Hello, this is 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 join us hello and a very warm welcome to film stories with simon brew i am simon brew that's everything you need to

know about me the aim of the podcast well we're here as the title suggests as always talk of the stories of film so if you're new to the podcast what i tend to know about me. The aim of the podcast, well, we're here as the title suggests, as always,

talk of the stories of films. So if you're new to the podcast, what I tend to talk about is

development stories, production stories, marketing stories, release stories, any kind of nichey

little bits really that go to make the films that we know and love, just that, the films that

we generally know and love. And I really do like the two films

that I'm covering in this episode of the podcast. The films I should point out that I do tend

to choose have a mainstream leaning. I'm a huge Kevin Costner fan as well. So he pops up from time

to time as he does again in this week's episode. I don't do snark. I'm looking

for the positive stuff. I don't always cover films that I absolutely love, but I do try and find

the stories within them, you know, the films that I don't like might be someone else's

favourite films, so I don't really want to be putting lots of poison into the world. No need for any

such disclaimer this time because I'm talking about two very different films

but two that are successes very much in their own way.

I'm going to start with a clip from the first of those two.

I'm going back to 1991.
