  • Season 3 Episode 30: Tonight's Broadcast with Cecil Baldwin (#107)
    Aug 23 2026

    Things get gloriously weird on Episode 107 of Deep Cuts: The Game as Jeff and Alex Young are joined by Nick Mear from the Nickflix Podcast and acclaimed voice actor Cecil Baldwin, best known as the voice of Cecil Gershwin Palmer from Welcome to Night Vale and for his work on Random Number Generator #9.


    Cecil takes us behind the scenes of his career, from voice acting and storytelling to some of the unexpected places his work has taken him—including a few deep dives into the wonderfully strange world of Gravity Falls.


    Then, as always, it's game time. Three films. Three players. And a mission to dig through the cast lists and uncover the most obscure, unexpected and downright random actors imaginable.


    Who remembers the faces hiding in the background? Who can pull out the ultimate Deep Cut? And who is about to discover that knowing a movie really well can sometimes be a curse?


    The deeper the cut, the more points they get!

  • Season 3 Episode 29: Laurie Love: Action, Stunts & Deep Cuts (#106)
    Aug 16 2026

    This week on Deep Cuts: The Game, we’re joined by actress Laurie Love, alongside co-host Alex Young and the return of Shea from Film War!

    Laurie takes us behind the scenes of her career and the many different hats she’s worn in the entertainment industry. We talk acting, stunts, casting, and even the all-important world of craft services — because apparently, surviving Hollywood requires knowing where the snacks are.

    Then it’s game time! Three massive movies go under the Deep Cuts microscope, as our players try to dig up the most obscure, unexpected, and downright “Wait… THEY were in that?!” actors they can remember.

    It’s another episode packed with movie trivia, Hollywood stories, questionable memories, and some seriously deep cuts.

    The deeper the cut, the more points they get!

  • Season 3 Episode 28: Neighbours, Nightmares & Miniature Worlds with Charles Pieper (#105)
    Aug 9 2026

    In this episode of Deep Cuts, co-host Alex Young is joined by frequent guest Craig Smeaton and special guest, film writer Charles Pieper, for a conversation that moves between filmmaking, miniature worlds, and the bizarre realities of everyday life.

    Charles shares insights into his work, creative process, and the stop-motion projects he has on the horizon—exploring the patience, imagination, and strange details that make handcrafted filmmaking so distinctive. From there, things get more personal as the conversation turns to crazy neighbours, memorable encounters, and the kind of stories that are almost too strange to be true.

    We also dig into our reactions to the latest alien-disclosure release, discussing its big ideas, its impact, and where it lands for us. To round things off, the game takes us through three spooky, gothic, and wonderfully offbeat cinematic worlds.

    It’s a funny, strange, and delightfully unpredictable episode of Deep Cuts.
