This is an I-Heart podcast.

Look out.

He's only films to be buried with.

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 seat filler, and I love films. As lawyer Michael Cohen once said, I will not be a punching bag as part of anyone's defense strategy. And it is a goddamn disgrace that if Beale Street could talk was not nominated for Best Picture. Every week, 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. Previous guests include Ricky Javase, Catherine Ryan and James Acosta, but this week my special guest is superstar writer and creator, Leslie Headland. Right, we've got a lot to get through, so listen up. I've got lots of exciting live shows coming up, some at the BFI, one at the South Bank Festival, one at Marlow Festival, but the next big live podcast will be taking place on April 7th at the Brighton Podcast Festival. And I suggest you get your tickets, because you want to know who the guest is. All right, I'll tell you, it's only bloody Assim Chowdry. I will also be performing last year's stand-up show, What is Love? Baby Don't Hurt me for one week only at the Soho Theatre from May 6th to May 11th. So do go to the website and get your tickets fast. Follow me on Twitter at Brett Goldstein and on Instagram at Mr Brett Goldstein to keep up to date with all the live shows and my stand-up gigs. Now, here's another thing you need to know, and this is important. If you enjoy the show and you want to support it and get more content, come and join me over at patreon.com forward slash Brett Goldstein, where you get extra guest questions, videos, guest list

tickets, recommendations, all sorts of things. But listen, I've got a secret. Because I love this

episode so very much, I've decided to include all the questions, including the Patreon ones on this

free one, so that you get a sense of what you're missing. This week, there's a full extra 20 minutes

with Leslie,

and two of her answers are the most profound I've ever heard on this show, and I didn't want you to miss them, so I'm going to let you hear what you're missing if you're not yet a member. And do remember, best of all, if you become a Patreon member, not only do you get all this extra good stuff, You don't have to hear this bit about becoming a freaking Patreon member.

You just get the episode completely unencumbered by ads and stuff. this extra good stuff, you don't have to hear this bit about becoming a freaking Patreon member.

Give it a look over at patreon.com forward slash Brett Goldstein.

So, here we go. Leslie Headland, she's an actor, turned playwright, turned filmmaker,

turned co-creator, writer and director of Netflix's Russian doll. If you haven't seen the show yet, I very much suggest you do. It was your homework, and it's properly excellent. I think we spend the first 30 minutes talking about it. So if you haven't watched it all, you might want to skip the first 30 minutes, otherwise you're going to be quite annoyed i reckon it will all be spoiled for you

but for fans of the show i think we did a pretty hardcore and in-depth look into the making of it

and it's fascinating leslie is one of the only guests i've ever had who i had never met at all

before we recorded this and i think you will hear it was a total joy. She is effing brilliant and I loved it.

I hope you do too.

So that is all you need to know for now

and I very much hope you enjoy episode 34 of films to be buried with.
