“don’t clap my tears” such a British thing to say

[@KayfabeKarl]

The Dame Diana Rigg story is incredible, nearly had me welling up with him saying that you could tell she was saying goodbye but he didn't want to

[@notmyrealname453]

I never thought these two would ever meet. Russell, my favorite comedian, and Edgar, my favorite director. This is some stars aligning for me.

[@harryhello4329]

i was just thinking the same

[@kiriakoz]

Russell’s your favourite comedian in the world? Wow. I like him, but can’t fathom that.

[@duderyandude9515]

Absolutely! I have never clicked so fast. I love Russell and Edgar is my favourite director.

[@BathedInMilk]

Two ads interrupted that beautiful moment of him describing his final words to Diana Rigg. I hate KZbin.

[@Richard_Jones]

Dunno how you do it on a phone but its really easy on a laptop to download an adblocker like ABP. Five minutes, no ads.

[@JargonMadjin]

Diana sounds like she was a super fun person to hang out with

[@Jackspiring]

My favourite director. Being interviewed by my favourite comedian growing up (tastes change but i’m still here so must like him)

[@kimtate4501]

What a fantastic talent. Directors all around the world love his work. His fast paced slick look. His knowledge of culture and what matters in storytelling. Edger do get in contact babe

[@JaydevRaol]

Wow! Good to see Edgar as a Guest. 😃

[@jenieuwedocent]

I do understand why, but I'm still bummed out that we didn't see his vision on Ant-man.

[@JordanJLyon]

Would have been up there with Guardians 1

[@boogeh3630]

Oh ....I thought he wrote and directed Ant-Man damn....

[@LJComposer]

Being from the west country myself, I wasn't that surprised to find out that my English teacher went to school with Edgar!

[@ethanduckworth6634]

Amazing director, Shaun of the Dead is one of my favourite movies ever.

[@thecinematicmind]

Now this is what I have been waiting for.

[@notmyrealname453]

I found out about you through Cinematic Venom. I never thought I’d see you here.

[@thecinematicmind]

@@notmyrealname453 Been watching Russell Howard for years. Even saw him introduced The Royal Tenenbaums in London.

[@SiTheMon777]

What a lovely bloke

[@skinnymac2411]

Amazing guest, amazing movies !!

[@RobVespa]

💙 Edgar Wright's work!

[@bodyheat1990]

you're a funny and charismatic guy, but i'm happy that you're a real, down to earth person when you really care and it's better to not act. love you Russell!

[@AronT260]

Literal hero

[@Ur_Least_favorite_Friend]

This is great

[@Ur_Least_favorite_Friend]

Wait….I’m first?!!???!!?

[@rover_libra]

Whoop! Whoop! Edgar!

[@isitfashion]

He's adorbs

[@juliekim738]

I went to Ecolint and Cornell. Shaun of the Dead is one of my favorite horror films. Edgar Wright has an incredible fake interview with Jonah Hill.

[@milligan8838]

Be good if Jonathan Ross interviewed Edgar....his ‘Incredibly Strange Film Show’ set him off on his journey

[@jwec9867]

Two more pieces of trivia about the Zombie extras in Shaun of the Dead: 1.) Extras were paid £1 for their part. 2.) Chris Martin (singer of Coldplay) is one of the Zombies.

[@tedlanz5038]

Apparently the Chris Martin as a Zombie is a myth. He did not show up as a Zombie but he did show up in the film towards the end where he was helping out in a charity called ZombAid.

[@jwec9867]

@@tedlanz5038 I'm sure I've seen the specific zombie he plays. Maybe he played himself for zombaid and a random zombie. I remember seeing the Zombaid too.

[@shikarifox4337]

Apparently Russell played a zombie too.

[@jwec9867]

@@shikarifox4337 I've heard that and I've also heard that people mistook Chris Martin for Russell Howard. So, I don't know which is true there. If they are both in it or just Chris Martin.

[@shikarifox4337]

@@jwec9867 To be honest the zombie in the distance that they do the back and forth with sounds like Russell with the groans.

@ 3:30 Edgar's hair adjusts psychically?

[@davidlance5310]

His new movie is either his turning point in directing or a victim of studio interference

[@user-zh4vo1kw1z]

That's been true of more or less every movie of his :p

[@Jackspiring]

The Sparks Brothers? I think that was a passion project of his he loves music and no one told the tale

[@davidlance5310]

@@Jackspiring I mean this new movie

[@hilarylannan9657]

He seems to do a fair amount of genre hoping. I also think he has enough clout to be able to call the shots, I'm sure there's a small amount of studio interference but I'm feel confident that this is mostly his vision.

[@davidlance5310]

@@hilarylannan9657 just seen Last Night in Soho. It’s a mess story-wise

[@toastedroast]

I'm only watching part 1 of this show, It's not the same, Just 1 segment of comedic look back of the week :( It was that which made the show Good

First time you been to the cinema since Covid? Oh Please! I bet you are double jabbed also! I have been 8 times in the past 2 months and I am not double jabbed...

Well he is 41 but some people may not know that
