  • Excellent first episode

    Really enjoyed being able to watch the movie then hear first hand how it came to be. Which parts of this true story are direct reenactments, which parts were adjusted. Which parts were chosen to give more or less focus. And how those decisions were made during writing & production etc. Much like the Chernobyl podcast and other similar companion pieces. Looking forward to hearing more.
