Gregory Peck (To Kill A Mockingbird, The Omen & More)
This time on Uncut we are heading to Classic Era Hollywood with one of the great movie stars, Gregory Peck.
Rob is joined by Graham (Pop Screen), Clotilde (Twitter), and Aidan (LB) to talk about Gregory Peck through three different eras of his illustrious career. We start off in the 1940s and Alfred Hitchcock, with 1945’s Spellbound, co-starring Ingrid Bergman. Then we head off to the 1960s for his most famous movie, the 1962 adaptation of Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird. And then we finished it off in the 1970s, with his other famous turn in 1976’s legendary horror classic, The Omen from Richard Donner.
We also find room to talk about Salvadore Dali, Depictions of Racism, Bad Dogs, and much, much more, including some other Peck movies you should check out.

There’s also podcasts, including a bonus episode of our sister podcast, Pop Screen, and the monthly catch-up episode, Last Night. In which, cleverly, it’s released on the last day of the month and we talk about what we’ve been watching. Uncut from the Video Aisle, this podcast's spin-off, is currently on a development sabbatical. Check things out over there for developments, as soon as they drop.
Until next time, thanks for listening!
