Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
An amazing opportunity to get inside the mind of writer, director and producer SHAWN LEVY!
You may be familiar with Shawn from such projects as the sleeper hit ‘Real Steel’, the ‘Night At The Museum’ series and ‘Stranger Things’ to name a mere sprinkling in the vast ocean of goodies he’s been involved in - a brief glimpse at his IMDB will open the door on these so definitely have a peep - but this is a great full length chat with Pip, as the two go in on things in some nice detail. What’s really cool is how Shawn becomes a fast convert to the DPP faith around 20 minutes in when it’s clear that, dear listeners, our own Pip knows exactly what he’s doing behind the steering wheel. Hear about the amazing ‘Free Guy’, casting, creation, self taping and in person auditions, letting ideas flow in the edit stage, and so much more including some choice horse analogies. Please enjoy!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction pieces podcast episode 402. |
| 0:06.3 | Thank you for tuning in and here we are on a Monday for a surprise bonus episode. |
| 0:10.9 | Basically, there's two films out this week that I really rated and I've got the opportunity to talk |
| 0:16.7 | to two people involved in them. So I wanted to put them both out. The first one, today's episode is |
| 0:24.1 | with Sean Levy, who man, we had one of my favourite conversations. It's always nerve-wracking when |
| 0:31.2 | it's a press junk hit. It's a director and producer that you've never had any interaction with ever. |
| 0:37.6 | There are Americans that there's a good chance you're just not going to have similar references, |
| 0:41.6 | but I'm a big fan of Sean's work and his new film Free Guy with Jody Coma and Ryan Reynolds, |
| 0:49.4 | who I'm obviously a huge fan of both of those. Tyker YTT, loads of really good people in it. |
| 0:55.6 | I absolutely adored. I put it on, expecting to enjoy it because I enjoy all Ryan Reynolds films |
| 1:01.3 | and pretty much everything Sean's ever done, but I enjoyed it even more than I was expecting. So I was |
| 1:05.7 | excited to talk to Sean about this. Wednesday's episode is with Steve Stam, aka Steve's from |
| 1:12.5 | people just doing nothing, whose film people just do nothing big in Japan is out later this week. |
| 1:18.3 | Free Guy is out now. I highly recommend both. They're fantastic. So yeah, I won't ramble on too much. |
| 1:26.2 | This week's episode is ever is bought to you by speechdevelopmentreffles.com. You can get my |
| 1:31.2 | merch there, my music, my DVDs, all sorts of good stuff. If you're tuning in for the first time, |
| 1:38.3 | go ahead and have a scroll through the back catalogue. There's been loads of really good people on from |
| 1:43.2 | Spike Lee to Simon Pegg to Michael Faspender to Mary J. Blige to Lena Heady to Florence Pugh, |
| 1:53.2 | you know, loads of really good people. So check them all out. Yeah, let's get on with the podcast. |
| 1:58.4 | This is episode 402 of The Straction Pieces Podcast with the one Sean Levy. |
| 2:22.5 | I'm excited to chat. But again, you know, before we get into the film, how's everything been going? |
| 2:39.5 | How does it feel? It's obviously it's been a weird year or two for film and TV and a weird time |
