  • Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
    Dec 18 2024

    This week we are looking at Stanley Kubrick’s final film, Eyes Wide Shut, released in 1999, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.


    Set during Christmas, the film follows a doctor who finds out his wife has been thinking about having an affair, and he embarks on this night long odyssey in New York City, which leads him to sneaking into this highly secretive masked orgy.


    We go down a real rabbit hole in this episode, exploring the concept of class, the ruling elite, and some very powerful, very secret societies.


    We also answer some listener questions and talk a bit about Christmas music!

  • Blue Velvet (1986)
    Dec 10 2024

    This week we are looking at David Lynch’s Blue Velvet!


    Blue Velvet is a film that’s hard to categorise in the traditional sense. There are various elements going on when you look at it from mystery, Neo-noir, psychological horror, thriller, surrealist, dreamlike, but when you take all these elements and cook them up in David’s signature style you’re left with Lynchian.

    Blue Velvet was arguably the film that would set the tone for the remainder of David’s filmography, including of course the TV series Twin Peaks.
