Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by director and screenwriter EDGAR WRIGHT!
For sure one of the more long awaited ones right here, as Pip finally checks in with Edgar in person. Edgar’s on top form as he goes into depth on his latest movie, and depth that will please all film enthusiasts at that. No spoilers given so don’t worry if you haven’t seen it yet, but it all sounds incredible. You’ll hear about production being shut down on arrival of the pandemic, the distopian Soho landscape which played into his film set in Soho (which boasts on location filming other than the parts referenced by Edgar here), authenticity, on camera effects and capturing magic, dealing with the present as well as going back in time, danger of romanticising the past, not turning his back on the UK, the cast and of course the Sparks documentary which is introducing and re-introducing a whole new and existing audience to the band. Excellent stuff, get involved!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the Straction Pieces Podcast episode 416 and today I'm joined by the one Ed |
| 0:07.6 | Gover right. I know a lot of you have been waiting for this, me and Ed Gover have been waiting for |
| 0:12.4 | this. Generally me and Ed Gover have been talking about doing this. We talked about doing it just when |
| 0:18.2 | the Ant-Man stuff was all kicking off but he kind of said at that point we can't really talk about |
| 0:22.8 | any of that so it'd be a really awkward conversation. Then we were going to do it when, was it when |
| 0:29.4 | Baby Driver came out maybe? Definitely we talked about it when the Sparks documentary came out but |
| 0:35.7 | these things all all happened for a reason and we ended up doing it as his new film last night in |
| 0:42.1 | Soho comes out this week. I've seen it blew me away. I think it might be my favourite Ed Gover right |
| 0:48.1 | film. Now do I include the conno- trilogy in that they're obviously key. They feel like a |
| 0:54.6 | stand-alone thing but it might be my favourite Ed Gover right film I ain't kidding. I really, really |
| 1:00.1 | enjoyed and you'll hear it in this conversation. There's certain things that just really |
| 1:04.6 | struck all the right chords for me but we talk about a lot of stuff. We talk about London, we talk |
| 1:10.5 | about the weirdness of being almost finished on a film when suddenly a global pandemic hits. |
| 1:18.1 | We talk about the difference, the split of London and America. We talk about Sparks so we talk |
| 1:23.6 | about music, we talk about a whole load of things and you're going to adore it and then I'm going |
| 1:28.8 | to heavily encourage you going to see last night and Soho. Obviously I also recommend you see |
| 1:33.9 | Venom 2 which I'm in at the moment and he's also in the cinemas but equally Venom 2's already had |
| 1:41.6 | the best opening weekend since pre-pandemic so it's all going all right there. So I highly recommend |
| 1:48.4 | last night at Soho which I reckon will have a huge opening weekend as well because it's so damn good. |
| 1:55.4 | Yeah as ever we're brought to by speechdevelopmentreckles.com that's where you can get my merch |
| 2:01.5 | as said the white limited edition distraction pieces vinyl is out there at the moment it looks |
| 2:06.4 | beautiful couldn't be happier with that and you can head to patreon.com forward slash |
