Danny Boyle\u2019s cult-hit adaptation of Irvine Welsh\u2019s debut novel became an immediate critical darling, and makes many lists of the best British films ever made. In episode 282, Luke & James discuss a legendary production, Ewan McGregor\u2019s commitment to understanding the drug scene, a similarity of message to Fight Club\u2019s, what the color red represents, and what sort of responsibility artists have for the art they make. They finish by casting their vote for which was better: the book or the movie!
