And I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

And movies. Movies. Movies that had stories.

That the story just sucks a man.

This is just the beginning.

We would be honored if you would join us.

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

The aim of the podcast though, well, as the title suggests, I'm here to talk of the stories

of films and I tend to talk about development stories, productions, stories, behind the scenes

stories, just bits and bobs really that go to make the films that we know and sometimes

love, just that, the films that we know and sometimes love the films i tend to

choose to this podcast and more of a mainstream leaning than anything else they're films i'm interested in

or invested in to some degree i try not to punch down i try not really to do snark either instead

the podcast if anything is here to celebrate the fact that it's really hard to make a film and

you know applause to the people who hard to make a film and for you know

applause to the people who managed to do it yet alone films that go on to become festive

favourites as we're going to talk about in this particular episode this particular episode well
