Summary

LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With! Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with behind the scenes comedy writer, heavy hitter and multiple hat wearer DAN SWIMER! A super damn fine one this week folks, as Brett sits down with Dan to get down deep into the heart of this whole comedy and cinema malarkey. Between them, they cover a good amount of ground and it’s a lovely one to get to know Dan and his many ins and outs. From his co-writing with Simon Amstell in various form, to working with Brett a while back there, to being the ‘JD Sallinger of comedy”, the madness of standup comedy and processes therein, living in LA, Sacha Baron Cohen, being a bad car driver, field cults, the collateral damage of the ‘disturbing kid film’ genre, witches, Stallone, being a sensitive dad, the two ingredients to ensure tears, a round of applause for Emma Thompson, flight rules, his wife and a certain earlier film role, Uncle Joe’s big box o’ VHS tapes, and all manner of other greatness. ENJOY BRETT AND DAN! UPCOMING SHOW @ THE BFI • DECEMBER 19th!

0:04.2	Look out. It's only films to be buried with.
0:19.4	Hello and welcome to Films to Be buried with. My name is Brett Goldstein. I'm a comedian, an actor, a writer, a director, a Panini album and I love films. As Albert Camus once said, the only real progress lies in learning to be wrong all alone, which is why you should never take a date to see Justice League at the IMAX.
0:39.3	Wise words from Albert Camus.
0:41.3	Every week I invite a special guest over, I tell them they've died, then I get them to discuss
0:45.2	their life through the films that meant the most of them.
0:47.6	Previous guests include Kevin Smith, January Jones, Ricky Jervais, and even Ed Gamble.
0:53.2	Can you believe it?
0:54.0	But this week, my amazing special guest
0:56.8	is genius comedy writer, Dan Swimer. There is about 30 tickets left for the BFI show tonight
1:03.7	with Nish Kumar, end of decade special. Come along, bring your films of the decade chat. We'll have a
1:09.8	right old time. We'll wear Santa hats.
1:11.3	We'll do a Muppet sing along. It'll be the night of our lives. Also, get on the Patreon at patreon.com forward slash Brett Goldstein to help support the show for just two pounds a month. You'll get extra guest questions for most of the episodes. You'll get videos, guest list tickets, recommendations, all sorts of stuff. This week there's about 30 minutes
1:28.4	extra with Dan Swimer and it's all gold stuff. And you know what? Because it's nearly Christmas,
1:33.6	I've left a little treat on this free podcast giving you a bit of the extra that goes on the
1:38.5	Patreon one because it's so fucking good. Dan's so great. Also, if you are looking for Christmas gifts, why not go to podcastmerch.com.com. U.K. forward slash films to be buried with and buy some merch. Imagine giving your grandma. It's Christmas Day. Grandma's there. What have I got? She opens up a big old present. It's a big old hoodie. Keep her warm over winter. She puts it on and on the front it says troubling boners, worrying why dons? What could be more Christmas? So, Dan Swimer,
2:06.7	if you don't know Dan Swimer, and it's probably fair that you don't, it's because he is a
2:12.0	reclusive genius responsible for most of the things that you love. He co-wrote Grandma's House with Simon Amstall.
2:20.0	He co-writes Simon Amstall's stand-up. He's written and works with Sasha Baron Cohen. He wrote
