The Pretend Room | Mitchell and Webb

Currently Playing: Pretend Room #15: All the Possible Stories Ever Written | Mitchell and Webb

David Mitchell and Robert Webb return to the Pretend Room to unpack Matrix the Play and the Horror Film Promo. Along the way, they reveal the actor impression behind the Matrix sketch, discuss why actors struggling to perform simple tasks will always be funny and question whether modern culture has completely run out of new stories. The conversation inevitably drifts into Hamnet, Maggie O’Farrell, spoilers, serious sitcom moments and David’s brutally specific criticism of Between the Covers. They eventually return to the sketches to explain why pretending to be sick can be comedy gold, provided it is done with a little class. #BigTalkStudios #MitchellandWebb #PretendRoom #comedypodcast Don't miss a video!

Expect wild tangents, unnecessary analysis, and the kind of commentary that’s only slightly more helpful than the show itself.
