[00:00:04] The hero deringet, the ringel that is marked, is back in my prime video
[00:00:09] Click on the middle of the video
[00:00:11] I don't hear anything about it, but I'm doing it again
[00:00:14] The hero deringet, the ringel that is marked, now the new star is streaming only by prime video
[00:00:26] Ever wonder what it is about landlanders that makes my right to skin control
[00:00:32] Are you looking for solid but unspectacular rental advice?
[00:00:37] Do you long for the housing bubble to burst with the bloodyest possible?
[00:00:45] Pumping us an honor as we dissect our third derity, police of life, and take you, hold on, hold on, no
[00:00:54] Follow me at terror tapes on the socials first, do it, have you done it?
[00:00:59] Don't you lie to me?
[00:01:02] Okay, okay, now we can go inside the fear
[00:01:11] Normally people know this all care but these of life was the first episode that we recorded
[00:01:20] I saw we're gonna start
[00:01:22] I'm wrong, right?
[00:01:24] That was the first one, so there's a lot of significance
[00:01:25] You just want to be an initial notebook job, yes
[00:01:28] Notebook job, yes
[00:01:30] I haven't had a call before
[00:01:32] Just takes me back in note, job, oh, yeah
[00:01:36] Lined or dotted, I don't know, let's go see a doctor
[00:01:40] So we will start with lease of life
[00:01:43] Because that is as I'm excited, yeah the first one that was written
[00:01:48] And it was actually the first one that we recorded
[00:01:50] It was going to be the first one that we were going to release
[00:01:53] I think was also the first one that we edited that I edited put music to
[00:01:58] So it was always going to be the first episode
[00:02:01] But then Alexandra, our director who cannot be with us due to death
[00:02:08] She suggested quite rightly that fish food just has this big bombastic quality to it
[00:02:16] That it serves really well as a sort of a season premiere
[00:02:19] And I think I was working in New York when we got that voice message from her
[00:02:26] And I was like, I think we were about to release in a month and a bit
[00:02:29] Fish food hadn't been edited, fully hadn't really had the music set to it
[00:02:35] And I remember thinking, shit she's right
[00:02:38] And we'd already kind of finished lease of life
[00:02:40] So it was like, okay now we've got a rush
[00:02:43] Yeah
[00:02:43] Rush, fish food, but it was the right decision I think
[00:02:46] Well I think so because lease of life, the idea was it was kind of a bit more sketch like
[00:02:52] And you were coming back to the same two characters
[00:02:54] Whereas fish food was more of a story and more of a film cinematic
[00:03:01] Yes
[00:03:01] And the fact that we had this character
[00:03:04] The protagonist of Jennifer being the voiceover
[00:03:09] And it just all seemed like
[00:03:13] It just all seemed to kind of fit
[00:03:15] There were lots of things that made sense to move it
[00:03:17] The only thing we had to swap was the trailer
[00:03:20] Yes
[00:03:21] Because the plot teacher was originally going to be in fish food
[00:03:24] And we thought umbrella seemed like the good gateway
[00:03:27] Yeah
[00:03:28] Trailer into the whole fake universe
[00:03:30] Because it's so, because also to play teacher
[00:03:32] But I think it was the third episode
[00:03:33] Like there's quite a lot going on in that one
[00:03:36] umbrella is still quite minimalist
[00:03:39] Yes
[00:03:40] The amount of
[00:03:41] It's like hopefully a good guy
[00:03:44] But we'll get to that
[00:03:46] But with lease of life
[00:03:48] Even though we are starting to reverse order
[00:03:50] I guess we should talk about how
[00:03:53] Well, I mean how did it come about
[00:03:55] What are the sort of inspirations in this story
[00:03:58] So we can't like you say we came up with a golden 13
[00:04:02] Also
[00:04:02] And the beginning of which lease of life was one of them more
[00:04:05] It's a 13 episode for you
[00:04:06] There's been a very story lines
[00:04:09] And I think we will be very much based on some real life experience for you
[00:04:14] Well, yeah
[00:04:15] Actually I do need to give a bit of credit
[00:04:18] To one of the actors in lease of life
[00:04:21] I mean it are manned
[00:04:23] Because at the time it was like
[00:04:25] Twenty twenty once
[00:04:26] So we were just coming out a lot of down
[00:04:28] There was a whole thing over people being like
[00:04:30] Cova's over blow and all this kind of like being in your bubble
[00:04:33] And people
[00:04:36] And it was the way landlords were like treating their tenants
[00:04:40] And this sort of time
[00:04:42] Which was not good
