January 06, 2015The Shining (Part 3)For a third and final time we revisit The Shining, this time focusing on the myriad fan theories about the film, particularly those explored in the documentary Room 237. Plus, is Toy Story 3 an allegory for The Shining? (1:24:36)...more1h 25minPlay
December 23, 2014The Shining (Part 2)In the second installment about Kubrick's massively popular horror film, Bill and Renan get into the film's remarkable use of Steadicam, mid-70s non-chic costumes, a scene deleted after the first weekend of release and the long-running feud between Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick.

December 09, 2014The Shining (Part 1)It's been written that every Stanley Kubrick movie is a horror film—it's just that only one actually fits into the genre. This is the one! Kubrick's alternately creepy and campy The Shining (1980) took five years to make, arrived to middling reviews, and later became perhaps his most obsessed-over creation. The first part focuses on the project's origins, actors, sets and locations. (1:50:30)...more1h 51minPlay
November 25, 2014Unrealized ProjectsStanley Kubrick made thirteen feature-length films, and considered making many more.

November 11, 2014Barry LyndonBarry Lyndon is a strange one in Kubrick's career: a mixed critical reaction and disappointing box office upon its release, the film has undergone a near-complete reappraisal but has not entered the pop culture canon like the films which surround it. In the 17th episode of KubrickCast, Bill and Renan try to get to the bottom of this mystery. (1:32:47)...more1h 33minPlay
October 28, 2014A Clockwork Orange (Part 2)In this installment, Bill and Renan debate the themes of A Clockwork Orange, discuss its release in the US and the UK, the reviews both scathing and sympathetic, Kubrick's decision to withdraw it from circulation in England and what that means. The show also explores references to other Kubrick work in this film, pop culture refernences to this one, and Bill makes Renan try to guess what a parental guidance website says about it.
