Frankie Boyle • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #585

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined, once more, by the always fabulous and funny comic, podcaster, author, host and producer, FRANKIE BOYLE! Frankie's name has carried through the decades of comedy, and even a moment of listening to him in conversation reveals a really cool, calm and observant side of him. He's always been a great time on the podcast with a ton of really interesting viewpoints and perspectives, and it's a really nice time to hear him in a different mode that's not necessarily standup or host mode. As we hear, this can be a response to the context of the recording, but Frankie is adept at all sides - standup, hosting, podcasting, and as we hear here - authoring books! So you'll enjoy this ace chat which goes into the whole lot - the book, the temporary mind-fence of recording, hotel time, Palestine views, the media in general, Frank Quitely, and so much more. A lovely one. ENJOY!

FILMS OF THE YEAR 2025 #652

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip takes us on a personal guided tour of not only the frosty badlands of the outside world, but the miracle wonderland that was the year in film of 2025! Pip saw like 500 movies last year, which is a commendable feat by anyone's standard, so to corale them all into a manageable amount is even more of a hardcore labour of love. But one thing Pip does love is film, so this is not labour - this is total joy and appreciation and celebration of cinema right here. You'll hear a complete runthrough of all of those films (okay not quite 500 - and crucially not a review of each one), as well as the all important top list of what made it through and why. It's always a fun time and can sometimes be a cool reminder of stuff we all meant to watch but didn't get round to, so loads can be gained from the outdoors on location film ramble. Your keyword for this episode is: ROMP. Also accepted: CAPER. Enjoy, and have a wonderful new year everyone!

A Literal Drug War: The Philippines

We need to keep talking about the Philippines and their literal war on drugs, predicated by President Rodrigo Duterte. We're joined by a trio of journalists who have covered this subject, both on the ground and within the presidential palace, but also how this fits in relation to international drug policy. Jonathan Miller is Channel 4 News' Asia Correspondent and author of the biography Duterte Harry (which you can hear in a previous episode).Livvy Haycock is a friend of the podcast and a brave filmmaker who has been on the ground in the region, alongside gangs and victims alike, her film The Deadliest Place to Deal is a must watch.Avinash Tharoor is a journalist, editor of TalkingDrugs.org, and a staff member at Release (Avinash has now moved on to new projects and we thank him for being part of this podcast and we wish him well in future endeavours). So where do we begin? President Rodrigo Duterte has mercilessly declared an all-out war on drugs in his country, the results of this have meant that murder on the streets is now commonplace. The only thing is.... drugs are being used simply to frame suspects and people in venerable positions. If you're not liked, then a drugs warrant for your arrest (or worse) may be knocking at the door. This is one of those episodes that we can't stress enough just how important it is to keep talking about what's really going on. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ep51,pt1 - Jimmy Havoc - Top 5 Batman Graphic Novels

Darkness visited the Whiff-Inn a few weeks back, as one of the UK's most infamous hardcore wrestlers Jimmy Havoc visited the boys to tell them what the official Top 5 batman graphic novels of all time are....and they weren't about to disagree. Actually, as it turns out Jimmy is one of the nicest dudes we'd ever had the pleasure of chatting to. Chris couldn't wait to get stuck into Jimmy choices as the pair of them both are big fans of comics, and Stu, well Stu tried his best to keep up! Hosted on Acast.
