Michael is a director and you'll find links to his various works below - like Brass Eye, Oxide Ghosts and King Rocker. Come and see me chat to Michael and Stew in Birmingham after the King Rocker <a href=\"https://macbirmingham.co.uk/event/king-rocker-q-a\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">screening on Jul 28</a>. I might ask Michael if he'll direct my movie. Maybe.</p><p><br></p><p>Austen Tasseltine, Ted Maul and Moss Staples were sadly unavailable to contribute to this episode.
