, easy easy filmina? Fuck, I'm talking about cry.
I'm talking like ball ball sometimes I'll even watch that
when I feel like I need to cry, like I
need to get it out of me. It's like, obviously
a true story that's not even important because everyone in Ireland,
(32:31):
take her, knows that story of women having to being
forced to like you know, give up their children and
their babies being adopted by rich Americans. But I think
Judy Dench as that character of that is a very
particular Irish woman and it's shown so well in the
film where the character of Martin at certain points early
(32:53):
on he thinks that she's like a little bit silly
or a bit like dim and how she's said to everyone, oh,
you're one in a million around and he's like, yeah, slagger,
like how can everyone be one in a million or whatever?
But then when she says truim about he's kind of
been a bit of a stand office with the staff
at the hotel, and she says to oh, you should
(33:14):
be nice to the people you know, because you never
know who you'll meet on the way back down. You
all people should know that, Martin, and you can see
he really goes and oh yeah, but so like she's
a bit like scatty and whatever, but she's actually got
all this great wisdom and just that the whole thing
will be like very kind of scatty, and she's what
time is, where am I going? And what did I
come in here for? And what's going on? I don't know,
(33:36):
you know, I couldn't be possibly doing that. But then
on the other side of it, being very smart and
I don't know, just haven't like a kind of a
quiet compassion for other humans that they like don't shout
about like, but they display through her everyday life, just
in simple small ways. Is like I have met that
(33:56):
woman so many times, and just the way that she
play that is so nice. But then the scene when
she thinks back of when her son was taken from
her ball ball bat ball, Oh yeah really, I yeah,
that's my cry film.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I think that's a great answer, And that's reminded me
of what I wanted to ask you earlier. Do you
think you will do a podcast with your son when
he's older? Is he jealous of you doing a podcast with.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
No, they don't, they don't care. They've been honest. Sometimes
I get the bit they're wandering around and they have
the little bits of videos and stuff like that. But
I'll only just judge up by them. You know, sometimes
you can see it in them. Although Ella would never
I don't need to be a performer, but she likes
to do, you know, like some people are normal. I
(34:46):
can just have things as hobbies and other people have
to take it to the extreme, people to normal people
that just have hobbies and stuff. Whatever.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
What's the film that you have? It is not critically
but you.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Oh yeah, I know, Mystic Pizza. It's such a shit film.
It's so shit, it's so good. So Julia Roberts is
going out with a posh lad and that's a big
to do. Then Julia Roberts's sister is having an affect.
She's a babysitter. She's the goody two shoes, she's saving
money for college or some shy and she's babysit for
(35:23):
this guy. She's having an affair with him, full of
don't worry. His wife is she's off doing something. And
then their friend there's this big to do about. She
doesn't want to get married, so she runs off the
wedding and then they stay together, but he's like, oh,
you just want to have sex, you don't want to
marry me. All this it's total nonsense. And then in
the end, the pizza place that they all work in
(35:45):
gets reviewed by this big que reviewer and it's a
big deal. And somebody rings the pizza ea and goes,
can I make a reservation? And they're like reservation whatever. Oh,
and Julia Robbers characters meant to be like the bad girl.
Her mother says, he why can't you be more like
your sister? I love like she's the backer. She's having
(36:05):
the odd smoke and she's walking around with a four
pack of cans, you know, like the little American cans.
She seems pretty chill to me, like she's not doing
it too crazy.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah you know what I mean, I do. That's how
you portrayed bad in the eighties. Yeah, yeah, a cigarette
and it just would have the married, mad life. Yeah,
she seems to one more troubled.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Yeah, Jenny Rabbit's got two jobs on the guy as well.
I'm pretty sure she's working in the Ycht club and
she's working place.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
She's got great she's the best girls.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
But I love her. If I if that comes out
or I see it somewhere, I just kind of do
it like a little giggle to myself. I go here,
we go comes and he takes I think he takes
like a tiny bite of the pizza. I'm kind of
(37:03):
so good. It gives off that kind of thing. It
was written in an afternoon, you know what I mean.
But it's fine, it's fine.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
What is a film that you used to love but
you've watched it recently and you've got I don't like
this anymore?
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Mermaids?
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Hey, how dare you? I loves recently?
Speaker 2 (37:29):
I love. I think I was really sold on the
casting and the style of it and everything and all
shares outfits fantastic and Bob Hoskins and beautiful, beautiful and
beautiful love Christina Richie obviously, I feel like I've watched
her and I think maybe the same age. Anyway, So Christmas,
(37:49):
we're all watching movies, and we're all picking movies to
watch to show the other people, and I picked Mermaids.
I'm watching it and shoop shooping on the couch.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Do you intro it to everyone? Did you into it? Like,
just to be clear, this is a movie? Panic?
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Yeah? I was like, this is good. Yeah, don't be scared. Yeah,
actually should because that's what happened was we watch it
and my daughters like Winona Ryder is having relations with
a man who is well into his twenties. I'm like, okay,
I forgot about this bit. And then there's a bit
where after she's done that, she's had now ride up
(38:26):
in the belt of the church with this man. She
goes scoop and she goes drinking and her sister nearly
drowns in the lake and shares off on a date
or something. So and she's like, God, this is really
depressing or whatever. I was like, God, kind it is.
I thought my memory of it was it was a
fun movie.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Yeah, it's just isn't it.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah. Yeah, so that was a total disaster. I was like,
oh God, And yeah, there's a lot of there's a
lot of filler. Christina Ritchie is doing the whole thing
where she's trying to get the record for holding her
breath underwater, and chairs just kind of waltzing around the
gas going I'm going out. Okay.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
We were thinking of the music video to me mates,
that's what we were thinking.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Yeah, and I thought it was quite cute. Chair and
Bob pasking together and you know, it's cute and it's
nice whatever, but like, yeah, but not a writer, like
and her mom totally gives out as well. Her mom's
just calling her slot and also, I mean, come on,
and Chare is someone that has kept having to move
down because all these boyfriends, you know what I mean,
(39:36):
go out of the mouth. But yeah, it wasn't good.
I have to I think I have to watch on
my own, you know what I mean, and just double check.
But Shane and Ellen was just like, this is a
load of bollocks. This is good.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Sorry, that's horrible. That's a horrible feeling when you're trying
to film somewhere and you're like, oh.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Yeah, yeah I was.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Don't you feel like you made it? Don't you feel Yeah?
Speaker 2 (39:58):
And they didn't. They didn't know it at all, you
know what I mean. I was like, I don't have mermaids,
you know, I did that whole thing. And I can't
remember what their movies were, but they're all good, you know,
they're all good. Of course I whack this one. Else.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
What's the film that means the mice to you? Not
because the film itself is any good necessarily, yea, the
experience you had watching it makes it special to you.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Yes, I think that coyote ugly go on. So my
friend Laura had seen it and she had said to me,
She's like, you have to watch this film with me.
She was like it's so bad. And I was like,
but you've seen it and she's like, no, but I
need somebody to experience it with me. I need to
(40:42):
talk about this with somebody. And I was like, please,
don't make please and she's like, we're doing it. Like
we're doing it. So I went over to her house.
You know, I was saying, I just had Ellen and
it was me and Ella, right, so like going out
was like big hassle, and she she totally made it.
She totally let it go and made it that we
weren't going to watch this film and that's not what
(41:02):
we're doing. I get to the house and she starts
putting it on. I was like, are you fu Now,
we're not We're not doing it, We're not stuff. We
watched the whole film. I mean, the cliches are just
off charts, they're just off chat But we just held
laughing and we just paused on every detail everything and
(41:23):
it was just actually the best night ever. I want
to go out and like do I want to go
on a few drinks? I want to do something I
want to meet like some people we sayed it and
watch the film. It was the funniest thing ever. And
we still know to this day. We'll still go, my God,
remember and we will bring we will still bring it up.
Rhyme song just sends us we've been placed before and
(41:45):
we've got up to the DJs. So could you just
just to see the other person? The song?
Speaker 1 (41:53):
What was the song? Come Find the Moonlight?
Speaker 2 (41:55):
Yeah, you contrat So it's yeah, it's just so cliche,
but it's funny, you know what I mean. A tough
girl at the bunch turns up and one of these
stars she's got a mixtape, and.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
That's fine.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
The dad and the dead Mom. It's always a dead mom. Yeah,
always a dead man. Very important. Yeah, I still like it.
I still watch it like well.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
I sometimes I don't know if I've talked about this before.
