If you ever do anything when ill, make sure you have three thoughtful and intelligent people with you to back you up.

We might be a day late in getting the show out, but in doing that we bring with us violently futile gestures, and doves flying through the air in show motion as we dive through the air dual weilding handguns. Rob is joined by Larry (Your Move Creep) & Ben (Cymreig Samurai) to talk about this uniquely Hong Kong style of action cinema. In this episode the trio talk about The Long Arm of the Law (1984), Full Contact (1992) and the one movie of this type that everyone knows, Hard Boiled. It's

We return for another fan favourite in this latest Actors Uncut cycle with Jamie Lee Curtis.Joined by Gav and an Andy who never turns up (this is another cursed episode), we look at John Carpenter's 1980's movie, The Fog. A very under-appreciated antithesis to 1990s cop thrillers with Blue Steel. And we finish it with Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1994 subversive classic, True Lies. Along the way, Rob and Gav talk about her run as the trailerblazing Final Girl as well as her lack of leading

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),

For the second of this month's Genres Uncut episodes, never say that we don't cover movies that aren't my speed.While I may not be a fan of Westerns, I have been joined by people a lot more enthusiastic to talk about this Historic American Genre.

Specifially, member of the unholy trinity - Blood on Satan's Claw. Whatever you'd call Psychomania. And we finish on something altogether classier in sub-genre defining Penda's Fen by Alan Clarke.

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, that they won't be another podcast from me until 2nd Feb. That list of people is with Rob - Kat, Naomi, (also

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 one. Surgery. Then we head over to the dangerous grounds of the horror remake with 2019's spookily nostalgic Rabid

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 a classic cinema decade. However, we started on that wave of Slasher Horror movies that were birthed by the studio system after the runaway success of Wes Craven's Scream. We have already featured that 1996 hit movie on our Wes Craven
