Lack of Focus

A podcast series which follows the unplanned, unedited and completely improvised hour (and change) of actors Matt Bentley and Harvey Quinn on a semi regular basis.IG: @lackoffocuspodcastTiktok: @lack_of_focusEmail: thetruthdoesntrhyme@gmail.comWelcome back to another award winning episode (and they are episodes) of our award winning show (and it is a show.) The awards have been multiple. We haven't actually recieved the physical awards yet but we're more than sure they're in the post. There's been a backlog or something. The point is we are a critical darling.This week we talk National Service, Hemmingway, Paul Newman of Newman's Own fame and the fact that Harvey has been getting utterly destroyed online for his insincere opinion on Poor Things. The genre of this show is fiction. We are telling you this in a very direct manner. When will you learn?We also have a very well planned and organised agony aunt section of which we didn't have enough time to get through so we only got to the letter that Harvey wrote. We will work on execution moving forward.Two of our producers have been fired. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A podcast series which follows the unplanned, unedited and completely improvised hour (and change) of Matt Bentley and Harvey Quinn on a semi regular basis.IG: @lackoffocuspodcastTiktok: @lack_of_focusEmail: thetruthdoesntrhyme@gmail.comWelcome back to our post BAFTA special where we talk about the recent TV BAFTA's for a full hour! We did get nominated for Best Actor, Best TV Show (and it is a show) and Best Comedy Writing but we didn't recieve the letters as Harvey burns all fan mail. And rightly so. Who's sending physical letters in 2024? What about climate change Jane Millichip? Have you thought about that Jane?If we had recieved the letters we would have turned down the awards anyway. We've got different goals. Loftier goals. Bigger goals. So why don't you fuck off? We aren't bothered at all, you can take your awar-The producers would like to take this opportunity to thank the BAFTA panel and the National Farmers Union for all of their ongoing hard work. The Lack of Focus Podcast is a professional TV show produced, directed, written and performed by Matthew Bentley and Harvey Quinn for Spotify, Youtube and all other digital platforms.

A podcast series which follows the unplanned, unedited and completely improvised hour (and change) of Matt Bentley and Harvey Quinn on a semi regular basis.IG: @lackoffocuspodcastTiktok: @lack_of_focusEmail: thetruthdoesntrhyme@gmail.comWelcome back! To another episode, and they are… Ahhh what’s the fucking point? I spend so long writing these descriptions and NONE of you read them.You really must up learn how to read. Honestly it's an invaluable skill that will get you very far in life and without you will be a bit of a simpleton.. It's unacceptable. Buck your ideas up. Knuckle down.We’ve got a very good show lined up for you! We talk all things film and TV with a good amount of reviews and complaints that neither of us got cast in any of these projects. It’s a piss take actually if you think about it, as we’re both clearly movie star quality. And that’s not even me fucking about for comedy. Put me in your movie, see what happens. I’ll tell you: Money. Aka dollar bills.Do you have a problem that you think we could fix? Do you want us to read out some nonsense? Are you an actor that also wants advice on how to be a legend? Get in touch with us on the email above, or if you're too lazy to scroll up thetruthdoesntrhyme@gmail.comCheers,Harvey & Matt Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome back! The boys are back in town with a brand new show for you. And it is a show.This week we unpack Harvey's choice to dye his hair blonde in a very short sighted attempt to get out of his new contract (we've since explained to him that dying your hair blonde is not a convincing enough disguise and that he'd have to build on it with plastic surgery and an assumed identity, at which point he threw a pain aux raisins at us and left the room.) We also talk Ant & Dec, Back to Black, Monkey Man and how to blag sports chat. Our agony aunt section is back once again and once again the boys are solving the hard hitting business issues / relationship issues plaguing the globe. Have an issue? We've got you, write to us at thetruthdoesntrhyme@gmail.com which is 100% subliminal messaging. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After a long and difficult period of negotiation, we are pleased to announce that Harvey has signed on for another 12 episodes of the critically acclaimed Lack of Focus podcast. He joins critically acclaimed host Matt Bentley as they press ahead into their crowd pleasing second series of the show (and it is a show.) Matt said he was "happy that Harvey has stopped being a child and dropped the multiple lawsuits that he pulled out of his arse in the first place" and that he was looking forward to getting back to work. Harvey when pressed for a comment said "get that fucking microphone out of my face I'm not working until next week."In this weeks episode we cover The London Underground, Ancient Japan, Camden Pubs and much much more. Your favourite Agony Aunt section is of course back with a bang, and it really is a sizzzzzzzzzler. If you are still looking for Matt & Harvey to solve any problem you have, and it really can be anything, then drop us a line to: thetruthdoesntrhyme@gmail.com and we will read it and consider it depending on it's quality. Subliminal messaging is back. It never went away. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome back to one of the shows on the internet! (and it is a show.)We've had a small break as we needed to, no real need to elaborate. Achieving greatness takes time as you know, which is why Harvey is four weeks deep into his unemployment, it's a lifestyle choice. Everything we do is intentional.This week we cover Second Screen movies, Dune 2: The Return of Jafar, The absolute SHIT remake of The Crow, Harvey's long standing heated feud with the Academy and Matt's deep seated hatred of all musicians, which does actually include medieval bards and Frédéric François Chopin.Our critically acclaimed Agony Aunt section is once again back, and this time we pull no punches. As that's what it takes to solve these sorts of issues. Tough love. Soft Hate. And other words that sound meaningful when put together.Have an issue? Write in and we'll solve it. Have a suggestion for the show? Write it down, go outside with it in your hands and await our instructions.thetruthdoesntrhyme@gmail.comLike AND subscribe. Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back! This week we've once again changed things up a bit as we refused to be pinned down. Matt is officially taking the lead once again, making Harvey the esteemed guest of the week. He wants us to make it clear that it's not a relegation or a demotion and that he did a very good job hosting last week... It just didn't make sense for him right now as he's incredibly busy.This week we talk about Harvey's new found unemployment and what he's going to be doing with all the time that he now has. We also talk about gratuitous displays of wealth, radio nonces, over/underrated films in a brand new section and once again, the critically acclaimed Agony Aunt section is back.Come join us for an hour and we shall keep your mind busy with educational topics and break new ground with our thought leadership. Like and bloody subscribe, we've got a lot more to do and we'd love to have you along for the ride.(Are you struggling with anything? Sad thoughts? Wife wont talk to you? Kids hate you? No money? STI? Then we've got you covered! Write in to us at thetruthdoesntrhyme@gmail.com and we will be the answer to all of your problems! Maybe not the STI actually you should probably call up a doctor and dont leave it too long, I'd prioritise actually.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome back! This week we've changed things up a bit and Harvey is officially taking the lead! Making Matt the guest of the week. Guest. No longer the host. (We've been told by our legal team to make this part very clear but we'd both like to add on a personal level that we're confident that the Wildlife Trust eventually will drop all of their petty, immature lawsuits.)We've got a corker of a show lined up for you, featuring a deep dive on videogames and videogame culture, a film review of One, Another (https://amzn.to/48NBNUf) and our long awaited agony aunt section. And it is a section. And this is a show.On the latter section, we really had a good time and we both feel we've really solved some problems. Turned peoples lives around. Given them their lives back, some might even venture to say... So, let's have more problems! Email your life issues to thetruthdoesntrhyme@gmail.com and all shall be taken care of.Like and subscribe.

