Welcome, welcome, this is The Straction Pieces Podcast episode 549 and it's the first guest of the year.

Thank you for all the love for the first episode of the year, which is always the films of the year

episode that got a lot of love from you guys. I had a few people ask if I'm going to do a TV shows of the year episode

because last year I did that with John and Joel from Dream Factory Podcast and I've just got so many guests lined up at the moment that I wasn't able to fit it in but if I can now those two guys down I might do one kind of end of Jan beginning the feeb