[00:04:45] And a media
[00:04:46] We were just chatting one time
[00:04:49] And she said
[00:04:50] Can you imagine if
[00:04:53] You know what landlords would have been like
[00:04:55] You know in like a zombie apocalypse thing
[00:04:57] And that was like
[00:04:58] I love that idea
[00:05:00] And she was like you may have it
[00:05:01] It is it is yours and I
[00:05:03] Look that very like that literally that log line
[00:05:07] And just expanded it
[00:05:10] And put a lot of
[00:05:13] My own personal experiences in it
[00:05:17] Like for example the you can't be in the loft
[00:05:20] Because you'd have to be paying double rent
[00:05:22] Because it's technically not on the property
[00:05:23] Whatever that's that's genuine
[00:05:26] That's a genuine thing
[00:05:27] So
[00:05:28] It's not unfair and be a little spout
[00:05:29] Oh
[00:05:30] It's not based on any particular landlord
[00:05:33] It's an amalgamation of all people I've dealt with
[00:05:35] I've lived in London for five years
[00:05:37] And I have lived in six or
[00:05:41] How many like maybe six or seven times
[00:05:43] I'm watching now is the time to name them
[00:05:45] And then maybe sort of the rough area or a dress
[00:05:48] Mmm
[00:05:50] Mmm
[00:05:50] But so
[00:05:51] That's a universal experience right
[00:05:52] Lant like renting landlords
[00:05:56] Overreach
[00:05:58] Pedantry
[00:05:58] Yeah, it's definitely because I've definitely talked to people
[00:06:01] Ricky
[00:06:02] Ricky Dwayne who does the Ricky Horror
[00:06:05] Horror cast
[00:06:06] Podcast
[00:06:08] He says that a list of life is his favourite episode
[00:06:10] I think you know, I think it does ring true for a lot of people
[00:06:14] It was also why I felt I wanted
[00:06:16] Why I wanted to play
[00:06:18] The main guy in that episode
[00:06:21] Because
[00:06:21] Fair away
[00:06:23] Therapy
[00:06:24] Method acting
[00:06:24] I've been doing for years
[00:06:25] Without realising like
[00:06:27] I just it just it seemed
[00:06:29] It was one I wanted to do
[00:06:31] And so on the zombies
[00:06:34] And sort of the influences there
[00:06:36] I mean we don't
[00:06:37] We don't get a lot of zombies
[00:06:39] Really throughout the episode
[00:06:40] Which is I think it's quite funny
[00:06:43] Yeah
[00:06:44] Because again, like one of my favourite films
[00:06:47] Is Shaun of the Dead
[00:06:48] And I love that whole thing of
[00:06:50] Then I actually do anything
[00:06:51] And it's kind of like literally on the doorstep
[00:06:54] But I'm in in their house
[00:06:55] Because being sort of like there is some
[00:06:57] We start going on but we all just kind of
[00:07:00] We're just
[00:07:01] Hang got time for that
[00:07:02] We you know, very British just the problem
[00:07:04] We'll go
[00:07:04] We ignore it, it'll go away
[00:07:05] Yeah
[00:07:06] And I really wanted to kind of
[00:07:08] It's almost like
[00:07:09] Whilst there is
[00:07:11] Walking Dead stars
[00:07:12] On the apocalypse
[00:07:14] Where you've got the hero
[00:07:16] And
[00:07:16] You know you've got this epic story going on
[00:07:20] Somewhere in one other flat there
[00:07:21] There is a guy just having an argument
[00:07:23] There's land lady over why he's not allowed to
[00:07:26] Board up a window because of
[00:07:29] Closes in the contracts
[00:07:30] What are the other non-important
[00:07:32] Well, it's just a deal
[00:07:33] Yeah, yeah, exactly
[00:07:35] And also just keeps it
[00:07:36] It kind of meant we had the story
[00:07:38] Was quite short and then when we had
[00:07:39] All the extras
[00:07:41] Around it with Brahman fear and everything
[00:07:43] It just sort of
[00:07:45] It came to life
[00:07:46] Yeah, yeah
[00:07:47] I mean, obviously
[00:07:48] Romero I think has its place
[00:07:51] Oh yeah
[00:07:52] What dawn is like
[00:07:53] That was the first zombie
[00:07:55] Feel my sort
[00:07:56] Yeah, I've got a big one for me
[00:07:58] Yeah, yeah, yeah
[00:07:59] I remember taping it late night
[00:08:00] It was on at BBC on the BBC
[00:08:04] Yeah, we can I take dinner
[00:08:05] I watched it another time
[00:08:07] And I think in mind of even been a cut version
[00:08:10] I really cut down
[00:08:12] Yeah, I think I've only ever seen
[00:08:15] The US Romero cuts
[00:08:16] I've not seen the European
[00:08:18] Cut with more goblin music
[00:08:21] Because
[00:08:21] Was there a gentle hat
[00:08:23] The red light he was on as producer
[00:08:25] Or distributor
[00:08:26] And so he got the rights to kind of
[00:08:28] Re-cut the film
[00:08:30] And redo the film
[00:08:31] Like it's like
[00:08:32] Is that sound right?
