Summary
emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Barry Keoghan, originally episode 226 from 2018-08-29.
Below is the original writeup for context - but as you will know, the years since this was recorded have seen Barry find new audiences while revealing all sorts of new levels to his skills and talents. So enjoy this flashback to the 2018 era Barry! Note - this writeup was for the original episode where Barry shared it with Bart Layton - just a quick FYI.
–––––––––––––––––––––––––
An amazing chance to catch up with the pair as Pip rocks it tag-team style, starting the podcast with director Bart Layton and concluding halfway through with actor Barry Keoghan. Needless to say, with two sides of the story covered you get a comprehensive and detailed look at a unique pocket of the movie industry, a fascinating side of the indie film world and certainly longer than a regular press junket. You’ll get to hear about the realities of making and marketing a movie in a world of cinema and Netflix (or dare I say, cinema versus Netflix), the differences in those two worlds as well as the merits of both, the ludicrous nature of the premise of ‘American Animals’ and how it works as a film, how Barry is a grade A actor without formal training and how acting was not a conventional pursuit being where he is from. Naturally there is more besides but that’s down to YOU, dear listener, to unravel and enjoy. Which you shall. The recording is a touch on the reverberant side, which you might pick up on, but in headphones your ears will rapidly attune and all will be well. Now go see their filmographies already!

| 0:00.0 | M-O-Clu, M-O-Clu. This is the first ever distraction pieces rewind episode. |
| 0:07.7 | I'm really excited about these. We've been asked for years to do rewind episodes. A lot of podcasts |
| 0:13.1 | do them. It's never really appealed. But as we've recently hit a decade of putting out an |
| 0:18.6 | episode every week, we kind of decided it's justified and kind of |
| 0:24.2 | a responsibility of ours to highlight somebody episodes that a lot of you wouldn't have |
| 0:29.0 | caught, because as if you're going to go and trial through the, uh, the full back catalogue, |
| 0:33.7 | because there's so many, you know, we've, we've, we've done over, over five, over, over 600 at this |
| 0:42.5 | point, or we're at the 600 mark. Let's not get caught up in that. There's, there's been a lot. |
| 0:47.8 | And I thought the perfect episode to start this with was when I, Barry Keogan on. Barry is obviously one of the most talked about |
| 0:57.5 | actors in the world at the moment after Salt Burn also had a fantastic film this year called |
| 1:03.4 | Bird. I first saw Barry in love and hate. I mean, we talk about all of this because I had Barry |
| 1:09.5 | back in 2018. So the lad would |
| 1:12.7 | have been early 20s, maybe then, or maybe 24, 25, maybe 26. A young lad, I think it's the |
| 1:20.3 | first ever podcast Barry did. And he's not done tons since. He recently did a fantastic episode |
| 1:26.0 | with Louis Theroux. I highly recommend that. |
| 1:29.9 | And this episode was actually part of a two, of a, I had two guests on, but I interviewed |
| 1:34.7 | the one at a time. So go back and listen to the Bart Leighton half, but I thought we'd just |
| 1:40.2 | give you the Barry part here, because it's it's really interesting how how far this lad's come |
| 1:45.9 | like as you will hear i've been excited about him for a long long time so yeah it's a great and fun |
| 1:53.0 | episode i hope you enjoy it as said we're going to put these out every friday so there'll be so many |
| 1:58.4 | good people that you probably won't realize have ever been on. |
| 2:02.5 | So I'm really excited about that. But yeah, let's get into the first distraction pieces |
