Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the warm, ace and uplifting actor JOHNNY HARRIS!Johnny's been incredibly busy over the last few decades, as a quick glimpse at his storied IMDB page will display. So of course you can expect to hear a ton of good old fashioned acting chat right here. But on top of that, you'll also be treated to a ton of good old fashioned friendly and uplifting back and forth too. Johnny's interests and skills go beyond acting, so you'll hear about his boxing origins which fed into the film 'Jawbone', his music love which led him to meeting and working with his heroes (Whoever said "Don't meet your heroes" maaay have just had a terrible experience with theirs? Just a thought...), and just a proper full episode of awesomeness. Jump in and enjoy, you certainly shall.DON'T FORGET PIP ON PATREON if you're of a supporting natureIMDBTHIS IS ENGLAND 86JAWBONEAWESOME ONSTAGE CHATSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITCHSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONSCROOBIUS PIP on IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the excellent and hilarious comic JOHN KEARNS!You might know John from his appearances on Taskmaster. You might know John from his memorable appearance on stage as a comedian (rocking the false teeth and wig). But here's a perfect chance to get to know John as the human behind it all, the master at the controls. It's a brilliant chat which covers all the ground you would hope for, but also offers some fascinating insight into what goes on behind the "mask" - and what is a "mask" anyway? Some really interesting ground for discussion but also all the tangents, fun and stray observations you would want too, including crowd and audience attitude, and cadence. Lotsa cadence. Lovely stuff - enjoy!DON'T FORGET PIP ON PATREON if you're of a supporting natureJOHN KEARNSTOURARTICLETWITTERJOHN on FILMS TO BE BURIED WITHSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITCHSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONSCROOBIUS PIP on IMDBBLAIR TWITCH PROJECTPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by veteran true crime comedy podcast trio DRUNK WOMEN SOLVING CRIME!...of course the three women in question who form the trio have names - Taylor, Hannah and Catie - and all three are here to chat all things podcasts, origin stories and more! A lot more, by the way. It's a joy to hear the team catch up and talk about all the things that maybe even people who listen to DWSC aren't up to speed on, and so it's a great ep for people who are full on fans as well as those uninitiated. But those who fall into the latter category will be rapidly converted, so prepare to add another podcast to your agenda. True crime fans - rejoice! You're in for so many treats.DRUNK WOMEN SOLVING CRIMETWITTERALL LINKS HERE!SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITCHSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONSCROOBIUS PIP on IMDBBLAIR TWITCH PROJECTPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by Enter Shikari's ROU REYNOLDS!...and if you remember all the way back to episode 27 where Rou made his debut on Distraction Pieces, you will know that his name is pronounced "Rou like cow, not Rou like moo". But that aside - we welcome back Rou, in this excellent episode which delves into so much more than music. Situating ourselves immediately in the surroundings of Pip's old uni town of Wolverhampton, we hear about everything including politics and how to transmit that as a band, being a frontperson and the emotional toll, gender hangups and new arguments within, the Overton Window (see links below if unfamiliar), the creative drought of the pandemic, and of course MUSIC! Burying the lead there! So enjoy this welcome return and share freely - as with all episodes - you as a listener form a very important part of the Distraction Pieces chain. Nice one and big love as always.OG EPISODE 27OVERTON WINDOWENTER SHIKARI(PLS) SET ME ON FIRESPOTIFYSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITCHSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONSCROOBIUS PIP on IMDBBLAIR TWITCH PROJECTPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by director BRANDON CRONENBERG!If half of that name rings bells to those of you not versed too hard in the cinema world, you are indeed correct - Brandon's father is David, who you will surely be familiar with in some way! Brandon's been carving a unique niche in the horror scene with some truly psychedelic adventures in the genre, and you'll be happy to know that he goes into a lot of the technique in this chat with Pip. Honestly, you couldn't have guessed some of this stuff - and better yet, it's all in-camera (basically meaning, not computer FX). So prepare for some fantastic process talk, greater ideas within the films, and some nice action for those who saw and loved Possessor, Infinity Pool and the rest in the catalogue. As always with these chats which may seem specifically bound to a certain discipline - if you are creative in any way, or enjoy creativity - you will absolutely get a lot from this. So fear not, horror fan or otherwise - you'll love it.IMDBINSTAGRAMMUBI PAGEPOSSESSORINFINITY POOLSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITCHSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONSCROOBIUS