We are back and with a new name to boot!
In this inaugural episode of series 3, the newly dubbed Uncut Network heads into the world of classic Horror royalty and the Universal Monsters cycle with James Whale.
Joined by Graham (Pop Screen) & Robyn (Twitter), the trio discuss the archetypal Old Dark House (1932) and The Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Beyond that, the episode also touches on the rampant LGBT subtexts, the Hays Code, and just how iconic James Whale’s vision of the eponymous monster and his beau have become. All that as well as this whole episode is a bit of an Ernest Thesiger appreciation hour, too. And rightly so.
