Podcast appearances and mentions of Rob Brydon

Movie of the Year: 2006Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull StoryThe Tristram Shandy Podcast Opens the 2006 BracketThe Tristram Shandy podcast episode kicks off our brand new 2006 bracket on Movie of the Year. After crowning our way through 1971, the Taste Buds turn to a fresh film year. Moreover, we start with one of the strangest comedies of the decade. Michael Winterbottom's Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story is a film about making a film of an unfilmable book. Consequently, it makes a perfect launch title for a show that loves movies about movies. In this episode, Ryan, Mike, and Greg dig into metafiction, gender, and the prickly chemistry between Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. Additionally, two new segments make their debut. Above all, we want to set the tone for a wild 2006 season.About the FilmLaurence Sterne published The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman in nine volumes between 1759 and 1767. The novel is famous for being playful, digressive, and nearly impossible to adapt. Notably, the narrator barely manages to get himself born across hundreds of pages. Winterbottom and his team turned that problem into the whole joke. As a result, the movie follows a fictional crew trying to film the book. Steve Coogan plays a vain version of himself, plus Tristram and his father, Walter. Meanwhile, Rob Brydon plays a needling version of himself and Uncle Toby. The screenplay carries the pseudonym "Martin Hardy," although Frank Cottrell-Boyce actually wrote it. Furthermore, the cast includes Keeley Hawes, Shirley Henderson, Dylan Moran, Naomie Harris, Kelly Macdonald, and Jeremy Northam. Gillian Anderson and Stephen Fry also appear as heightened versions of themselves. You can read more at Wikipedia or the original Roger Ebert review.This is the first film episode of our 2006 season. To explore the wider bracket project, visit the Movie of the Year archive. If you enjoy this Tristram Shandy podcast deep dive, our A Clockwork Orange episode from the 1971 run pairs nicely with this conversation about cinematic form.Want to hear how the season began? Start with our 2006 season intro, then dig into the 2006 bracket reveal before this episode.Metafiction and the Unfilmable NovelMetafiction sits at the center of our first discussion. Sterne wrote a novel that constantly reminds you it is a novel. Similarly, Winterbottom built a movie that keeps reminding you it is a movie. The crew breaks the fourth wall, argues about the script, and screens its own dailies. Therefore, the film becomes a hall of mirrors about storytelling itself. The Taste Buds ask a simple question. How do you adapt a book that mocks the idea of adaptation? Furthermore, we trace the lineage from Sterne to modern self-aware comedies. Films like Adaptation and Day for Night come up as obvious cousins. Ultimately, we argue that Winterbottom found the only honest solution. He filmed the failure instead of the book. Consequently, the movie respects Sterne by refusing to tame him.The Battle of the Sexes on ScreenNext, we turn to gender and how the film portrays men and women. The male characters chase status, sex, and screen time with comic desperation. Coogan, in particular, frets about his shoe lifts and his billing. Meanwhile, the women in the film often hold the real power. Kelly Macdonald plays Jenny, who grounds Coogan with calm clarity. Naomie Harris plays Jennie, a production assistant who runs circles around the panicking men. Gillian Anderson arrives late and instantly reshapes the production. By contrast, the men flail and posture. So the Taste Buds debate a thorny point. Does the movie satirize male ego, or does it quietly indulge it? Additionally, we weigh how the battle of the sexes plays inside an 18th-century story. The novel and the film both poke fun at male pride. As a result, the gender comedy spans two very different centuries.Coogan and Brydon Anchor the Tristram Shandy PodcastAbove all, the Coogan and Brydon double act drives this Tristram Shandy podcast conversation. The two comedians play exaggerated, petty versions of themselves. Their rivalry over billing, teeth, and impressions fuels the funniest scenes. Notably, this dynamic later powered the beloved series The Trip. The Taste Buds dig into why their friction feels so real. Brydon needles, Coogan bristles, and the comedy snaps into focus. Furthermore, we discuss how improvisation shapes their banter. The closing Al Pacino impression duel becomes a highlight. Meanwhile, we ask whether the pair actually like each other on screen. The answer stays gloriously unclear. Consequently, their chemistry gives a chilly intellectual film a warm, human pulse.Rushmore: The Mount Rushmore of 2006 TelevisionOur Rushmore segment asks each host to carve a Mount Rushmore of 2006 television. The year was loaded with future classics. For instance, The Wire aired its acclaimed fourth season. Meanwhile, The Office, 30 Rock, and Friday Night Lights were all finding their feet. Additionally, prestige newcomers like Dexter and Heroes premiered to big buzz. The hosts each pick four shows and defend their choices. Naturally, the debate gets heated fast. Listen to the episode to hear which four faces each Taste Bud sets in stone.I Never Metacritic I Didn't LikeThis episode debuts a brand new game called "I Never Metacritic I Didn't Like." The premise is simple and a little dangerous. We pull up a film's Metacritic profile and put the critical consensus on trial. Specifically, we test whether the aggregate score matches our own gut reactions. Tristram Shandy earned strong reviews from critics on release. However, strong scores do not always survive a Taste Buds cross-examination. Therefore, the game lets us argue with the wider critical record in real time. Expect this segment to return throughout the 2006 season. Above all, it gives us a structured excuse to fight about numbers.Why Tristram Shandy Still MattersTristram Shandy still matters because it cracked a problem that had defeated everyone before it. Winterbottom proved you can film an unfilmable book by filming the attempt. Moreover, the movie launched a now-legendary comic partnership. The Coogan and Brydon collaboration grew into The Trip and its many sequels. Additionally, the film remains a sharp, funny lesson in adaptation. Film students and Sterne scholars both still cite it today. Ultimately, the Tristram Shandy 2006 podcast discussion shows why this small comedy punches far above its weight. Notably, it kicks our 2006 bracket off with brains and mischief.Related Episodes from Movie of the Year: 2006The 2006 season is just getting started, so this list will grow each week.