[00:08:33] Yes, right
[00:08:34] So soundtrack
[00:08:34] Yeah, soundtrack
[00:08:35] That's right
[00:08:36] Oh, it's so good
[00:08:37] But no, that means
[00:08:38] But yeah, dawn dawn with that absolute classic
[00:08:41] But we're going to go towards zombie
[00:08:42] Famous zombie films have been later
[00:08:44] Mm-hmm
[00:08:44] Of which may I definitely many
[00:08:46] Yeah, so I think also like
[00:08:47] The thing is because it's a sort of
[00:08:49] It is a literal monster in the house story
[00:08:52] Um, again, it's that kind of
[00:08:54] We wanted to sort of
[00:08:56] Because we knew we were actually going to make this
[00:08:58] It was like let's not make it too hard for us
[00:09:01] I was by having like
[00:09:02] Armies of zombies
[00:09:03] Yeah, it was just having like
[00:09:05] Well, but the two the two characters that
[00:09:08] Yeah, the comes on is
[00:09:09] Spoiler if you have
[00:09:11] You could go
[00:09:13] Listen to the episode before you listen to this
[00:09:15] But um, again, it was sort of
[00:09:17] Because dawn of the dead
[00:09:20] Uh, was one where again the music kind of
[00:09:23] That was one of the first sorts of horror
[00:09:25] We were the music with particular like stayed in my head
[00:09:28] Okay, yeah
[00:09:29] Um, there was again sort of like well this
[00:09:31] Yeah, it's basically like
[00:09:32] I mean performance wise
[00:09:33] There's a definitely Ramirez on B-man's
[00:09:35] There's no question
[00:09:36] Oh, yeah
[00:09:38] Yeah, yeah
[00:09:40] Yeah, yeah
[00:09:40] We were doing traditional zombies
[00:09:42] We weren't going for
[00:09:43] It wasn't dawn of the day
[00:09:45] We were screaming
[00:09:46] Or twey
[00:09:46] No, no, modern
[00:09:48] Modern zombies
[00:09:50] No
[00:09:50] Which I'm not I'm not
[00:09:52] Not again
[00:09:53] Not again
[00:09:54] I do like the
[00:09:55] I do like the
[00:09:56] The traditional football
[00:09:57] I do like the traditional
[00:09:58] Absolutely
[00:09:59] Yeah, okay, so acting wise
[00:10:01] So we have we have a it's actually a bigger car
[00:10:04] Some we think but because obviously you're part of the production team
[00:10:07] Alex
[00:10:07] Yeah, sort of we always forget to kind of lump you in with a general car
[00:10:11] But we've got a Lucy Farrett
[00:10:13] Um, as milled root
[00:10:15] The land the land lady
[00:10:16] Yeah, Lucy of who is often cast for we sing
[00:10:21] Oh, lady
[00:10:22] Oh, lady, she's not an old lady
[00:10:24] Oh, very spri-
[00:10:26] You went to uni with her, didn't you?
[00:10:28] I did
[00:10:28] Yeah, I was lived with her now husband
[00:10:32] Yeah
[00:10:33] Twice on two separate occasions
[00:10:36] Lots of
[00:10:37] I think I think I think was me who suggested Lucy
[00:10:40] Just because we did have somebody else
[00:10:42] We were thinking but we weren't sure that we were going to make a work
[00:10:45] Yes
[00:10:46] And so I just jumped to say we have to get Lucy, she's fantastic
[00:10:50] She would get this, she would absolutely know this part
[00:10:53] And sure she does get typecars as an old woman
[00:10:56] But like she just has a way she has a way with it
[00:10:59] But she's a fantastic character comedian
[00:11:02] She's she's so good
[00:11:03] She's got a sketch show called Ladyface
[00:11:07] She's kicked around quite a lot
[00:11:10] She's super talented, absolutely she check her out
[00:11:15] Absolutely
[00:11:15] And in supporting cast we've got
[00:11:18] We've got Danielle Agreto Piper who is the sister of
[00:11:21] Director, Alex O'Neill
[00:11:22] We've seen itself is wonderful
[00:11:24] The idea of sister directing sister
[00:11:26] That was their first time working together
[00:11:27] Yeah, and before anyone
[00:11:30] It gets a assumption of nepotism
[00:11:32] We actually had Danielle at before we had Alexandra
[00:11:35] We might add director through our actor
[00:11:38] But that's how it came about
[00:11:41] Which is an interesting one
[00:11:42] I know a lot last but not least
[00:11:44] Ammon, the creator of this story
[00:11:48] Well that seemed the right thing
[00:11:50] I just also I know that Amelia can do impeccable
[00:11:57] Monster, Grails and zombie moans
[00:12:00] And that comes across
[00:12:02] Amelia was amazing
[00:12:05] You've known so you've known Amelia for a long time
[00:12:08] Yeah, since we were like 14 and 15
[00:12:12] Yeah, we were in chorus in sort of
[00:12:17] Brighton theatre group, whatever production of linserabla
[00:12:21] We were in chorus
[00:12:22] And we bonded over just like
[00:12:26] A lot of like writing and creating
[00:12:28] When it's made stuff and I've made stuff
[00:12:30] With the Amelia for years
[00:12:33] And it's so nice to have her involved in this as well
[00:12:39] Yes, that is our cast for Lisa life
[00:12:42] And with the recording
[00:12:44] So actually a lot of the recordings happened over zoom
[00:12:49] I think Lisa of life was very unique
[00:12:51] And it didn't was an originally meant to be like this
