SMC Pod #88:Celebrating Stanley Kubrick, our director of 2020!

The SMC Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, Craig Hammill) finally-FINALLY!-gets to do the celebration episode of Stanley Kubrick, our 2020 director of the year. COVID halted the year but once SMC was able to show movies indoors again in May 2021, we picked up and finished the series. DR. STRANGELOVE, FULL METAL JACKET, PATHS OF GLORY, and LOLITA all get special looks. Connor makes the important distinction that Kubrick was definitely Great (as an artist) but may not have always been good (to people he directed or worked with). Daniel notes Kubrick's strange and unique approach to characters. Craig recounts the excitement of discovering Kubrick and Lolita as a teenager becoming aware of the vast ocean of cinema.
