Episode 1 The Staircase

Documentary Film Podcast — Fri, 08 Jun 2018 06:46:35 +0000

Fellow documentary fans, We just love documentaries. The Staircase was released on Netflix Ireland today and we tell you why you have to see it. As we hadn't planned to talk about The Staircase, we recorded this pilot episode without any research or fact-checking. It's just a taste of what the show is about. Spoiler alerts abound from 9.45, we then discuss the series in detail so you really should watch it first or pause at that point. With over 300 documentaries on our current list, this is just one of many. Let us know your favourites and we'll gladly add them. Oh, and for our 2 potential listeners (we reckon we may only have 2) we recorded this on a couch in a garden, hence the birdsong in the background.
