237 - Room 237 Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Celebrate a Three Digit Number

We discuss the subjective documentary Room 237 in which a handful of obsessive armchair theorists share their various interpretations of Stanley Kubrick's masterclass in splicing arthouse ambiguity with genre trope driven narrative, The Shining. What's in between each frame in these frame-by-frame analyses? North American genocide? Freudian treatise? A false moon landing confessional? Subliminal advertising techniques on display and under scrutiny? The historic ripples and echoes of the Third Reich? Or is it, as Kubrick himself said, simply about "a man who tries to kill his family"?