Highlights from the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026 with David Maxwell, featuring the gold medal-winning Trussell's Together Garden — the first Chelsea garden to be relocated to Northern Ireland. David meets women from the Strabane Community Project, where the garden will soon be rebuilt, and its designer, Rob Hardy. He also speaks to Arit Anderson about her show garden for Parkinson's UK and meets The Traitors star Rachel Duffy, whose late mum lived with the condition. As usual, David catches up with Joanna Lumley and other famous faces, including Sophie Raworth, Timothy Spall, Dame Judi Dench, Alan Titchmarsh, Rob Brydon and Nigel Slater. Inside the Great Pavilion, plant experts offer advice on roses, alstroemerias and vegetables, while David also visits Sarah Eberle's award-winning garden, On the Edge, which encourages us to garden with nature in mind.

Is there any better feeling than a proper belly laugh? It really is the best kind of medicine and something we all rely on to get through the ups and downs of life. Rob Brydon has built a hugely successful career on making people laugh. From his iconic role as Uncle Bryn in Gavin & Stacey to his hilarious travels with Steve Coogan in The Trip, he's truly mastered the art of entertaining. In this Great Moment, Rob shares why entertaining has always meant more to him than just getting a laugh. He also talks about creating characters like his “small man in a box” and what first sparked his love of performing. Sometimes making someone laugh isn't just about the joke, it's about giving them a moment they didn't know they needed.Listen to the full episode HERE!If you enjoyed the show, you can also follow us: Instagram- @greatcompanypodcastTikTok - @greatcompanypodcast And if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at: greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.uk THE CREDITSProducer: Helen BurkeAssistant Producer: Issy Weeks-HankinsVideo: Jake JiSocial Media: Laura CoughlanExec Producer: Ewan Newbigging-Lister & Jemima RathboneGreat Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.

We're hitting the road with actors Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon (playing fictionalized versions of themselves) to the North of England. Exploring the immortal poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, and ABBA, the film combines gastro-tourism, mid-life crises, impressions, song, and more impressions in a road-trip odd couple buddy comedy that somehow always keeps its foot on the laugh track. (Okay, it doesn't actually have a laugh track, but you get the joke.) Originally a 6-episode TV series, director Michael Winterbottom recut the largely improvised scenes into a movie, which hit 89% on Rotten Tomatoes and has led to further excursions to Italy, Spain, and Greece, with a fifth outing on the way.

Christian Mikkelsen er komiker, improvisatør og skuespiller. Hans forhold til anger dreier seg først og fremst om barna, og han kan angre på tilfeller han er stressa og ikke får brukt nok tid sammen med dem. Vi snakker bl.a. om å prøve å balansere livet riktig hver dag, at tre sesonger med «Humoretaten» har føltes ut som det har tatt tre år å lage fordi det har vært så intenst, å starte i ny jobb samtidig som det er innkjøring i barnehagen, å ha blitt mer trygg på seg selv som komiker og flinkere til å skrive, å bli bedre på å legge fra seg ideer som han merker at folk ikke får helt fot på, gleden av å endelig lage podcast sammen med vennene sine i Bare Moro Impro igjen, å være litt tom for ideer etter et år med veldig mye jobbing, hvordan det er å komme inn i et prosjekt med en konstruert gjeng som ikke kjenner hverandre så godt fra før og finne ut av sine og andres styrker, at man ikke vil se seg selv utenfra som nordmann, å plutselig befinne seg i en episode av «The Trip» med Steve Coogan og Rob Brydon på en helt alminnelig togtur og en god del om helt ukjente folk som kommer langt i «Stjernekamp», at Stellan Skarsgård er så flink at han har kommet unna med en svensk-engelsk i alle år, å aldri ha fått gjennom sketsjen «Fifty Shades of helt greit» i noen TV-produksjoner og at «Dag» er den beste serien som er laget.Programleder: Sivert MoeSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/anger.

