My guest this week is the easily embarrassed Athena Kugblenu, talking about her teen crushes. We dredge our memories for long forgotten 90s boy bands, ponder when an older man is too old and decide whether our allegiance was to George Clooney or Goran Višnjić in the great E.R. Crush Wars of 1999. It's a fantastic episode - not least because Athena seems genuinely embarrassed, and that's always very funny. You can hear more of her in BBC Sounds' DMs are Open which is out now. And more of us next week (or dip into the back catalogue if you haven't for a while!?) As always, you can find us (ad free) on Substack, if that floats your boat. For a little less than $5 a month you can support the show, and stop hearing ads. Or carry on here for a free show, and some ads. It's all good!

*This episode was recorded prior to the start of the SAG-AFTRA strike.* 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 hilarious comic and writer ATHENA KUGBLENU! Below will be the original writeup for this episode which originally aired February 21st 2019. Even further back than the previous week's rewind, which makes it so fascinating to re-contextualise. This was recorded before pandemic times, and literally almost 2 months after Athena giving birth, so it's a huge one - so enjoyable and definitely one worth hearing once more in all its glory. Video and extra audio available on Brett's Patreon! (video available where possible) ––––––––––––––––––––––––– Surely one of the most hardcore Films To Be Buried With guests at that, as Athena is mere days after giving birth - that's some solid dedication to the craft of podcasting right there! And we are blessed by her golden presence, as Brett sets things off proper from the get go, which provides us with gem after gem including her brand new parent role, attending the cinema with her then unborn baby and working out what it responded to, how she enjoys her horror movies with a cup of sweet tea at the end (that's actually a perfect combo) and SO much more… How much more? Well, the question “What in the world happened to Billy Zane?” gets posed, and also Athena makes Brett very angry - why, you may ask? Oh… You'll find out… While films get spoiled all over the shop in the podcast, this writeup is a spoiler-free zone, people. ENJOY ATHENA! HOME IMDB INSTAGRAM TWITTER MANY LINKS!
