Show notes

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 305 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! WELCOME OFFICIALLY TO 2020 FOLKS! Yeah you were with the gang for the DrunkCasts but this is the first proper jam for the new year and as custom dictates, here is Pip with the rundown of his year's favourite films (of 2019 of course). No it's not a list of THE definitive best films of 2019, nor is it this objective list of best films which wipes out your own list of films for 2019 - this is Pip's list, so don't take it personal - just have a peep and feel free to agree or disagree at will! Whatever happens, it's a great ride and you'll hear all kinds of interesting points of view. This does start off with a mild downer though, spoiler alert - but is all handled with positivity and calmness and turns out okay. Just to warn ya. Anyway - enjoy and have a good'un, and please, travel safe and smooth this year. Let's make it a goodie, y'all. ENJOY!

End Of Year Drunkcast (Part 1) • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #304 Dec 18, 2019

Show notes

Pip is joined by Chris and Stu of Hardcore Listing in true tried and tested seasonal fashion to kick things off with a bang, and several bottle pops! It’s an action packed but actually pretty controlled start to proceedings - naturally the sloppiness will increase as the night rolls on but here is a great one to introduce y’all to the night ahead. A whole bunch of goodies including the Tom’s Diner game (oh you gotta try this one), present giving, an amazing Amanda Palmer gig, shaving backs, questions from folks, The Irishman, Patreon and SEVERAL CLIFFHANGERS.

Be rude not to, wouldn’t it? ENJOY.

Yoni Wolf • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #303 Dec 11, 2019

Show notes

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 303 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! In a world where genres are so slippery and tricksy and hard to pin down, Anticon was a label in the hip hop realm which routinely defied definition. This week Pip sits down with one of the original crew members to chop it up about the good old days, as well as the present and the future - ladies and gentlemen, this week’s guest is YONI WOLF (aka WHY? - band and solo)!

Pip and Yoni share many mutual friends, influences and interests, and it seems mad that the two haven’t gotten together in the podcast huddle and recorded a chat before. Well - let history be righted as they finally crowbar in some good jibber jabber time to reflect on all sort of necessary goodness, including mic control, Pip’s relationship with the first cLOUDDEAD album (the group comprised of Why, Doseone and Odd Nosdam), the exclusivity of hip hop and the rap milieu of the time, the rest of the Anticon crew including the truly unfortunate passing of Alias, touring and the delights and non-delights thereof, his father’s messianic preaching and how he unknowingly introduced Yoni to rapping, his relationship to labelmate and mate-mate Doseone (who actually battled Eminem in the past - I kid you not), dealing with crohns and health issues, veganism, touring under three different presidents, his own podcast ‘The Wandering Wolf’, Meteor Festival and the controversies that surrounded it and rounded off with some ever resonant mental health talk. Beautiful - whether you know Anticon or Why’s music or not, this will give you some real wisdom. Please enjoy!

Kevin Smith • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #302 Dec 04, 2019

Show notes

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 302 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Two podcast forces meet and interlock their powers this week as Pip is joined by seasoned podcaster himself - not to mention film director / writer / actor and SO much more… It’s Kevin Smith!

“I play the game like I’m trying to save the universe…”

SNOOCHIE BOOCHIES! What a joy this is… While it is a slightly shorter episode, Pip could hardly turn Kevin down now could he…? Exactly. Unthinkable. So sit back and enjoy as Kevin essentially takes the reins with this one! It was expected though, as Kevin has basically found his true North by way of talking and telling stories for a living these days. But that’s not to say he’s thrown in the towel on films - oh good god no, as you will surely be aware of by the fact that his Jay & Silent Bob Reboot film is out and about and making much noise in the View Askew-niverse. This here is a chance to hear all about that, and the past hits in the Smith catalogue, as well as a gang of talking points including his gratefulness for being able to express himself for a living, the difference between making podcasts and movies, the younger Smith laying the foundations for later on, the power of the Q&A, brushes with death, and tons more but all held together with a true understanding of what he means to his fanbase and the importance of his products. A delightful whirlwind - enjoy!

Neil Gaiman • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #301 Nov 27, 2019

Show notes

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 301 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! The one that more than a few of you have been waiting for right here… Not to mention Pip… Yes indeed - this week’s guest is the phenomenally prolific and downright awesome author NEIL GAIMAN!

“...Comics are a medium that is mistaken for a genre...”

To even use the word ‘author’ risks belittling the wealth of work that Neil’s been involved in, but let’s just say the list of work goes back a good long way. His career is coming up on around 40 years, and on this chat you’ll hear about a huge amount of it. This includes the wisdom accrued along the way, lessons learned and notes made, ranging across the board and including finding his writing process, moving around artistically, Good Omens, Dr Who, working with DC and the Sandman comic, Neverwhere, the things that can get missed through the journey from writer to production, give and take behind the scenes, the holy trinity of Peter Sellers, David Tenant and Michael Sheen, the 90’s comic bubble, and being a parental unit with Amanda Palmer! Oh there’s MUCH more too… But that’s for you to discover and enjoy. And you shall!

Paul Feig • Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #300 Nov 20, 2019

Show notes

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode THREE HUNDRED of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! The Gerard Butler edition! We made it! Well, zero chances of Gerard sightings here, as Pip is joined this week by a mildly abbreviated by nonetheless great chat with the truly excellent director PAUL FEIG!

With his new film ‘Last Christmas’ on the horizon, now is the perfect time to catch Paul, and Pip does just that, managing to pick him up on all things directorial and cinematic philosophy. Beginning with the importance of eye contact in an interview, they get cracking on it all - the film in question (‘Last Christmas’), his old Xmas film ‘Grounded’, the perennial success carrot to chase in a Xmas film, whether or not you can have too much fun on set, whether or not moments are funny in front of a crowd, fatal flaws and runaway trains, finding intimacy in London, well rounded characters and not just mindless representation, aiming for a perfect cast, getting along with said cast, film vs TV, the need for honesty behind the scenes, relating to women and a whole lot more in not a huge amount of time… Also some extrapolated thoughts up top from Pip about a point hinted at near the end - all will make sense! It’s a goody, and definitely a conversation starter I would say. Enjoy! EPISODE 300!!!
