Cast-A-Role: A Movie Podcast

Episode 38 - Trainspotting Review, Sex, Drugs and Boyle's Brilliance

Listen Later

This week on Cast-A-Role, we’re diving headfirst into the wild, messy, unforgettable world of Trainspotting - Danny Boyle’s 90s cult classic that gave us Choose Life, Iggy Pop, and one of the most iconic toilet scenes in movie history.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Why Trainspotting is such an important film, and what made it the cult classic it is today
  • Ewan McGregor's performance as Renton
  • Addiction, Friendship - and how the film doesn't pull any punches
  • We discuss some of our favourite moments, including the soundtrack
  • Jim has a fascinating thought on the ending

    • If you grew up quoting Begbie or just watched it for the first time, we’ve got takes, trivia, and plenty of “WTF?” moments to unpack.

    Hit play and let’s take a trip (pun intended) back to 90s Edinburgh.
