26: Trainspotting & T2
from Beef Station: A Film Podcast · host Andrew & Oscar
This week beefbois Oscar and Andrew talk smack as we cover twenty years of shooting up between Danny Boyle's Trainspotting (1996) and its sequel, T2 Trainspotting (2017). As a method actor, Ewan McGregor actually became a heroin addict for the first film, managing to get clean just in time to get readdicted for the sequel. Rehab involved having to repeatedly watch his own performance in the first film until he could correctly identify the number of trains shown on-screen during the whole run. Afterwards, he was left with a working vocabulary of only two words: 'Spud' and the c-bomb (councilhousing).
