Pop Screen finishes 2023 with a movie that could not be less stock to our ears – Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky’s Metallica: Some Kind of Monster. Granted unprecedented levels of access to the world’s biggest heavy metal band, the directors of the Paradise Lost trilogy made a raw documentary […]

S03E10 – Michael Caine (Muppets Christmas Carol, The Prestige & Get Carter)
It’s only a Christmas Special. Join Rob and his guest co-hosts, Vincent and Graham, as we talk about royalty of the British screen, Michael Caine. We look at three vastly different eras of his career. We have Get Carter, then his collaborations with Christopher Nolan with the Prestige and then […]
Mariah Carey in Glitter (2001) – Episode 110
All we want for Christmas is this: Mariah Carey’s notorious film vehicle is the subject of Pop Screen’s festive episode. Equally reviled and unfortunate, it’s the tale of a foster child who grows up into an aspiring singer, and whose rise to fame is, shall we say, subtly patterned on […]
S03E09 – Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive & The Neon Demon)
No Christmas Special yet, that is next time out, but we do have an almighty fan favourite – or he was for a few years anyway. Join Rob, Vincent and a debuting Simon as we talk about the Danish agent provocateur Nicolas Winding Refn. Specifically, we talk about his 2011 […]
Nick Cave in 20000 Days on Earth (2014) – Episode 109
Get ready for (a) love (-in): Graham is joined once again by the Uncut Network‘s Rob for a look at Iain Forsythe and Jane Pollard’s massively acclaimed sort-of documentary about Nick Cave. As well as providing an intimate look at the Australian legend’s creative process and history, it also features […]
S03E08 – The Soska Sisters (American Mary & Rabid)
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 […]

On this week’s Pop Screen, Graham has a very important and special guest: Mark’s dog! And, fine, yes, also Mark, with our favourite quizmaster and Film Stories writer coming back to talk about Russell T Davies’s most personal drama. Set across the early years of the AIDS crisis, It’s a […]
S03E07 – 90s Teen Movies (Feat. Clueless and More)
We continue our first ever genres uncut month with another dip into the pool that was the 1990s. This time, teen movies, which is basically just all of the 90s, right? Rob is joined by Graham (Pop Screen) and Robyn (The Geek Show/Ghouls Magazine) to talk about the weirdest but […]
Dexter Gordon in ‘Round Midnight (1986) – Pop Screen 107
Our Halloween special is over and done with, but this week Graham faces his most terrifying challenge yet – enjoying a film about jazz. If you’re going to watch one film about jazz, though, Bertrand Tavernier’s Round Midnight is the one to watch. Its bona fides are impeccable: named after […]
S03E06 – Post Scream Slasher Boom (I Know What You Did Last Summer
We roll into town with the first ever episode of Genres Uncut of this new look version of the podcast, and to kick things off we start on yours truly’s formative decade – the 1990s. There was so many directions to go with in 1990s, as, in my opinion its […]