Luke and Matt are back aboard their TV Time Machine, heading to September 2000. FOX has a new anarchic family sitcom in Malcolm in the Middle, which is hugely significant as it gives us Bryan Cranston. Rob Brydon makes his debut as a taxi driver recalling the breakup of his marriage in the truly superb short-form comedy Marion & Geoff.  On Channel 4, a fresh-faced comic, Ricky Gervais, gets his own chat show, Meet Ricky Gervais which feels like an awkward hybrid between So Graham Norton and The Larry Sanders Show which sadly doesn't work. Also on Channel 4, Dylan Moran's cult comedy Black Books, which brought together Bill Bailey and Tamsin Grieg as a strange found family. Lastly, Channel 4 also has Faking it, which takes a Yorkshire women and attempts to turn into a posh girl.    

Send us a textSettle in for a masterclass in comedy, connection, and creative perseverance as Welsh comedy legend Rob Brydon takes us on an intimate journey through his remarkable career. This isn't just another celebrity interview—it's a warm, revealing conversation that feels like eavesdropping on two old friends catching up over tea.From his childhood in Port Talbot watching comedy greats like Ryan Davis to becoming a national treasure himself, Rob shares the pivotal moments that shaped his path. The conversation brims with delightful anecdotes: crying with laughter at pantomimes as a child, nervously meeting Steve Coogan for the first time, and the sliding doors moment when he bumped into Hugo Blick at the BBC, leading to the creation of "Marion and Geoff"—the show that changed everything.What makes this episode truly special is Rob's disarming honesty about the struggles before success. While contemporaries like the League of Gentlemen were rising to fame, he was working on shopping channels, sending out VHS tapes that returned with the "crash of failure." His story reminds us that even the most accomplished performers face rejection and doubt. When he shares how Barry Humphries once told him, "You didn't just entertain that audience, you befriended them," we understand exactly what makes Rob so beloved by audiences worldwide.The conversation takes unexpected turns, from Rob's growing appreciation for nature as he ages to his thoughts on legacy. When asked how he'd like to be remembered, his immediate answer—"as just a good dad"—reveals the man behind the performer. With his upcoming Scandinavian edition of "The Trip" with Steve Coogan on the horizon, this conversation captures Rob at a reflective moment in his celebrated career.Whether you're a long-time fan or discovering Rob Brydon for the first time, this episode offers wisdom, warmth, and genuine laughter.

That's the challenge at the heart of Michael Winterbottom's Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story, a delightfully meta take on Laurence Sterne's famously chaotic 18th-century novel The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman.In this week's episode, the Dads dive into a film that blurs every boundary — between adaptation and behind-the-scenes drama, between actor and character, and between self-awareness and outright parody. Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon play heightened versions of themselves, bickering over screen time, wardrobe choices, and (of course) who does the better impressions. Meanwhile, the “film within a film” takes us through absurd historical reenactments, disastrous prop work, and even a giant model womb.We talk about:Why Sterne's novel was considered “unfilmable” and how the movie leans into that chaos.The deliciously petty dynamic between Coogan and Brydon, and how it later set the stage for The Trip.Cameos from British comedy royalty — Stephen Fry, Dylan Moran, Mark Williams, David Walliams, and more.How the movie juggles philosophical musings, slapstick humour, and industry satire — sometimes all in the same scene.Whether the film is more fun to watch or to talk about.It's part literary experiment, part farce, and part therapy session for Steve Coogan's fragile ego. And while Tristram Shandy might not be everyone's cup of tea, there's plenty to chew on — from postmodern storytelling to the sheer joy of watching talented comedians spark off each other.If you've ever enjoyed The Trip, love films about filmmaking, or just want to hear us wrestle with a movie that refuses to play by the rules, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Welcome back to The Film Library, a Kanopy podcast where we celebrate cinematic detours, cult favorites, and emotional deep cuts - no film degree required.  This week, hosts Kristy Puchko (Entertainment Editor at Mashable) and Jeff Rauseo (film lover, mixtape curator, and your pop culture pit stop concierge) are hitting the road, literally and cinematically, with an episode all about road trip movies.  From cross-country chaos to soulful slow drives, Kristy and Jeff unpack their favorite films that turn the journey into the story. Think animated mayhem with Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, New Zealand wilderness hijinks in Hunt for the Wilderpeople, and the deeply personal power of art and aging in Faces Places.  Whether you're craving absurd buddy comedy, family heartbreak, or a dose of French artistry, this episode has something for every kind of passenger.  If you're ready to cue the mixtape, buckle up, and explore some unforgettable pit stops, this episode will point your headlights in the right direction.    Follow Kristy on Instagram @thekristypuchko and Letterboxd @kristypuchko.       Follow Jeff on Instagram, TikTok, and Letterboxd @jeffrauseo.       Follow Kanopy on Letterboxd to see the full episode list.   Stream the films we mention for free at kanopy.com with a library card or university ID from a participating institution.
