The Uncut Network - Directors, Actors and Genres

By: The Geek Show
  • Summary

  • Directors Uncut has evolved to become the Uncut Network. Joined by an array of cool voices from the UK podcasting scene, Rob looks at movies in all shapes and sizes. Each episode focusing on one filmmaker from the many walks of life and corners of the globe, we've also got the same for fan favourite actors and obscure, and weird sub-genres. Seriously, we get super specific. We touch on everything on the Uncut Network. It is is the Movie Podcast with all the niches! …Mostly. We don't do musicals.

  • Reese Shearsmith (Psychoville, A Field in England & Inside No 9)
    May 9 2024

    A little later than planned due to issues with our editing software, but here we are, better late than never, with British TV favourite, Reese Shearsmith.


    And there we have it, TV favourite, this is a very different episode than usual due to us covering two TV shows (and a movie) instead of the typical three movies. That trio includes Psychoville, Ben Wheatley's A Field in England and Inside No. 9. And to discuss these trilogy of Reese Shearsmith projects, Rob is joined by Faye (twitter), Caitlyn (linktree) and Mike (linktree).


    When I'm not putting my foot in my mouth, we touch upon Byker Grove, Bob Mortimer, The League of Gentlemen, theatre adaptations, and much much more. And if you enjoy what you hear, consider subscribing and leaving us a rating to help the show out. If you want even more, we have a PATREON. Where you can find our spin off show, Uncut from the Video Aisle - which is just off the back of a Mr Vampire Series. A Bonus episode of our sister show, Pop Screen. And the monthly roundup pod, Last Night (you guessed it, which drops on the last night of every month). As well as much, much more.

  • Park Chan Wook (Thirst & The Handmaiden) PART TWO
    Apr 11 2024

    We are back for more on podcast favourite, Park Chan Wook, as part of the Directors Uncut Cycle. Join Rob, Andrew, James and Ben for more chat about the korean director made famous by the Vengeance Trilogy and part of a trio of men who launched Korean Movies onto the world at large.


    We looked at one of his outliers and sole straight-horror feature, 2009's Thirst. Then, we hop skip and jump over to his most acclaimed movie, his most recent classic, The Handmaiden from 2016. We also chat about his career at large, vampire movies from asia and his incorporation of comedy into very, very, very dark movies.

    If you enjoy this episode, you can get more of the same over on ⁠PATREON⁠. We have our spin off podcast, Uncut from the Video Aisle, which has two more episodes on Hong Kong favourite, Mr Vampire, before we launch into our next mini-series. And there's also our monthly check in podcast, Last Night and a bonus episode of our sister pod, Pop Screen.

  • Park Chan Wook (OldBoy & Lady Vengeance) PART ONE
    Mar 29 2024

    We return to the Directors cycle on the Uncut Network with the first two part episode in a while, but he more than deserves such a treatment.

    Rob is joined by Rabia (RPISH) and Ygraine (What A Scream) to talk about one of Korea's greatest ever cinematic exports, Park Chan Wook. This first episode is focusing primarily on the Vengeance trilogy, specifically the landmark success that was OldBoy and perenially slept on Lady Vengeance. Along the way we also talk about Park Chan Wook's sense of style, his evasion of easy answers and how the OldBoy remake was so bad it became openly racist... Oof.

    There are some technical gremlins in this edit, I tried multiple versions and they where all infected. But worry not they won't affect the listening experience of this episode too badly. And if you do enjoy this episode, which should be pretty easy as its great, you can get more of the same over on PATREON. We have our spin off podcast, Uncut from the Video Aisle, which is in the middle of a mini-series about Hong Kong favourite, Mr Vampire. And there's also our monthly check in podcast, Last Night.
