The hosts on Danny Boyle
Adam is a Danny Boyle fan who followed everything he made up to The Beach. He says he loved Shallow Grave, 28 Days Later and Trainspotting, then drifted away from Boyle around The Beach, partly because of Leonardo DiCaprio.

He enjoyed 28 Years Later, which Boyle directed with Alex Garland writing. He also credits Boyle's work with getting Alex Garland to write 28 Days Later, which changed Garland's career. He notes that Boyle has said he writes to music.
In their own words
Adam I've not seen The Beach. I again, it's I think that was the point where I sort of drifted away from Danny Boyle's stuff and only previously because up until that point I'd been like, I'd watched everything that had come out because I love Shallow Grave and 28 Days Later and Trainspotting and everything. But yeah, I think The Beach was, I think it was also probably because it was like, no watching Leonardo the fucking DiCaprio.
We have been watching Bonus EpisodeAdam And, um, yeah, I really, I really enjoyed it.
Ep 248 We Have Been WatchingAdam Um, well, I'm going to. First off, I'm going to go with, um, I finally, I finally watched 28 Years Later. And, um, I don't know, um, I don't know if because obviously I know you're an Alex Garland fan, Chris, and obviously it's him writing again, Danny Boyle directing.
Ep 248 We Have Been WatchingAdam I mean, I'd love to cover Annihilation on the show at some point, because again, I think that really. Because Alex Garland, it's the weird thing when he because obviously he wrote, um, the Beach, um, like the book of the Beach. And it was only when Danny Boyle did that and then got him to write 28 Days Later. And basically, yeah, Alex Garland completely changed his career and it was like, oh, I'm going to be a novelist, and then it suddenly, oh, no, I'm actually probably one of the best sci-fi writers and directors of the last 10 years. So I'll just bash that out in between like Leonardo DiCaprio pissing off a lot of people in Bali.
Ep 118 Attack the BlockAdam It's got to speed you black and it's actually, um, it's Hastings from their album. F Sharp A Sharp Infinity. And apparently, Danny Boyle said that he uses music when he writes. And that album was basically, as he said, that's what he wrote the film to.
