    I can't believe I'm writing another one of these fucking descriptions, no one reads them do they? I'm spending so much time on this when I've actually got loads of other stuff on. I'm incredibly busy, I'm trying to pitch a bloody Warhammer show to Henry Cavill (I call him Cavill) and it's not going brilliantly. Back to the drawing board with that. But I've got loads of other stuff on. Loads of stuff. So... Yeah, be grateful that I'm taking the time to write this, I'm still bloody writing it. Even now I'm still writing it. If you've made it this far leave a comment because how else will I get validation? Cavills ignoring my emails.


    We've got another exceptional show for you! We go live on Tiktok (for a bit), talk about our trips abroad (business trips) and a lovely letter from friend of the show Ms Taylor-Joy. All real letters. All of them.


    If you've not subscribed yet I will come for you.


    Cheers.

    Welcome back to another award winning episode (and they are episodes) of our award winning show (and it is a show.) We'd like to take this quick opportunity to apologise for comments made on the last Lack of Focus episode (and they are episodes), all of us here at the Lack of Focus show (and it is a show) take it very seriously, we've rapidly moved to resolve the issue and two of our senior producers have been fired.


    We've got another exceptional show for you! All of your favourite bits are here, Matt, Harvey, constantly varying lighting, microphones, energy drinks, hair cuts... Agony aunts. All of your favourites. All of them.


    If you've not subscribed yet what the living piss are you doing.


    Cheers.

  • Lack of Focus #29 - Acting is National Service, in a way... - with Matt Bentley & Harvey Quinn

    Welcome 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.

  • Lack of Focus #28 - Post BAFTA Special - with Matt Bentley & Harvey Quinn

    Welcome 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.

    Welcome 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.com


    Cheers,

    Harvey & Matt

  • Lack of Focus #26 - Do blondes have more fun? - with Matt Bentley & Harvey Quinn
    Apr 17 2024

    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.

  • Lack of Focus #25 - History 3: Rise of the Machines - with Matt Bentley & Harvey Quinn (and History)
    Apr 4 2024

    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.

  • Lack of Focus #24 - Dune 2 and other trivial items - with Matt Bentley & Harvey Quinn
    Mar 23 2024

    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.
