Episode 33: Mandeep Singh/Octopussy In Boots 

IMDp is an improvised interview podcast. Every week Martina Minnow interviews a director about their upcoming film, except the film doesn’t exist and they create it together through their conversation. Also joining Martina each week are our resident improvisers who create cutaway scenes and clips from the films discussed. However...

until she introduces them, only Martina knows the guests name and the name of their movie. The  guest and team are kept in the dark until we press record. 

IMDp will be recording two live episodes at the Miller, on Thursday 31st March. Where we will be joined by Guest Directors: Monica Gaga & Susan Harrison.
