Guest host Austin Cross and LAist film critics Tim Cogshell, Peter Rainer, and Charles Solomon review this weekend’s latest movie releases in theaters and on streaming platforms. Correction: A previous version of this episode had errors related to a review of the film Found Footage: The Making of the Patterson Project, which partially referenced another found footage film. The inaccurate review has been removed from the episode. The episode also mentioned that the film 28 Years Later is the first sequel Danny Boyle has directed. He directed T2 Trainspotting, which is a sequel to his film, Trainspotting.
To 28 Years Later είναι η επιστροφή στον ζόμπι κόσμο της κλασικής ταινίας τρόμου 28 Days Later, δια χειρός και πάλι του σκηνοθέτη Danny Boyle και του σεναριογράφου Alex Garland. Το POP για τις Δύσκολες Ώρες κάνει βαθιά βουτιά στην πολυαναμενόμενη ταινία. Λίγα χρόνια μετά το Trainspotting, κι ενώ η καριέρα του έμοιαζε σε αβέβαιο στάδιο, ο Danny Boyle σκηνοθέτησε μια από τις πιο αποπνικτικές και επιδραστικές ταινίες τρόμου του 21ου αιώνα. Το 28 Days Later έδωσε νέα πνοή την καριέρα του. Αλλά πώς είναι το να επιστρέφουν σε αυτό τον κόσμο, δεκαετίες αργότερα; Γιατί είναι χρωματιστός ο Ralph Fiennes; Λειτουργεί η ταινία ως αυτοτελής ιστορία; Ποια είναι η ομορφότερη από τις σκηνές αγωνίας και καταδίωξης όλου του φιλμ και γιατί η δράση συμβαίνει σε ρηχά νερά; Τι κοινό έχει η καριέρα του Danny Boyle στο τότε και στο σήμερα; Αλλά τι διαφορετικό επιχειρεί αυτή η ταινία σε σχέση με την προκάτοχό της; Είναι ακόμα αναγνωρίσιμο το στυλ του βραβευμένου με Όσκαρ Danny Boyle; Είναι καλά γενικά ο Alex Garland; Τι μας άρεσε στον χαρακτήρα του Aaron Taylor-Johnson και τι θαυμάσαμε πιο πολύ στην ερμηνεία της Jodie Comer; Τι μας εξέπληξε περισσότερο στην ταινία, τι μας συγκίνησε, τι μας έκανε να γελάσουμε; Γιατί μας καθήλωσε η ανάγνωση ενός παλιού ποιήματος; Τι σχόλια και ενστάσεις έχουμε για το φινάλε της ταινίας; (Μην ανησυχείτε – προς το τέλος του επεισοδίου δίνουμε ξεκάθαρο spoiler warning!) Πώς μας φάνηκε Αυτή Η Εξέλιξη της πλοκής στο δεύτερο μισό του φιλμ; Πού είναι και τι κάνει ο Cillian Murphy; Και, τελικά, τι σχέση έχουν όλα αυτά με τον Pedro Almodovar και τους Power Rangers; Αυτά και πολλά ακόμη στο POP για τις Δύσκολες Ώρες αυτής της εβδομάδας, αφιερωμένο στο πολυαναμενόμενο 28 Years Later και τον αγαπημένο, βραβευμένο με Όσκαρ σκηνοθέτη του.
28 Years Later Review – with a Dead Meat & Wuz Good Cameo! The long-awaited third entry in Danny Boyle's post-apocalyptic zombie trilogy is finally here. Set decades after 28 Days Later (2002) and 28 Weeks Later (2007), 28 Years Later delivers a chilling, action-packed, and emotional return to a Rage-infected world. Directed by Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting) and written by Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation, The Last of Us video game influence), the film brings back the gritty realism and raw energy that helped redefine the zombie genre. The cast features Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Bullet Train, Kick-Ass) as the lead survivor, Jodie Comer (Killing Eve, Free Guy), Jack O'Connell (Unbroken, Skins), Ralph Fiennes (Harry Potter, The Grand Budapest Hotel), and the return of Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer, Peaky Blinders) as Jim. In this video, we dive into first impressions, standout performances, jaw-dropping scenes, the terrifying evolution of the Rage virus, and how 28 Years Later stacks up against modern survival horror hits like The Last of Us and A Quiet Place. We also reflect on the full trilogy's progression—from the raw chaos of 28 Days Later, the military dread of 28 Weeks Later, to the emotional weight and larger scale of 28 Years Later. Is this the best zombie movie since The Last of Us? Did it live up to the massive expectations? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—and which scene left you breathless!

