Sorry for the lateness of this post — and, if you’re a Shiny Things subscriber, for the dearth of newsletters in the last week or so. Family stuff. None of it good. We’re working through it. How are you doing?
I did manage to release an episode of Someone Else’s Movie on Tuesday, though, and it’s a good one: Australian director Robert Connolly, maker of Paper Planes, The Dig and the brand-new Blueback, which is now available on digital and on demand across North America, checked in to talk about wandering into Vincent Ward’s brilliant fantasy The Navigator: A Medieval Odyssey at exactly the right time in his artistic development, and how Ward’s time-travel fever dream knocked him on his ass, picked him back up again and set him on a whole new path. We cover a lot in this episode, and it all flows along wonderfully, and I hope you have fun listening in.
Find it in all the usual spots: You can subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher and/or Spotify, or download it directly from the web like some 14th-century friar who’s only just discovered the counting machine. And then stand calmly by your inbox for this week’s Shiny Things; I promise it’s on the way.
