Aidan Goatley's 10 Films With? Podcast, Sweet Novotel, Edinburgh Fringe

A spin off from Goatley's long running hit show, 10 Films With My Dad, a podcast in which Aidan interviews a fellow comedian about their own 10 significant movies.  And, appropriately, he's recording 10 of these in front of a live Fringe audience.

Today (22 August) it was Simon Jay, who's one man show Trumpageddon has been playing to large audiences.  Coming, like Goatley, from a script writing background, his reasoning for his choices was interesting.  So top of the list came Mrs Doubtfire, partly from his love of Robin Williams and Sally Field, but mostly because he reckons it's such a perfectly structured and well written film.  His other selections were even more eclectic, with many in the "so bad it's good" category, like the horror film Island of Death.  Or Ed wood, a film about a man who made terrible movies.  You get the picture.  Jay was never predictable, and a lot of fun, with Goatley getting the best out of him.  A very entertaining hour.

Aidan Goatley's 10 Films With.... is on in Sweet Novotel at 12.00 until 24 August.
