This week on Deep Cuts: The Game, Jeff Penn is joined by guest Jared Rivet, along with Craig Smeaton and co-host Alex Young, for another deep dive into movies, television, and the wonderfully obscure names hiding in the credits!

Jared talks about his work in the wild world of Asylum films, his experience writing for the beloved horror series Are You Afraid of the Dark?, and plenty more from his career in film and television.

Then it’s game time! Our three contestants head into a world of bureaucratic nightmares, comic-book-inspired horror, and a Tinseltown fairy tale where history might not unfold exactly as you remember it.

Great guests, great movies, and some seriously deep cuts. Can Jared, Craig, or Alex come out on top?

Deep Cuts = More Points!

Then, it’s time to put their movie knowledge to the test with three game selections featuring a chilling serial killer investigation, a desperate search for missing children, and a small-town mystery that takes a very dark turn. How deep does their film knowledge go? There’s only one way to find out!

This week on Deep Cuts, we’re joined by Liz and Ryan, the hosts of Filmmaker Faceoff, for a fun conversation about movies, making connections, and some seriously deep pop culture knowledge!

We chat about how Liz and Ryan first met on The Floor, Ryan’s early career working on cult favourites like The Monster Squad and Kids Incorporated, and how their own filmmaking journeys led them to hosting Filmmaker Faceoff. Along the way, we get into their experiences in the industry, the projects that have shaped their careers, and what happens when filmmakers put their movie knowledge to the test.

Then it’s time to play Deep Cuts, where three films, a whole lot of actors, and some unexpected connections make for a fantastic game. Liz and Ryan bring their A-game, but who will come out on top when the credits roll?

Great guests, great stories, and a game packed with memorable faces from some beloved films. You won’t want to miss this one!

This week on Deep Cuts, we’re joined by director Gloria Mercer and writer Aidan West to talk about their new film, A Safe Distance , a tense, intimate thriller about relationships, freedom, danger, and the unexpected paths that can take you from one life into another.

We dig into how the film came together, their long-running creative partnership, the movies that inspired them, and what it takes to bring a story like this to the screen.

Then we put Gloria and Aidan to the ultimate test with three Deep Cuts: two women on the run, one very complicated criminal enterprise, and a whole lot of money that nobody should probably be carrying around.

They made the movie. They know movies. But do they know the actors?

DEEP CUTS = MORE POINTS.

After a little break, Deep Cuts is back! 🎬

Jeff Penn and Alex Young are joined by Seth from the Movie Friends Podcast and filmmaker Brian Lockyer for a packed episode of movie talk, behind-the-scenes stories, and, of course, some serious Deep Cuts.

We sit down with Brian to talk about his film Snow Blinded, the filmmaking process, bringing a movie to life, and all the movie influences that go into making a film of your own.

Then it’s time to put everyone’s movie knowledge to the test as Seth, Brian, Alex and Jeff dive into another round of Deep Cuts — digging into three very different movies and seeing who can pull the most obscure actors from the depths of their movie memories.

Expect plenty of laughs, movie nostalgia, questionable confidence, and the usual arguments over whether that guy was actually in that movie.

Great movies. Great guests. And some seriously deep cuts.

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!
