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 would join us hello and a very warm welcome to film stories with simon brew i am simon brew as always that's

absolutely everything you need to know about me but the podcast well, well, as the title suggests, we're here to

talk of the stories of films. So if you're here for the first time, welcome. If you're

returning, welcome to. I talk about production stories, development stories, release stories,

behind the scenes, bits and bobs and all those things that go to make the films we know and

sometimes love just that, the films that we know and sometimes love.

A bit of a mix bag of movies for this episode. I cover two films per episode usually. They're films

that with the mainstream leaning that I tend to be invested or interested in to some degree. I do

not do snark and I make no apology for that. There's lots of other places you can get snark if

that's what you're hunting for. But if you're here to talk about the stories of films, well, settle down.

I'm going to play you a clip from the first of the two films that I'm going to talk about in this

episode and then we'll just crack on. Here's that clip.

Peter, you're going to want to see us.

Oscorner. Yet you under surveillance.

Why? Isn't that the question of the day? Nothing is what I thought it was.

I once told you that secrets have a cost.

The truth does too.
