  • Summary

  • THEY TRAINED THEM TO PODCAST FOR THEIR PLEASURE...  BUT THEY TRAINED THEM A LITTLE TOO WELL!! // HOW DID THEY EVER MAKE A PODCAST OF LOLITA?

    In this episode, we continue our analysis of Kubrick's career with the "Least Kubrick" of Kubrick's films: Kirk Douglas' SPARTACUS and Vladimir Nabokov's LOLITA! 

    Topics include: SPARTACUS' tangled web of inconsistent subtext; the historical significance of SPARTACUS in breaking Hollywood's communist blacklist; an unexpected analysis of Brad Pitt's legacy; if there was  a good reason (besides $$$) to make a movie of LOLITA; alternate  Humbert Humbert casting ideas (including Marlon Brando and Matthew McConaughey), and a Hitchcock movie ranking.
