In this electric conversation, Irvine Welsh joins Adam Biles at Shakespeare and Company to discuss Men in Love, the long-awaited sequel to Trainspotting. Picking up moments after Renton's betrayal, Welsh dives deep into the aftermath—friendship, love, addiction, class, and the cultural hangover of 1980s Thatcherism. The pair explore writing authentic historical fiction, how ecstasy (both drug and emotion) shaped a generation, and why mobile phones are killing drama. Welsh also shares insights into masculinity, social mobility, and why Sick Boy might just be the tragic heart of this novel. Expect laughs, gallows humor, biting commentary—and a live reading that's pure, unfiltered Welsh.Buy Men In Love: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/men-in-love-2Irvine Welsh was born and raised in Edinburgh. His first novel, Trainspotting, has sold over one million copies in the UK and was adapted into an era-defining film. He has written fourteen further novels, including the number one Sunday Times bestseller Dead Men's Trousers, four books of shorter fiction and numerous plays and screenplays.

No agora longínquo ano de 2002 chegava aos cinemas Extermínio (28 Days Later), filme escrito por Alex Garland e dirigido por Danny Boyle, que buscava reinventar o subgênero dos zumbis com uma trama mais ligada a preocupações e ansiedades quanto a epidemias e armas biológicas. Com um orçamento reduzido e câmeras semi-amadoras, o filme trouxe um retrato marcante de uma Londres devastada apenas 28 dias após o surgimento de uma nova doença. Anos após uma sequência realizada em 2007 por outra equipe criativa e não tão bem recebida quanto o original, a franquia Extermínio volta aos cinemas sob o comando da mesma dupla original: Garland na escrita e Boyle na direção. Passados 28 anos da primeira contaminação, o Reino Unido foi completamente abandonado a própria sorte, e tanto os grupos de infectados quanto os de não-infectados passaram por profundas transformações sociais. Em um RdMCast que traz discussões sérias sobre ansiedades do início do século e paralelos com a “Guerra ao Terror”, não perdemos a oportunidade também de comentar (mais de uma vez) sobre a rol@ impressionante do Alpha de Evolução.

Then, we contemplate the film's episodic structure, producing tonally distinct chapters that feel indebted both to Homeric and Alighierian epics as well as fantasy storytelling. Finally, we engage with the film's perspectives on death and mass crisis in the 21st century, how it speaks to our moment post-COVID and amidst Israel's ongoing genocide, and asks us to honor and value life in ways unfamiliar and reverent.Watch the trailer for 28 Years LaterListen to Taylor Holmes' reading of Rudyard Kipling's "Boots"Listen to Young Fathers' soundtrack for 28 Years Later....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish.

Nick and Angela greet good friends who love to travel on two wheels. Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman bring their passion for adventure to Dish following the release of their latest TV show, Long Way Home. Their fourth motorcycle trip together sees them plot a path through 17 European countries on two vintage bikes. The Long Way series began in 2004 when the pair embarked on an epic route from London to New York, via Asia, in Long Way Round. Each trip they take is characterised by beautiful landscapes, chance encounters, good (and not so good) food and Charley and Ewan's close friendship.  Ewan McGregor has been on our screens since his acting debut in 1993. His hugely successful career includes unforgettable roles in Trainspotting, Shallow Grave, Star Wars, Salmon FIshing in the Yemen and Moulin Rouge!. Charley, who met Ewan on a film set in 1997, is well known for his TV adventures, including By Any Means, which saw him travel from Ireland to Australia using any modes of transport he could find. He has also participated in the Dakar Rally, known to be one of the world's toughest and most dangerous motorsport competitions. There's not a lot of room to spare on this week's table, with a feast of food and drink to tempt our guests. At Ewan's request, Angela serves a slice of nostalgia in the form of Melba toast with chicken liver pâté, smoked mackerel pâté and pâté de campagne, before bringing out the haggis bon-bons. Drinks are negronis, tweaked by Charley, who suggests switching the gin for tequila, and a Pentire coastal spritz for Ewan. This is followed by an epic tomahawk steak with spicy dipping sauce and fries, paired with a glass of Journey's End Sir Lowry Cabernet Sauvignon. After arriving on motorbikes (a Dish first), Charley and Ewan quickly settle at the Dish table, where chat moves from boiled egg banter to bagpipes and classic Mongolian hospitality. Charley shares one of his favourite recipes and Ewan reminisces on an unforgettable meeting with Delia Smith. The episode finishes with Nick and Angela checking out the bikes, a moment you can watch on our YouTube channel as part of the full episode.   You can watch Long Way Home on Apple TV+ now.

