Writer/Director Conor O\'Toole dropped by to talk about a film he watched "a million" times as a child, Fly Away Home. Fly Away Home is a classic \'girl and her father fly light aircraft across international borders to teach orphaned geese how to migrate\' story. Jeff Daniels and Anna Paquin are in it. It looks gorgeous and deserves to be part of our nostalgia canon. The talk leads us onto other things like how Conor\'s relationship to the film now that he\'s the Jeff Daniels, how we talk to our animals, the Steven Universe film, and Conor\'s new film Bicycle Thieves: Pumped Up which is at the Galway Film Fleadh from July 22nd to 25th.

PS. There are some dog barks and other assorted animal noises in this one because Alan had to leave his office door open because it was SO WARM. Future listeners, remember the First Warm? This was then. There were a lot more dog barks in it but Alan spent ages editing them out. Sorry if the remaining barks affect your enjoyment of the episode.
