We talk to Carl Newman - Professionally-trained dancer who was the 'Movement Double' for Michael Keaton in the 1989 blockbuster feature film 'BATMAN'. The movie industry is full of secrets and one that would have wowed our younger selves would be learning that shots of Batman in the iconic Tim Burton movie where not Michael Keaton but in fact Carl Newman. Carl shares his journey from rural Leicestershire to Pinewood Studios in the late 80s where he spent eleven incredible weeks as the caped crusader. Through Tim Burton's vision, Carl was able to bring that to screen in the batsuit to shape one of the all time greatest superhero movies ever made.

We talk to Bob Lindenmayer - Writer & Director of Making Megaforce. We all have those films we saw whilst growing up which have such an effect on who we are, what we became or they just simply stay with us and evoke such a warm feeling. For Bob Lindenmayer it was the 1982 Sci Fi Action epic Megaforce. Despite totally bombing at the Box Office, Megaforce meant something to the young Bob and came along at just the right time in his life. His documentary, Making Megaforce, is not only his tribute to the making of and history of this film but also a heartwarming story of friendship and how meeting your heroes can sometimes be a dream come true.