I was once and I'll never do it again. I
once had to watch a lot of films and for
like a panel, oh yes, yeah, and they were all
really boring, really boring. And then there was one film
that was like made by this guy. I think he
was a finance guy. He'd used his own money. He
(42:46):
was like the star and the writer and it was wild. Yeah,
and it was so wild, and like I think he'd
even hired a sex worker at some point of course
sex scene with him and it was fucking why, like
he was sort of fascinatingly uncharismatic.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
End Oh my god, and like the dialogue was.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
Bad and that everything about it was like sort of
technically bad. But I went back to the panel and
I was like, I'm voting for this film, and everyone
thought I was joking. I said no, I said, I
wasn't bored for a second. This was I was so
locked in to the experience, like has in I think
this is art. I can't explain it. But I said,
(43:31):
all the other films that we've watched that are good
were so boring. I was bored. I couldn't wait for
them to end. I said, this one, I never wanted
it to stop. Like there was something about it was like, yeah,
there was like this is a very unique take on
the world, like as in, I've never seen it. I've
never seen anything like this. It's so original and we
(43:53):
can laugh about how bad it is and stuff, but
like I'm genuinely into it, like I'm watching, Yeah, i'd
watch I want people to see, you know what I mean, Like,
I think this is a good film.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
I think it's so nice, Like the guy what was
the guy who did the movie High Mark Room, Like
that's very good movie. That's it's very entertaining.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
But yeah, it's lasted. There's something in it, and I
do think it's that it's the like uniqueness of vision
where you sort of go, you know, we talk about
good films that unique, but there's at the other end
of the scale. There's this guy making this thing that's
wild and I've never there's something in his brain that's
trying to be expressed. It's the thing that you couldn't
(44:36):
you couldn't do a sketch of it. It's so specific
that I'm like, I think this guy's a genus.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
I think you're still making movies.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
Well, I got voted off the panel, so I didn't
get to give him the award that I thought he
deserved for best time they ever got released. But really
a wonderful thing in Good Luck, Good Look too, what
is the film we most relate to.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
It's a bit of a stretch. Absolute I've never really
looked at movies and go, oh, there's me. There is
one film The Snapper. So The Snapper is based on
a book by Ruddy Doyle and it's set in Dublin
and the story is about a young girl, Sharon, who
gets pregnant. But I've read about those times. So Roddy
Joan had a couple of books that got made into movies.
(45:26):
He had the commitments, he had the van But for
me at the time of those films where like coming
Out was so cool to see an Irish film and
people with like Irish accents, and you know, most of
his stuff is like set in Dublin, so they had
Dublin accents and like they had like the turn of
phrase and stuff like you know what I mean. It
(45:47):
was so interesting to me. And then I would call myself,
I'm as Sharon, like I got pregnant. I pulled the Sharon,
you know. So it's a lovely movie where like there's
loads of cursing in it, which is nice, but you know,
as I had never heard cursing the way I would
curse or my family would curse, you know, like if
(46:08):
you're watching American films like god damn son of a bitch. Well,
but well, I think of cursing. I think of people
using it as punctuation or in a nice way, you know,
Oh you're silly, fucker or whatever like that. It's not
like an aggressive thing. So there's loads of cursing and whatever.
And she has a really sweet relationship with her dad.
There's loads of little attention to detail things where there's
(46:31):
a cyclist is a ken roach who was like big
at the time, and the sow and her brother, Sharon's
brother is like doing laps around the estate and the
dad is timing but he's not timing him, and he's like,
you know, he's pretending that he's timing, but he's getting distracted.
Not just these little sweet details, but there's loads of
comedy in it as well, but there's dark bits in it.
(46:52):
And so yeah, that would be a film that I
would watch and would say least probably once a year.
She's not it's not like that, she's totally me, but
it's just like, you know, oh, they're just I know
the boss.
Speaker 1 (47:06):
You know, that's nice. I like that. I think that's
a perfect answer.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
Yes, okay, yeah, but I've never I don't really I
can't really think of movies that I've seen that I
relate to.
Speaker 3 (47:18):
I think you've done it, You've got it correct.
Speaker 1 (47:22):
Okay, what's the sexiest rill we've ever seen?
Speaker 2 (47:27):
Oh? I know, embarrassed spot, I have to go by
goat and what I felt at the time crew intentions.
I thought was super sexy at the time, nothing wrong
with that, and mad mad about Ryan Philip. I just
thought he was so sexy, just really just I've never
(47:48):
not really until I blant going to the whole thing
into blondes, but any blondes that I've been into, I've
always been like, he's an absolute ride. So yeah, I
think it was just like a lot of attractive people. Yeah,
I still watch it. I was still watching as well.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
You know, yeah, what we've got a sub category here,
traveling down is worrying. Why what's the film you found
arousing that you weren't sure you should?
Speaker 2 (48:11):
Yeah, well it was hard to narrow down. I have
three or three and I can do them quickly. Gene
Hackman and anything. Just shouting and he's far too old
for me, But I just love it. Love. I just
love the idea of him shouting at me. Will you
wanka when he shouts at Charlie? You get nothing? Love
(48:32):
that aggressive again? Then third? What not aggressive? Devin Sawyer
in Casper. He appears in it for like five seconds
at the end. And little Boy then guys, little Boy,
the non coastalttle boy what he actually looks like? And
I kind of embarrassedly another blonde. But I followed Devin
(48:53):
Say for a good while because he did the Final
Destination movies and stuff. Yes, I was kind of hooked
on him for a while. But yeah, Gene Hackman, I'd
say I would put at the top, just something very
sexy about him.
Speaker 1 (49:08):
Why do you like being shouted at? Were not shouting
out enough? Will you shout that too much? No?
Speaker 2 (49:13):
Shout that loads? I think I just like it. There's
a Baratdtery that likes the energy of people being angry. Passionate.
Anger is so close, aren't they.
Speaker 1 (49:24):
Yeah. Also, if you if you conduct most of your
business for a bed, there's a certain laid back vibe
to you that probably needs the gelt of someone shutting you.
Oh you see that?
Speaker 2 (49:34):
Yeah, I feel like I need I need somebody. I'm
look fan. I don't think Gene Hackman, but I need
somebody like that. I need somebody who's liable to expect. Yeah,
just I go off on a runt. Maybe not like
Gene Hackman star because he was probably ranted about stuff
that wasn't important. But I don't mind people losing the
(49:55):
head about a parking situation or something, right, I quite
enjoy that, Like I find quin quite funny if somebody
is getting angry and ranting about a trivial thing, I
quite enjoy that, and it makes me feel excited.
Speaker 1 (50:09):
You know, it's a really interesting someone comes in here,
it's just fucking parking and fucking and I fucking gave
me a ticket. You were like, let's work.
Speaker 2 (50:18):
Yeah? Is that smiling? I was like energy. I just like,
it's a bit of energy, but it's something, you know,
it's a.
Speaker 1 (50:24):
Bit of life in it.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. Maybe what it is is I
starting I wonder if I could distract them out this
bad mood with sex, with sex. Yeah, yeah, maybe that's
what I'm thinking. I don't know, but yeah, Gene happened.
Oh mad about him as a kid, watched so many
movies where had no idea what's going on. I was like,
did they win the case? I don't know. Gene happens,
(50:50):
love love him so sexy?
Speaker 1 (50:53):
Did he did he get addicted to heroin? It doesn't matter, he.
Speaker 2 (50:57):
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter. Yeah, you know, he's one of
the for me. And then I recently saw someone there
was some picture of oh this gene Hacker. Now he's
like one into his eighties, and it was just like
going to shop wearing a cat was a grand Leave
my gene Hack alone.
Speaker 1 (51:13):
You let him shout at me in peace. What's the
objectively the greatest film of all time?
Speaker 2 (51:18):
Oh? Yes, I mean it's just so difficult, isn't it.
I'm going to go with now Voyager.
Speaker 1 (51:27):
Wow, I don't think that's come up respect.
Speaker 2 (51:30):
Okay, yeah, I just feel like it has everything. So
my mom when I was a kid, would that would
have been her like perfect afternoon watching an old movie.
And at a certain point in my life when I'd
walk into the certain you were watching a movie below,
(51:52):
Well that's the day gone, because you know those movies
are on Telly and with the ad breaks, it's six hours,
it's six hours. But then she actually got me to
watch a few of the movies with her and now Voyager,
Oh my god, I was just in an hook line
and Sacre. But she goes on the cruise and she
(52:14):
has the outfits all like laid out with all the
different labels from her friend, just her saying mother. Just
I gets so giddy just hearing that Rebecca with her
and it would be a close second. But yeah, I
think everyone should watch that movie. I'm not a big
movie headed like at all. I don't know anything about films,
(52:36):
but I just think that's a total delight.
Speaker 1 (52:39):
Really good, really good chat. What's the film you could
or have watched the most over and over again.
Speaker 2 (52:45):
I have watched Catch Me If you Can, over and
over and over and over again. I just love it.
Speaker 1 (52:54):
Can I tell you something? That film Catch Me If
you Can, I've only seen once. I found it. It
made me sad for a whole week. That film. I
think it's one of the saddest films I've ever seen.
Really yeah. I was like, it looks like Jaunty and
it's Jaunty Credit Secret and it's and it's like, here's
this fun film. But for me, it was a film
(53:15):
about a guy who's so devastated by his parents' divorce
that he runs away and does all these things, but
the whole time he's just sad about his dad. And
then he never reconnects with his dad, and then his
dad dies it's the saddest story.
Speaker 2 (53:34):
But he's fine after he moves on with his life
and he has a happy life.
Speaker 1 (53:38):
So I say he's then working for the FBI. I
like the whole things, Like I feel like that what
the subtext of the film is terrible father son's story
that never gets resolved, Like all of this is him
acting out because he misses his dad.
