stanleykubrick

Dustin and Mike return for another episode of the podcast to discuss the controversial, and much loved, 1971 satirical and violent Kubrick classic, A Clockwork Orange. Over the course of the roundtable chat we will evaluate the film's overall merit, its measure as a successful adaptation, and how well it stands in comparison to the book it was based on.

Music: "Ode To Joy" (Ludwig van Beethoven/Wendy Costa) "Alex Descends Into Hell for a Bottle of Milk/Korova 1" (U2)

There was me, that is Tamler, and my droog, that is David, and we sat in our living rooms on Skype trying to make up our rassoodocks what Stanley Kubrick's a Clockwork Orange was really about? Free will? We didn't think so. Punishment? Yeah but what about punishment? And what about the old ultraviolence - can it still shock us in the modern age? Then suddenly we viddied that thinking was for the gloopy ones and that the oomny just, like, press record and start the podcast. Slooshy well, my brothers, slooshy well.

2001: A Space Odyssey and Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

When Captain Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise boldly went into cinemas in 1979, languid art-house pacing, an elegant orchestral score, and an encounter with things unfashionably alien led to a transformative, almost religious experience. Star Trek: The Motion Picture took its cue not so much from the colorful action extravaganza of Star Wars, which premiered two years earlier, but from 2001: A Space Odyssey, a film dating back more than a decade to a time when The Original Series was still on the air.

In this episode of Primitive Culture, recorded live in London at the University of Greenwich, host Duncan Barrett is joined by film lecturer Chris Nunn and Tony Robinson of Continuing Mission for a look at the ties that bind these two mystical, complex, and sometimes problematic films. Taking a cue from another podcast, Missing Frames, we begin by screening 2001 for Duncan—who had never seen it—in order to contrast his raw first impressions with the insights of Tony—who has been obsessively rewatching it his entire life—and Chris, for whom it is a cornerstone of his teaching. We then move on to look at the ways in which this peculiar SF classic helped reinvent Star Trek for cinema, as well as some of the themes the two films share—from technology run amok to the birth of new life forms—and why Trek’s next cinematic outing, The Wrath of Khan, represents such an extreme course correction.

Thirty eight years ago today, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining was realeased. The crew sits down and talks about this cinema classic, a movie that has been anaylzed and anaylzed. It's considered by some to be the best horror film ever, but what is it that makes this film still scary, still beautiful and still relevant today? Share your thoughts with us, we hope you can stay. Forever and ever.
