AMAR CHADHA-PATEL • the sacred arts of world building and world burning (Willow / The Creator / The Decameron) #672

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by the fabulous acting talent that is AMAR CHADHA-PATEL! Bar after bar on this one, folks. You'll really enjoy it and that goes for everyone including those not necessarily focused on the world of the moving picture. Amar's been steadily building steam on his career path and as you'll hear here, is gradually owning the fact that he's really incredibly good at what he does. Which is NOT the opposite of humility. It's a sign of acknowledging growth, skill and accomplishment, and is refreshing to hear. But on top of that, there's so much in this chat including behind the scenes nuggets, how he approaches a one man theatre show, advice, mistakes, history, the Persian Empire (can have ONE WEEK where that doesn't come up??), and so much more. It's a lovely one which is hugely entertaining and informative, and packs in a lot in the run time. Enjoy!

DJ SHADOW (Endtroducing / Quannum Projects) • Friday Rewind

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with DJ Shadow, originally episode 298 from 2019-11-13. Original episode intro: "Guess who’s coming… IT’S… Guess who’s coming… IT’S j-j-j-just your favourite DJ saviour / using and confusing beats that you never heard / since / 1990… Ladies and gentlemen, he’ll put a smile on your face like Ultra Brite - it’s DJ SHADOW!" (* now that is a solid intro). Original writeup below: “…Not every musical moment affects people the same way…” A great rare treat for Shadow heads and crate digging nerds, and those who appreciate a good old fashioned music chat right here, but not only that - of course Pip and Shadow get to some really interesting ground when not dealing with the musical matters at hand, including his growing up in a remote town with limited access to hip hop which leads nicely onto how he eventually did find his way in, which then leads us into the whole Mo Wax side of things where he met and worked with James Lavelle extensively for a contained period (the foundation for which being laid by discovering NME, Melody Maker and also by the very intro of Nation Of Millions by Public Enemy - “LONDON, ENGLAND…!!!”), the Entroducing / Soldesides / Unkle / Brainfreeze eras, dealing with fan expectations and of course being taken out of context in hilarious style, nutritional value of rap from then and now, the current album ‘Our Pathetic Age’ and a breakdown of lead track ‘Rosie’, conjuring live sets and so much more which is all there for you to discover! Such a good one. You’ll love it. PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature DJ SHADOW online DJ SHADOW on INSTAGRAM OUR PATHETIC AGE ROSIE PHILL MOST CHILL - 'On Tempo Jack' (for reference!)

TOM GEORGE • the beauty of unmotivated camera movements (Two Weeks In August / Bait / See How They Run) #671

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by the awesome director and writer TOM GEORGE! A true nerd-out for the film heads right here, as Tom and Pip get it cracking from the beginning and do not let up. Tom's been ultra busy in recent times and all of this busy-ness is discussed, and it's really fascinating of course... Mixed in with the updates are some gems and jewels about the process and backstage bits and pieces that are truly worthy of note for those who enjoy the work on screen and appreciate the hows and whos of it arriving there. As you will expect there's some great 'Bait' chat involving Riz and Guz, a shared love of the one-shot and extended takes, how Tom found out about the See How They Run Bafta nom (cheers Pip!), allowing the script to do heavy lifting, and just an overall celebration of creativity, essentially. Enjoy, it's a goody!

JESS MEGAN • surviving grief, addiction and social media #657

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by model, activist and general whirlwind of greatness JESS MEGAN! A deluxe edition of the podcast this week as Pip catches up with Jess, which as you will bear witness to, is no average catch up. While they worked together on the 'Dark Summer' Speech Development merch shoot back in 2016, which seems like mere months ago, that was an entire decade ago it turns out. And as with life in general, it also turns out that an almost insurmountable itinerary can intervene. In Jess's case, without treading on any of what you're about to hear, there's been an immense amount of grief, varying degrees of addiction, depression, and in case you need any sensitivity warnings, there is frank discussion of suicide - so please know that before you begin this episode. Of course, among the heavier elements of the conversation, a huge amount of light enters - Jess and Pip are lovely people and you're in safe hands, as hopefully you'll feel aware of by now. There's a lovely balance of the fun and the far more serious, including a lot of fascinating chat regarding social media and the like. But importantly, even if this situation doesn't mirror one of your own, there will likely be familiar moments or perhaps some which might be of help for others going through it. However you meet it, you'll emerge at the end in a different spot, and hopefully have found a glorious new friend in the bargain. A valuable, intimate but ultimately incredibly powerful conversation right here folks. PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature JESS IG PIP AT PRINCE CHARLES CINEMA!