[00:12:54] So this is our first recording day
[00:12:57] And as I recall, it went terribly
[00:12:59] It was yeah, so this was a real kind of learning on our feet
[00:13:04] Because I mean the thing was, we could, you know, plan it as much as we could
[00:13:10] But the bottom line is we were still really like
[00:13:14] Fumbling in the dark
[00:13:14] We really don't know what we were doing
[00:13:17] I think it's fair to say
[00:13:18] No, that's very fair
[00:13:20] But for starters, Lucy tried to join us on zoom and had a laptop
[00:13:25] It's literally just tired
[00:13:26] And I felt really bad because whilst we were recording
[00:13:30] She spent the whole day running to laptop shops
[00:13:33] Like you know, it was like huge stress for her
[00:13:36] Yes
[00:13:37] We recorded at Sam's house
[00:13:41] It's our only group record
[00:13:42] Like this is the only episode
[00:13:44] It wasn't meant to go like this
[00:13:46] Yeah, it was at an Alexander over zoom
[00:13:49] First of all, it's a new over zoom as well
[00:13:51] And yeah, you were ever seen this from the beginning
[00:13:53] I was over zoom
[00:13:54] So what was meant to be entirely over zoom
[00:13:57] Happened to just have Alex
[00:14:01] Amelia and Daniela in the same room
[00:14:03] Recording on Sam's H5 zoom
[00:14:06] H5 handy recording
[00:14:07] On a tiny little table in the middle of the list
[00:14:10] Yes, yes
[00:14:11] We have some pictures of this
[00:14:13] It's very lovely
[00:14:14] There were some very really lovely pictures of that session
[00:14:16] But yes, Lucy zoomed in
[00:14:19] And then very soon
[00:14:22] Into us recording her laptop dies
[00:14:24] Just yeah
[00:14:25] It was the first recording day and that sort of what we're going to
[00:14:27] Can you remember what the date was
[00:14:30] It was Friday the 13th of May
[00:14:32] It was Friday the 13th of May
[00:14:35] 20, 20, 20, 20
[00:14:38] Yes
[00:14:38] We thought that would be a funny day to start the recording
[00:14:42] Yes, because that could be for the sort of
[00:14:46] The sort of story
[00:14:47] It's like, oh, it started on Friday the 13th
[00:14:50] I really tested our luck there
[00:14:51] Oh yeah, because then I went home
[00:14:52] And that night my kitchen flooded
[00:14:55] Because water basically burst through the light in my scene
[00:14:58] I was going to get to that
[00:14:59] And I have more than the trouble
[00:15:03] So it was all kind of a line
[00:15:04] Your flight from it's dating up
[00:15:05] Your flight mates died
[00:15:07] They all got it
[00:15:08] Yeah, I'm drowning
[00:15:10] And drown, yeah
[00:15:12] It's Bathsby
[00:15:13] So yeah, it was
[00:15:14] But yeah, I mean so it was a tough first day
[00:15:17] Honestly, I think also I had a personal sort of a personal thing that I was
[00:15:23] Also disturbed by that
[00:15:24] You the handy zoom recorder has stereo top mics
[00:15:29] Yes
[00:15:30] And because we were going to be recording several people
[00:15:33] I was
[00:15:35] Alexander was directing the actors
[00:15:37] But I was directing the actor placements
[00:15:40] So it's telling a milieu to be a little bit further back
[00:15:42] So she's a little bit further away
[00:15:44] In the drama in the space and a little bit further to left
[00:15:47] And because you were recording into audacity
[00:15:51] You recorded it all in mono
[00:15:52] So there was no way of getting that stereo image back
[00:15:55] It took a long time to get you out of that black mood
[00:15:59] Yeah, I think it's true
[00:16:00] You found that out with your trying to be like
[00:16:02] It'll be okay
[00:16:03] It won't
[00:16:04] You won't
[00:16:06] But when you listen to it
[00:16:08] You wouldn't
[00:16:09] You would still sound great
[00:16:10] It doesn't matter
[00:16:12] I just cut everyone up and I paned them when I needed it
[00:16:16] It was our first time
[00:16:18] No, it's fine
[00:16:18] It was just so much that when wrong about first day
[00:16:22] But then it's really interesting
[00:16:24] Because Daniela
[00:16:25] When we came to record this new batch
[00:16:30] She actually message me afterwards
[00:16:32] And said
[00:16:33] Like, wow you guys are such a well-aweled machine
[00:16:37] Now compared to that first day
[00:16:40] And I mean, yeah, she was there at the very beginning
[00:16:42] She just kind of paned up
[00:16:43] Oh my god, you guys know exactly what you're doing
[00:16:46] That's a year of a story
[00:16:50] Of a trying to work out how to do these over zoom
[00:16:55] The one thing that is very troubling
[00:16:56] Or difficult for us with as we are showing with a lot of screaming
[00:17:00] Is that zoom has this noise canceling thing
[00:17:03] When a person is too loud
[00:17:05] They'll just cut the audio
[00:17:06] So very often we have to just
[00:17:08] Trust the very enshrined episode
[00:17:11] I imagine it was really good
[00:17:14] They're looking nice
[00:17:15] So what do you like not like landlord or something Alex?
