Films To Be Buried With with Brett Goldstein - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I love this podcast and I adore Brett Goldstein! This is one of the only podcasts I listen to every week, and in the meantime go back and listen to old episodes. The premise is 10 out of 10 and a super fun way to learn interesting things about the guests, and also learn about and appreciate films to check out, and it’s so entertaining! I’m always adding new films to my list of what to watch based on the episodes. Brett is the most gracious host - inviting the guests into a bit of improv and fun, while always being a safe place to land. He listens so kindly and it’s lovely to hear what he has to add about all the films. This is a podcast that really gets me through. Thanks, Brett and everyone involved for making it! ❤️

The film that means the most to me, not because of the film itself, but because of your memories around seeing it: Saving Private Ryan - my dad never talked about his experiences in the war, however during the horrific beach scenes my dad suffered a PTSD episode and we left the cinema. Outside he told me he had been in one of the first waves ashore on D-Day and those scenes in the movie had brought a lot of repressed memories back. We became much closer after this.

Gosh, some of these reviews are making me cry! I’m way late to this party, but thankful a friend passed along this podcast rec when I stuck in a long line at the airport last week. Now I’m mildly obsessed. Living in LA, I’ve become so tired of the competitive and pretentious ways people talk about films, that I started to question if I even like movies anymore. But listening to these open-hearted, personal, funny conversations about the interplay between life and film has reminded me how deeply formative and meaningful movies have been to my life. I really appreciate how Brett never Yuks anyone’s Yums, but celebrates each guest’s unique tastes and experiences. And, also, it’s an incredibly funny podcast. Thanks Brett, for sharing your curiosity, wit and care!

If I died in a freak accident tomorrow, bury me with Billy Elliot. When it’s my turn for movie night we will all dance to New Wave, cry at fathers trying their best to sort out toxic masculinity and love their kids, wring our hands at conservative politics, and rejoice at the potential in the human heart to create and endure! That’s all the things!

This is my favorite podcast by far, great interviews and I started a list of movies to watched based on guest answers which has been a lot of fun. Goldstein is an excellent interviewer and shows great interest in all his guests and highlights them well. I’ve listened obsessively for years and helped me through some difficult times.

My favorite movie of all time is The Princess bride, but a close second for me is Waking Ned Devine 😊

Thank you and can’t want for more!
