Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by acting superhero BENEDICT WONG!
A marvelous and Marvel-ful episode as Pip has a long overdue catch up with the Salford hero Benedict Wong, which comes equiped with good vibes, positivity and inspiring nuggets from all sides. Kicking off with some record dealings up top, we glide into such matters as London acting gig drama, Mancunian origins, the great Sean Lock and working on 15 Storeys High, Dirty Pretty Things, Top Boy, internalising racism while working in the family chippie, representing himself as Wong & Only, the Marvel Universe, Wong Is Wong, Meisner, and just too much to be bulletpointed here basically. You know you'll love it.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction pieces podcast episode 451. |
| 0:06.9 | Thank you for tuning in. I've got an amazing guest this week, but before I get to it, I want to thank |
| 0:12.1 | all of you tuned in to both of last week's episodes, but specifically the Friday night bonus episode. |
| 0:19.6 | Because it was a really important one. I talked to a woman called Lisa Simpson, |
| 0:25.6 | whose son Richard Risher was murdered by the LAPD and she, along with several other |
| 0:33.1 | mothers of murdered black children and people, grownups as well, feel that the deaths of their |
| 0:44.0 | children have been exploited by certain activists. And having previously had activists on, |
| 0:50.5 | I felt it equally important to give a platform to people like Lisa who have their story to tell. So, |
| 0:58.3 | yeah, thank you all for tuning in. I wanted to mention it here because a lot of you, |
| 1:02.4 | obviously, if you're expecting a Wednesday episode, might not have noticed a Friday episode, |
| 1:06.7 | but it's worth going back and listening. But anyway, this week's episode is amazing. I only |
| 1:11.7 | recorded it last week, but it's a quick turnaround because it's with Benedict Wong. And I've |
| 1:17.2 | wanted Benedict on for ages. As we discuss, there's been a good few years of us going back and forth. |
| 1:22.0 | And this episode felt so special. It felt like there were some moments, there were some bits of |
| 1:28.8 | history I didn't know at all that are astounding. You may know Benedict Wong from 15 stories high, |
| 1:38.9 | from Top Boy, from Annihilation, from Prometheus, from the Martian, but even more likely, |
| 1:46.0 | you might know him from the Marvel universe. And he's in the new Doctor Strange, Doctor Strange |
| 1:52.5 | in the Multiverse of Madness, which I couldn't be more hyped for. This looks like exactly my kind of |
| 1:58.0 | Marvel film. A lot of you will know I love all the Marvel films anyway, although there was recently |
| 2:02.8 | one out, one, you know, comic superhero type movie. And it's the first one I've not gone to see |
| 2:09.6 | in the cinema. I've seen all of them, even like that first suicide squad, which I didn't think |
| 2:17.0 | was great. But anyway, I'm very excited about Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, |