Speaker 2 (53:51):
Right, I enjoyed the sadness.
Speaker 1 (53:54):
Yeah, no, so I'm not wrong. Right, it is a
really depressive with the jaunty sad.
Speaker 2 (54:00):
It is really sad. But I feel like I don't know,
there's something about him, Like I totally understand what you're
saying about all that's if there's something about it with
him just being like so lost and everything that I'm
not that I enjoy, but like i feel like I'm
totally there with him and I've done the whole thing
of like I watched all the interviews with the real guy,
(54:22):
and then I know, like it's kind of you know,
a lot of it isn't true and whatever, it's not true.
It's only a film.
Speaker 1 (54:31):
Brush I told you this at the beginning when we
sat down to watch it. Yeah, maybe I think it's
the sort of marketing and presentation of that film. I
guess blindsided me because had I gone in going hey,
you're a boat to watch really heavy.
Speaker 2 (54:52):
The clips of him walking through the airport with their hostess,
and you're.
Speaker 1 (54:56):
Like, this is true sexy scene with Jennifer.
Speaker 2 (55:00):
Yeah. Yeah, I take as well at the appeals because
there is a part of me where I've always had
this little thing where I would love to rub a bank. Yes,
you know, I would love I would love.
Speaker 1 (55:12):
To Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2 (55:13):
I think that's not most people feel that, don't they.
It's not for the money, Well like to have the money,
but it's just for the like adrenaline. Yeah, yeah, I
love this so good?
Speaker 1 (55:24):
What's the listening? Know? What's the worst film we've ever seen?
Speaker 2 (55:28):
Okay, we're still and I wasn't going to say this,
but it's just I'm going to have to follow my
heart dark night. Hate it, hate it?
Speaker 1 (55:38):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (55:39):
Oh, I don't know. People won't like that.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
People are going to like this. What are your reasons?
Speaker 2 (55:44):
I hate it? Because so I have to put in context.
I went to see it. It was actually the first sight
of it opening. I mean, shame with there. I don't
know how we ended up getting tickets. We didn't know
what was going on. We did, and there's people in
the cinema, they were all dressed up. What is this
the nerd fest? What's happening here? And we've got tickets
and people were like, you know, it's this whole experiencing
(56:07):
of people who been hollering and whatever. I thought it
was terrible. I look, I like Batman. Yeah, Michael Keaton
is the best one. I stuck around for George Clooney, Okay,
Michelle fight for his fantastic, beautiful, sexy, amazing, so exciting.
(56:28):
My problem now with Batman is it's boring. Where's the humor?
Where is the humor that we all grew up with?
With Batman? We know jokers fucked in the head, we
know that, Where's where's the joke A part of Joker?
I mean Jim Carrey as Riddler and all that. Like,
I was on board and now it's just gone, it's
(56:50):
gotten stupid. It's annoyed me. Now it's actually annoyed me.
And it's too fucking long. Too long, And the way
people are talking about it, they want to get a grip.
I don't know that. I have no idea that film
as well no, put it in context. What I will
say is where we went to see the movie, we
had just started ish seeing each other, so there may
(57:12):
have been the tension of we want to have sex
after this film? When is this film?
Speaker 1 (57:19):
Right? And it's not a sexy film, no.
Speaker 2 (57:22):
But the kind of like when is this going to
be over? You know? So it's just now and I
know people don't love it whatever, but vision like it.
City Range is another one. I don't know what was
going on there. I left the cinema.
Speaker 1 (57:35):
Did you have a nice time after you left The
Dark Knight?
Speaker 2 (57:38):
Yes? We did. Yeah, I just remember I can even
remember now fidgeting in my seat getting annoyed.
Speaker 1 (57:49):
What is the film you're in? Comedy? You're very funny,
you're a comedian. What's the film that made you laugh
the most?
Speaker 2 (57:55):
Oh? Yeah, so hard? How do you know what? So
many on the list? Well, I'm just gonna go with
the one that I can remember really laughing, like just
really really laughing at It was scary movie. I was
still the clever but just sometimes I feel like with
comedy or funny things, people can get too snobby about it,
(58:18):
you know. I like sometimes this silliness and all that
is exactly like I still talk about, oh, you know,
my strong hand, and I like it just kills me.
It's just kill me. I remember when I watched this,
I just roared, roared ord Ard. But like, I mean,
it's so hard to pick your favorite foody film, but
(58:42):
I feel like it's one of those words. It's not
going to be like on the Tellia Christmas or kind
of pop up. So I haven't seen it recently. Maybe
I could go back and watch it. No good, but
I just remember like screat like just laughing my head
off at that.
Speaker 1 (58:56):
It's funny. Emma Dorian, you have been wonderful. However, when
you were eighty four years old and you went up
the stairs, you had a hair dryer. You'd been using
it downstairs. You wrapped it up. You left it in
the middle of the stairs to remind yourself take that
upstairs when you go up later. You made a cup
of tea. You had the tea, then you walked up
(59:17):
the stairs. You stepped over the hair dryer, just carried on,
went upstairs, and then you went to your bed office.
You haunted it for a bit and then you were like, oh,
I'd like another cup of tea. So you come down
the stairs, you step onto the hair dryer, you fall
to You try and balance yourself, but you fall forwards
and your head goes down the stairs. You break your neck,
(59:41):
but the way you land, it's quite like beautiful. Your
hair sort of cascades over your face. The hair is
actually covering the absolute load of blood that is pouring
out of your skull. But don't worry about that, cause
the hall looks great. And anyway, I'm walking past with
a coffee, you know what I'm like, And I'm like,
oh Jesus over, your hair looks beautiful. And then I'm like, oh,
(01:00:04):
hang on, there's something about the way you're lying doesn't
seem quite right. And I look and there's a pool
of blood is appearing around me. I'm like, oh, I
think she's dead. Actually a fuck. Anyway, I'm trying to
get you in this coffin, but there's more of you
than I was expecting because there's blood is congealed with
the wooden floor, so I'm having to chop up the
floorboards to get you out and have to chop you
(01:00:26):
up into bits, chop me up, chopping, get your stuff
you in this coffin to use my elbows like this,
Oh my god, and stuff you'll in. There's no room
in this coffee there. There's only enough room to slide
the DVD into the side for you to take across
to the other side. What film are you taking to

Speaker 2 (02:31):
I am in Dublin, are you will? Yeah, I'm sitting
in my bed office. Apologies, That's where all my zooms happen.
This is the bed office. Yeah. I couldn't recommend it enough.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
For those of you who may watch this. If I may,
it looks like I'm being haunted.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I just love to do zooms on my bed because
I'm so relaxed. Then, yes, I've got my ah nice, yeah, cozy,
it's got the vibe.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yes, a haunted room. That is that is connected on zoom.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I don't know, apologies, but I feel like it would
be a better podcast for us be in with desks.
Can't be do with desks very restrictive.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Is this where you do all your work in the
in the guystly bed office?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Great, I worry I'd fall asleep if I if I
worked in bed often.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
That's the beauty of it, right, It's the possibility you
could follows. You're looking at it the wrong way. Some jeopardy,
a little sneaky nap. There's nothing better than a nap
in my opinion, and waking up and having no idea
what day, what time it is, where you.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Are lovely, what meeting you're in.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, that's where I get my cakes from these days.
Sneaky up to the now.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Emma, I'm a fan of yours. We've never met before. Yes,
you're basically an influencer. I sort of discovered you on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I was so surprised.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
And you're very funny. You do very funny stand up
and you do it funny sketchco stuff. And you've got
three podcasts on the go or is it that too?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah too, So I have one with Digit Locaine.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yes, that's very funny.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It's called keep It Tight, and yeah with Chast once
a week. We're both comedians, torn around so with swap stories.
And then I have another one with my daughter who
is twenty one.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
How does that work now? I haven't listened to that.
Tell me, yeah, doing anything with your daughter? And has
it changed? Has it changed your relationship doing a public thing.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
We're quite open, but it's probably a cliche thing to say.
I'm surprised at like how much I learn from her,
because you know the way on the podcast, you do
have to keep talking and like she said to me there,
like refly was so funny. She was going out a date,
very straighted with your children, like start dates and stuff,
(04:56):
And a bit of advice for anyone, never asked to
see a picture of the day, because there's no good
way to react to that. As a parent. You can't
say like, oh, well they're really good looking, like it's
just weird. So she's gone on the date and whatever,
and she was getting ready and then she was sitting
on the couch and she wasn't going And I was like,
what about the date. She's like, no, I called her off.
(05:16):
It just didn't something was off. I wasn't, you know,
I wasn't feeling. I was like, but were they not
on their way to the date? Say, I've told them
they're on their way to the date, like you have
to go on the date. And then she said to me,
she's like, I don't owe that person anything. I was like,
so right, yes, they're going, like we're not going in
(05:38):
like do some cheeky just like because yo the word Like.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, I'm like, well you've you probably have to marry them.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
You don't have to meet them. Maybe a bit of it.
She was like, So she was educate me. She's like, no, no,
you don't have to do that. Wow, you've raised the right.
