James Acaster

Because that's her character's name in Eternal Sunshine.

Stop it!

that's the deal no I think even if she brings it up you should say we're not allowed to talk about that oh come on look we are so I don't know if you've worked it out we're so excited to have Kate Winslet on the podcast yeah just beyond excited it's crazy yeah Ed's moved his flight I've moved my flight to Bergen of course because he's excited I would move you know I'd move heaven and earth to interview Kate Winslet yeah I'm very excited about this Ed this is it's going to be dream come true dream come true

Right, well, let's get her on the pod.

This is the off-menu menu of Kate Winslet.

Welcome, Kate, to the Dream Restaurant.

Oh, it's very nice.

Yeah.

I don't think actors call it throat tips.

Vocal training?

You just make it part of the character.

It's nice to have a sort of sanctioned reason to do that, right?

You can just have a good old scream at people.

There's a lot of improvisation in that film.

I'm glad you've brought this film up, Kate, because I had to message James when we confirmed that you were coming in and say, don't only talk about Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, because he will talk about it for a whole episode with a guest who's not been involved in the film at all.

Oh, it is a good one.

Why?

He's gone quiet.

Yeah, because he's excited.

He can't wait.
