Summary

As we all know, The Moon Under Water only exists audibly (and on social media in the form of short-form video content, but for the purposes of this let's ignore that). It's impossible to capture just exactly what the Correct Realm looks like; which would make things very difficult should we option the film rights to everyone's favourite 'Pub of the Mind'. However, if we were to go ahead and create a feature length film about the history of The Moon Under Water we know who we'd want to direct it, and they just so happen to be our guest this week. It's BAFTA winning director Jon S. Baird!

Jon is known for directing some absolutely incredible films, including 'Filth', 'Stan & Ollie' and 'Tetris'. But before he headed to Hollywood, Jon cut his teeth working alongside the very Landlord and regular that look after The Moon Under Water. Will we hear about their pub escapades from back in the day? Maybe. Will we discover what the likes of Errol Flynn and James Cagney enjoyed drinking on set? Probably not. Are you invited for the journey? Absolutely.

If you want to contact the Landlord, you can send us an email; [email protected].
