It is a little too messy to be a turing test, agreed. Sitting opposite something with it being in plain sight cannot be a turing test. Even a test, really.

New Episode of the Podcast, talking about Ex Machina, Men and Civil War. Was a fun return to podcasting, even if my computer would not export the video.

Watch us, and whatever I am constantly distracted by, on YouTube in the Quote.

In the USA the Israelis pay American Politicians $52,000,000 a year to keep them on side.

In the UK it isn't even £1,000,000.

But as you can see they all fall over each other to do their bidding.

Traitors.

#nw killing of a sacred deer for a podcast tonight. I have to ask - why does this have such a strong reputation? I don't get it. I say this as a fan of Lanthimos's work, for the most part, but this one, it's just not doing much for me.

Unite to deal with the cause of ALL the problems, Greed.

It's very patient in its design. Agreed. One of its many, many under-rated traits.

With you there. The entire apocalypse trilogy is great but this one gets completely overlooked for some reason, maybe its too abstract? I don't know

Prince of Darkness (1987) Poster

#nw Prince of Darkness (1987) for a podcast recording later. I know full well how unpopular an opinion this is, but it is one of my favourite Carpenter movies. Mainly as it falls in a favourite horror genre, "sciencing spooky shit", you could call it sci-fi horror but it doesn't capture the vibe.

Finally updated to windows 11 and i hate it. Left it as long as possible, and yeah... Its the typical brand of microsoft shit.

I think if social media just shut down and displayed this image from say midnight to 6am, we’d all have better lives.

I was going to go to Celluloid Screams this year. But an airbnb cancelled on me. Then, yesterday, my hotel cancelled on me. I guess it's just not meant to be - this year anyway.

Too late to book anywhere else now without being price gouged. Frustrating as hell.

Brave new world coming up for Uncut in 2026.

We will be talking to indie filmmakers about their work and their influences. One of their movies, the other 2 will be titles that they love, or are inspired by.

Very excited about this. Its a brave new change and a brave evolution to the uncut podcast. This will be starting in the new year.

#Announcement

Uncut is changing in the new year, evolving.

Well, half of it is. Of the two episodes we do every month, one of those will be staying the same, no changes, same old same old.The other one, however, will be a brave new world.

The new half will be called Uncut Presents...

Here in North Yorkshire, it's about time the legacy of James Cook was looked at with big boy pants on, and new Fantastic Fest movie Marama does just that.
