Hello, this is Brett Goldstein. I'm a comedian and actor, writer, director,

swimmer, and I love films. Come join me on my podcast, Films To Be Bered With,

where I invite a special guest over, I tell them they've died, then I get them to discuss

their life through the films that meant the most to them. What films scared them the most?

Listen to films to be buried with with Brett Goldstein on Will Ferrell's big money

players network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.
