Trainspotting is #173 on IMDB's Top 250 Movies as of January 2025 (the number may differ based on when you listen). In this episode, we break down Boyle's frenetic direction and its bold visual style, including unforgettable sequences like the infamous 'Worst Toilet in Scotland' and the haunting baby hallucination. We also discuss how the film balances dark humor with brutal realism, never glorifying addiction while still capturing the chaotic allure of escapism. All this and so much more!