My guest is Matt Coughlan, author of Groundhopper: Tales from Football's Equivalent of Trainspotting. Matt's new book explores the experience of visiting 100 football grounds, focusing on non-league and less mainstream clubs, sparked by his disillusionment with Arsenal and the Premier League.
The comedian, writer and podcaster Adam Buxton first burst onto our TV screens 30 years ago. He and his friend Joe Cornish created The Adam and Joe Show, which featured pranks, songs and re-enactments of famous films like Titanic and Trainspotting using their childhood stuffed toys. Along with work on radio and film, an eye for the weird and wonderful quirks of music videos, and a multi-award winning interview podcast, he has also written two memoirs. The first, Ramble Book, included a very poignant account of his father's final months, when he lived with Adam and his family until his death at the age of 91. More recently, his book I Love You Byeee! includes reflections on losing his mother – as he says, ‘to death – we didn't get separated in a shop.' And both books include plenty of musings on growing up and his many personal obsessions. Adam's musical choices include Ravel, Grieg and Thelonious Monk.
This week on Cast-A-Role, we're diving headfirst into the wild, messy, unforgettable world of Trainspotting - Danny Boyle's 90s cult classic that gave us Choose Life, Iggy Pop, and one of the most iconic toilet scenes in movie history. In this episode, we discuss: Why Trainspotting is such an important film, and what made it the cult classic it is today Ewan McGregor's performance as Renton Addiction, Friendship - and how the film doesn't pull any punches We discuss some of our favourite moments, including the soundtrack Jim has a fascinating thought on the ending If you grew up quoting Begbie or just watched it for the first time, we've got takes, trivia, and plenty of “WTF?” moments to unpack. Hit play and let's take a trip (pun intended) back to 90s Edinburgh. #Trainspotting #90sMovies #DannyBoyle #EwanMcGregor #CultClassics #MoviePodcast #ChooseLife #IrvineWelsh #BritishCinema
Send oss en meldingOn the Road og TrainspottingSelv om Kulturetaten nå er lagt ned og vi er blitt en del av Etat for Bibliotek og Kultur, handler denne episoden verken om Jack Kerouac eller Irvine Welsh.Det er altså ikke en litterær episode om de to store generasjonsromanene – henholdsvis Beat-generasjonen og Generasjon X.I stedet snakker vi om livet på turné med smultring-wagen til Kjartans gamle band – et band vi faktisk aldri kommer inn på hva heter.Dette er et fascinerende tidsbilde av hvordan det var å kaste seg ut i en uoversiktlig verden på turné med et band uten nettverk – og ikke minst før internett. En tid der man aldri helt visste hvor man ville ende opp, eller hvilket publikum som ventet.Kanskje vil de som har sett Spinal Tap kjenne seg igjen i noen av historiene.Vi håper at Kjartan en dag setter seg ned og skriver sin generasjonsroman – om å plukke opp smulene fra grønsjen og stake ut sitt eget uttrykk og sin egen stil på musikkens landevei.Og derfra er det jo naturlig at samtalen ledes inn på fenomenet Trainspotting...Har du noen kommentarer eller innspill, så vil vi gjerne høre fra deg: odderik.dahl@bergen.kommune.no

Danny Boyle skapade 1996 med Trainspotting ett obarmhärtigt porträtt av unga heroinister i Skottland, kryddat med stilkänsla, svart humor och ett magiskt soundtrack. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Trots att låten ”Lust for life” kom nästan 20 år innan ”Trainspotting” lanserades är det svårt att frånkoppla Iggy Pops låt från filmen. Intro-scenen är så igenkännbar att till och med ”The Simpsons” har gjort parodi på den, trots de tunga ämnen som behandlas i filmen. Att en roman skriven på skotsk slang om unga, tunga missbrukares liv skulle översättas till en internationell filmsuccé känns långt ifrån en självklarhet. Filmen väckte också blandade reaktioner när den kom. Vad innebär det att ”välja livet”? Rasmus Grosin ser om ”Trainspotting” från 1996, och blir golvad igen.

What do Trainspotting, Charlie's Angels, a rooftop covered in bees, and a pet turtle named Clyde have in common? Welcome to our case file on season 1 of Elementary, which ran on CBS starting in September 2012. Sarah and Marisa walk us back to 2012 and reminisce about watching the show when it aired, dissect its first season and the portrayals of its characters, and consider what Elementary is attempting to do in taking Holmes out of London in the 21st Century - and reimagining Watson as someone very different than we usually think of her. Is Watson still Watson, when his gender or his Britishness is in question? Is Vinnie Jones the best Sebastian Moran out there? Why do these bees make us want to cry? Note: Our discussion contains pretty significant spoilers for the plot of season 1 of Elementary - so if you haven't seen the show and want to remain un-spoiled, GO WATCH IT.