How does she learn this stuff? I don't know. It
wasn't from me.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Has doing it? Were you always very close and talk
all the time or is.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
This like yeah, we were always very close because I
had her when I was eighteen, so I got pregnant
with her basically like I went after like my idea
was to go and discover the world. My parents were
quite strict, so I went up discover the world and
I got as far as Coretent in Wexford and got
pregnant there in about four days. Like the freedom just
blew my mind.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You got pregnant from freedom?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Oh yeah, totally totally. So I went back home and
I was doing like my final year in school, so
I was like the pregnant girl Emma. And then twelve
years later my daughter went to the same school and
it was all the same teachers.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
So she kind of even before that though, but she
knew the whole story, you know, like it's like in
an age appropriate way. So it was always really open
with her. And then even as she was a teenager,
I would always be saying to her like if a
near friends get into trouble, like bring me, and you know,
I was kind of waiting for it to be like,
you know, skins or but it wasn't. None of them
(07:04):
drink or spoke, and they're all very sensible or whatever.
So yeah, we've always been close, but she's very like,
she's very sensible. My brother's theory is that she's rebelling
against me. She's doing a PhD at the moment. What
so yeah, I know, yeah, she's a PhD. So she
did a degree in psychology and now she's off doing that.
(07:25):
So we're very different.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Great, maybe he made the savior of the world.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I don't know that there's two negatives to make a
positive or something. Just some sort of something happened chemically.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Can ask a question really personal and maybe inappropriate, is
the father involve? Was the father?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Vove? Yes? The father? Basically like that was just like
a dalliance, a somewhat romance. Now, we did keep in
touch after the fact because I was going to go
visit him and he then had gone to college and
I was on the phone ho and he was like,
when you come to visit or whatever, and I said
to him, I'm pregnant. Actually, it's so funny. Chris Rock
(08:06):
has it in one of his shows. I don't know
which one it is, but like if a woman says
too that she's pregnant, and then your response is, what
are you going to do? So I just don't lie
because that's what he said to me. So now he's
a lovely man or whatever. So it was kind of
like ropy for a few years, but it's all good.
(08:27):
Now everyone is in touch. He is married, he has
his own family. I've met them all. They're all gorgeous.
His wife is a lovely woman. We were all at
the twenty first Yeah, so it's really nice. But if
you'd asked me twenty one years ago, I probably will,
like Fock's sake, given it about him, you know what
I mean, well for him, but no, it just took
(08:49):
it stuck a little bit of time. But it's all.
It's all good.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Thank you for ye.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
All right, you need see this when you have a kid,
yr you actually need a script because everyone's always so
curious and everyone wants to know because people think of
that time that they dodged the bullet themselves, or you
know what I mean. Or you're like, oh, my sister
had a kid when she was sixty or my friend
or you know, everyone could Everyone has thought about it.
(09:15):
Anyone who has ever had any sort of sexual contact
with another person always thinks about what would have happened. Yes,
if that would have resulted in a baby?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Fuck, it's perfectly normal to ask the questions. I've been
asked them all.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
And when did you start comedy?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I started comedy at twenty nine, so I thought I
was very old because I already had like a ten
year old. Yes, you gentlemen, So I did think quite Oh,
but what had happened was I was on I met
my partner, Shane Ande with now and we got together.
That was all happy and clovely and whatever. And then
(09:53):
I had my son, Joe, and I was on maternity leave,
and I suddenly kind of thought to myself, always wanted
to do something like comedy or creative or like my
thing was. I always wanted to, like secretly, like you
would never tell anyone, but I wanted to act. And then, obviously,
you know, I went home and told my family I
was pregnant. I wasn't going to say and I'm going
(10:14):
to be an actor as well, like that would just
be a bit too much. Get a grip. So when
did like sensible at min jobs, you know, annoying jobs.
But then I was like god, I was like ten years,
it's gone so fast, and I haven't really I don't
like little things, but nothing really like really putting myself
out there because I'd be too embarrassed, like god, Scarlett.
So when I was at maternity leave, I did some
(10:36):
sketches with friends and that like got a good response
from people. I got like a Telly audition and stuff
as well, and I was like, oh, it just so easy.
I couldn't film it because I'd hear my pregnancy in
the audition. I know, so bad so Irish.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Just carrying boxes in front of you.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah, I just were really floating clothes and kind of
arched my work and I got it. But then they
were filming on my due dates, so that all went whatever.
But that kind of gave me a bit of confidence
and I said, you know what, maybe I'm going to
do the stand up. So then when Joe, I think
was six weeks old, I said to Shane, I was like,
I'm going to go and do stand up comedy and
(11:18):
he was like, you're having a breakdown. This is obviously
like some post natal depression thing or something, and he
was like, okay. I went and did it, did the
first one and it was in a place in Dublin
called Battle of the Axe. I thought it would be like,
do you know, like in eight Mile when M and
M Yes, you know and it's like yeah. I thought
(11:40):
that because it was Battle of the Axe. I thought
it would be real serious and all the graphics on
the Crappy website were all real like grungey or something.
And I went to it. It was totally fine. It
was very relaxed. I was like, oh, this is actually
I just my idea of stand up comedy at that
time was just that it would be really rowdy. Obviously
sometimes it can't be. Ready would like most of the
(12:00):
time it's not. And I went and did that anyway,
and then they do a little competition and I won
the competition. I was like, oh great. I was like,
so I just yeah, I've been totally addicted, totally addicted,
and that was my obsession and still is obsessed to
go over my life.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
That's really cool. And the tour you're doing at the
moment is this how many tours of you?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
This is only my second like proper tour like I've
done a few shows, but I was always afraid of
like people not coming. I don't really like that, and
so I did a few like small shows. So I'd
say this is show number five, but like only the
second one of like touring around and how.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Do you like the touring part of it?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I love it. I do because I've done absolutely forgot
like in terms of travel, like I've been nowhere. I've
just been having kids, so be senseil. So now my
youngest is nine, so I feel like I'm at a
good point where I can kind of, you know, leave
a little bit and come back, you know, for a
few days. Like so yeah, it's really I love being
(13:05):
like on my own and meeting people. And it is
a little bit We're get a little bit tired, that's
the thing. But I've got this morning. I was like,
I booked this really early flight, not really only, but
I was like a seven something, and I think, oh,
that's so clever of me. And then when I went
to leave the hotel, I was like, it's the middle
of the night. What are you doing? Because I tried
(13:27):
to get when I'm out on my own, I tried
to give this impression that I'm a man like I
put my hood up and try and give off a vibe, right,
you know, but then I think, right, I better get
an uber because of oh, such sheap skate. I'm constantly
I was staying in the crap is places. I just
I love being cheap, and I vape as well. Apologies
by vape, so that gives off a goodbye because the
(13:49):
vape is oh yeah, I do have the fape.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Okay, yeah, it's you're not.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Mess like that's three kilos and men. So but yeah,
I just light. People are coming and people there, and
people are so like it's a lot for people to
organize to go to shows, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, you got to me like I do really know
what you mean. I find it really like I've talked
about this before, but I sort of find it genuinely
moving the people to get baby oh big.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Sore because I'm like the person who I will see
things for sale or whatever, and I'm like, oh, that's great,
But I don't actually make the whole the follow through
of like, yeah, oh yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Interesting meeting your friends somewhere where we meeting for a drink, you.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Know that getting food? What time can you come.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Up do you know how long it is? Because I've
got a thing tomorrow. You know all that.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yeah, I actually do that. Now. I go straight out
and I just say, okay, so this part is going
to be twenty minutes. Then we're gonna have a break.
We're gonna so people know, because people want to know,
people have lies, you know, it needs.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
To be completely I think the same with films. I'm like,
I have to know what I'm looking at it, and
you have to say, if this is a three hour film,
that's fine, but I have to know that so I'm
emotionally prepared. If it's ninety minutes, great, I just don't
want to three hours. It feels endless. What's happened?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Three hours? It's not ready. I could do three hours now.
I need I need to know. I need to know fixtures.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Emma Duran. Yes, I've forgotten to tell you something. I
should have. Fuck, I should have actually said this earlier,
maybe when we texted. I probably should have told you.
But it's only just sort of come back to me.
I think I'm you know, it's listen, it's it's early,
and so forgive me, but I'll just I'll just tell you.
I guess I guess, well, I guess you've died. You're dead. Yeah, yeah,
(15:52):
that's why you I'm ghosty.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I'm so obvious.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah that's why I was like that. I forgot that
when I'm literally looking at you, guys, how did you die?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I die? I'll tell you how I died. I fell
down the stairs. I fell on the stairs, and in
a cruel twist, I fell on something of my own,
Brabbie cairdire, wrapped up on the put on the stairs
to be brought back upstairs. And it was real, one
of those false but I looked nice on the ground.
(16:28):
I was not really shaped, you know what? What had
killed you? Like you break your neck, but in a
in a really sexy way, yeah, one of sex. You're
just like nice, Like the hair was kind of covering it.