Film journalist and friend of the show Brandon Streussnig returns to discuss Danny Boyle's debut film Shallow Grave, a British riff on the 90s neo-noir template, self-described by Boyle and his collaborators as their take on the Coen's Blood Simple. The film chronicles a trifecta of beautiful, sociopathic yuppies sharing an Edinburgh flat (Kerry Fox, Christopher Eccleston, and Ewan McGregor) who unravel after the untimely death of their new roommate and the discovery of a suitcase full of cash. Frenetic, aesthetically bold, and brimming with terrific performances from its cast of newcomers, Shallow Grave stood in stark opposition to the more muted social realism of established British filmmakers of the era like Mike Leigh and Ken Loach and showcased the collaborative power of Boyle, McGregor, screenwriter John Hodge, and producer Andrew Macdonald only a handful of years removed from their landmark feature, Trainspotting.We discuss Boyle's aesthetic inclinations, his history in the theater, and how the cinematic medium can liberate a particular type of artist from the confines of the stage. Then, we unpack the film's stellar trio of performances, its economy of character, and especially McGregor's star-making turn that suggests the greatness he would achieve with Boyle in their next several collaborations. Finally, we explore the film's ire for post-Thatcherite individualism, its attacks on the moral vacuum of the upwardly mobile, the dramatic irony of a film about the corruptability of money even for those who don't need it.In addition, we spend a brief moment looking forward to Boyle's latest film 28 Years Later (a full Bonus episode on the film coming later this week) and what it supposes for Boyle's late period.Follow Brandon Streussnig on Twitter.

Get ready to Choose Life (and a podcast!), because Season 11 is officially here, and we're kicking off our brand-new theme of 'Drugs' movies with a true behemoth of 90s films: Danny Boyle's iconic Trainspotting (1996). Join us as we unpack why Trainspotting has captivated audiences for decades, despite its characters being, well, mostly "assholes". We dive deep into the film's gritty depiction of heroin use – a portrayal that absolutely, objectively does not glamorize addiction, no matter what Bob Dole (who hadn't even seen it!) might have thought. We'll explore how Danny Boyle's visionary direction, heavily influenced by Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange, delivers a visually experimental and energetic experience despite its heavy subject matter. You'll hear about the famous "Worst Toilet in Scotland", which still manages to skeeve Sarah out to this day and wonder if there is "too much poo" in this movie. We'll dissect the infamous "Choose Life" monologue, which turns out to be far more cynical than many might initially believe. We'll also give our two cents on the film's unique cast, from Ewan McGregor's smug Renton, Robert Carlyle's terrifying Begbie, Jonny Lee Miller's Sick Boy, and Ewen Bremner's surprisingly pure Spud. Here's what you can expect from this episode: We discuss why Trainspotting was chosen to kick things off in season one. Expect a deep dive into the controversial accusations of the film "glamorizing" drug use. We break down the unlikable, yet entertaining, ensemble of characters including Ewan McGregor's Renton, Robert Carlyle's Begbie, and Ewen Bremner's Spud. We consider Trainspotting as a coming-of-age narrative, particularly for Renton. Hear about the infamous feud between Danny Boyle and Ewan McGregor.

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!

Er zombien endelig blevet uhyggelig igen?Jacob Ege Hinchely og Rikke Collin er tilbage med endnu en episode af Betacritic – og de starter med to store annonceringer, som de teaser i introen. Herefter dykker de ned i anden sæson af Conan O'Brien Must Go, hvor talkshow-legenden Conan O'Brien (Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Simpsons) rejser ud i verden for at møde fans, teste lokal humor og skabe absurde øjeblikke midt i virkelige situationer. Serien udkommer på Max og bygger videre på formatet fra hans tidligere podcast Conan O'Brien Needs a Fan. Rikke bliver overrasket over, hvor godt Conans humor rammer, og de taler om, hvorfor hans tilgang til rejse-tv føles forfriskende og ægte.Dernæst gælder det 28 år senere, den tredje film i den britiske zombie-franchise skabt af Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting) og Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation). Filmen fungerer som en moderne videreførelse af 28 Days Later og 28 Weeks Later, og er skudt på en modificeret iPhone 15 Pro. Handlingen bringer nye typer zombier i spil, og tempoet er nådesløst. Jacob og Rikke diskuterer zombiens tilbagevenden som ægte gyserfigur – og hvad det siger om tidens uro og frygt.Til sidst runder de af med anbefalinger og nyheder fra film- og serieverdenen.Tusind tak fordi du lytter med.

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.

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.   Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

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.
