MD wants to call before R1?

Got a BB R1. Haven’t networked with the bank outside of infosessions - no one responded to my networking emails :(. Few days after getting the R1 invite, an MD I briefly talked to at the infosession but never got an email response from responds to my initial email from the fall, congratulating me and offering to hop on a call before the interview. I set up the call — what should I expect?