And people thought I was messing. We're having a joke
and she's actually dead.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Does it please you for a minute they thought you
were joking.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Yeah, go out and the joke. Yeah, it's kind of nice,
And I want I'd like the idea of people kind
of telling other people say, we thought we actually thought
she was joking. Thought she was joking, so her all over.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Find the way she went it was funny, like it
seemed like planned because she said she'd also put the
head right there herself, so we just thought the whole
thing was a setup.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I'm constantly falling down the stairs though, constantly. Yeah, I
love to like I love getting jobs in the house, doe.
So if I'm bringing laundry downstairs, I don't want to
make the two trips. I'm gone for the big one. Yes,
wearing slippers with no backs, constantly, constantly for myself.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
How old do you want to be when you die?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Oh? I mean how greedy can you be? Can you
say nineties? I mean, I don't know. I think I'm
going to have an accent or something. But maybe eighty
eight eighty eight? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Okay, yeah, why yeah, eight seems reasonable? Okay, maybe eighty
four eighty four? Yeah, I just I'm not giving enough
to vape. I'll just be honest about that.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
So, yeah, that's keeping my muscle density up, lifting it
up to my mouth the whole time.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
You've got one very strong arm and one very weak one,
because you don't know today. Yeah, okay, so you're eighty
eight and you're dead, do you worry about death?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
No? I don't really. I was brought to a lot
of funerals and wakes as a child, Like my dad
would have brought me to lots of funerals, and I
was trained at a very young age to I go
up to the person and say sorry for your loss,
which is I was like, no, I can't. He kind
(18:44):
of trained me so we would come from like a
big well, it's kind of an Irish thing, just being
big on wakes and funerals and stuff like that and
this when you're dead, there's nothing you can do about it.
It's all the I'm more concerned about other people dying
than me dying.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
It does seem in and forgive me if this is wrong,
from what you're saying, I've heard this foot it does
seem that in Ireland, compared to England, death is much
more open, as in like come and see this body,
come and have a party around the body.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Yeah, eat sandwiches over the body.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Yeah. Does that? Do you actually think that? Because I
think death is too secretive in English culture, like it's
a bit like I don't know know what to do
with it. And when I hear about Ireland sometimes I think, also,
wonder does it genuinely help you? You're you're not scared
of death, right, is it? Because you've been around loads
of dead bodies having sandwiches?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I think so. Yeah. Read Shane's dad, dad my sword,
like this is a go a few years ago. But
obviously he obviously like four, he had never seen a
dead body, but he Oh my god, So his dad
is like in the sitting room, in the coffin, laid out.
I wonder how he's going to react, and I got
(19:58):
he played an absolutely blinder going up to him in
the caffe and he was blowing kisses, he was checking
on him. He was all fake, all fake for the attention.
He was like, he's not baptized, and people are like,
oh my god, he knows, you know, if he's been
here before. He was getting money from people. It was
a total performance art piece. So I don't even know
(20:20):
if you're represently all of I'd say most people in
my family who have died. Yeah, I saw them in
coffins in the house.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Like and can I ask you have a very well
serious question. Yes, having seen lots of people you love
as bodies in the house, when you look at them,
do you think, oh, they're gone? Like as in is it?
How do you feel so spiritually about these.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, it is actually it does actually show that the
person is gone, because I mean they've done the whole
embalming thing to them and all that jazz. Yeah, you
do actually know that they're gone. But then I have
done the whole thing of like I would say like
goodbye to them or whatever are going and have a
little chat with them. I kind of like, we'll not
(21:08):
like that, but you know what I mean. But yeah,
and then like some others, you would see where the
dead person looks totally mad. You kind of have to
say to people on the slide, what do they do
to her face? They have to put mad makeup on
it that she's never wear like this. They're like, Krannie's
looking real glad. What's that why she got lashes on?
(21:34):
So yeah, maybe i'd say my because my dad was
so into funerals. We were like you to like you
should get a blog or someth because he would come
back and he would review the funeral for us, like
there's different points that are you know, good, bad or whatever.
So a good eulogy is very important, and you have
to have humor in the eulogy as well. Yeah, you
(21:56):
know you can't just be it's nice touch. This is
it's a nice touch. If there is a young member
of the family crying, that's quite good, but nobody wailing.
We don't want anyone wailing. We want a little bit
of like emotion, but not not like banging on the
coffin kind of like mad stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Does he do a point system for the food for
the sandwiches?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, yeah, point system for the food. You know, it's
kind of two soup and sandwiches, so it's very basic stuff.
So he's kind of if they're getting that wrong, he's annoyed.
And then turn out would be very important, like a
massive turnout. And who's carrying the coffin as well? Also
we want to know because there will be things like, no,
the eldest son wasn't carrying the coffin, what was going
(22:36):
on there? Gossipy drama as well, like it's got everything.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I'd like your dad to do that blog like YouTube, youtubeanu, way,
it just does I'm here, here's the spread.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Look at these sandwiches and the rosery beats and stuff
like that. Yeah, but he talks about his own funeral constantly,
and sometimes we would say Tom if he's annoying it.
We would say you better shut your face because we're
judge your funeral if you don't pipe down like he
hates you know, the flowers with the like dad, Yes,
(23:14):
he hates them, right, and we're like, we'll get them.
You don't shut your face. Piped out fucking Dad Bouquet. Yeah,
oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a threat.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
What do you think happens when you die? Do you
think there's enough to learn?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Oh? I do think probably nothing. I wish, I know,
I wish I could believe in Look parts we do believe,
and I do talk to dead people that I know
and all that stuff, but I kind of feel like, oh,
nothing happens. But I do believe that whether you're cremated
or whatever, I do believe that it is good to
go back into the ground in some way and feed
into the earth, and kind of I do believe in that.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
For whatever reason, did you just say I do talk
to dead people. I don't know, but I do know that.
I was like, that's a big it's a big reveal.
I don't believe his stuff, but I do talk to
loads of dead strangers who visit me in this scary room.
It seems like you're quite connected. Yeah, I mean I
see dead people, but I'm not like into.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
No, I don't mean pig long chats like. I just
mean little like if I see things like you love that,
but I'm not. I'm not saying it out loud. I'm
not saying on the out loud like soietly to yourself.
It's not loud.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
My head were staring at someone I see.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I think it's so hard because I know, well, not
that I know, I don't know, but I don't think
it is real. At the same time, as a kid,
they told me by myself, I set up an altar
in my room. My mother, who's didn't very unusual at
the time in our generation, but she didn't go to
mass so she was just like, what is this kid doing,
(24:59):
Like she's building an l in the room. I just
I kind of. I love the idea of it all.
I think it is lovely. Yeah, it's a good story, Bush.
I know my heart of hers is probably not real.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Well listen, am dooran. Yeah you're wrong. It is real.
You have been talking to dead people and there is
a heaven. Okay, Yeah, and they're very excited to see you.
Welcome there. You made it, and it's filled with your
favorite thing. What's your favorite thing?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Like I say, my electric blanket?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Okay, do you know what? It's pretty great because the
ground you can walk around it barefoot and it's like
electric blankets your fear always warm and cozy. Yeah, And
there's like sofas and bed offices and everything is everything's
made of electric blankets, everything you touches, So it's pretty great.
(25:53):
And you can roll around, you know what I mean,
Like it's always like a trampoline park, but filled with
electric blanket love her. Yeah, pretty great. And it's so
warm there though sometimes you're like turn it down a bit,
you know, I loah, and you're chatting away to dead
people as usual, and they're all they're all very excited
to see you lovely, yeah, and they want to talk
(26:15):
to you about your life, but they want to talk
about your life through the medium of film. What's the
first film that you remember seeing.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
The first film I remember seeing is All Dogs Go
to Heaven.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Wow done Blue.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Yes, I think I must have been like six. I
don't see the films before. This is my first. I'm
pretty sure it was my first time ever going to
cinema where with my cousin were sitting in the back
of the car. She got sick down or bus. It
was only twenty months away from the house. I was, so,
she has wrecked the vibe, you know. But I don't
(26:50):
know if she did, but I know. I got at
the cinema. The used to have the boxes of sweets,
I think like fruit gones and pastures and little boxes.
Opened the box it was in like a little brown bag,
and I was like, Wow, this is so sophisticated. I
didn't particularly like. I wasn't totally gone on the movie.
It wasn't like a case off. I went to see
(27:10):
this movie and I was now obsessed with the dog
and it wasn't that cute. Well he's like a gangster,
isn't it. It's yeah, but I think I got better
with making the animals cute and animation. It wasn't that cute.
And I think he was dead or something. Actually, I
think he was deafinitly came back to life. Yeah, I
think he gets killed. Like it's like a sort of
gangster story, like he's been yeah something, yeah something fact
(27:34):
to do something ourselves something or whatever. But yes, it
wasn't really the film. I was kind of in my
own head as a kid, probably like six out of ten.
