Bucket list for tonight's show -- our guest is Jay Weidner, a filmmaker, author and scholar known for (among many things) his 3-part docuseries "Kubrick's Odyssey" as well as his appearance in Rodney Ascher's "Room 237". The final film in the Kubrick Odyssey Trilogy is A Clockwork Shining, which can be seen on Tubi and Prime Video, and posits an interesting theory: the film is not a horror film at all, but rather a story about the infamous CIA MK Ultra mind control experiments.

99% of the world's population asks questions; but it is that rare 1% that searches and finds answers. I have followed Jay's tenacity in uncovering life's mysteries for over a decade, and have my "eyes wide opened". I recommend you check out his website, books, and film work -- it literally could blow your mind.
