Summary

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 228 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A full on writing and directing masterclass right here as Pip is joined one of the busiest bigshots in the Hollywood multiverse, DREW PEARCE!

While you may not see Drew acting alongside big screen pals like Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr, by god he is busy working on scripts, rewrites, edits and all that entails which contribute to the blockbusters they star in… With the behind the scenes arts of the movie industry proving of just about equal importance to the more visible side, Drew’s presence is hugely necessary, vital in fact, as you will hear in this chat with Pip - though he is currently enjoying the success of his directorial debut ‘Hotel Artemis’, which gets big chat time here. Powerful truths about the industry as well as some hard earned wisdom right here, as he and Pip get into such topics as embarrassing recording failures (they begin with that!), how his directorial debut began life on a mere notepad, how he eschewed pristine for grubby and the VHS image reference in said directorial debut (‘Hotel Artemis’), the art of the modern trailer edit and showing people exactly what they’ll be paying for, risk taking in film, the control audiences feel they lack in modern cinema, the Netflix algorithm, the mantra “Work with what you’ve got, not what you hoped for”, the behind the scenes process of rewrites and special effects, reshoots and draft and edits, entire roles being edited out and topping everything off with a tasty Ghostbusters rumour expanded upon. Or maybe even myth-busted. Brilliant stuff.

0:00.0	Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the destruction pieces podcast episode 228.
0:06.6	I've completely had a guess at the number there. I'm just checking on my phone. Yes, it's right.
0:11.1	That's good news, isn't it? I'm joined this week by Drew Pearce and it was an absolute joy. Drew
0:18.3	had a film out of this she called Hotel Artemis and it blew me away. I absolutely adored it.
0:24.4	I got to go to a preview of it. I'd seen the trailer and heard the concept and seen all the people
0:28.8	who was in it from the Sophia Battella Charlie Day and Dave Batista and the
0:34.9	Blue and Ek, Gerdy Foster and then there was more people who I wasn't that familiar with and
0:41.8	yeah, I'd heard the concept that it's basically a hotel that is a private member's hotel
0:48.4	that is a hospital for criminals and just the concept alone I loved and then I watched the film
0:54.0	was blown away and I hassled Drew on social media to come and chat with me on the podcast
1:00.7	and I'm delighted I did because I've had a few this year where I've met someone for the first
1:07.2	time and you've got to remember I hope it doesn't come across or change the interviews too much
1:11.6	but you've got to remember that I'm fully in on acting now and I adore this industry so it's
1:17.4	super exciting if I have someone on who is someone that's on my list of people I'd love to work with

1:28.9	Layton, Caroline Fargate earlier this year and Alan Hughes earlier this year and yeah in the past
1:35.8	all sorts of people but yeah Drew was was one of them he's someone that I'm a fan of his work and
1:42.8	would like to work with in the future and it's always a good sign when when you meet it is just
1:48.5	comfortable and relaxed because I genuinely my limited experience of this of this film industry
1:55.7	is that it's it's it's it's a long and tiring game to make films and to make TV so genuinely
2:09.2	getting on with people helps do you know what I mean so so you there is an urgency or a desire
2:15.7	to work with people not only that a super talented and right for the roles and all this coming but
