Podcast appearances and mentions of nat luurtsema

BAFTA-nominated film maker, author and comedian Nat Luurtsema explains why Rimmer really doesn't deserve nice things. We talk grubby, grotty losers and reassuring lessons about growing up. You'll also get to hear the moment Nat wins Red Dwarf. Analysing series 2 episode 1, Kryten, we discuss the theatrical roots of our favourite mechanoid's name, the innately tragic quality of fictional butlers, and the audience response to Lister being Rimmer's wingman. Plus: the origins of a feud between cast members that started during this ep and continues to this very day. And, of course, we admire David Ross' totally legit performance.SO WHAT IS IT?Better Than Life is the pod where comedians talk Red Dwarf, the greatest sci-fi sitcom, one episode at a time. With a fresh guest every ep, we're your perfect podcast companion for a first watch or a rewatch. Be warned: spoilers! Hosted by Fergus (huge fan) and John (lapsed fan). Production, artwork and insights by Alex Watson.

Best Pick with John Dorney, Jessica Regan, Tom Salinsky and special guest Nat Luurtsema Episode 225: The Shawshank Redemption Released 10 August 2022 For this episode, we were joined by writer, actor and comedian Nat Luurtsema who has brought us the 1994 film The Shawshank Redemption, written and directed by Frank Darabont who adapted it from the Stephen King novella Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. The stars are Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman and despite seven Oscar nominations it was somewhat of a box office disappointment, but it developed a second lease of life on VHS and subsequently on DVD, and it has a permanent position at the top of the IMDb top 250. https://twitter.com/natluurtsema https://www.amazon.co.uk/Books-Nat-Luurtsema/s?rh=n%3A266239%2Cp_27%3ANat+Luurtsema https://www.avclub.com/read-this-a-darkly-comedic-seinfeld-spec-script-set-da-1798250195 BEST PICK – the book is out now from all the usual places, including… From the publisher https://tinyurl.com/best-pick-book-rowman UK Amazon https://amzn.to/3zFNATI US Amazon https://www.amzn.com/1538163101 UK bookstore https://www.waterstones.com/book/9781538163108 US bookstore https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/best-pick-john-dorney/1139956434 Audio book https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Best-Pick-Audiobook/B09SBMX1V4 To send in your questions, comments, thoughts and ideas, you can join our Facebook group, Tweet us on @bestpickpod or email us on bestpickpod@gmail.com.

This episode was recorded at the start of 2022, so fresh into the year in fact, that Hannah broke dry January for it!BUT, it was a bittersweet time, as although the team was thrilled to be back on stage at The Covent Garden Studios with a fantastic crowd, one of the gang had finally succumbed to Covid. Yes, unfortunately, there is around 60% less sass than usual in this episode, as detective Sasshole Catie was locked away in quarantine.At least our fantastic guest comedian and writer, Nat Luurtsema was on-hand not only to relay a most audacious criminal encounter but also to lend some sauce to a meaty case, which made Hannah's mouth water.We also get to hear from an audience member whose story got the crowd 'buzzing' with excitement.If YOU want to see our gals LIVE in London's Westend, then come along to one of their upcoming residencies at The Covent Garden Studios, for dates and tickets, go to https://dice.fm/venue/covent-garden-studios or drunkwomensolvingcrime.comAND you can also support their Patreon to have access to extra records, watch episodes recorded over zoom, shout outs and ad-free eps!patreon.com/drunkwomensolvingcrime See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

For this episode, Lorcan has had a conversation with BAFTA-nominated writer, actor, comedian, and director Nat Luurtsema to discuss her experiences in producing short films and the hoops she has had to jump to finally reach a point where a number of her feature projects are entering production. facebook.com/bowobpod twitter.com/bowobpod bowobpodcast@gmail.com

In this conversation I chat to writer, director and author Nat Luurtsema (https://twitter.com/natluurtsema).Nat has written for Mock The Week (BBC), 8 Out Of Ten Cats (Channel 4) and with her sketch group Jigsaw, Nat has had two Radio 4 series, and three sell-out Edinburgh runs.

