Thirty years after its release, Trainspotting still hits like a jolt to the system — a film about addiction and dead ends that somehow became a rallying cry for living. John and Miles are joined by Shawn C. Baker (The Horror Vision) to explore how Danny Boyle’s kinetic, transgressive masterpiece turns nihilism into something strangely life-affirming. Why does this film still feel so urgent, and what does it mean to “choose life” today?
