New Season of The Plot Thickens podcast: Stanley Kubrick
"Hosted by Ben Mankiewicz, this season of The Plot Thickens traces Kubrick’s journey from a curious Bronx teenager—first inspired by a camera gifted to him by his father at age 13—to a visionary filmmaker who redefined the art of filmmaking. Across his career, Kubrick pushed boundaries, challenged censorship, and pursued an uncompromising level of creative control that shaped landmark films including Lolita, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining, and Eyes Wide Shut.
Drawing on more than 200 newly uncovered and previously unheard archival interviews, the series offers an unprecedented look at Kubrick’s personal life, working methods, and the making of each of his feature films, while also reexamining longstanding myths surrounding his reputation, including the notion that he was a recluse.
The podcast features original interviews conducted by TCM with leading voices in film and culture, including Steven Spielberg, Matthew Modine, Sofia Coppola, Josh Safdie, George Miller, Katharina Kubrick, and longtime Kubrick collaborator James Harris, alongside critics, historians, and authors including Claire Dederer and Jon Ronson."
