Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) joins us this week for a humble and grounded conversation about the rise in his career from indie movie hits to massive blockbusters, all the while trying to mitigate the ‘black dog’ of depression following him.

Simon talks about his brotherhood with Nick Frost, how they drop everything to have each others back, and the origins of Three Flavours Cornetto.

We also talk about the Tom Cruise effect while filming, going from class clown to actor, and his most valuable acting advice from Jeff Bridges.

It truly warms my heart that Simon and Nick are really the best of friends.

Simon Pegg getting Timothy Dalton to play the main bad guy in Hot Fuzz is the best. That film to this day is just hilarious and the heavy weights with the English actors he got is quite impressive.

There are few things in life more beautiful and soothing than Simon Pegg's voice!

Don't sell yourself short Michael. Your interviews are always insightful and entertaining.
I hope you're on the mend following your surgery.

@starks1974 1 year ago

Hot Fuzz is one of the most brilliant moves with all of the subtle humor, movie references and each character is clearly defined.

Shawn of the Dead...Greatest zombie movie EVER!

@jefffortney4261 1 year ago

I'm not a fan of zombie movies but "Shaun of the Dead" is AWESOME! I'm a big Simon Pegg fan and love "Hot Fuzz" and "The World's End"!

Always remember that Spaced was written by Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson. She usually gets forgotten.

"Just growl... And hug me"

Words to live by.

Excellent interview... * Switches off phone, digs Spaced boxset out of cabinet, inserts DVD 1 and presses play *

@Kaitschi 1 year ago

Hot Fuzz ... one of the best Comedies ever made.

@kJ922-h3j 1 year ago

Shaun Of The Dead is genius and then, after at least 5 watches, somehow Hot Fuzz is even better!

@xdragonladyx 1 year ago

Great interview! I love Simon Pegg. I hope you are recovering well Michael.

@dominique9187 1 year ago

How can you not like this guy? An hour with him feels like a minute, may he and Nick Frost never take their wonderful friendship for granted - even if Nick becomes his girlfriend one day😄 It's always fun to hear you guys talking about Carrie Fisher (and Chewacca, how dare you speak like a human ? 🤣). Take care of yourself Michael, let's hope this upcoming surgery gives you some relief 🙏

@PismoParzival 1 year ago

Thank you Rosenbaum. I enjoyed being inside of Simon Pegg. Well played.

@Brook11223 1 year ago

The Pegg man as a guest this is going to be funny, witty, dry humor and serious. He can do it all.

@entertainingCed 1 year ago

so glad i found your interviews. they aren't the typical interviews you find everywhere else. keep up the great work. Simon Pegg is a legend to me. he's put in the work and has proven his range. so humble and amazing. hope to meet him one day.

@JestersDead_UK 1 year ago

Hot Fuzz is actually well known for being a PERFECT movie… much like Mario Kart for the SNES is the PERFECT game without fault.

@EmilyKresl 1 year ago

Simon's autobiography is the best memoir I've ever read and I've read a ton of them . Thank you Simon for letting Lex deep inside of you. I mean Michael.
