I tell them they've died, then I get them to discuss their life through the films that meant the most of them. Previous guests include Barry Jenkins, Kevin Smith, Sharon Stone and even Hibblambles. But this week, we have comedian, actor, writer, and National Treasure. It's Mira Sayout. You can still watch my film, all of you, which I made with Will Bridges and Imaging Puts on Apple TV. Thank you to everyone who's watched it and said such lovely things about it. You can watch it again at home if you'd like. We're very proud of this film and we hope you all like it. Other news shrinking season three will premiere this month on Wednesday, January 28th, also on Apple TV. You can go to the Patreon at patreon.com forward slash Brett Goldstein, where you get an extra 20 minutes with Mira. We talk beginnings and endings. She tells me a secret. You get the whole episode uncut, ad-free, and does a video. Check it out over at patreon.com forward slash Brett Goldstein. One other piece of news. There's going to be a bit of a change over here.

They will be better than ever, and I have some cracking guests coming up. There will just be a few less. But if you still want a weekly fix, you can head over to the Patreon where we will release a Rewind Classic on the Fallow Week.
