📢In the interview “𝑫𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝑹𝒐𝒄𝒌'𝒏'𝑹𝒐𝒍𝒍 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒔?” Brian had been asked about this movie.
“Which 2005 film featured “Pure morning” on its soundtrack?
𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐍: “Is it a Spanish film? I think it was directed by Bigas Luna.”
WRONG. It was “The Chumscrubber”.
𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐍: “NO! We were in “The Chumscrubber”!? I've seen that film, I didn't even fucking realise! I'm holding the DVD in my hands right now. I'm gonna have to go back and watch that again. It's a film with Jamie Bell and Ralph Fiennes and Carrie-Ann Moss, an American indie film. You got me, you bastard!”