But it was the whole experience of going to the
cinema that I love.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Like your dad at a funeral, it's not very cute,
it's but you know, but I.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Did like yeah, and you see, I was a bit
scared of dogs. I wasn't a now two dogs, but
I wasn't a dog person because our neighbor had a
dog who was like an Alsatian and a't somebody's hat
and was totally this hyper dog. So it's, oh, it
was really sketch about dogs.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
You know. I had a rabbish, so I think the
dog is an alsation, you know.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah, yeah, maybe there's some sort of trauma there in
the background. But yeah, it was very I remember it
was very exciting, even the puke, and like in fairness,
the puke kind of hyped up the drama a little,
you know, a puke of the cares high stakes.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah, that certainly brought something to it, didn't it.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. So I had no idea who
I had no idea who Burt Reynolds was, so it
kind of meant nothing to me. I wish i'd known
at the time. I wouldn't. I wouldn't have appreciated it.
As six yearld I wouldn't have appreciated Burt Reynolds. But
maybe as a woman, I would have been.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Like, as a scary dog, i'd put you off.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, or but I don't know, like, had they really used,
you know, already established actors as voiceovers.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
No, it wasn't a regular occurrence. Yeah, that's the real thing.
It might have been one of the first occasions of
a movie started doing yeah, doing their voice Interesting. What
is the film that scared you the most? And do
you like being scared?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Oh? Big scared? And I remembers so vividly the film
that scared me the most was Witches Grow Dout. Yeah, right,
So I went to a friend's house for her birthday.
My dad dropped me, but dad was always late, and
this house was like, honestly, got like ten minutes in
(29:31):
care we're late, We're like twenty minutes late, and people saying, no,
we didn't think you were coming, all this usual thing.
So it's kind of like they're waiting for me to
start the film. And I kind of heard about the
film through the grapevine, and I gave the speech beforehand.
I give the speech. I say to everyone, guys, just
remember it's just a film. Was the most scared. The
(29:57):
most scared the bit at the when witches are having
the meetings and they kind of let off the wigs
and everything. Yeah, I was just like fuck because I
believed in all that ship. When I was a kid,
I believed in fairies. I wrote letters to the fairies.
I had like back and forth letters with the fairies.
My imagination was a fairies replied, the fairies replied, yeah,
(30:21):
and little tiny handwriting and little tiny letters, so they're real. Yeah,
obviously they're real. But we had all correspondence. Then WILLIAMT
what were you chatting about? That's their bread and butter.
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Did you ask what they're doing with the teeth houses?
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yeah yeah. The building has just kind of fairy stuff.
And then they came and visited me one night. I
was in my bedroom and I had the light on
and the curtains open, and they came and visited me.
Now skeptics would say they were mouths, but I know
they were fairies.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Listen to muffs leave and now they left.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I can't sleep more trying to keep up with the
letters from them up they'd have to. They had like
tiny little envelopes. Yeah, and the page would be covered
in highlighters kind of we kind of like the highlighters
my dad had. It would be like govern highlighters and
lovely little writing or whatever. So witches. To me, that
was just like, yeah, bring it on. And I totally,
(31:22):
I totally believed it. And I think Angelica Houston as
a witch unbelievable casting. I was just in that completely
and I was so scared, but I was so adamant
about I was scared, and I was kind of checking
in on other people scarier.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Okay, it's just remember what I said at the beginning,
Remember when I intried this film, it's just a film? Yeah, yeah,
is it?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Let me quickly, Yeah right.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
I loved to the pherries and see what they think
keep the witches away. But I don't remember anything else
about the party. I just remember that as been like
a very intense experience. I just remember the birthday girl.
I don't remember any of the other people, but yeah,
proper like ship.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Now about what about what's the film that made you cry?
Speaker 2 (32:11):
The nice, easy easy filmina? Fuck, I'm talking about cry.
I'm talking like ball ball sometimes I'll even watch that
when I feel like I need to cry, like I
need to get it out of me. It's like, obviously
a true story that's not even important because everyone in Ireland,
(32:31):
take her, knows that story of women having to being
forced to like you know, give up their children and
their babies being adopted by rich Americans. But I think
Judy Dench as that character of that is a very
particular Irish woman and it's shown so well in the
film where the character of Martin at certain points early
(32:53):
on he thinks that she's like a little bit silly
or a bit like dim and how she's said to everyone, oh,
you're one in a million around and he's like, yeah, slagger,
like how can everyone be one in a million or whatever?
But then when she says truim about he's kind of
been a bit of a stand office with the staff
at the hotel, and she says to oh, you should
(33:14):
be nice to the people you know, because you never
know who you'll meet on the way back down. You
all people should know that, Martin, and you can see
he really goes and oh yeah, but so like she's
a bit like scatty and whatever, but she's actually got
all this great wisdom and just that the whole thing
will be like very kind of scatty, and she's what
time is, where am I going? And what did I
come in here for? And what's going on? I don't know,
(33:36):
you know, I couldn't be possibly doing that. But then
on the other side of it, being very smart and
I don't know, just haven't like a kind of a
quiet compassion for other humans that they like don't shout
about like, but they display through her everyday life, just
in simple small ways. Is like I have met that
(33:56):
woman so many times, and just the way that she
play that is so nice. But then the scene when
she thinks back of when her son was taken from
her ball ball bat ball, Oh yeah really, I yeah,
that's my cry film.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I think that's a great answer, And that's reminded me
of what I wanted to ask you earlier. Do you
think you will do a podcast with your son when
he's older? Is he jealous of you doing a podcast with.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
No, they don't, they don't care. They've been honest. Sometimes
I get the bit they're wandering around and they have
the little bits of videos and stuff like that. But
I'll only just judge up by them. You know, sometimes
you can see it in them. Although Ella would never
I don't need to be a performer, but she likes
to do, you know, like some people are normal. I
(34:46):
can just have things as hobbies and other people have
to take it to the extreme, people to normal people
that just have hobbies and stuff. Whatever.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
What's the film that you have? It is not critically
but you.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Oh yeah, I know, Mystic Pizza. It's such a shit film.
It's so shit, it's so good. So Julia Roberts is
going out with a posh lad and that's a big
to do. Then Julia Roberts's sister is having an affect.
She's a babysitter. She's the goody two shoes, she's saving
money for college or some shy and she's babysit for
(35:23):
this guy. She's having an affair with him, full of
don't worry. His wife is she's off doing something. And
then their friend there's this big to do about. She
doesn't want to get married, so she runs off the
wedding and then they stay together, but he's like, oh,
you just want to have sex, you don't want to
marry me. All this it's total nonsense. And then in
the end, the pizza place that they all work in
(35:45):
gets reviewed by this big que reviewer and it's a
big deal. And somebody rings the pizza ea and goes,
can I make a reservation? And they're like reservation whatever. Oh,
and Julia Robbers characters meant to be like the bad girl.
Her mother says, he why can't you be more like
your sister? I love like she's the backer. She's having
(36:05):
the odd smoke and she's walking around with a four
pack of cans, you know, like the little American cans.
She seems pretty chill to me, like she's not doing
it too crazy.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah you know what I mean, I do. That's how
you portrayed bad in the eighties. Yeah, yeah, a cigarette
and it just would have the married, mad life. Yeah,
she seems to one more troubled.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Yeah, Jenny Rabbit's got two jobs on the guy as well.
I'm pretty sure she's working in the Ycht club and
she's working place.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
She's got great she's the best girls.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
But I love her. If I if that comes out
or I see it somewhere, I just kind of do
it like a little giggle to myself. I go here,
we go comes and he takes I think he takes
like a tiny bite of the pizza. I'm kind of
(37:03):
so good. It gives off that kind of thing. It
was written in an afternoon, you know what I mean.
But it's fine, it's fine.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
What is a film that you used to love but
you've watched it recently and you've got I don't like
this anymore?
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Mermaids?
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Hey, how dare you? I loves recently?
Speaker 2 (37:29):
I love. I think I was really sold on the
casting and the style of it and everything and all
shares outfits fantastic and Bob Hoskins and beautiful, beautiful and
beautiful love Christina Richie obviously, I feel like I've watched
her and I think maybe the same age. Anyway, So Christmas,
(37:49):
we're all watching movies, and we're all picking movies to
watch to show the other people, and I picked Mermaids.
I'm watching it and shoop shooping on the couch.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Do you intro it to everyone? Did you into it? Like,
just to be clear, this is a movie? Panic?
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Yeah? I was like, this is good. Yeah, don't be scared. Yeah,
actually should because that's what happened was we watch it
and my daughters like Winona Ryder is having relations with
a man who is well into his twenties. I'm like, okay,
I forgot about this bit. And then there's a bit
where after she's done that, she's had now ride up
(38:26):
in the belt of the church with this man. She
goes scoop and she goes drinking and her sister nearly
drowns in the lake and shares off on a date
or something. So and she's like, God, this is really
depressing or whatever. I was like, God, kind it is.
I thought my memory of it was it was a
fun movie.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Yeah, it's just isn't it.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah. Yeah, so that was a total disaster. I was like,
oh God, And yeah, there's a lot of there's a
lot of filler. Christina Ritchie is doing the whole thing
where she's trying to get the record for holding her
breath underwater, and chairs just kind of waltzing around the
gas going I'm going out. Okay.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
We were thinking of the music video to me mates,
that's what we were thinking.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Yeah, and I thought it was quite cute. Chair and
Bob pasking together and you know, it's cute and it's
nice whatever, but like, yeah, but not a writer, like
and her mom totally gives out as well. Her mom's
just calling her slot and also, I mean, come on,
and Chare is someone that has kept having to move
down because all these boyfriends, you know what I mean,
(39:36):
go out of the mouth. But yeah, it wasn't good.
