The Uncut Network - Directors, Actors and Genres

What an episode we have this week.

Rob is joined by Ariel & Rabia (Ride the Omnibus) to conclude our two-parter on Alfonso Cuaron, and what we have is probably our biggest left turn in the podcast's run. To kick things off we talk about Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal's sexy road trip with Maribel Verdu in Y Tu Mama Tambien. Then we head to the Potterverse with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, you know? From the Harry Potter? Wild.

After discussing all things Potter, Mexican road Trips and Cuaron we head to the back end of the show in which we discuss all manner of horror films that have since had their streaming or cinema debuts, from Inu-Oh to Speak no Evil. That and a big old, and very interesting, chat about Korean Cinema and TV.

Until next time, thanks for listening.

Previous Episode

Alfonso Cuaron Part I (Children of Men & ROMA)

Rob is joined by Graham (POP SCREEN), Mike (AUTISTIC GUIDE THROUGH HORROR) and Andy (ROAD TO KNOWHERE) to talk about one of Mexico's finest-ever filmmakers. First up we talked about his ode to his home nation and the litany of difficulties its people suffer through, Roma. Also, it's the first Mexican film to win Best Foreign Film at the Oscars. And we follow that up with one of the finest Sci-fi movies in modern film history, Children of Men. A film, that, hopefully, needs little in the means of introduction.

Next Episode

Stanley Kubrick Part One (A Clockwork Orange & Barry Lyndon)

We are stuck in a loop here on Directors Uncut, double episode after double episode. This time though, we are in the territory of all-time greats - Stanley Kubrick.

Joined by Cliff (Devil Times Five) Andrew (Whitlock and Pope) and Oliver (Left Lion Screen), we look at two wildly different movies from his acclaimed filmography, A Clockwork Orange (1972) - the notorious adaptation of Anthony Burgess's novel starring Malcolm McDowell - and Barry Lyndon (1975) - the so-called ugly duckling of his filmography. Despite feeling like polar extremes, we learn that these two films aren't so different after all. Not to sound like the blurb on the back of a book or anything.

Then in the final section, we talk about Barbarian, Bill & Ted, Satan's Slaves, Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities, and the wonderfully titled, Project Wolf Hunting. Next time on Directors Uncut, part two of Stanley Kubrick, in which we look at his mega-heavyweight hitters.
