Summary

A triple welcome upon you to this, the 167th episode of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A very merry Wednesday to you all (assuming you are the Team 3W first responders - if that's not the case, a very merry whatever day it is). A huge one this week, as Pip is joined by young acting heavyweight Will Poulter!In the midst of his current promo run for Kathryn Bigelow's 'Detroit', Will takes time to sit down with Pip for a long overdue chat covering - as you will have come to expect from the DPP - a crazy large number of bases... From the issues raised in portraying a violently racist policeman in 'Detroit' (and the poignancy of the film itself), a powerful back and forth is triggered with Pip and Will, which is the beauty of films like this and how an open discussion can be had which leads into so much more besides - race, politics, society, it's all here. On top of that, you'll hear his tale from the very early days back in 'School Of Comedy' and how his young foot in the acting world's door gave him the necessary inspiration for a full on career, Will drops some gems from his unique perspective on his experience with acting and his ascent from those younger days right up to 'Son Of Rambow', 'The Maze Runner' and 'The Revenant', the latter of which had him up alongside Leonardo Di Caprio and Tom Hardy no less. A rich and diverse filmography right there, which has in many ways freed him from his somewhat reductive nickname of 'that Weird Eyebrow Actor'. Get yourself involved, it's a goodie and as interesting as it is entertaining. And for the love of gawd go see 'Detroit'!••••• WILL on TWITTER! - https://twitter.com/PoulterWill••••• WILL on INSTAGRAM! - https://www.instagram.com/willpoulter••••• WILL on IMDB! - www.imdb.com/name/nm2401020/••••• 'DETROIT' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFeWsDpy9y0•••••••••• SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTER! - https://twitter.com/Scroobiuspipyo•••••••••• SCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAM! - https://www.instagram.com/scroobiuspipyo•••••••••• SPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDS – https://scroobiuspip.backstreetmerch.com•••••••••• FOLLOW AND ENJOY!!!

0:00.0	Welcome, welcome, welcome, this is the Strachan Pieces Podcast episode 167.
0:06.1	Thank you for tuning in guys, you know what? This is the first male guest I've had on
0:13.8	in over a month. The last one was Doc Brown and that was one two three four five six six
0:20.2	episodes ago. That doesn't mean anything, we've just had some amazing, a female guest if you missed
0:28.9	them. Last week was Ashlyn Bay, which was Ashlyn B, sorry, which was fantastic, amazingly
0:34.2	popular. I know I had the special with Ben and Jerry's, which was about ice cream, but it was also
0:40.5	with the IRC, so it was also about refugees. It's Sophie Hagen, Laurie Penny, Alice Low, who are
0:50.4	a door, and then it was Doc Brown and before that was Laura Doc Ruehl and yes, it's been
0:55.6	been loads of good people. Have you all been guys? And today's episode is fantastic, it's with
1:01.9	a world polter who I've been a fan of for a while and we've been talking about him coming on for
1:06.8	a while and never got around to it. And then I got hit up by his PR people to have him on to talk
1:13.2	about Detroit, which is out now and is actually amazing and as you'll hear from the podcast,
1:18.5	I highly recommend people going to see it in the cinema I heard you too, but more about that shortly.
1:25.0	And the problem with PR things is it can all be a bit rushed and a bit of a nightmare, so I kind of
1:30.9	hit wheel up privately and said, look, you've got, it's why this is the week after he was doing all the
1:39.8	PR. I was like, look, you've got, you're going to have a hectic week having to talk to absolutely
1:44.8	everyone about this film. So I'd rather if you're up for it, we may have next week and we have a
1:49.8	more relaxed chat. So we did exactly that before we get into it. I should mention obviously speech
1:56.1	development records.com. It's the sponsor every every every episode. Head over there, we've got some
2:02.5	amazing stuff, we've got some good clothes, good, I mean, do any of you do this when I mention it?
2:08.7	If you've heard this a million times and you've never gone to speechvelemure records.com,
2:13.2	just as a little favour or just as a laugh, just go over there and have a look now. It's free to look.
