In this episode of the show we are getting ready for a Christmas zombie apocalypse together with the cast of Anna and the Apocalypse. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about the many ways one could execute a gimmick, the idea of mashing up genres, how much this movie owes to Edgar Wright and whether it would have been better off if it had committed to either of the elements it was trying to mash together! Merry Zombie Christmas!

Previous Episode

Episode 151 - Krampus

In this episode of the show we are continuing our December theme of Holiday Horror with the 2015 Krampus. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us wonder if this movie is a Christmas film, a dark fairy tale, a horror or a combination of all three, how much it owes to Joe Dante and Guillermo Del Toro, whether it is actually scary and if if even matters in the first place. We also talk about the film's dysfunctional family dynamic, the woes of raising bilingual children, Toni Collette's feng shui skills and much more!

Next Episode

John Cassavetes 12 - Big Trouble (teaser)

Here's a short teaser of the twelfth and final episode of the 2023 edition of Uncut Gems Marathons where we will - one by one - re-trace the directorial career of John Cassavetes. We are finally coming to a close of our year-long journey through the cinema of John Cassavetes and we finish with Big Trouble. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about this movie being a job for hire, whether it carries some Cassavetes DNA in it, if Alan Arkin and Peter Falk had enough chemistry to make the movie a success, and how Beverly D'Angelo is a comedic gem. We also spend some time looking back upon our time watching all Cassavetes films, reflect on what we learned in the process, and share our top moments too.
