This episode is brought to you by Netflix's new series, East of Eden, a bold reimagining of John Steinbeck's masterpiece following generations of the Trask family through love, betrayal, and the choices that shape humanity. Starring Mike Feist and Christopher Abbott as the Trask brothers, and Florence Pugh as Kathy Ames, the complex anti-heroine determined to build the life she wants.
No matter the cost, watch East of Eden now only on Netflix.

Look out, it'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 self-checkout machine, and I love films.
As Dorothy Parker once said, the cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity, which is why even though you think you might not like it based on the reviews, you must watch Joker, pas de deux, because it's fascinating. Oh yeah, I agree with that actually, Dorothy Parker. 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 Barry Jenkins, Kevin Smith, Sharon Stone, and even blah, blah, blah, blah. But this week, we have actor, screenwriter, and producer, it's Mr. Domhnall Gleeson. Hello, everyone. You may have noticed, it's been a little while since we've had a brand new episode. Thank you for your patience. Thanks for sticking around, and most importantly, thank you for coming back. I've been away filming, I've been very busy. So for a little while, we're going to do things slightly differently. There'll be some classic rewinds from the films To Be Buried With archives, and whenever I do have time to record with someone excellent, there will be brand new episodes like this one. Ted Lasso's Season 4 is streaming on Apple TV. You can watch all four seasons now. You can also watch three seasons of Shrinking on Apple TV. You can watch my film Office Romance, written with Joe Kelly and starring Jennifer Lopez on Netflix. And I'm going to be going back on tour this fall all over the US. You can find tickets in your city brettgoldsteentour.com. Head over to the Patreon at patreon.com/brettgoldstein, where you'll get an extra 20 minutes with Domhnall. We talk beginnings and endings. He tells me a secret you will never forget. And you get the whole thing uncut, ad free and as a video. Check it out over at patreon.com/brettgoldstein.
There's also other things on the Patreon now, such as little treats like Ask Me Anythings. So Domhnall Gleeson, what a guy. You know him from About Time, you know him from Ex Machina, you know him from Brooklyn, you know him from The Revenant, you know him from Frank, you know him from The Patient, you know him from Black Mirror, from Harry Potter, from Star Wars and many other amazing projects. He really is brilliant. You can watch him now in The Paper where he plays Ned Sampson. Season 2 is out now on Peacock. It's very, very funny. You can also see his new film, The Incomer, directed by Louis Paxton, out now in cinemas. We recorded this over Zoom last week. We had such a wonderful time. I really think you're going to love this one. It's one of the great ones. Thank you all for coming back. I hope you're all well. So that is it for now. I very much hope you enjoy Episode 402 of Films To Be Buried With.
Hello, and welcome to Films To Be Buried With. It is I, Brett Goldstein, and I'm joined today by an actor, a writer, a director, an Academy Award multiple nominee, once or twice. Once, why not? Not really.
