As the title suggests, this is the first one of these. The plan is that an episode will be going out every fortnight.

This episode's film is Stalker, directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. It stars Aleksandr Kaydanovskiy, Anatoliy Solonitsyn, and Nikolay Grinko.

The first ten minutes or so of the podcast are non-spoilery but from then on EXPECT SPOILERS.  

My guest is the most excellent Lyn Setchell.

Many thanks to Owen Choules and Chris Mead of Classic Schmassic for their inspiration (and let's face it, essentially their format).
