The Uncut Network - Directors, Actors and Genres

The penultimate episode of Season One, ladies and gentlemen.

This time it’s Jackie Chan’s turn, the martial arts cinema legend held together by sellotape and good luck has helmed a few films behind the camera too. And on this episode, we talk about one of his finest achievements in Police Story & Who Am I?

Rob is joined by Ariel (GHOULS) and James (REVIEWING RODDERS) to ponder all the big questions, like which stunt is the best? and just how is he still alive? Then, in the back half, YGRAINE (WHAT A SCREAM), Graham (POP SCREEN), and Kat (THE HOLLYWOOD NEWS) drop by and talk about new movies like Mad God, The Black Phone, as well as art documentaries and Mexican possession movies.

Until next time, with the season finale – this has been Directors Uncut.

Previous Episode

Lee Chang-Dong (Green Fish & Secret Sunshine)

Onto the finishing strait of season one and its many Patreon cross-migrations, this week Rob is joined by Aidan to discuss the work of Lee Chang-Dong.

Lee Chang-Dong had a brief stint with the South Korean government in their culture department, but he is better known for Burning. Such an anarchist, he is. The films we cover are his 1997 debut, Green Fish and his big international breakthrough, 2007’s Secret Sunshine. Both bleak and interesting in their own unique way.

Then, Rob is joined by Bel (FISHNETS_AND_PHILOSOPHY) and Cliff (DEVIL TIMES FIVE) to discuss sundance standout Brian & Charles, as well as Gateway Horror and the Purge Franchise. A fun week all told.

Three more episodes till the end of the season break, till then, this has been Directors Uncut. Why not check out our sister podcast POP SCREEN – which I recently appeared on to talk about the man who fell to Earth. Also, the YOUTUBE where LISTOMANIA will be making its return.

Alexander Mackendrick (The Man with a White Suit & Sweet Smell of Success) - Series 1 Finale

Season Finale Baby!

This week, I am joined by Graham (POP SCREEN) and Aidan (LB) to talk about Ealing man turned award-winning educator, Alexander MacKendrick. A man whose teachings have been turned into one of the definitive filmmaking books, “on Filmmaking” it’s called, funnily enough. As for his films, we look at one of his Ealing Classics, 1951’s The Man with a White Suit and 1957’s furious New York satire, the Sweet Smell of Success.

Then at the back of the show, I am rejoined by Aidan, as well as Oliver (TWITTER) and Bel (FISHNETS AND PHILOSOPHY) to talk about Coffin Joe, Soho pride, Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis and Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future.
