Being an ex heroin addict myself, the scene where you said "he must be hallucinating", when Rentons parents lock him up so he can go cold Turkey, well I think that scene is done extremely well. It describes exactly how you feel when your coming off that shite. The emotions and failures that you've been running from by numbing yourself with heroin most your life, they all come rushing back. So everything that Renton didn't face in life, well it's all coming rushing back ten fold, it's a horrible thing to go through. Plus the pain and the sickness is awful, it's like having the flu and covid x10, plus the lack of sleep for days on end. So yeh don't do drugs people. Trainspotting is not exaggerated at all, it's so close to life. I haven't had a habit for 13 year's now. Great film and a great reaction king boomer, thank-you 💙🙏🏻👍

There are a lot of detractors but really any classic movie that gets a sequel after a couple of decades or more will always have detractors, there are people who hate Bladerunner 2049 despite the fact Denis Villeneuve perfectly recreated the world of the first movie. Trainspotting is one of those movies where you wonder "What happened to them?" and T2 shows you what happened to them. I hope KB reacts to it at some point.

I just mean T2 had to follow the original so there was huge expectations to be met and there were people who didn’t want a sequel so they had to be won over too. To me they did an amazing job to keep the tone of the 1st film and they built on it. They’re both masterpieces in my opinion, I just prefer the 2nd one because it’s more relatable to me - growing older, living with regrets and the decisions you’ve made, working out what to do in life - as Begbie put it ‘the world changes, even if we don’t’ it just really hit closer to home for me.

I always find trainspotting bittersweet. I loved the film when it came out, and still love it. It's so well made, and resonates so much as someone growing up in Scotland in the 90's. But then, just 2 years after the film was released, my cousin died of a heroin overdose. She was my best friend in the world. And watching the film always brings everything back, the struggles to get her clean, the relapses, all happening when Trainspotting was the big thing. And then, ultimately, her death. Until we meet again.

I loved your reaction to Spud's laundry scene. It had me cracking up at that for the first time in years. I read the book when I lived in Leith, where it's set, and it was crazy sitting on a bus reading about this stuff, and looking up I could see the places where they happened (fictionally). You said you love the shot with them crossing the road, but did you realise it's a homage to Abbey Road? When they get off the train next to the mountain, one of them is facing the wrong way, like Paul on the back of Sgt Pepper's. There might be more of them, but I don't know. Danny Boyle also made Yesterday, about a world where The Beatles are suddenly wiped out of existence and only 1 musician remembers them. That's OK, but if you want to check out more of his work, I'd recommend Shallow Grave, with an even younger Ewan McGregor, Christopher Eccleston, who later played Dr Who, and Lilly Allan's dad, Keith, who was haggling the price with Begbie in this.

Hi King Boomer, only been watching you and Queen Boomer doing the inbetweeners reactions for a little while now and just wanted to say thank you guys for all the hard work you do. Another film recommendation is 51st State with Robert Carlisle and Samuel L Jackson, it’s a classic.

Trainspotting, great film with a great cast - especially Ewan Bremner’s Spud & Robert Carlyle’s Begby. It’s got some strong scenes. I went to the premier in Glasgow, and remember someone shouted out “you’re sick” and walked out, when they had the baby scenes. I watched the sequel which I think I preferred for the story, but I think the first one might have been funnier, even if it was quite strong at points. Not sure if you know this, but the guy who played Mikey is Irvine Welsh, the author of the books that the film is based on.

The uncut version has Rents seeing "mother superior" begging in the train station (if my memory serves) after losing his legs. And to think Politicians at the time said it glorified heroin use!

Definitely give trainspotting 2 a watch, absolutely brilliant movie also and as u says twice in this reaction about the music, the soundtrack is brilliant also. It's the same cast and begby who is known as Franco is just as mental lol

T2 is well worth a watch. When I first saw it I wasn't expecting very much, but honestly it's an extremely impressive sequel that is on par with the original, in my humble opinion. Definitely give it a watch, even if it's not on the channel. What you should watch next for a good British film is This Is England. I doubt any of your followers would disagree with me there

T2 is ok but I’d recommend Shallow Grave, the movie Boyle did before Trainspotting with Ewan McGregor- dark, funny, and brilliant. Heroin is still a big issue in the U.K., our system is broken but no one cares and yes the baby still haunts me! Big up Sis Boomer too, she has great taste in movies!

King Boomer, this really is one of the greatest indie movies of all time! It's of our answer to Pulp Fiction here in the UK. The soundtrack is the best compilation of the 90s, I think...It introduced a lot of us to Iggy Pop, Lou Reed and Underworld, etc. Robert Carlyle is brilliant as Begbie; I admit I only understand like 30% of what he's saying though. His pub story about "playing pool like Paul fookin Newman" is top shelf. Knowing him would be a nightmare but man he's funny.

Great reaction bud,, especially at Spud's sheets.😂 Although it's meant to be Edinburgh the school scene was filmed in Glasgow and the nightclub as well. Many times did me & the lads would leave the pub and walk the short distance to the Volcano in the Patrick area of Glasgow. Got me aw nostalgic😁 The guy playing Mikey Forester who sold Renton the suppositories was the guy who wrote the book, Irvine Welsh.

It’s a hard watch this film , but it’s also a classic . It also spawned a name for every town and villages hardest guy in Scotland …”Begbie” 😅 👍🏴

The book has some additional stuff in there which flesh out the characters a bit more. The bulk of it is written in phonetic Scottish (Renton is the narrator) and takes a while to get used to reading

Still one of my Top 10 movies of all time. The soundtrack is brilliant indeed. In fact it's so brilliant it even got two soundtrack CDs. Both equally great.