I have to I think I have to watch on
my own, you know what I mean, and just double check.
But Shane and Ellen was just like, this is a
load of bollocks. This is good.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Sorry, that's horrible. That's a horrible feeling when you're trying
to film somewhere and you're like, oh.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Yeah, yeah I was.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Don't you feel like you made it? Don't you feel Yeah?
Speaker 2 (39:58):
And they didn't. They didn't know it at all, you
know what I mean. I was like, I don't have mermaids,
you know, I did that whole thing. And I can't
remember what their movies were, but they're all good, you know,
they're all good. Of course I whack this one. Else.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
What's the film that means the mice to you? Not
because the film itself is any good necessarily, yea, the
experience you had watching it makes it special to you.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Yes, I think that coyote ugly go on. So my
friend Laura had seen it and she had said to me,
She's like, you have to watch this film with me.
She was like it's so bad. And I was like,
but you've seen it and she's like, no, but I
need somebody to experience it with me. I need to
(40:42):
talk about this with somebody. And I was like, please,
don't make please and she's like, we're doing it. Like
we're doing it. So I went over to her house.
You know, I was saying, I just had Ellen and
it was me and Ella, right, so like going out
was like big hassle, and she she totally made it.
She totally let it go and made it that we
weren't going to watch this film and that's not what
(41:02):
we're doing. I get to the house and she starts
putting it on. I was like, are you fu Now,
we're not We're not doing it, We're not stuff. We
watched the whole film. I mean, the cliches are just
off charts, they're just off chat But we just held
laughing and we just paused on every detail everything and
(41:23):
it was just actually the best night ever. I want
to go out and like do I want to go
on a few drinks? I want to do something I
want to meet like some people we sayed it and
watch the film. It was the funniest thing ever. And
we still know to this day. We'll still go, my God,
remember and we will bring we will still bring it up.
Rhyme song just sends us we've been placed before and
(41:45):
we've got up to the DJs. So could you just
just to see the other person? The song?
Speaker 1 (41:53):
What was the song? Come Find the Moonlight?
Speaker 2 (41:55):
Yeah, you contrat So it's yeah, it's just so cliche,
but it's funny, you know what I mean. A tough
girl at the bunch turns up and one of these
stars she's got a mixtape, and.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
That's fine.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
The dad and the dead Mom. It's always a dead mom. Yeah,
always a dead man. Very important. Yeah, I still like it.
I still watch it like well.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
I sometimes I don't know if I've talked about this before.
I was once and I'll never do it again. I
once had to watch a lot of films and for
like a panel, oh yes, yeah, and they were all
really boring, really boring. And then there was one film
that was like made by this guy. I think he
was a finance guy. He'd used his own money. He
(42:46):
was like the star and the writer and it was wild. Yeah,
and it was so wild, and like I think he'd
even hired a sex worker at some point of course
sex scene with him and it was fucking why, like
he was sort of fascinatingly uncharismatic.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
End Oh my god, and like the dialogue was.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
Bad and that everything about it was like sort of
technically bad. But I went back to the panel and
I was like, I'm voting for this film, and everyone
thought I was joking. I said no, I said, I
wasn't bored for a second. This was I was so
locked in to the experience, like has in I think
this is art. I can't explain it. But I said,
(43:31):
all the other films that we've watched that are good
were so boring. I was bored. I couldn't wait for
them to end. I said, this one, I never wanted
it to stop. Like there was something about it was like, yeah,
there was like this is a very unique take on
the world, like as in, I've never seen it. I've
never seen anything like this. It's so original and we
(43:53):
can laugh about how bad it is and stuff, but
like I'm genuinely into it, like I'm watching, Yeah, i'd
watch I want people to see, you know what I mean, Like,
I think this is a good film.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
I think it's so nice, Like the guy what was
the guy who did the movie High Mark Room, Like
that's very good movie. That's it's very entertaining.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
But yeah, it's lasted. There's something in it, and I
do think it's that it's the like uniqueness of vision
where you sort of go, you know, we talk about
good films that unique, but there's at the other end
of the scale. There's this guy making this thing that's
wild and I've never there's something in his brain that's
trying to be expressed. It's the thing that you couldn't
(44:36):
you couldn't do a sketch of it. It's so specific
that I'm like, I think this guy's a genus.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
I think you're still making movies.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
Well, I got voted off the panel, so I didn't
get to give him the award that I thought he
deserved for best time they ever got released. But really
a wonderful thing in Good Luck, Good Look too, what
is the film we most relate to.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
It's a bit of a stretch. Absolute I've never really
looked at movies and go, oh, there's me. There is
one film The Snapper. So The Snapper is based on
a book by Ruddy Doyle and it's set in Dublin
and the story is about a young girl, Sharon, who
gets pregnant. But I've read about those times. So Roddy
Joan had a couple of books that got made into movies.
(45:26):
He had the commitments, he had the van But for
me at the time of those films where like coming
Out was so cool to see an Irish film and
people with like Irish accents, and you know, most of
his stuff is like set in Dublin, so they had
Dublin accents and like they had like the turn of
phrase and stuff like you know what I mean. It
(45:47):
was so interesting to me. And then I would call myself,
I'm as Sharon, like I got pregnant. I pulled the Sharon,
you know. So it's a lovely movie where like there's
loads of cursing in it, which is nice, but you know,
as I had never heard cursing the way I would
curse or my family would curse, you know, like if
(46:08):
you're watching American films like god damn son of a bitch. Well,
but well, I think of cursing. I think of people
using it as punctuation or in a nice way, you know,
Oh you're silly, fucker or whatever like that. It's not
like an aggressive thing. So there's loads of cursing and whatever.
And she has a really sweet relationship with her dad.
There's loads of little attention to detail things where there's
(46:31):
a cyclist is a ken roach who was like big
at the time, and the sow and her brother, Sharon's
brother is like doing laps around the estate and the
dad is timing but he's not timing him, and he's like,
you know, he's pretending that he's timing, but he's getting distracted.
Not just these little sweet details, but there's loads of
comedy in it as well, but there's dark bits in it.
(46:52):
And so yeah, that would be a film that I
would watch and would say least probably once a year.
She's not it's not like that, she's totally me, but
it's just like, you know, oh, they're just I know
the boss.
Speaker 1 (47:06):
You know, that's nice. I like that. I think that's
a perfect answer.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
Yes, okay, yeah, but I've never I don't really I
can't really think of movies that I've seen that I
relate to.
Speaker 3 (47:18):
I think you've done it, You've got it correct.
Speaker 1 (47:22):
Okay, what's the sexiest rill we've ever seen?
Speaker 2 (47:27):
Oh? I know, embarrassed spot, I have to go by
goat and what I felt at the time crew intentions.
I thought was super sexy at the time, nothing wrong
with that, and mad mad about Ryan Philip. I just
thought he was so sexy, just really just I've never
(47:48):
not really until I blant going to the whole thing
into blondes, but any blondes that I've been into, I've
always been like, he's an absolute ride. So yeah, I
think it was just like a lot of attractive people. Yeah,
I still watch it. I was still watching as well.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
You know, yeah, what we've got a sub category here,
traveling down is worrying. Why what's the film you found
arousing that you weren't sure you should?
Speaker 2 (48:11):
Yeah, well it was hard to narrow down. I have
three or three and I can do them quickly. Gene
Hackman and anything. Just shouting and he's far too old
for me, But I just love it. Love. I just
love the idea of him shouting at me. Will you
wanka when he shouts at Charlie? You get nothing? Love
(48:32):
that aggressive again? Then third? What not aggressive? Devin Sawyer
in Casper. He appears in it for like five seconds
at the end. And little Boy then guys, little Boy,
the non coastalttle boy what he actually looks like? And
I kind of embarrassedly another blonde. But I followed Devin
(48:53):
Say for a good while because he did the Final
Destination movies and stuff. Yes, I was kind of hooked
on him for a while. But yeah, Gene Hackman, I'd
say I would put at the top, just something very
sexy about him.
Speaker 1 (49:08):
Why do you like being shouted at? Were not shouting
out enough? Will you shout that too much? No?
Speaker 2 (49:13):
Shout that loads? I think I just like it. There's
a Baratdtery that likes the energy of people being angry. Passionate.
Anger is so close, aren't they.
Speaker 1 (49:24):
Yeah. Also, if you if you conduct most of your
business for a bed, there's a certain laid back vibe
to you that probably needs the gelt of someone shutting you.
Oh you see that?
Speaker 2 (49:34):
Yeah, I feel like I need I need somebody. I'm
look fan. I don't think Gene Hackman, but I need
somebody like that. I need somebody who's liable to expect. Yeah,
just I go off on a runt. Maybe not like
Gene Hackman star because he was probably ranted about stuff
that wasn't important. But I don't mind people losing the
(49:55):
head about a parking situation or something, right, I quite
enjoy that, Like I find quin quite funny if somebody
is getting angry and ranting about a trivial thing, I
quite enjoy that, and it makes me feel excited.
