Episode 38 - Trainspotting Review, Sex, Drugs and Boyle's Brilliance

This week on Cast-A-Role, we’re diving headfirst into the wild, messy, unforgettable world of Trainspotting - Danny Boyle’s 90s cult classic that gave us Choose Life, Iggy Pop, and one of the most iconic toilet scenes in movie history.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why Trainspotting is such an important film, and what made it the cult classic it is today
• Ewan McGregor's performance as Renton
• Addiction, Friendship - and how the film doesn't pull any punches
• We discuss some of our favourite moments, including the soundtrack
• Jim has a fascinating thought on the ending

If you grew up quoting Begbie or just watched it for the first time, we’ve got takes, trivia, and plenty of “WTF?” moments to unpack.

Hit play and let’s take a trip (pun intended) back to 90s Edinburgh.
