BHoP#071 Slay the Minotaur
Dr Koontz and Rev Fisk finish the series on Hollywood. They open by comparing the suspicious circumstances surrounding the deaths of various celebrities including Stanley Kubrick, whose film The Shining played off and defined the uniquely American genre: Horror. They talk about Kubrick's origins as a photographer and his works as a filmmaker, and how his film Eyes Wide Shut images the depravity of power in Hollywood.

Kubrick’s work has been described as ‘coldly precise’. 🤔
