Hello, my name's Simon Brew. I'm the editor of Film Stories magazine and a very warm welcome to the film stories podcast.

Come with me.

And I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

And movies. Movies that had stories.

That the story just sucks a man.

This is just the beginning.

There are stories. We would be honored if you would join us.

Hello and a very warm welcome to Film Stories with Simon Brew.

I am Simon Brew, as always.

That's absolutely all you need to know about me.

Turn to the podcast, what we're here to do is the title suggests, is just that talk about stories of films. So I talk about development stories, production

stories, behind the scenes, bits and barbs, and all those little bits and things that go towards

making the films that we know and sometimes love, the films that we know and sometimes love.

The films I tend to choose have a bit of a mainstream leaning to them. I also don't tend as a rule to pick films I'm not

that keen. I have to be interested in them to some degree, although in a little bit of an

exception to the rule, I'm not massively keen on the two films that I'm talking about in this

episode of film stories, although I am really quite interested in both. I think both of them

have interesting merits to them. I think both them have interesting stories to them. They just

fell for differing reasons, just a little bit short. I'm going to start in 2017. I'm going to do quite a recent one for me, really.

I'm going to play you a clip and then I'll come back to it. I start telling the story the other side of

this.

You hear that?
