Deep Cut Upkeep

We cover the new Frederick Wiseman film A COUPLE, one of only 3 fiction films in his 55 year career.

After a brief summer hiatus, the gang (and special guest Thanmye Lagudu) are back to discuss India’s biggest box office draw of the season, and the first part of Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus: Ponniyin Selvan: I.

By the pricking of my thumbs, Deep Cut Upkeep this way comes! We cover Joel Coen's divisive, postmodern take on Shakespeare’s Macbeth.

Deep Cut hits the panic button as our beloved Asghar Farhadi is embroiled in scandal! Former student of Farhadi, Azadeh Masihzadeh, has sued him over the claim that he stole the story for his 2021 release, A Hero, from her 2015 documentary, ⁠All Winners, All Losers⁠. Wilson, Ben, and Eli discuss the dismaying news before talking about A Hero itself.

After adoring director Pablo Larraín’s ⁠Jackie⁠ and ⁠Ema⁠ last season, the Deep Cut Trio discuss his follow-up: Spencer.

Lana Wachowski returns to the Matrix franchise after nearly two decades to put out her most personal work to date. Does it pay off? We’ll have to see as Ben, Eli and Wilson duke it out.
