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 one of the UK's undisputed finest actors, it's RIZ AHMED! ...although don't it twisted, Riz is also nice on the mic too, having held it down solo in front of an audience of impatient Wu Tang fans. You will very likely be familiar with his work in an acting capacity however via movies and series such as the ones listed in this episode's title, but there is so much more including a wealth of voices in animations and such. He gets into a lot of it right here, including his work on the Black Mirror sort-of pre-cursor Dead Set, Bollywood and Lollywood, category killers, the Greek chorus of needledrops, empathy and its outward spread, and the infinite audition that is life. A really fun one, and Riz is excellent company so you're bound to love this. Enjoy! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Video and extra audio available on Brett's Patreon!