[00:17:19] Because it seems to be a lot of
[00:17:22] It's very tough to reach
[00:17:24] It's very subtle
[00:17:25] It's going to only be reading between the lines
[00:17:27] Yeah, but I have had problems with landlords
[00:17:31] And landlords and landlords and landlords
[00:17:36] And landlords
[00:17:38] For all landlords, that's a good choice
[00:17:40] Yeah, I mean it's just it's just a lot of the stuff
[00:17:44] Like with a lot of things I write
[00:17:48] Where I'm often taking for bait and conversations
[00:17:52] And not really putting much imagination into it
[00:17:55] It's all
[00:17:56] A singular joy
[00:17:57] Yeah, yeah, yeah
[00:17:59] So there are things in lease of life that are
[00:18:02] Ah, genuine
[00:18:03] And since you know I kind of don't really have a lake to stand on
[00:18:07] With at the time with a lot of these people
[00:18:10] All I can do is put down my anger and kind of take that
[00:18:15] In a product that they will never hear or care about
[00:18:18] Yeah, just for so
[00:18:20] Yeah, that's
[00:18:21] I mean let's say they say to get over to Roma
[00:18:23] Just live your best life
[00:18:25] Don't worry about you know
[00:18:26] Don't don't factor those people in
[00:18:28] That's an old in therapy session
[00:18:30] That's what we're going to do
[00:18:32] Also having them get like devoured by these onbies
[00:18:36] Tour the part
[00:18:37] It's nice to talk
[00:18:38] That is quite fast
[00:18:39] Definitely it's quite good when you write that
[00:18:41] When you hear it when you hear it
[00:18:44] And God help you if you do do do do do do
[00:18:50] So there are some musical influences I wanted to talk about
[00:18:54] Yes
[00:18:54] So there's this is one where I said I always knew that it was going to just be sort of like a band
[00:19:01] You know actual drum kit with a bass
[00:19:05] And don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't just
[00:19:08] Chugging along that just sort of that always felt like that was sort of it
[00:19:13] But both
[00:19:16] Truthfully the thing that I always knew I wanted in there
[00:19:18] And I can't really think exactly which film
[00:19:21] This is from and it's probably from many like so many
[00:19:23] But having a sort of a growly sense that goes
[00:19:27] Wow
[00:19:27] Wow
[00:19:29] That just is so kind of typical
[00:19:31] Is that what the instrument does
[00:19:32] Wow, yeah if you can see if you're watching
[00:19:35] You can see my hands go
[00:19:36] ROW
[00:19:37] Like a Venus flight ramp
[00:19:38] Yeah, yeah
[00:19:39] It really fingers
[00:19:40] Yeah
[00:19:42] And that just very much
[00:19:44] Like what I wanted to put into it
[00:19:47] And actually I tried making a few of those
[00:19:50] And there are a few that I sort of reused for other stuff
[00:19:53] But yeah
[00:19:55] It was always going to be the same thing as well
[00:19:58] Pretty much between like Alex says
[00:20:01] It sort of got three sketches or three scenes
[00:20:05] Essentially
[00:20:06] So it was always going to be because it's all happening
[00:20:08] The same location
[00:20:09] It's the same threat
[00:20:11] With zombies outside
[00:20:13] The door
[00:20:14] It was always going to be the same kind of music
[00:20:16] Doing the same sort of thing
[00:20:17] The grassing a little bit
[00:20:18] The music reporter
[00:20:19] But you play
[00:20:20] Oh yes, of course
[00:20:21] And right sort of giving the exposition of how this has
[00:20:26] Excessive things
[00:20:27] Yeah, accelerated and gone words
[00:20:29] Reminds me of night of the living dead
[00:20:31] Yes
[00:20:31] He just used to be doing
[00:20:33] But it's used to be
[00:20:34] Right totally totally
[00:20:36] Which in say I was like big that dawn
[00:20:39] But I mean
[00:20:39] Night of the day
[00:20:40] On the view of the red
[00:20:42] And actually I did listen to the night of the living dead
[00:20:46] Soundtrack quite a lot before like in in in preparation
[00:20:50] And that was quite simply
[00:20:51] And so
[00:20:53] As we get further
[00:20:55] So when we kind of get to I think is when we hit
[00:21:00] I know I'm in sense or I are throughout
[00:21:03] It is sort of base and then
[00:21:06] Drums
[00:21:07] Peppet in with a few cents
[00:21:09] But then when
[00:21:10] Ash played by Amelia
[00:21:12] It starts turning
[00:21:14] That's when the sort of synth start to kind of really
[00:21:16] Warball and just go very out of tune
[00:21:18] And start to really go night
[00:21:20] And then we also have a very fake sounding guitar
[00:21:22] Come here go
[00:21:23] Go
[00:21:24] Go
[00:21:24] Go
[00:21:25] And I was going to do like a more realistic
[00:21:29] Sounding guitar
[00:21:30] And I just found a preser
[00:21:31] That was this is very
[00:21:32] Shit sounding one
[00:21:33] And I just thought you know what
[00:21:34] This sounds great
[00:21:35] Because it just sounds just fake enough
