Welcome along to the first ever Sidepodfilmclub evening. As there is no live show this week, we didn't want to leave you without entertainment, and thought it would be fun to watch a film together. Although we have done a few small trials of live commenting TV shows in the daily threads, this is the first time we are trying to be organised about something. It's going to be brilliant.

We've chosen a motorsport related film for the evening, although I'm afraid I have to admit it does involve NASCAR. It seems to have quite a few fans in the comments, though, who have been quoting the film all week since we first suggested this idea. Here's some more information about the film:

• Name: Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
• Stars: Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Sacha Baron Cohen, Gary Cole, Michael Clarke Duncan
• Director: Adam McKay
• Duration: 1:47:55

The best place to join us for this evening's event is the Live Commenting Live... Thing. We have embedded a clock set to London time, and when it hits 20:00, everybody needs to start their engines films. I imagine we should also take bets on how far apart we will be by the end as well.

Once we're done, let us know your thoughts, maybe even give it a Sidepodfilmrating, which we can compile over on the wiki.

I'm really looking forward to sharing this film with you, as neither Mr C nor myself have seen it before.
