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"?Commiserate on Discord: discord.gg/aDf4Yv9PrYSupport: patreon / buzzsproutNever Forget: standwithdanielhale.orgGenral RecommendationsJosh's Recommendation: Room 237Tim's Recommendation: Industry (the recommendation that's always been here)Further Reading, Viewing, ListeningVIEW: Room 237 (here or here)LISTEN: The Makers of THE SHINING documentary 'Room 237'READ: KUBRICK'S SHINING' SECRET by Bill Blakemore (July 12, 1987)READ: The Wolf at the Door: Stanley Kubrick, History, and the HolocaustMore From Joshua Nomen-MutatioSome Fiction WritingAn ongoing novel: The Feeding StageA short story: Lydia's DriveA short story: The Form AwardsMore From Timothy Robert BuechnerPodcast: Q&T ARE / violentpeople.co Tweets: @ROHDUTCHLocationless Locationsheatdeathpod.comEvery show-related link is corralled and available here.Twitter: @heatdeathpodPlease send all Letters of Derision, Indifference, Inquiry, Mild Elation, et cetera to: [email protected] us Fan MailSupport the showSupport: patreon / buzzsprout