[00:21:38] That it might have been used in like the
[00:21:39] 17s or 18s
[00:21:41] Right when you were doing that
[00:21:42] Did you
[00:21:43] Did you obviously read the scripts
[00:21:45] You had some idea
[00:21:47] But did you have to listen to
[00:21:50] The recording to get more of
[00:21:52] A idea or did you already have
[00:21:54] From the beginning like this is the kind of
[00:21:56] No
[00:21:57] I think because a lot of the music
[00:22:01] And Lisa's live was sort of seen change
[00:22:03] Music
[00:22:04] A lot of it wasn't
[00:22:06] Really to the
[00:22:08] To the actual recording
[00:22:10] To the actual episode
[00:22:11] Except when it gets to the
[00:22:13] Underscoring for Ash turning into a zombie
[00:22:16] And then I'm inviting
[00:22:18] Daniela's character
[00:22:20] Yeah
[00:22:21] That whole thing was very much made
[00:22:24] To the episode
[00:22:25] But everything else was just sort of
[00:22:27] Made
[00:22:29] Separate
[00:22:30] Because it sort of is
[00:22:31] It's just this sort of background
[00:22:33] Chugging along
[00:22:34] You know living each day
[00:22:36] Getting through each day kind of thing
[00:22:39] And
[00:22:40] Yeah
[00:22:40] So no there wasn't too much
[00:22:42] Listening to the episode
[00:22:42] There are the other episodes
[00:22:44] One more sort of
[00:22:47] Four that
[00:22:48] I remember when you sent across
[00:22:49] Because it was the first time we'd heard
[00:22:51] Like a finished episode
[00:22:53] Yeah
[00:22:53] And I was
[00:22:54] I lay I put on like
[00:22:58] Like blue to her phones
[00:22:59] Because it's like best quality
[00:23:00] I had and listened to
[00:23:03] What you'd sent over
[00:23:04] And I was just I was so giddly
[00:23:06] But the end of it
[00:23:07] It was just like
[00:23:07] Oh my god
[00:23:08] This is like
[00:23:09] Come to life
[00:23:10] It was just
[00:23:11] It was cool
[00:23:12] After we were worrying about
[00:23:14] Yeah
[00:23:14] Early issues that we'd had with it
[00:23:15] Yeah
[00:23:16] Just was like
[00:23:17] Oh my god
[00:23:18] This is
[00:23:19] We're wonderful
[00:23:20] Yes
[00:23:21] I do remember
[00:23:22] Putting extra effort
[00:23:23] Into getting that first one sounding
[00:23:25] Good
[00:23:26] Just so that we didn't listen to something
[00:23:27] That was a little bit better
[00:23:30] Drives
[00:23:30] The thing propells
[00:23:31] Right
[00:23:32] The soundtrack
[00:23:33] I mean yeah
[00:23:34] I mean we're you know
[00:23:35] With it being sort of that sort of
[00:23:38] perpetual tempo and drive
[00:23:41] It definitely does have this sort of momentum
[00:23:43] To it
[00:23:43] Despite the fact that you're just staying in one room
[00:23:46] But then I also remember
[00:23:47] Because we we we we we
[00:23:49] Originally had like we mentioned at the top of this
[00:23:51] We had umbrellas
[00:23:52] As the
[00:23:54] Trailer for that
[00:23:55] We kept umbrellas as the trailer
[00:23:57] For fish food
[00:23:57] The first episode that we released
[00:23:59] But umbrellas was the first trailer
[00:24:02] That I'd made
[00:24:03] Yes
[00:24:04] And that was
[00:24:05] Great
[00:24:06] And that just felt like
[00:24:06] It was very
[00:24:09] Sort of 80s
[00:24:11] Be movie trailer
[00:24:13] There's a lindrom
[00:24:15] Was a classic drum machine
[00:24:17] Doing the drums
[00:24:19] And just sort of very you know
[00:24:21] Just I think I just went into a lot of my sense
[00:24:24] And just typed in
[00:24:26] 70s
[00:24:27] 70s and 80s
[00:24:28] What have you got?
[00:24:29] And I collected them all
[00:24:30] And just later
[00:24:31] Then we'll go to each other
[00:24:32] The other thing as well
[00:24:34] Which
[00:24:35] I like to also talk about is the
[00:24:37] The editing of it
[00:24:38] Because I did the sort of rough edits
[00:24:40] And what was really fun
[00:24:42] Was you had this SFX package
[00:24:44] Which we've used
[00:24:46] Oh yeah
[00:24:46] It's got pretty much every
[00:24:48] Perfect
[00:24:49] Perfect
[00:24:50] Everything
[00:24:50] Think of it
[00:24:51] And lots of horror ones
[00:24:52] Which are brilliant
[00:24:53] But there was one package that was
[00:24:56] Well it was it was like splatter sound effects
[00:24:58] And I went through it
[00:25:00] There was one day
[00:25:02] In edit where
[00:25:03] I think I felt like I was going to go a bit mad
[00:25:05] Because I spent so long
[00:25:06] Listening to various
[00:25:09] Variations of the sounds of watermelons
[00:25:11] Being smashed open
[00:25:13] And oranges being squeezed
[00:25:15] To try and get
[00:25:16] The zombie
[00:25:18] Biting
[00:25:19] And just horrible like
[00:25:21] Gory sound effects
[00:25:23] Yeah
[00:25:24] And then it took
[00:25:25] It sounds great
[00:25:26] But
[00:25:27] It's quite astonishing how much time
[00:25:29] You can spend
[00:25:30] Listening to
[00:25:31] The sound
