Summary

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 251 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! With the release of the film ‘Boy Erased’ on the horizon, please welcome actor, film-maker, director, producer and now friend of the podcast JOEL EDGERTON to the Distraction Pieces hotseat!

“…Usually the moment you put the brushes down, sadly, is the point where you have the least amount of objectivity…”

A good, solid and enriching chat right here which defies its slightly shorter runtime, as Pip gets into business from the get-go with this multi-disciplined film maker. As skilled in front of the camera as behind it (with OCD tennis ball - all will be explained), you may well have seen Joel in any number of films. But you may well have also seen the directorial work, which forms much of the talk today as we co-incide with the release of ‘Boy Erased’, the thrilling “pray away the gay” real-life tale in cinemas over the country. Of course, there’s a HUGE amount other than that, including his recent trip to Ethiopia and his thoughts on charity, setting up his company, fallibility of characters, his love of writing and how he wanted to do everything in films, working on his other films including ‘Animal Kingdom’, gratitude on set and all manner of film-making tools which has sharpened over the years. Great one here, people. Engage and enjoy.

0:00.0	This is a paid advertisement from Better Help. I've got a really clear memory when I first got a
0:06.6	dog of being really focused on how important all the things I have to do for this cute little guy
0:13.6	are. Like I need to make sure he's getting walks every day, fresh air every day, fresh water every
0:21.1	day, eating good food. And it becomes such a kind of a focus and a drive because you want to do all
0:28.0	you can for this little creature that you love. But we don't always put that much time and
0:32.8	attention into what we need for ourselves. Like what are our basic requirements to get through
0:40.6	life. And we need to focus on that more and Better Help can help with that. With over a thousand
0:46.2	therapists in the UK already, they can provide access to mental health professionals with a wide
0:51.5	variety of expertise in mental health. As far as I know, they've not got any that can help dogs,
0:57.4	but again, as long as you're dealing with that, then they can help you deal with you as well.
1:03.0	Alistair's get 10% off their first month at BetterHelp.com slash distraction pod. That's better
1:09.5	B-E-T-T-E-R-H-E-L-P.com slash distraction pod. Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is episode 251 of
1:19.8	the distraction pieces podcast. How are you all doing guys? Been a wonderful reaction to the
1:26.7	guests so far this year. Believe me, I've got some gold to come and today is no exception. But
1:33.3	yeah, the reaction to the rich and e-grant episode last week was amazing. Obviously, I lucked out
1:38.8	hugely by getting him the day after. I've been nominated for an Oscar for the first time in his
1:46.0	40 plus year career, so I kind of lucked out there. But yeah, it's a great one. Mark Miller and
1:53.2	Adam McKay were both the previous week and the Adam McKay ones seem to surprise a lot of people,
1:58.3	because often we don't know, or there's a lot of writers and directors that don't put themselves
2:04.7	at the forefront, I think. And Adam McKay obviously is up for loads of awards for Vice and one of
2:11.2	third a big short, but also did Ankeman and and and and and stepbrothers and the other guys.
2:17.5	And loads of good stuff. So that was a great one. We had some good talks on there about the rock
