82: T2 Trainspotting; Danny Boyle’s magic; Ewan McGregor’s mystery

Joe & Adam are diving back into the Danny Boyle cinematic well — this time with T2 Trainspotting (2017), the long-awaited sequel to the iconic Brit flick.

The whole gang is back - Spud, Sick Boy, Renton, and Begbie - and so is Boyle’s stylish storytelling. Our hosts break down the film, debate Ewan McGregor’s hit-or-miss filmography, and (for once) actually talk about the movie more than usual.

Plus, Joe’s homegrown Kevin Bacon game makes a triumphant return, alongside the classic Box Office game and the all-important Picking Next Week’s Film game.

Got a film you forgot you forgot? Hit us up at [email protected] with your thoughts, episode suggestions, or just some light praise. The best picks make it onto the sacred Communal List - and who knows, one day, fate (or our deeply flawed selection process) might smile upon yours.

You can also follow Adam on Letterboxd; he rates and reviews the films he watches. The comments section is a very cool
place to be.

Also, be a pal: tell your chums, rate us, review us, shout our name into the void - whatever helps spread the word.

Welcome to the home of forgotten films. Each week, Joe Devine & Adam Richmond discuss a different film that they’ve seen before, but forgotten existed. They discuss cinema, memory, culture and history - as well as play silly games about cheese, budgets, and re-casting.

Listeners needn’t have seen the film, but are welcome to watch (or re-watch) before episodes for a different perspective. And at the end of each show, Adam & Joe read out forgotten film lists to each other, to find the film that becomes the focus for next week’s episode.
