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

This week Pip is joined by the UK film titan in town on business for 28 Years Later, it's DANNY BOYLE!

An immense amount of cinematic greatness can be packed into a smaller episode, as you shall witness with this awesome episode with Danny. This was recorded as part of the Converstions @ Curzon series, where the best of the best film folk get to chat about the craft in a perfect environment for such conversations. As you can hear Danny is always great for a film talk, and even though up against the clock, it was enough to get into some proper good ground relating to output, theory and general approach. He and Pip also check in on cinema seating and the specifics, the effect of sound on an audience and working with sonic layers, working with Young Fathers, the changing image of horror, funding for films, the idea of cultural stasis in the time of the original 28 Days Later, and handing over the reins for the third iteration. Told you it was a lot for a shorter run time... Go in on this!

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Kwno, originally episode 288 from 2019-09-18.

Original writeup below!

A really fun and engaging sit-down with the two, as Pip catches Kano in the midst of a promo run which leads us nicely into the whole thing - from the cycle beginning and ending (and then beginning again), his time served at the notorious Deja Vu station back in the day, teaming up with Mike Skinner and the inspiration Mike had on his live shows (along with dancehall culture in Jamaica), his brother getting him into DJing and emceeing, roots beyond grime, not being scared of ‘off’ days, getting in the zone in the studio, being tuned into society and understanding the mechanics of it, speaking truth to power, addressing problems on wax, conversations through music, importance of sport and non musical activities, being in a computer game, going HAM on his fourth callback for Top Boy, practice making perfect and rehearsing for his Royal Albert Hall show! Pop ten bottles of escapism for this one - get very involved!

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

This week Pip is joined by a long awaited guest and general acting legend, DOMHNALL GLEESON!

Business first - if Percy Pigs want to come through and sponsor the podcast we're all on board (you're welcome Percy for the free plug btw 🐽). More importantly though of course, this is a fabulous episode which covers so much of the acting science that it's one that aspiring actors (or indeed working ones) could do well to take some notes from. In a freeflowing and easy chat, so much is covered and expanded upon, with new ideas and perspectives coming left right and centre, which all makes for some really engaging listening. Domhnall is primarily around at this moment in time to check in about the thrilling new 'Echo Valley', which leads onto various subjects including character study, unconditional love, support and enabling and accents. So much other ground is covered besides, including older film roles and upcoming ones, Werner Herzog, Ireland on the whole, nepotism, directors and writers and one of Pip's unrequited beefs. Oh, Distraction Pieces takes it there. Trust. Enjoy!