[00:25:32] For anyone there
[00:25:34] That doesn't know
[00:25:36] A lot of gore
[00:25:38] And bodies sort of horror sounds
[00:25:40] I've done with fruit and veg
[00:25:43] So
[00:25:45] Yeah
[00:25:45] I had this pack of
[00:25:48] Sort of one shot sounds of somebody
[00:25:50] Tearing into peppers
[00:25:52] More to melon
[00:25:53] I think oranges
[00:25:54] Another one
[00:25:56] Pastor for sort of breaking breaks
[00:25:59] And this is sort of tried and true
[00:26:01] Try and test it
[00:26:03] Much loved
[00:26:04] Methods
[00:26:05] Of getting body horror
[00:26:06] Sort of sounds
[00:26:07] And
[00:26:08] There are so many ways
[00:26:10] You can use it
[00:26:11] You know there's so so so so many ways
[00:26:13] And thankfully with the watermelon one
[00:26:15] I think that the guy who made them
[00:26:17] Does do
[00:26:19] Stabbing sound
[00:26:19] So he does actually stab
[00:26:22] And
[00:26:22] Yeah
[00:26:23] It's it's
[00:26:24] It's particular I think for
[00:26:25] The least of life you use this a little bit more
[00:26:27] That
[00:26:28] That
[00:26:29] You know we have a bit more stab
[00:26:31] Because the least of life
[00:26:32] Compared to the others
[00:26:33] So far
[00:26:34] But
[00:26:35] Stabbing
[00:26:37] The sound of stabbing
[00:26:40] Apparently when you get stabbed
[00:26:41] It's not painful
[00:26:42] When you go in as much as it is when it comes out
[00:26:45] I love the apparently
[00:26:47] I don't believe
[00:26:48] I don't believe the apparently
[00:26:50] I think
[00:26:52] Yeah
[00:26:52] I just full of the bodies
[00:26:56] Yeah, I know I hurt
[00:26:58] Yeah, I've hurt
[00:26:59] When the light goes out in their eyes
[00:27:02] This smile
[00:27:03] As you know
[00:27:04] That's your handball
[00:27:06] But similarly
[00:27:07] So the sound of a knife puncturing
[00:27:11] Is very different to the slice of it coming out
[00:27:14] Of not just you know a human body
[00:27:17] But of a watermelon
[00:27:18] Supply to it
[00:27:19] So in our sort of world building
[00:27:21] We've created this action movie
[00:27:24] Hero called Gastro bistro
[00:27:27] Who plays a character called Bastion Quirk
[00:27:30] And it's just
[00:27:33] It's like the kind of
[00:27:34] On the hero of action heroes
[00:27:37] And he is voiced by
[00:27:40] Our good friend and brilliant
[00:27:42] Comedy actor
[00:27:43] What actor generally
[00:27:44] Richard Somes
[00:27:46] What was brilliant was
[00:27:47] He did the American character
[00:27:52] We went for it
[00:27:53] But he also did it as like a sort of Jason
[00:27:55] Statham
[00:27:55] I think it was like an option
[00:27:58] But he also
[00:28:02] He improvised
[00:28:03] Some one liners
[00:28:05] That actually ended up in the trailer
[00:28:06] Because they were better than
[00:28:07] Because he's funny
[00:28:08] Some of them were fighting for me
[00:28:09] So so funny
[00:28:11] So yeah, there's a blind teacher
[00:28:12] And also the reason I was a rose
[00:28:14] It's for Richard
[00:28:15] Because Richard is a teacher
[00:28:18] So the idea of doing this supply teacher
[00:28:21] I basically wrote that character for it
[00:28:24] Because I wanted to get Richard involved somehow
[00:28:26] And that was the way to do it
[00:28:28] And now
[00:28:31] We're just going to keep bringing back gastro臉
[00:28:33] These shows
[00:28:35] In various trailers
[00:28:37] And that kind of adds to the whole
[00:28:40] The sort of world building
[00:28:41] We're doing a very as character
[00:28:42] The coming back to the end
[00:28:44] Yeah, keep coming up
[00:28:45] Throughout the series
[00:28:46] Which I like
[00:28:47] And I have a good knowledge that listeners
[00:28:49] Like
[00:28:52] That's something they particularly
[00:28:54] Like I'm told that they sort of like
[00:28:56] Yeah, it was not goodness
[00:28:58] Yeah, mythology
[00:28:59] Yeah, the romance
[00:29:01] The romance
[00:29:02] Yeah, watch out
[00:29:03] Yeah, watch out
[00:29:04] What that's in
[00:29:05] But
[00:29:06] But again, that's a blind teacher
[00:29:08] It was again
[00:29:09] Just that thing of
[00:29:11] Ridiculous lines
[00:29:12] That mean nothing
[00:29:14] And just as a puns
[00:29:15] Loads of school puns
[00:29:16] School puns
[00:29:17] That's like joy
[00:29:17] I mean certainly I remember the part of the cafe
[00:29:19] Scrubbling was just coming up
[00:29:21] Oh my god
[00:29:22] Terrific or outrageous
[00:29:24] Or very derivative
[00:29:27] Yeah, yeah
[00:29:28] Yeah, yeah
[00:29:28] It's just right for throwing in lots of gangs
[00:29:31] I think I pitched that the bell's not for you
[00:29:34] Bell's not for you
[00:29:35] Bell's for you
[00:29:37] It's just yeah
[00:29:38] And I
[00:29:39] I had a great time editing that
[00:29:42] Yeah
[00:29:43] Or the sound effects for that
[00:29:44] Because it was just finding
[00:29:44] Scrolling through it just loads different guns
