IN ALL ITS FURY AND VIOLENCE… LIKE NO OTHER PODCAST SINCE “BLANK CHECK” AND “THE BIG PICTURE”!

This week, we kick off our most ambitious series yet: a retrospective on the films of Stanley Kubrick, one by one, from the very beginning, INCLUDING BARRY LYNDON (that sound you just heard was Shwin crying in anguish). We start with Kubrick’s first two studio pictures, THE KILLING and PATHS OF GLORY.

Topics include: the historical context in which Kubrick came to self-actualize as an “auteur;” which directors and films were inspired by The Killing’s non-linear, cerebral approach to a pulpy crime plot (we’re looking at you, Nolan and Tarantino),  and whether or not Paths of Glory should be considered a satire.