Movie of the Year: 1996Independence Day Movie of the Year is the podcast that dares to ask: What is the best movie of any given year? In this episode, we turn our telescopes to the stars and our speakers to eleven as we revisit the 1996 cinematic spectacle, Independence Day. Packed with aliens, explosions, and patriotic fervor, this sci-fi blockbuster defined summer movies for a generation. But does it hold up today?Join the panel as we explore the legacy of Independence Day, its place in the science fiction genre, its portrayal of American values, and how it frames masculinity in the 1990s.Independence Day as 90s Science FictionIs Independence Day just a popcorn flick, or does it deserve a spot among sci-fi classics? The hosts unpack the movie's use of classic alien invasion tropes, its reliance on 90s tech optimism, and the impact of its genre-blending tone.From Area 51 to cable viruses, Independence Day reflects a distinctly 90s approach to science fiction—where spectacle meets paranoia, and where heroes can be hackers, pilots, or presidents.America and Independence Day: Patriotism on the Big ScreenFew films wear their nationalism on their sleeve quite like Independence Day. In this section, the Taste Buds explore how the movie functions as a patriotic narrative, complete with presidential speeches, flags in the rubble, and international unity under American leadership.They also compare Independence Day to other patriotic blockbusters of the era, questioning whether its celebration of American ideals is sincere, ironic, or somewhere in between.If you're interested in similar themes, check out our Mars Attacks! episode for a different take on 1996's alien obsession.Masculinity in Independence Day: Fathers, Fighters, and FlyboysWhat does it mean to be a man in Independence Day? The film features a wide array of male archetypes—from the stoic President Whitmore to the wisecracking Captain Hiller and the redemption-seeking Russell Casse.We break down the film's representation of masculinity in the context of 1990s culture, focusing on themes like emotional repression, heroism, sacrifice, and fatherhood.These depictions reflect both the expectations and anxieties of American men in the late 20th century, and the movie's lasting popularity suggests they still resonate today.Final Verdict: Is This the Movie of the Year?There's no denying Independence Day was the biggest movie of 1996. But is it the best? The hosts evaluate the film's legacy, critical reception, and cultural footprint. How does it compare to fellow 1996 heavyweights like Fargo, Trainspotting, or Scream?By the end of the episode, we'll know if Independence Day still deserves a place at the top—or if it's simply a nostalgic relic of the blockbuster boom.WANT TO HEAR MORE?For more 1996 alien attacks, listen to our Mars Attacks episode!For more Will Smith kicking butt, check out our episode on Bad Boys 4 Life!For more goofy Jeff Goldblum trying to save the world, download our Nashville episode!

Welcome to the LIVING FOR THE BOYLE review series! Daniel Francis Boyle originally hailed from Manchester, England and his filmmaking career took off thirty years ago in 1995 with the release of acclaimed cult thriller Shallow Grave. And ever since then, Danny Boyle (as he's officially known) has carved out a uniquely successful career not only achieving box office success several times but also winning a few Oscars along the way. During this time period, he has also become one of MY personal favorite directors, having helmed excellent ORIGINAL stories spanning several genres including children's fantasy, science fiction, crime drama, horror, and biopic. Over the next few months, I will be reviewing some of my favorite entries from his filmography in the lead-up to the long-awaited sequel to one of his more successful films….28 Years Later which will be released in the U.S. on June 20!Once Upon A Time, the edgy director of Trainspotting and 28 Days Later decided to make a different type of movie....a FAMILY movie. :) It's a touching story about a recently widowed father (James Nesbitt) who moves his two young sons to the suburbs....when one day, his youngest son Damian (Alex Etel) suddenly discovers in their backyard.....a bag filled with cash! A LOT of cash no doubt so Damian and his brother (Lewis McGibbon) embark on their own adventure trying to figure out EXACTLY what to do this with this new-found fortune....and what results is a delightful whimsical story involving (among many different things) the transition to the Euro, Mormon neighbors who can transport a LOT of appliances via bicycle, and one of our heroes getting to know all of the most well-known Catholic saints. It's a true original.

