Episode 1:
All questions in this episode will relate to movies that were the first in their franchise. For our purposes a franchise consists of three or more films for example Pirates of the Caribbean or The Lord of the Rings. The question can be anything to do with the movie, as long as the movie was the first within the series.

Each of our 8 members will take a turn reading the 10 questions they have prepared for this week. All other members attempt to answer them. The audio is available for download/listening here on celluloidering.com or free from the iTunes store.

Answers are also in “Full Post” at the bottom of the page, so please scroll down carefully if you wish to avoid them.