PIP on IMDBBLAIR TWITCH PROJECTPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the incredible screenwriter BISHA K. ALI!An absolute must listen episode, firstly for those interested and invested in the acting and cinema/television kingdom, but also for those who want to hear a straight up brilliant episode full of honesty, truth and heart. Of course you get the shop talk - process, creativity, the whole science of it all (and the Marvel multiverse of course)- which is amazing in itself, but you also get some wondefully vulnerable and soulful thoughts and experiences on mental health, diversity, and how this ties everything together in a much more macro sense. It actually plays out like a perfect screenplay in many ways, which is no surprise. I mean. It's Bisha K. Ali! Enjoy, take notes, listen fully.IMDBINSTAGRAMTWITTERHOMEMS MARVELSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITCHSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONSCROOBIUS PIP on IMDBBLAIR TWITCH PROJECTPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the brilliant actor and musician NATALIA TENA!The instant connection that will be of note to Distraction Pieces Network followers, is that Natalia starred next to Brett Goldstein in Superbob - which hopefully you will have seen by now! BUT - consider that something of a sidebar to this conversation as here, we get to hear everything about Natalia in a solo capacity. From boat life, to mind opening Patagonia journeys, to dream jobs and being part of film crews almost like a family, her band and how the tale began and unfolds, accordions, Harry Potter, John Wick, and the whole acting science in general. Amazing stuff and a brilliant look at what Natalia's been up to and is about to do - listen in!IMDBINSTAGRAMTWITTERMOLOTOV JUKEBOXFEATURESCROOBIUS PIP on TWITCHSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONSCROOBIUS PIP on IMDBBLAIR TWITCH PROJECTPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the duo of incredible poet and filmmaker SAUL WILLIAMS and stellar actor and playwright ANISIA UZEYMAN!Saul is back on the Distraction Pieces couch for his second appearance in the show's history (first time was incredible), and as you can well imagine, you're in for treats galore. Not only that, you can double up on said treats by adding the wonderful Anisia Uzeyman into the mix, as the two drop science in an orderly fashion! A huge amount of perspective, viewpoint and opinion which you will definitely enjoy being in on, but also you'll hear about their film Neptune Frost. If you haven't seen or heard about the film, for goodness sake look at the trailer for some context - it's incredible, and will give a perfect foundation for ths chat with the makers. Or better yet - watch the film. Fans of Saul will heavily appreciate this, and if you're familiar with the work of Anisia you'll love it. And all rounded up with some glorious hip hop anecdotery in case you forgot who you were dealing with here.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is flying solo to answer a flurry of questions from YOU, the listeners and viewers!In keeping with Distraction Pieces tradition, Pip likes to have a week to himself from time to time and here we are, deep in mid-February, to open up the mailbag. Even saying 'mailbag' is such a nostalgia trigger for most of us. Didn't that kind of thing die out not long after the 90's arrived? What was it replaced by? Maybe that should have been my question for this episode. Anyway - expect a nice gathering of input from friends and fans and long/medium/short term listeners, with light shed on various topics from music to film to Twitch to everything besides. Just don't ask when we can expect more music. Deal? Deal. Enjoy episode 501, the denim edition.SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITCHSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONSCROOBIUS PIP on IMDBBLAIR TWITCH PROJECTPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!Join Pip and producer Buddy Peace in a 'quincentenary' celebration as the podcast reaches episode 500! PART 2 of 2!Pip and myself don't often sit down and recount the archives of the Distraction Pieces Podcast in an official capacity. We might refer back to episodes here and there, or talk in a bizarre shorthand only decipherable by us about certain prior events and occurances in the past. But this time we sat down and recorded a whole epic feature length episode of us doing the damn thing and here is part 2 of the double drop!It was a pleasure and delight, and a real treat to give some context to this ongoing project which drops every Wednesday (and sometimes more), and find a space to stop, check in, celebrate, be still for a moment and look at what's happened over the years. Turns out A LOT HAS HAPPENED. But you would expect that right? So here it is, the second of two full conversations with me (Buddy Peace) and Pip, peppered with comments and questions from listeners throughout. This could even be a good first listen for some folks if they haven't heard it before, actually - definitely a huge amount of "Oh I'm listening that THAT one straight after this" type stuff.Enjoy, and huge love to you all for being with us and supporting the Distraction Pieces Podcast. Love ya.
