Join us for the concluding part of our look at Stanley Kubrick, and this time out we hit two of his biggest and most influential films.
Rob is joined by Gav (My Favourite Film) & Vincent (Invasion of the Pody People), and first, we look at the godfather of the modern sci-fi film, 1968’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. There’s a confusing sentence. A film whose influence spreads across most of pop culture, from the Simpsons to Steven Spielberg and beyond. And then, we jump into horror for Stephen King’s “favourite movie”, The Shining. A film credited as one of the best horror movies of all time, as well as one of the scariest. A stacked double bill if ever there was one.
Then in the final section of the show, we talk about Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, Henry Selick’s Wendell & Wild as well as other things that weren’t produced by Netflix. Some stuff is on Prime too. Exotic, right?
