Original writeup:
A blockbuster of an episode this week, as Pip sits down for a face to face chat with pure acting royalty Michael Fassbender! Far from the a short 3 minute press-junket soundbite interview, Pip has some quality real life facetime with Michael, who is (at the time of this podcast release) out there grinding on the promo for his new film 'The Snowman', directed by Tomas Alfredson and adapted from the novel by Jo Nesbø. A wonderful and warm chat, as we discover what Michael has been doing in the past year (racing Ferraris and surfing), but also get deep into the whole business - how he was born in Germany and was subsequently moved to Ireland at 2, his love of travel and how the acting profession broadens that experience hugely, how his career path could have branched off into an entirely alternate universe, and all manner of satisfying, filling movie gossip and insider knowledge. Safe to say then that this episode is pure Distraction Pieces goodness for your soul and being. Get involved, and if you feel it, get OTHERS involved too! Please enjoy.

| 0:00.0 | Emmo clue, in mo clue, immoclue, in moclue, this is the distraction pieces rewind, where we delve |
| 0:07.7 | into our 10-year back catalogue and bring you some guests you might have missed, and one such |
| 0:13.7 | guest, I couldn't resist it. It's Michael Fassbender. I've talked about this episode being a game |
| 0:19.0 | changer because it was one of the first times |
| 0:21.9 | I got to be part of a press junket with distraction pieces. One of the first times they were |
| 0:26.9 | willing to give me like over 40 minutes. And Michael spoke really highly of it to the PR people |
| 0:32.3 | and it meant that I got more and more conversations down the line. So Michael recently was in |
| 0:37.2 | the kneecap film and is in a |
| 0:39.1 | series agency, but it's Michael Fastbender. You know who Michael Fastbender is, so let's get into |
| 0:43.9 | this conversation. It's from 2017. In fact, it's, we were talking about, it was the press |
| 0:51.7 | junket for Michael Fastbender's film The Snowman, which gets referenced |
| 0:55.5 | on episode 600 with Jesse Eisenberg. Because before we got rolling, I'd been telling Jesse the |
| 1:02.8 | story of having this conversation right here. So what better time to go back to it than now. |
| 1:10.5 | And let's get into it. |
| 1:11.4 | This is Michael Fastbender. |
| 1:25.6 | It's hopefully a relief from the short of distraction. It's hopefully a relief from the short, quick ones you're having to do, and we can have a bit more of a in-depth conversation. |
| 1:35.5 | I love it. |
| 1:36.1 | I'm joined by Michael Fasbender. |
| 1:38.2 | How are you, sir? |
| 1:39.1 | I'm great. |
| 1:39.7 | How are you? |
| 1:40.2 | I'm good. |
