T2 Trainspotting with Scott Aukerman & Shaun Diston
First they were addicted to heroin, now they\u2019re addicted to *nostalgia* (but also still heroin)! Danny Boyle returns to the squalid Scottish world of Renton, Sick Boy, Spud, and Begbie for T2: Trainspotting, and Scott Aukerman and Sprague (aka the Artist Formerly Known as Shaun Diston) join us to talk about this under-seen legacy sequel. How did Danny Boyle and Ewan McGregor\u2019s real-life feud influence this film? Is Spud\u2019s arc in this basically just Bubbles\u2019 arc in season 5 of The Wire? Which is the better \u201cmuch-later sequel starring Ewan McGregor in an iconic role\u201d - this, or the Obi Wan Kenobi series on Disney+?\n\nJoin our Patreon for franchise commentaries and bonus episodes.\nFollow us @blankcheckpod on Instagram, Threads, Facebook and X! \nBuy some real nerdy merch.\nConnect with other Blankies on our Reddit or Discord\nFor anything else, check out BlankCheckPod.com \nLearn more about your ad choices.
