Popping in to share my long conversation with Danny Boyle about Trainspotting, in which I quote Stand By Me to him and he tells me about the needle drop in his films that he'll always regret! I loved doing this one!

The dude who runs Twitter, controls your feed, and makes money off your posts is on week two of posting about how Chris Nolan casting a black woman as a beautiful woman is anti-white genocide. I do not want to write for that guy for free, which is what you're doing when you post to his platform.
