Episode 1 up and running - Huzzah!

Due to various hi-jinks and shenanigans, the first episode is finally up and running. There was a pilot stage where the show was up but in an unfinished form for testing purposes. Now it's live.

It's a good show, a nice starting point. We talk about a lot of our basic ideas about film making and make a few broad, bigoted and sweeping statements about the film business. Okay so we can talk, we have our own show so we can say anything we like, but do we know what we are talking about?

Well yeah, we work in the business, myself training film and TV technicians and Matt is the founder of a company which makes groundbreaking previz software. We eat sleep and drink films. And we are very angry that we don't get to make more films, so we sublimate some of this formless anger into criticism of the work of others. Cool huh?
