Hi there, Alex here :)

Welcome to the second episode of Required Reading: A Film Podcast.

I thank you personally for downloading this podcast and being part of this book-club-but-with-films idea. I just think that we should look for the opportunity to connect with each other in alternative ways sometimes, and this is my attempt at doing something like that. 

Let me know what you thought on twitter @alxalxalx - Dan is there as well @MrPointyHead

DOWNLOAD NOW to hear Dan and I react to the jack-in-the-box du jour The Cloverfield Paradox. We also talk Star Wars news and share some of our other VOD picks. 

 The "Required Reading: A Film Podcast" Manifesto

1. All main discussion films to be chosen from either Netflix or Amazon Video

2. We’ll let you know via @MrPointyHead & @alxalxalx so you have time to watch

3. Share your thoughts and questions for us to discuss

4. Feel free to suggest our next film – tell us why you chose it

5. Discussion will be thorough, so be sure to watch before you listen!

The inaug-aural episode of Required Reading: A Film Podcast.

Friends Alex and Dan (attempt to) recreate the quintessential post-film, “So, what did you think?” conversation in podcast form, and invite our fellow ‘readers’ to join in.

The first film to fall under our critical gaze is Paul Verhoeven's 'Elle', starring Isabelle Huppert.
