Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the proper acting talent that is JOEL FRY!
A delightful chat here with Joel, who we catch mere months into the second child bubble (and is holding up impressively). A quick glimpse at his IMDB will reveal an absolute avalanche of great projects that you're likely to have peeped over the years, though it may even be the case that you're only just discovering him through the latest (at time of publishing) 'Stitch Head' in which he voices 'Creature'. Whatever the case may be, it's a treat to hear the backstage banter about past and present work engagements, including working with Ben Wheatley on 'In The Earth', the move from Devon to Brixton, the science of doing nothing on camera, pandemic hangover life and acting throughout, Yesterday, cinematic universes (whether you believe in them or not!) and so much more of course. Lovely stuff. Get involved.