Up this week a very fragile Ben and Jack return to discuss Trainspotting. First up an apology of being so frighteningly behind on bringing the pod to you this week - all will be revealed as to why. So... Trainspotting taken from the book by Irvine Welsh, which first became a stage show before then becoming A Danny Boyle classic. But what's it all about?Well firstly heroin. But is it just heroin? Is it about addiction and the idea of trying to understand the world in which we inhabit. We see the film apply a critical lense to the group of heroin addicts at the films core but does it judge? Was the film harsh enough on the effects of heroin?Now nearly 30 years on the perspective on heroin has changed substantially but Ben and Jack have a nose into whether young men are still plagued by the same problems that the film was discussing in the mid 90's. We take a look at the character of Renton, whether he's a hero or whether he's a villain before looking at some of the more brutal and uncomfortable scenes. Fantastic bit of fine wine of war crime today - plus only one man for MVP!Lots to come on what to watch this weekend - see you all on Friday!! Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to the LIVING FOR THE BOYLE review series! Daniel Francis Boyle originally hailed from Manchester, England and his filmmaking career took off thirty years ago in 1995 with the release of acclaimed cult thriller Shallow Grave. And ever since then, Danny Boyle (as he's officially known) has carved out a uniquely successful career not only achieving box office success several times but also winning a few Oscars along the way. During this time period, he has also become one of MY personal favorite directors, having helmed excellent ORIGINAL stories spanning several genres including children's fantasy, science fiction, crime drama, horror, and biopic. Over the next few months, I will be reviewing some of my favorite entries from his filmography in the lead-up to the long-awaited sequel to one of his more successful films….28 Years Later which will be released in the U.S. on June 20!Twenty-nine years ago, this raw, high-energy adaptation of Irvine Welsh's novel about a group of young men in Edinburgh (Scotland) scoring heroin took the world by storm. Of course, it was about more than just the drugs....it was a frenetic crime comedy/drama not only exploring addiction but youth. It also featured a top-flight cast of up-and-coming UK actors along with an iconic soundtrack! Starring Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle, Kevin McKidd, and Kelly McDonald, it's time to find out about whether to....Choose Life.

Clemens Lehner filmt Startplätze. Sein Youtube-Kanal ist zur Basis für einen Flugführer der etwas anderen Art geworden +++ Trainspotting – das ist die englische Bezeichnung für das seltsame Hobby von Menschen, an Gleisstrecken auf Züge zu warten und sie beim Vorbeifahren zu fotografieren. Ein echter Trainspotter führt dabei begeistert Buch über die Nummern aller Züge, die er schon vor die Linse bekommen hat. Clemens Lehner ist ein vergleichbarer Sammler, aber nicht von Zügen, sondern von Startplätzen. Davon handelt diese 155. Episode von Podz-Glidz. Clemens erzählt darin, wie er sich zwei Jahren eine Auszeit von seinem Job als Fluglehrer gegönnt und damit begonnen hat, systematisch möglichst viele Fluggebiete in den Alpen zu „spotten“. Vor Ort nimmt der 39-jährige Österreicher kurze Videos aller Start- und Landeplätze auf und lädt sie auf seinen Youtube-Kanal hoch. Was als Privatvergnügen begann, ist zu einem Projekt mit Breitenwirkung geworden. Auf seiner Website Paraspotting.com gibt es eine Karte, über die alle seine Startplatzvideos verlinkt sind. Immer mehr Gleitschirmflieger nutzen das Angebot, um sich ein besseres Bild davon zu machen, was sie vor Ort erwartet. Mittlerweile gibt es Paraspotting sogar in gedruckter Form. Allerdings nicht als Startplatzführer-Buch, sondern als Quartett-Spielkarten-Sets. Die Karten bieten nicht nur technische Grunddaten zu Fluggebieten, mit denen man ein Gegenüber im Spiel ausstechen kann.

