All work and no play make Curtis, Erin, and Gabe (AKA the triplets in the hall) dull podcasters. To spice things up, we booked a trip to Room 237 of the Overlook Hotel. When we arrived, we felt like we’d always been there. As descend into Kubrick’s terrifying foray into horror we discuss which movies haunt us, we debate the merits of Kubrick’s meticulous methods and we look into the Stephen King’s beef.
Other things we discuss:
Salem’s Lot 1979 TV mini series
Kubrick’s disorienting mise-en-scene
Kubrick torments Shelly Duvall
Kubrick’s odd rules for Kidman and Cruise during production of EYES WIDE SHUT
Why did King hate Kubrick’s take
Stephen King’s “magical negro” problem
Diane Arbus’s iconic identical twins
