We’ve had our summer holiday, and now we are back for season 2 and back to episodes coming out every two weeks. None of that weekly nonsense again, and all the episodes are brand new – no more second-hand, hand-me-downs. Joined by Graham (POP SCREEN) & Andy (ROAD TO KNOWHERE). […]
UNCUT
Alexander MacKendrick (The Man with a White Suit & Sweet Smell of Success)
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 […]
Jackie Chan (Police Story & Who Am I?)
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 […]
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 […]
Larry Cohen (God Told Me To & Bone)
Down to the final month of Patreon Migrations here on Directors Uncut. This week, it is the turn of Gutterpunk legend, Larry Cohen. Joined by Graham (POP SCREEN) and CLIFF (DEVIL TIMES FIVE), the first movie we cover is his oddball 1970s sci fi-religious-cop-horror, God Told Me To – a […]
Mark Duplass (Puffy Chair & Creep)
This week on the podcast we dip back into the Patreon archive with Mark Duplass, however, given the nature of the body of his work – we decided to have one film from this directorial canon and one from his body of work as a writer-producer. In the first half, […]
Karel Zeman (Invention for Destruction & Krabat, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice)
Here’s the last brand new episode of season one. The rest will be Patreon migrations with extended new bits at the end, and we couldn’t have picked a better director for this – Karel Zeman. Now, I appreciate this director may not be immediately recognisable. Still, you can bet he […]
Nicholas Meyer (Time After Time & The Day After)
It would’ve been very easy to use the Wrath of Khan as the episode image, but that would’ve built up false expectations from Star Trek fans and this podcast won’t be doing any of that. Star Wars neither. Instead, the image is from a 1973 film he wrote, Invasion of […]
Don Siegel (Invasion of the Body Snatchers & Escape from Alcatraz)
EPISODE 15 Onwards and upwards with the great Patreon Migration, this week it’s the turn of one of Clint Eastwood’s biggest directorial inspirations, Don Siegel. Rob is joined by Graham and Aidan to talk about 1956’s iconic and landmark sci-fi classic, Invasion of the Body Snatchers which isn’t quite as […]
Robert Wise (The Day the Earth Stood Still & Odds Against Tomorrow)
EPISODE 14 Motorboating our way through the Patreon archive, slowly but surely. This week, I am joined by Andrew (BEHOLD) and Graham (POP SCREEN) to talk about a true master of cinema who spanned all the genres and styles – Robert Wise. With a filmography that covers everything from the […]
