A.I. Artificial Intelligence (Part 1)
It's the first overtime episode of KubrickCast! With all canon Kubrick films behind us, we start exploring related topics with the closest thing to an unreleased mix tape: Steven Spielberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001). In this episode, we discuss Kubrick's development of the project in…

-
The Shining (Part 2)
In the second installment about Kubrick's massively popular horror film, Bill and Renan get into the film's remarkable use of Steadicam, mid-70s non-chic costumes, a scene deleted after the first weekend of release and the long-running feud between Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick. (1:21:46)

The Shining (Part 1)
It's been written that every Stanley Kubrick movie is a horror film—it's just that only one actually fits into the genre. This is the one! Kubrick's alternately creepy and campy The Shining (1980) took five years to make, arrived to middling reviews, and later became perhaps his most…

Barry Lyndon
Barry Lyndon is a strange one in Kubrick's career: a mixed critical reaction and disappointing box office upon its release, the film has undergone a near-complete reappraisal but has not entered the pop culture canon like the films which surround it. In the 17th episode of KubrickCast, Bill and...
