    emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

    This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Simon Pegg, originally episode 11 from 2014-12-04.


    Simon's a good pal of the podcast (and indeed Pip himself), and this is an episode you might have either missed entirely or heard so long ago you've completely blanked it from your memory. But with so much time passing, it's fascinating to hear what's what from all those years ago. It doesn't seem like a decade but it bloody well is... Lotta years. Simon's always good business so you're in for a treat whatever year the appearance was! Enjoy.

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

    This week Pip is joined by one of the greatest to do it, please welcome LENA HEADEY!


    Lena is a very esteemed colleague of the podcast and a treasured member of the past guests club (her debut on here was back in January 2018 no less) - and so it is a fabulous thing when there is chance of a reunion. And that is what we have right here! So much to talk about and catch up on, and Pip is coming in hot so you can expect a goody here. It crackles along at a nice speed all the way, featuring all the actorial nuggets and goodness you would want and just a straight up classic all rounder. Lena's a champ and always a pleasure to hear from so enjoy this one - it's a lovely episode.

  • JOE CORNISH (The Kid Who Would Be King / Attack The Block / Adam & Joe) • Friday Rewind
    Mar 6 2026

    emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

    This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Joe Cornish, originally episode 253 from 2019-02-15.


    Original writeup below:

    Consider this the counterpart to the much earlier Adam Buxton episode, if you will, what with Joe being Adam long term co-conspirator and collaborator! Between them they very much had a hand in those early days of podcasting, which was something of a direct offshoot of radio but with a very creative and premeditated approach, not to mention their amazing TV work… With both of them going their separate ways and moving onto a ton of incredible work between them, it’s been hugely inspiring to see the individual sides of the two, and Joe breaks down his recent work and creative projects including of course, ‘Attack The Block’ and brand new film ‘The Kid Who Would Be King’ (showing by the time you read this)! Hear Joe go in on everything else besides too, including film reactions from kids, violence in modern kids films, how he valued seeing himself in kids films (as a young’un), the “Supermarket Sweep of hell” of an approaching film deadline and its many intangible obstacles, how it’s tough to truly enjoy your own film creations as you know too much about them and his own Super8 films back in the day, made with pals Buxton and Louis Theroux! A lot packed into a shorter episode - you’ll dig it for certain!
