Summary
emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Emerald Fennell, originally episode 540 from 2023-11-15.
Original writeup below:
An excellent chat with the very awesome Emerald, whose work you will likely have caught up with over the past few years in any one of her many capacities. Playing Camilla on The Crown, writing on Killing Eve, or writing and directing 2020's brilliant Promising Young Woman. Here we catch up with Emerald in promotionland to hear about her new film Saltburn, which we'll see in cinemas around mid-November. But as you will know from this podcast, it's not as basic as simple promotion - Pip gets into a lot of the mechanics of Emerald's world, including process, world building, reference, inspiration, small and big screen, casting, personal idea hierarchies, and so much more. It's a real pleasure to hear about it all in depth, so set aside some time to really enjoy this one. You shall!

| 0:00.0 | Emmo Clue, Emoclou, immo Clue, welcome to another Friday Rewind episode. Thank you for all the love for these episodes, by the way. We've been doing the Friday Rewine for just over a year now. And the reaction has been amazing. And today's Rewind is from three years ago, from 2023, when I spoke to Emerald Fennell, who at the time had done |
| 0:25.0 | saltburn and promising young woman, and now has recently, of course, done the big Valentine's |
| 0:34.3 | blockbuster Wuthering Heights. So it felt like a good time to rewind to this and let you all hear what Emerald had to say back then. |
| 0:43.2 | Yeah, let's get into it, shall we? |
| 0:45.5 | Emerald for now from 2023. |
| 0:48.7 | This base of fiction is the intro to destruction. |
| 0:51.3 | This base of fiction is the intro to destruction. |
| 1:06.5 | Right, I'm here today with Emerald for now. How are you? |
| 1:08.1 | I'm really good, thank you. |
| 1:13.3 | How are you finding this part of the project, |
| 1:17.4 | the bit where you have to talk to people about it on end for lengths of time? |
| 1:18.5 | Do you enjoy this bit? |
| 1:20.2 | Are you sick of this bit yet? |
| 1:24.2 | Do you know, whenever I heard people complaining about the, like, junket of it all, |
| 1:28.7 | the only familiarity I've had before this was like watching Notting Hill. |
| 1:35.1 | Yeah. Hugh Grant as the horse and hound, you know. So that's, and you people kind of complain about it. And I always thought, oh my God, you know, like grow a pair. Yeah. And what I'm realizing now is what |
| 1:41.9 | happens, because you have the same conversation in five minute |
| 1:45.2 | bits again and again, maybe 20 or 30 times in a morning. |
| 1:48.8 | What actually happens is you start to have a kind of weird feeling, glitch feeling, because |
| 1:53.5 | I think what happens is your brain thinks something's wrong. |
| 1:55.8 | Yeah. |
| 1:56.0 | Because it's not used to saying the same thing over and over and over again. |