Welcome back to the inner circle. In this weeks episode (and they are episodes) we finally give the world a review of Barbenheimer, which is actually two separate movies. Weird isn't it? Not a lot of people realise but now you're one of the few that do. You're welcome. This is the inner circle.Other movies are reviewed, even ones that we've not seen, but judgement IS handed out none the less. We also talk about mans inhumanity to man, the war economy, what it means to be human AND ask the question, how many custard creams is it possible for a grown man to eat in one sitting?We don't do any of that actually. But we do plan out an agony aunt section for the next episode. Has your wife left you? Have you got crippling debts? Are you clinically fed up? Then email us at thetruthdoesntrhyme@gmail.com and we can promise that you WILL walk away with your problems solved. Guaranteed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Another week added to the annals of history and we're back with another even more detailed, highly researched episode (and they are episodes.)This week is the sequel to our critically acclaimed history episode. Always give the people what they want, and what they want is to have their minds broadened and expanded at a rapid pace. We've done that. Nailed that. Within the course of the next hour (and a bit, we over ran) you will learn all there is to learn about the 16th Century, Henry the VIII and his non specific number of wives. How many were there really? We get to the bottom of this question that has plagued historians and experts for years.As usual, any feedback please submit to thetruthdoesntrhyme@gmail.com and it will be completely and utterly ignored. Like and subscribe, Harvey needs new clobber. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome back and a happy new year one and all. We've got an absolute belter of an episode for you where we sort of talk in a very meandering fashion for an hour and some change. Maybe you thought the new year would bring a revision to the structure of our show (and it is a show.) Look, everyone else has new years resolutions don't they? Well we don't. Keep yours to yourselves. We plan to stay the same. We're probably going back to the History format next week and I say probably because nothing is guaranteed, you MUST learn to live with that, it'll take you far in life.Topics covered are Tiktok, the Golden Globes, Claudia Winkleman's rascal outfits / suboptimal hairstyle if she ever needs to look off into the distance, auditions and MORE. Once again, we implore you to send us in some mail to thetruthdoesntrhyme@gmail.com and Harvey will have a look at them and then decide to do completely his own thing. 2024 indeed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's the end of 2023, finally. Can you believe it? What a weird year it's been (again ffs) but it is well and truly over! Well, in a couple weeks. But as for us, it's done. Completed. Everything that happens from now until the 1st of January simply doesn't count. And I wont allow it to count.We've got another 5 star show for you, so get comfortable, grab some snacks and PAY ATTENTION. How many times do we have to reiterate that? It's active listening. It's active. Yeah? This week we cover our favourite bits of 2023, talk about Harvey ruining the Bond franchise and we have a corker of a fan mail section for you.Like and subscribe. And as always, email us questions at thetruthdoesntrhyme@gmail.com, the more creative you get with your questioning, the more wound up Harvey will get reading it out. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're back with another top shelf show for you and this time it's our very own Christmas episode (not funded by the BBC, we're not suckling at the teet, but there's always next year.)Once again we've dressed to kill (Xmas hats) and have done thorough research into the history and culture behind Christmas and subsequently gift giving (we've done no research.)Harvey goes off about Peter Rabbit, Matt lays into Sir Michael Caine and we all have a holly jolly good time. One thing we have to bring up, and I wish we didn't have to bring it up but our hands have been forced, is fan mail. You guys have let yourselves down here, but there is always time for repentence and forgiveness. PLEASE email us good questions to thetruthdoesntrhyme@gmail.com and as I said, Harvey WILL do his best. He may mumble, he may shift around and cause mic feedback, but he WILL do his best. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week is all about one topic: History. And yes, I know we're not technically "experts" or "qualified" but what do those words even mean really? I've worn tweed for the occassion and glasses that are 95% ornamental. In our game it's all about image, and we dress to kill (educate.)Tony Robinson made the leap from actor to historian (enthusiast) and the reason he's so good at it is because he's a storyyyy teller. Say one thing for Matt and I, say we spin a hell of a good yarn (story.)But don't you worry, all of your favourite segments are still in tact: The Intro, Fan Mail... The other ones.Once again - send all your questions in to thetruthdoesntrhyme@gmail.com and Harvey will read them out to the very best of his ability. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we go deep into acting, offering our unique perspective and a peek behind the curtain. Big talk only. As usual. This is an educational show, if you want laughs go watch whatever it is you lot like these days. We are here to learn, as should you be. Mind shit. Brain food. Ear nutrition. Watch us though, for GOD SAKE.Send your questions to thetruthdoesntrhyme@gmail.com and they WILL get read out by Harvey, he may mumble, but he'll do his best. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our best show ever, with special guests... To be honest they didn't show up, but we made do without them anyway. The theme of today's episode is "Education" and how we really are trying our best here. Like and subscribe, like... It's mental I have to keep saying it. If you have a question you'd like us to answer on the show please email us at:thetruthdoesntrhyme@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Soft reboot of sorts, still the same format but these days we wont shy away from a little edit here or there to stop us getting more lawsuits. They're stacking up. Libel. Slander. Arson. Larceny. Grand Larceny. Pyromancy. All of them. If you've not liked and subscribed yet honestly what are you doing. We need this to pay the bills so we can live a life of luxury. And I refuse to sign up to the university in Romania, I don't think any of those lads are ever going to get a Bugatti. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
