Get ready for an extremely serious episode. Mattie somehow managed to get cinematic visionary Brendan Steere, the director of the greatest film of all time, on the show. That's right folks, we're coming at you with an in-depth discussion of the ineffable, transcendent intricacies of 2017's THE VELOCIPASTOR.
A hallmark of 21st-century filmmaking -- indeed, of filmmaking as a whole -- Steere's mythical masterwork captures the essence of cinema in the very subtlest of ways. How did Steere create his magnum opus? How did Steere bring a millenia-old Velociraptor to life? How did Steere cure all mankind of its ills with a single film? Listen to this episode and you will know the answers to these questions, and so much more.

Perhaps best known for his Macbeth (2015), starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard, Justin's filmography explores fascinating male psyches that ripple through space and time. Hence his new film, True History of the Kelly Gang, with a fabulous George MacKay as the diabolical Ned Kelly.

Bait is a story about the struggles of a local community in Cornwall, through the eyes of Martin, a fisherman without a boat, coming into conflict with his brother, his community, and the forces of middle-class gentrification.
We talk with Mark about Bait’s story, its themes, its cast, the unique potential of the form of film, and so much more.
