The Uncut Network - Directors, Actors and Genres Podcast artwork

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.

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.

Mar 01 2024 92 mins  
For the second of this month's Genres Uncut episodes, never say that we don't cover movies that aren't my speed.

We are back to the cycle of Genre's Uncut and this time we are making camp in the 1970s.

Jan 04 2024 174 mins  
Mamma Mia, here we go again. 2023 is done and dusted and it's that time of the year for all podcasts to come together and review the past 12 months. Instead of a bog standard top 10 run down we are trying something different. Once again though, collaborating with our sister podcast, Pop Screen - fronted by Graham. Join me and Graham is a long list of people, so long, in fact

We return to the lands of directors uncut for our first ever episode talking about a duo, the lucky pair are canadian fan favorites - the Soska Sisters. Joined by Kat and Kim (for the first time), we are simutaenously compelled and repelled by the body modification community in their breakout hit American Mary. Seriously though, my real world button came home to roost with this on