[00:29:46] Yeah, yeah
[00:29:48] Sort of whipping and everything like that
[00:29:49] You can't go wrong with machine guns
[00:29:51] Ha ha ha ha
[00:29:53] All right
[00:29:53] The sweet
[00:29:54] I've got the tattoo of a machine gun
[00:29:56] But
[00:29:57] It's not the going
[00:29:58] It's when you put it out
[00:30:00] It's when you see
[00:30:01] You've been there after
[00:30:03] That's when it apparently
[00:30:04] Oh, yeah
[00:30:05] You know you for your f**k
[00:30:07] It's aroused
[00:30:07] But yeah
[00:30:08] So salmon eye would essentially just come up with one
[00:30:12] Like title
[00:30:13] Or like right
[00:30:15] Because like okay
[00:30:15] That's going to be a train
[00:30:16] Spend down to something
[00:30:17] Yeah, exactly
[00:30:18] But then we gave it to you
[00:30:20] And you created this amazing
[00:30:21] Backing music for it
[00:30:24] It's like a proper action movie
[00:30:25] It's a big sound
[00:30:27] You're trying to hybrid
[00:30:28] Because I think
[00:30:29] Yeah, it sort of starts off
[00:30:30] Very sexy
[00:30:31] There is one bit
[00:30:32] There is very sexy
[00:30:34] But then it goes into like sort of
[00:30:36] A kind of thrash metal
[00:30:37] Which
[00:30:38] I don't know
[00:30:40] I can't
[00:30:41] I just thought that would be funny
[00:30:44] And just having
[00:30:45] You know a metal drum kit
[00:30:48] During this sort of like
[00:30:49] Drunk
[00:30:50] Shhh
[00:30:51] I don't know
[00:30:52] It was just something
[00:30:53] This sort of double kick pedal
[00:30:55] Thrash metal
[00:30:56] Famous just sound
[00:30:57] That just sport
[00:30:57] Because because also
[00:30:59] Because that ended up being
[00:31:01] The last episode in the release
[00:31:03] Yes
[00:31:05] There was something very funny to me
[00:31:07] And starting
[00:31:07] Because the music does start
[00:31:10] Very sort of 80s
[00:31:12] Synthy
[00:31:12] Very traditional sort of horror
[00:31:14] Kind of chords
[00:31:15] And then you
[00:31:16] And then you hear the
[00:31:19] The revving of the motor cycle
[00:31:21] Come in
[00:31:22] And it
[00:31:22] Yeah
[00:31:24] With throwing a guitar
[00:31:25] Which I think is actually a synth
[00:31:27] But just driven through a guitar ramp
[00:31:29] And it's me just playing it
[00:31:31] With my little pitch band thing
[00:31:33] And then it just sort of
[00:31:35] Devolved
[00:31:35] Because I think it's our longest trailer
[00:31:36] As well
[00:31:37] So it just keeps going into
[00:31:40] Weird places
[00:31:40] And I just knew
[00:31:41] Whether being centered around the gates of hell
[00:31:44] It's like a throwaway comment in the trailer
[00:31:47] Yeah
[00:31:47] So I just thought
[00:31:48] Well, I mean that is
[00:31:49] You know where we bring in the
[00:31:51] The tri-tone
[00:31:52] The devil's interval
[00:31:54] The chugging guitars
[00:31:55] And bass
[00:31:56] I'll play that
[00:31:57] Back and forth
[00:31:58] Again, it's one of those things
[00:31:59] We're just a listening beam
[00:32:00] Like what
[00:32:01] What film it's
[00:32:02] What the hell is happening in this film
[00:32:04] And again, the other thing that
[00:32:06] Also forgot to mention
[00:32:07] It's like
[00:32:08] So I'm always doing the voiceover
[00:32:10] And I just love all the different
[00:32:12] With various play-in-the-horror films
[00:32:14] All the different types of voiceovers
[00:32:16] You get
[00:32:17] Where it'd be like
[00:32:18] It's Jar Jar and Mero's
[00:32:20] Darn, nothing dead
[00:32:21] The boy
[00:32:21] It's like
[00:32:22] And the animals
[00:32:23] Are they right here?
[00:32:25] They're Karra
[00:32:25] There is a
[00:32:26] Or you know, all the
[00:32:27] Or the supply team
[00:32:28] I mean, that was directly from
[00:32:30] A trailer
[00:32:31] I can still
[00:32:32] It was the lizard
[00:32:33] The woman in the lizard skin
[00:32:35] Yeah, it's yeah
[00:32:36] There is a film that's a
[00:32:39] A load of jallotrailins
[00:32:40] But there's also
[00:32:41] If you go to YouTube
[00:32:42] You can encounter quite a few
[00:32:44] Of these trailers
[00:32:45] And they always have fucking blind
[00:32:48] And it's so funny
[00:32:49] And also they say
[00:32:50] They say the title
[00:32:52] So many times
[00:32:54] And we just wanted to really
[00:32:55] Rant-babs
[00:32:56] And what was happening
[00:32:56] To go into the supply team
[00:32:57] But some like
[00:32:59] The power
[00:33:00] And the power
[00:33:00] And the power
[00:33:01] I mean, building isn't really a thing for them
[00:33:03] Because they start on fucking terms
[00:33:05] Yeah, it's just awesome
[00:33:07] I'm in the end now
[00:33:08] And the animals are erotic
[00:33:11] Horror
[00:33:13] Well, wasn't it nice to have
[00:33:15] Three men talking to each other
[00:33:16] An honest, erotic
[00:33:18] No, informative
[00:33:19] Probably
[00:33:20] But I have burdened news
