<p>Choose life. Choose a job. Choose this podcast. Yup, we are getting high on the pure unadulterated cinema that is Danny Boyle’s <strong><em>Trainspotting</em></strong> to mark its 30th anniversary.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Molly and Chloe are joined by award-winning writer and director <strong>Yasmin Godo</strong> to talk about the finer points of the film, from hypodermic needles to needle drops. We plunge into the darkest, most intense scenes (including how <em>that</em> toilet scene was created). And we discuss the astonishing visual flair of <strong>Danny Boyle</strong>, the dangerously charming performances from <strong>Ewan McGregor, Johnny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle, Ewen Bremner </strong>and<strong> Kelly MacDonald</strong>, and celebrate its era-defining soundtrack.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Plus we’ll take a trip through the most 90s details, hand down our verdicts on the film’s best moments, plus deal some top quality recommendations for what to watch next.&nbsp;</p><br><p><strong><em>Please be aware that this episode discusses a film with sensitive topics which may not be suitable for all listeners.</em></strong></p><br><p>The opening quote is taken from an interview with producer Andrew MacDonald for <em>Hollywood Reporter</em>: ‘<a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/trainspotting-oral-history-danny-boyle-ewan-mcgregor-reflect-cult-90s-brit-hit-986779/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trainspotting Oral History</a>: Danny Boyle, Ewan McGregor Reflect on Cult ’90s Brit Hit’</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The short documentary about production and costume design Chloe references can be found <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKjnDuYgHMM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><br><p>Molly quotes Danny Boyle’s appearance on Charlie Rose in 1996 talking about <em>Trainspotting,</em> which you can <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8XQ0o0M4eo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">watch here</a>.&nbsp;</p><br><p>And here’s an <a href="https://modernthrowback.medium.com/a-clockwork-orange-trainspotting-5872bca72eed" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">in-depth analysis</a> of how Kubrick’s <em>A Clockwork Orange </em>influenced<em> Trainspotting</em>.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Correction! <em>Trainspotting</em> competed in the 49th BAFTAs in 1996, which meant it was overlooked for Best Production Design in favour of <em>Apollo 13</em> (winner), <em>Braveheart</em>, <em>The Madness of King George</em> and <em>Sense and Sensibility</em>.
