The Uncut Network - Directors, Actors and Genres

Series 2 may be over, even so changes are afoot for Directors Uncut.

As you've probably noticed in your podcast feed, the name of the podcast has changed from Directors Uncut to the Uncut Network. Rob explains the why's, who's and what for's in this bonus episode. Exciting times ahead. The only thing I will say in this episode description is that after today, we are having a 6 week break before series 3 kicks off around the 11th of August.

It won't be total radio silence between now and then, as if I could. Check out our PATREON where you can listen to our monthly rambly episode about stuff we've been watching that has taken our eye, and Uncut from the Video Aisle - the first episode of which you get for free here on the main feed. In the first outing of Uncut from the Video Aisle, I am joined by Kat, Andy and Mike to talk about Vincezo Natali's 1997 breakout Cube and the series that came from it. Future episodes are rough, watch along with us.

Until we return proper on the 11th August, welcome to the Uncut Network!

Ben Wheatley (Kill List & In the Earth) - Series 2 Finale

And with this, Series 2 is done and dusted. To close out this sophomore series, we looked at British fan favourite, Ben Wheatley, with the debuting Caitlyn and Faye, as well as the returning Kat and Mike.

For this episode we get deep into the weeds of 2011's evergreen Hitman/Gangster/Cult/Folk Horror, Kill List. And by deep I mean deep, this is the single most exhaustive episode we have done in a long time and it was an absolute delight to be be part of. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did hosting and editing it. Then in the second half, we look at the much more divisive pandemic-era folk horror in the woods techno horror with In the Earth. Yeah, Mr Wheatley's movies evade easy characterisation. Not to front load the episode too much, we dig deep into this 2021 movie too, finding a movie that is so diverse that it means something different to all of us.

If you enjoyed this episode, give the podcast a rating or review wherever you found us - or share us with your friends. Either way, we'd be so appreciative. Beyond that, check out our PATREON for Articles on Dr Who, Asian Movie unreleased in the UK, Bonus episodes of our sister podcast - Pop Screen, Monthly rundown Podcast, Last Night. And, the soon to be launched series of Mini-Series's: Uncut from the Video Aisle. Series 3 will be undergoing a very different change of face, so keep an eye on this feed in the coming days for news on that as well as a sneak-peak of the first episode of Uncut from the Video Aisle. Until then, stay tasty.

Opening Series 3 is James Whale, check out this article written by friend of the pod, Ygraine, about the icon himself - horrifiedmagazine.co.uk/film/james-whale-god-of-monsters/

Next Episode

S03E01: The Old Dark House & Bride of Frankenstein

We are back, and with a new name to boot!

In this inaugral episode of series 3, the newly dubbed Uncut Network heads into the world of classic Horror royalty and the Universal Monsters cycle with James Whale.

Joined by Graham (Pop Screen) & Robyn (Twitter), the trio discuss the archetypal Old Dark House (1932) and The Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Beyond that the episode also touches on the rampant LGBT subtexts, the Hays Code, and just how iconic James Whale's vision of the eponymous monster and his beau have become. All that as well as this whole episode being a bit of an Ernest Thesiger appreciation hour, too. And rightly so.

If you enjoyed this show, consider giving it a rating and review wherever you get your podcasts from. We also have a patreon, if you really liked it. Where you can get episodes of our pureblood horror spin-off Uncut from the Video Aisle, which is about to start a series on Spanish found footage series [REC], there's also our monthly anything goes pod, Last Night, and bonus episodes of our sister podcast, Pop Screen. Beyond that, we have copious articles on Dr Who, X-Files, Red Dwarf and Asian Movies unseen and underappreciated on these shores. But if all of that isn't your thing, we will see you next time with Sofia Coppola.