Girl Out of Water, Nat’s debut children’s book was longlisted for the Waterstones' Children’s Book of the Year.Nat describes how she transitioned from radio presenting to performing stand up and sketch to then writing/directing films and becoming an author. She explains why she stopped acting and performing stand up to focus on her writing/directing career. Nat also breaks down how she took a DIY approach to learning the craft of filmmaking.She describes how she would often manifest having great gigs and how she has incorporated manifestation on a regular basis into her filmmaking career. She explains why she never googled herself or her reviews as a stand up and now also as a filmmaker and why she does so many creative endeavours. We discuss the importance of not being self-deprecating and being kind and empathetic towards yourself.Nat describes how she met her film producers, she talks about the importance of having a solid working relationship with your agent and loads more!If you like this episode please do rate and review the podcast on Apple.Happy listening :)Steve - @offkeysteve See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode, we'll be taking on the 1999 found footage horror, The Blair Witch Project.The Blair Witch Project is the original found footage horror that follows three film students, Heather, Michael and Joshua, as they go into the Maryland backwoods to cover the mystery behind the Blair Witch incidents, which legend says are the product of an exiled witch taken her revenge on the town that wronged her. However, they lose their map and things take an unexpected turn. It's an interesting one to discuss in this series dedicated to witches - because there's a lot of talking about the witch, a lot of witchy business going on, but the witch herself is never seen. Anna is joined by BAFTA-nominated writer and director Nat Luurtsema to discuss the impact, legacy and witch credentials of found footage horror The Blair Witch Project (1999). We discuss the power of atmosphere, how less is more with the legend of the Blair Witch, Heather as a unlikable lead character, and the impact it had on horror filmmakers everywhere. *** To coincide with our season of films and events, Here Be Witches, we will be focusing this first series on exploring all things witchcraft on film. Each episode, we will dive deep into films and TV shows that we can't necessarily screen. Each episode, we'll be joined with special guests to dissect and discuss a film or show, its legacy and the way witches are represented.

We finally left the house!! Last month, Broad Appeal went out into the wild for our first-ever LIVE event as part of Fringe! Queer Film & Arts Fest in East London. Now you too can pretend you were there. Name an actress who is indisputably iconic… does she have what it takes to enter the Broad Appeal Hall of Fame? Your candidates are: a) a neurotic New Yorker; b) a delicious Dame; c) a moving Mum; d) a Force of Nature; e) a prissy Princess ripe for rehabilitation. Seán and Brian convened an All-Star panel - Nat Luurtsema, Kemah Bob and Shon Faye - to nominate and advocate for the candidates, before the live audience determined the winner. This is, without question, the most satisfying election result of 2018!!! (With special shout-out to technical wizards Will Swinburne & Helen MacKenzie who engineered the show.) Happy New Year and we’ll be with you again during Oscar season. Xxxx Clips from the film presented according to fair use policy.

They say there’s no place like home - and in the case of the homes we discuss this week, THANK GOD! We delve into the World’s Worst Lodgings with our guest: no less than a BAFTA nominated screenwriter, stand-up, sketch comedian, actor, author - the multi-talented and multi-vowel-possessing Nat Luurtsema. Nat helps us face up to some home truths as we wade through the murky depths of our former university dwellings. We go exploring a poisonous granny-flat, Ben’s Edinburgh Festival digs, Barry’s showery sex life, Megan Fox’s menagerie and a few horrible hermitages.

Here they discuss what what they, and we, can learn from these screenwriting gurus.

Nat Luurtsema and Angelos Epithemiou join Alex in our very first news special. Not wanting to miss out on the main talking point of last year, we thought we'd reminisce and join the bandwagon, even if it is 11 months too late. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Cameron Esposito, Rob Huebel, Humphrey Ker and Nat Luurtsema join host Jesse Thorn for a distinctly dirty episode of the comedy quiz show where land laws do not apply. You're welcome, posterity.

May 5th 2013 - James O'Brien talks to Alex Andreou, Lee Camp, Gary Delaney and Nat Luurtsema about the nutty fruitcakes of British politics, and UKIP as well; how Barack Obama wishes he could find someone in America with enough authority to close Guantanamo, and a tasteful exploration of media stars' sexual predations. Not something you'd get from the BBC - except in the dressing rooms of course. With old-school(tie) rapping straight outta Hampstead from Mr Dave Cohen. Soliloquent interludes courtesy of Messrs Alistair Barrie and Nick Revell.

In episode five the legendary Mike McShane talks about why Amnesty is important to him, Claire Sweeney tells us a secret about Bill Clinton, DeAnne Smith sings us a song about the things we all have in common and there is hilarious stand up from Felicity Ward, Jigsaw and Terry Alderton.