Speaker 1 (50:09):
You know, it's a really interesting someone comes in here,
it's just fucking parking and fucking and I fucking gave
me a ticket. You were like, let's work.
Speaker 2 (50:18):
Yeah? Is that smiling? I was like energy. I just like,
it's a bit of energy, but it's something, you know,
it's a.
Speaker 1 (50:24):
Bit of life in it.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. Maybe what it is is I
starting I wonder if I could distract them out this
bad mood with sex, with sex. Yeah, yeah, maybe that's
what I'm thinking. I don't know, but yeah, Gene happened.
Oh mad about him as a kid, watched so many
movies where had no idea what's going on. I was like,
did they win the case? I don't know. Gene happens,
(50:50):
love love him so sexy?
Speaker 1 (50:53):
Did he did he get addicted to heroin? It doesn't matter, he.
Speaker 2 (50:57):
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter. Yeah, you know, he's one of
the for me. And then I recently saw someone there
was some picture of oh this gene Hacker. Now he's
like one into his eighties, and it was just like
going to shop wearing a cat was a grand Leave
my gene Hack alone.
Speaker 1 (51:13):
You let him shout at me in peace. What's the
objectively the greatest film of all time?
Speaker 2 (51:18):
Oh? Yes, I mean it's just so difficult, isn't it.
I'm going to go with now Voyager.
Speaker 1 (51:27):
Wow, I don't think that's come up respect.
Speaker 2 (51:30):
Okay, yeah, I just feel like it has everything. So
my mom when I was a kid, would that would
have been her like perfect afternoon watching an old movie.
And at a certain point in my life when I'd
walk into the certain you were watching a movie below,
(51:52):
Well that's the day gone, because you know those movies
are on Telly and with the ad breaks, it's six hours,
it's six hours. But then she actually got me to
watch a few of the movies with her and now Voyager,
Oh my god, I was just in an hook line
and Sacre. But she goes on the cruise and she
(52:14):
has the outfits all like laid out with all the
different labels from her friend, just her saying mother. Just
I gets so giddy just hearing that Rebecca with her
and it would be a close second. But yeah, I
think everyone should watch that movie. I'm not a big
movie headed like at all. I don't know anything about films,
(52:36):
but I just think that's a total delight.
Speaker 1 (52:39):
Really good, really good chat. What's the film you could
or have watched the most over and over again.
Speaker 2 (52:45):
I have watched Catch Me If you Can, over and
over and over and over again. I just love it.
Speaker 1 (52:54):
Can I tell you something? That film Catch Me If
you Can, I've only seen once. I found it. It
made me sad for a whole week. That film. I
think it's one of the saddest films I've ever seen.
Really yeah. I was like, it looks like Jaunty and
it's Jaunty Credit Secret and it's and it's like, here's
this fun film. But for me, it was a film
(53:15):
about a guy who's so devastated by his parents' divorce
that he runs away and does all these things, but
the whole time he's just sad about his dad. And
then he never reconnects with his dad, and then his
dad dies it's the saddest story.
Speaker 2 (53:34):
But he's fine after he moves on with his life
and he has a happy life.
Speaker 1 (53:38):
So I say he's then working for the FBI. I
like the whole things, Like I feel like that what
the subtext of the film is terrible father son's story
that never gets resolved, Like all of this is him
acting out because he misses his dad.
Speaker 2 (53:51):
Right, I enjoyed the sadness.
Speaker 1 (53:54):
Yeah, no, so I'm not wrong. Right, it is a
really depressive with the jaunty sad.
Speaker 2 (54:00):
It is really sad. But I feel like I don't know,
there's something about him, Like I totally understand what you're
saying about all that's if there's something about it with
him just being like so lost and everything that I'm
not that I enjoy, but like i feel like I'm
totally there with him and I've done the whole thing
of like I watched all the interviews with the real guy,
(54:22):
and then I know, like it's kind of you know,
a lot of it isn't true and whatever, it's not true.
It's only a film.
Speaker 1 (54:31):
Brush I told you this at the beginning when we
sat down to watch it. Yeah, maybe I think it's
the sort of marketing and presentation of that film. I
guess blindsided me because had I gone in going hey,
you're a boat to watch really heavy.
Speaker 2 (54:52):
The clips of him walking through the airport with their hostess,
and you're.
Speaker 1 (54:56):
Like, this is true sexy scene with Jennifer.
Speaker 2 (55:00):
Yeah. Yeah, I take as well at the appeals because
there is a part of me where I've always had
this little thing where I would love to rub a bank. Yes,
you know, I would love I would love.
Speaker 1 (55:12):
To Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2 (55:13):
I think that's not most people feel that, don't they.
It's not for the money, Well like to have the money,
but it's just for the like adrenaline. Yeah, yeah, I
love this so good?
Speaker 1 (55:24):
What's the listening? Know? What's the worst film we've ever seen?
Speaker 2 (55:28):
Okay, we're still and I wasn't going to say this,
but it's just I'm going to have to follow my
heart dark night. Hate it, hate it?
Speaker 1 (55:38):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (55:39):
Oh, I don't know. People won't like that.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
People are going to like this. What are your reasons?
Speaker 2 (55:44):
I hate it? Because so I have to put in context.
I went to see it. It was actually the first sight
of it opening. I mean, shame with there. I don't
know how we ended up getting tickets. We didn't know
what was going on. We did, and there's people in
the cinema, they were all dressed up. What is this
the nerd fest? What's happening here? And we've got tickets
and people were like, you know, it's this whole experiencing
(56:07):
of people who been hollering and whatever. I thought it
was terrible. I look, I like Batman. Yeah, Michael Keaton
is the best one. I stuck around for George Clooney, Okay,
Michelle fight for his fantastic, beautiful, sexy, amazing, so exciting.
(56:28):
My problem now with Batman is it's boring. Where's the humor?
Where is the humor that we all grew up with?
With Batman? We know jokers fucked in the head, we
know that, Where's where's the joke A part of Joker?
I mean Jim Carrey as Riddler and all that. Like,
I was on board and now it's just gone, it's
(56:50):
gotten stupid. It's annoyed me. Now it's actually annoyed me.
And it's too fucking long. Too long, And the way
people are talking about it, they want to get a grip.
I don't know that. I have no idea that film
as well no, put it in context. What I will
say is where we went to see the movie, we
had just started ish seeing each other, so there may
(57:12):
have been the tension of we want to have sex
after this film? When is this film?
Speaker 1 (57:19):
Right? And it's not a sexy film, no.
Speaker 2 (57:22):
But the kind of like when is this going to
be over? You know? So it's just now and I
know people don't love it whatever, but vision like it.
City Range is another one. I don't know what was
going on there. I left the cinema.
Speaker 1 (57:35):
Did you have a nice time after you left The
Dark Knight?
Speaker 2 (57:38):
Yes? We did. Yeah, I just remember I can even
remember now fidgeting in my seat getting annoyed.
Speaker 1 (57:49):
What is the film you're in? Comedy? You're very funny,
you're a comedian. What's the film that made you laugh
the most?
Speaker 2 (57:55):
Oh? Yeah, so hard? How do you know what? So
many on the list? Well, I'm just gonna go with
the one that I can remember really laughing, like just
really really laughing at It was scary movie. I was
still the clever but just sometimes I feel like with
comedy or funny things, people can get too snobby about it,
(58:18):
you know. I like sometimes this silliness and all that
is exactly like I still talk about, oh, you know,
my strong hand, and I like it just kills me.
It's just kill me. I remember when I watched this,
I just roared, roared ord Ard. But like, I mean,
it's so hard to pick your favorite foody film, but
(58:42):
I feel like it's one of those words. It's not
going to be like on the Tellia Christmas or kind
of pop up. So I haven't seen it recently. Maybe
I could go back and watch it. No good, but
I just remember like screat like just laughing my head
off at that.
Speaker 1 (58:56):
It's funny. Emma Dorian, you have been wonderful. However, when
you were eighty four years old and you went up
the stairs, you had a hair dryer. You'd been using
it downstairs. You wrapped it up. You left it in
the middle of the stairs to remind yourself take that
upstairs when you go up later. You made a cup
of tea. You had the tea, then you walked up
(59:17):
the stairs. You stepped over the hair dryer, just carried on,
went upstairs, and then you went to your bed office.
You haunted it for a bit and then you were like, oh,
I'd like another cup of tea. So you come down
the stairs, you step onto the hair dryer, you fall
to You try and balance yourself, but you fall forwards
and your head goes down the stairs. You break your neck,
(59:41):
but the way you land, it's quite like beautiful. Your
hair sort of cascades over your face. The hair is
actually covering the absolute load of blood that is pouring
out of your skull. But don't worry about that, cause
the hall looks great. And anyway, I'm walking past with
a coffee, you know what I'm like, And I'm like,
oh Jesus over, your hair looks beautiful. And then I'm like, oh,