IAIN LEE • a life working in and coping with the media (Impostor Syndrome / The Living Room Tour / 11 O' Clock Show) #674

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by host, presenter and returning guest IAIN LEE! Iain is a welcome, familiar face to a lot of us - someone who's been involved with some really great things, and it's a great chance to catch up and check in on where life's been leading him for the past handful of years (or more fairly, where's he's been directing his life. Truly it hasn't been an easy journey, with various dependancies and relapses on the table, but the 2026 Iain is congniscant of how these situations came into play and is able to trace the path. But there have been some awesome stops on the journey too, in finding love via a long term working relationship, and navigating an incredibly heavy and tense live radio situation resulting in a life-saving triangulation of listeners. Included in the chat of course are re-evaluations of the past and past works, I'm A Celeb, humiliation vs humility, figuring out a live show in your living room, and confronting the end of level conscience boss that is the fact that one might be as good as one hoped to be. So a lot going on, clearly...! Get listening. PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature IAIN LEE (all links here!)

STEPHEN FRY (thou shalt not question Stephen Fry) • Friday Rewind

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Stephen Fry, originally episode 440 from 2022-05-02. Original writeup below: Simply using the term ‘national treasure’ doesn’t do any kind of justice whatsoever to who or what Stephen is, does and has done, of course. But it’s pretty tough to dispute. Long term (and casual) Pip listeners will already know the line ‘Thou shalt not question Stephen Fry’ - well, Pip breaks the holy rap commandment and does just that, and it’s a joy to behold. Naturally there’s only so many tips of icebergs one can introduce in an hour, but rest assured that you get the full Pip and Fry experience including pandemic times, social media, Greeks and Romans and history as a whole, tattoos, religion, politics - it’s like if you had a dinner party with him but condensed into a lunch break. So enjoy this hang time with Stephen and let’s hope that it only leads to more! Enjoy. PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature ALL STEPHEN LINKS HERE!

HERO FIENNES TIFFIN & DONAL FINN • Young Sherlock premiers on Prime from March 4! #661

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by the fabulous actors HERO FIENNES TIFFIN & DONAL FINN! What with Young Sherlock premiering on Prime TODAY (at time of publishing, that is) - or for those listening later - March 4th, what better pairing than Sherlock Holmes and James Moriarty (and our man Scroobius Pip who also stars in the show!). Guy Ritchie directed it, and it sounded like a very cool and very unique environment to be a part of... We catch Hero and Donal at the very start of the press run, but already they have their off-screen chemistry down to science as they let us all in on the process, which is one that embraces spontaneity while being fully prepared. Along with the blend of loose / tight, we also hear about the musicality of the script which includes meticulous cadence, having room to present ideas and creative input on set, the importance of careful scheduling and also how to portray the Mind Palace. Many have attempted it... What will this iteration look like? Enjoy the episode, and catch the show too of course!

ANSON BOON • 'The Good Boy' in cinemas now! (MobLand / Pistol / 1917) #664

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by the force of acting posititivity (and good boy) that is ANSON BOON! As stated in the episode title, 'The Good Boy' (aka 'Heel' in the US) is out and about now, in which Anson plays alongside the powerful duo of Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough. Anson is capable of playing characters who aren't necessarily immediately charming, let's say, and some that might require a little work to warm to, but always make for some truly captivating and interesting, memorable performances which inspire conversation, debate and thought. So it goes without saying that this chat is an awesome one as Pip finds out where these choices originate, and traces the source of Anson's acting path. Of course there are so many facets and angles covered too, including basically becoming a fully functioning Sex Pistols tribute band by way of 'Pistol' (in which he was coached by Underworld!), his love of a film set, being a nepo gangster, the School of Kate Winslett, acting alongside Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren, Paddy Considine, Pierce Brosnan and so many more, and just a huge amount of fascinating goodies from his time in front of and nearby the camera. Inspiring and lovely stuff, enjoy! PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature IMDB INSTAGRAM THE GOOD BOY MOBLAND PISTOL PIP AT PRINCE CHARLES CINEMA • 9th April!
