Happy New Year film fans.

How are you? I hope you well.

I hope you are a wonderful, wonderful festive season,

whether that was full of parties or whether it was really chilled.

However you chose to spend your time, I hope you feel ready to step into a new year with

positivity, I guess, optimism. It's always kind of nice to have a bit of a restart, isn't it?

And kind of encouraged to go, deep breath, let's go. So I wish you all the luck, wish all your dreams come true in this year ahead,

and I look forward to sharing with you some wonderful conversations around film and music on

this podcast as we continue into a brand new year. We're so lucky that we've had the chance to share

so many great conversations with you,

both with lots of well-known names, but also with a lot of names that might not be familiar to you.

But for us, it's about really celebrating our love and us as fans of films and music.

So that's kind of where it always comes from for soundtracking. It's not

about, we're not critics. We don't want to tell you what you should watch, when you should

watch it, what you should think about something. We're film fans. We're fans of the music.

We're fans of the films and that's kind of what we want to share with you is our enthusiasm for

it. So I hope that comes across. Now, having chatted to Daniel Quake on the podcast a couple of weeks ago,

I hope you've had the chance to listen back to that

because I thoroughly enjoyed that conversation.

And thank you for all the lovely response that we've had to that as well.

I'm delighted to share my conversation with Ryan Johnson,

the writer and director of Glass Onion and Knife Out Mystery,