In supporter Mike's last pick and appearance he went with a classic 90's British flick, Trainspotting. And this time he's swung the dial to little renowned sword and sorcery adventure, Dragonslayer! Dragonslayer (1981) was an ambitious collaboration between Paramount Pictures and Walt Disney Productions, marking a rare foray into darker, more mature fantasy for Disney. Directed by Matthew Robbins, the film was developed as a gritty and realistic take on medieval mythology, deviating from the lighter tone often associated with fantasy films of the time. The screenplay, written by Robbins and Hal Barwood, aimed to explore themes of faith, power, and heroism. Principal photography took place in the rugged landscapes of Wales and Scotland, chosen for their authentic medieval atmosphere, and the production faced significant challenges in capturing the epic scope of the story while dealing with unpredictable weather and remote locations. The standout feature of the film was its groundbreaking special effects, particularly the creation of the dragon, Vermithrax Pejorative. To bring the creature to life, the production team employed a combination of animatronics, puppetry, and the pioneering go-motion technique developed by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM). This approach allowed for smoother, more lifelike movements than traditional stop-motion animation. Phil Tippett, the lead visual effects artist, played a crucial role in crafting Vermithrax, which has since been hailed as one of the most convincing cinematic dragons ever created. Despite mixed reviews upon release, Dragonslayer gained a cult following and remains a landmark in special effects innovation, bridging the gap between the practical techniques of the past and the CGI-dominated future of filmmaking. Mike & Dave have a monthly Star Wars pod with fellow VHS support Maff, plus Mike, Dave & Chris have collaborated on numerous podcast in the past, to find all of Mike's links, go here: https://linktr.ee/GenuineChitChat As Mike noted in his recording, he has discussed Dragonslayer in-depth with his wife Megan, fellow VHS supporter Spider-Dan and Ria Carrogan of the Femme On Collective, in their series "Disney Discussions", found on the feeds of Genuine Chit-Chat, Spider-Dan & The Secret Bores and Femme On.

Armed with his late master's enchanted amulet and his growing confidence, Galen ventures into danger, facing the dragon's fiery wrath and uncovering political intrigue that reveals the kingdom's rulers have sinister motives of their own. Combining themes of heroism, faith, and sacrifice, the film delivers a gritty, visually striking fantasy tale that stands out for its groundbreaking special effects and its unflinching portrayal of medieval darkness. thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thevhsstrikesback/support

Kirsty Young asks the author Irvine Welsh what advice he would give his younger self.Welsh became a literary sensation when his first novel, Trainspotting, was published in 1993. The film adaptation that followed made him a star. But before that he'd gone from being a punk in London to a turn into administrative work for his local council, via a brush with heroin addiction. He looks back at his childhood in Edinburgh, his parents' romance and a first arrest at just eight years old.A BBC Studios Audio production.

There are few writers more renowned for pushing the boundaries of modern fiction than Scottish literary icon and author of the 90s cult classic Trainspotting, Irvine Welsh.Irvine grew up as a working class boy in Edinburgh surrounded by drugs, crime, poverty and unemployment. It was this harsh environment and the people he grew up around that became the influence for the literary worlds he went on to create. After a tough start to life, including being arrested aged 8 and later dealing with a heroin addiction, Irvine became a published author in 1993 aged 30 after he wrote Trainspotting a book that would go on to change his life forever. The book became a cultural phenomenon, catapulting Irvine into the public eye. Through all this, Irvine continued to stay grounded through his writing, becoming a prolific bestselling author whose novels reveal the uglier sides of society, exploring life on the fringes. His latest book, Resolution, came out in July this year, and is the final instalment in his CRIME trilogy which has now been adapted into a hit ITV series.In this unfiltered conversation Irvine reflects on his early experiences growing up in Edinburgh and the tough lessons he learnt early on. He discusses how these have informed his work and shaped him as both a man and a writer. Annie and Irvine also discuss masculinity - how it has changed, the different iterations and perceptions of it, as well as the softening that comes with ageing, especially when it comes to his male friends and affection. Irvine is a true legend and we hope you enjoy hearing his changes.

When 15-year-old Joanna Dennehy first met 20-year-old John Treanor in her hometown of St. Albans, Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom, the romance was like something out of “Trainspotting”. It predictably descended into madness over the course of 12 years, because Joanna had been hiding a secret. It was one that jeopardized the lives of everyone in her orbit.
This author holds the title for having written the most shoplifted novel in British publishing history. Meet Irvine Welsh, the author of the critically acclaimed novel “Trainspotting”. Famous for his harrowing depictions of heroin addicts and imbuing them with humanity, it may be no surprise that Welsh had a similar tract in life to his characters with a troubled childhood– one that caused him to move constantly throughout different places, having difficulty feeling permanent security and a sense of belonging wherever he went. But thinking back to his childhood hometown, Welsh dwelled on the high drug usage and HIV rates which left Leith in decline and wrote his first novel as a thoughtful (and sobering) response. The book was an instant success, earning a cult following with those who recognized the harshness as a part of life while incurring mixed reactions from critics who did not. Despite the polarized reviews, Irvine has continued to write with ferocity since his first publication: publishing books, movies, and short story collections such as The Acid House, Filth, Porno, Glue, Skagboys, etc to shed light on the underrepresented side of fictional literature– the one most people are afraid to tell.
