Since film is one of the most expensive art forms known to man, it's rare that you see a movie

So if you're not currently on our list, I'd love for you to sign up over at backstory.net

slash events. It's free to sign up over at backstory.net slash events.

It's free to sign up and you'll get emails from us when there's an event in person.

Hopefully one day I hope we'll return to those, but for now virtually.

And you could join for free and watch the movie for free and get access to the podcast

before the rest of the world because it is tagged right into the end of
