Life finds a way to get in the way, meaning that we had to take a little forced break, but we are back with a big name. This time on Uncut, we loop around to directors and it's a big one, Guillermo Del Toro.

Rob is joined by James (Reviewing Rodders), Vincent and Ygraine (What a Scream) to look at three of his gothic delights. We have The Devil's Backbone, his most recent movie Pinocchio and we finish on GDT's most famous movie, Pan's Labyrinth. Join us as we discuss the use of fascism, monsters, guilty pleasures and GDT's ambiguity that leads each of these movies into becoming super bleak. Brilliant, but yeah, very bleak.

Also check out the geek show for an embarrasing of riches, including or sibling podcasts - Pop Screen, and All of Lost Are Lost. We'll be back next time with more GDT and his blocbuster phase. Until then, thanks for listening.
