To dive into any messaging from Kubrick, you first have to read the book it's based on, or at least its plotline and then see what he has added or skewed.

The movie is about power. Period.

god, this has got to be one of the funniest chapo episodes. i was in tears

thank you for right off mentioning the repeating Tom Cruise (is that acting?) On my one and only watching of this, I definitely noticed it right away. Why would Kubrick allow that? If it's intentional, then what could it mean? Made me wonder if this is just a tom cruise thing and that's what he does in his movies

Really enjoyed this. But sorry guys, this movie is absolutely about child sex trafficking. Kubrick was a master of telling you something without telling you. Why do you think they have to go home and fuck at the end? Because she needs to get pregnant in order to replace the daughter they just trafficked.

Great podcast. Finally finished this movie tonight for the first time. Always passed out in the past but watched the movie all the way through tonight and liked it. I think there are some interesting layers from it from classism, families, relationship dynamics, friend networks, and a lot more. I think what makes it interesting is finding a layer that’s interesting to you at the moment and exploring or considering the movie from that perspective. At the end the mask on the bed was clearly a mask off moment and despite both of their ALMOST affairs, mental and real, they accepted each other and moved on. I still wouldn’t trust that rich guy. Also still interested in the rich guy in the pool room at the end who said it was all a play. I know masons and some other groups who use “plays” to demonstrate concepts to move through degrees. I don’t think this is a common ritual though. I hope not. What a depressing world. I’m sure there’s plenty of debauchery going on in the world but it’s funny how classless and hollow these presumed elites are. The girl who OD’d on Junk and speed probably wasn’t rich though so maybe it was just the men bc the women seemed totally subservient. That would lead me to believe it’s a fraternal organization like masonry but this is not masonry.

The ads on every major porn site are unironically infinitely more perverse & disturbing & raise more questions about the dark side of human nature than anything in this movie.

Arthur Schnitzel was really on one.

rip in piss

Shot in 1997, not released until 1999.

31:25 Nick calling out Will for constantly saying “worst <insert thing> ever”

This video was garbage. What a waste of time.

Greatest comedy review of a movie EVER!!!!

That was a great opener 10/10

ua-cam.com/video/twWt37Y-UhA/v-deo.html 1:38 Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell featuring from the beggining of the scene till Alice goes to the toilet!!! Way toooooooo coincidential ain't it!!!

im gay actor javier bardem

Alice is already initiated. Bill is not. The first half of his story is him viewing things as a pleb, and then each scene is mirrored with him now initiated. Then their kid is given to some old dudes. OJ be like that sometimes.

Imagine the gurning face of Tom Cruise trapped in Salo. Forever.

They really dropped the ball on this one

I thought the mask on the pillow implied that one of the elites was sending a message

I can’t listen to this shit!

You are sickening talking about 8 year olds.

"you gotta get out of here everyone's making fun of you for being a loser"

Will goes from saying these cults and stuff aren’t real but “just fun to think about” to like half a minute later agreeing with Nick that there’s enough evidence that these things happen, lmao

The movie was originally meant to be a comedy, but that changed as Kubrick worked on the script. It’s basically the opposite evolution of Dr Strangelove, which was originally meant to be serious but ended up a comedy.

I’m glad they Will blew off Nick’s Summerton connection for a Die Hard Christmas joke

Oh shit, I never listen to chapo but the one time I do Nick is on it. Incredible

EWS will always be a film detailing infidelity and marriage. It's that simple. If you want to throw in "these are what rich people do! crazy sex orgies!" then fine. But so what? We already know they do crazy and illegal shit. It adds depth to the film, I'll admit. But I enjoy this film for its thematic narrative of marriage.

Had to go watch it, actually found it fantastic. Can’t wait to finish the last hour of them talking about it because it was so dumb.

21:46 this part was sampled by Frank Ocean for his song "Lovecrimes", such a good song

I think there is something to the dream logic of communicating in echoes/questions

Kubrick was tailing Nightingale

I can’t remember laughing so hard 😂

The word 'distraction' keeps being used to describe Kubrick and his films, as if everything he did was done to mask an even greater meaning and significance (which ironically is the same sort of thinking/reasoning that leads some to believe that that the moon landing was shot by Kubrick in a studio) and part of me wonders if it's less a question of distraction than Kubrick in some instances and situations being genuinely tone deaf. In other words I get the feeling people are reading more into the movie than is actually there and he isn't nearly as brilliant as he's being made out to be (and his obsessiveness was little more than sadism, because he could). In other words, he's capable of making not-so-good movies.

This is the best of Chapo, w/Mullen, making mince meat of EWS; more entertaining than watching the film itself.

Oh hell yes, so excited to hear them talk about this very strange and dreamlike movie! This movie is often misunderstood, possibly it's Kubrick's best film. Thanks for the upload!

I’m dying listening to this!!!🤣🤣

What,No more podcasts??

All I want to eat is Dell Taco

My best friend Nick really nailed it.

In order to understand this movie. You have to understand the visual clues that Kubrick uses in other films. He uses recurring color themes (red n blue mostly) mannequin heads / Teddy Bears and all this stuff tells you things about the story. A lot of levels here. Too many to be accidental especially with how much of a perfectionist Kubrick was known to be. The kneeling cultists look like children. The shop keeper whores out his daughter for the right price. And the daughter (after picking up a teddy bear, a known tool of Kubrick's used to show child abuse) walks away with 2 men from Zeigler's party... C'mon guys it's right in your face.

A weird thing I noticed about this movie is that at exactly 7:06 (what would be the 6 minute and 66 second mark) the first words are said by the Hungarian character named Sandor Szavost. (Possibly a LaVey reference?)

Another weird thing I noticed about this movie and the Hartfords weird relationship with their child is that in the first scene Nicole Kidman says to Tom Cruise “Did You give the babysitter the phony pager number?” Why on earth would you Give your babysitter fake contact info?

Did you know he originally wanted to do it as a low budget black and white comedy? First with Woody Allen then Steve Martin

God help us all because that will be the highest turnout we get until whatever revolution comes out way

There have never been a bigger group of miserable nerds who think they're cool. The one cat sounds like he has a tongue the size of a king size Laffy Taffy but somehow blatantly believes he's a smooth operator.

This film was released in 1999.

When Hartford talks Curran out of an OD with nothing but his voice I believe that was a satirization of Cruise's own medical philosophies... I truly believe when you compare Cruise and Kidman's performances to the rest of the actors in the movie that it is apparent that the writing as well as the directing were working against both of them; or rather exposing them. Kidman over acted and Cruise under acted. They proved how little chemistry they had in their own relationship, how artificial they could appear in certain scenarios, and that they were so disconnected from the reality of how they were coming off in their performance that they went on with it and accepted Kubrick's style of directing, no matter how ridiculous.

Just finished the movie. Very fun time. They kept playing this horror music on the piano that makes me think squidward is telling the story of the hash slinging slasher. The cult orgy was hilarious. The way everyone repeats what someone else says as a question is constant and hilarious. It's genuinely very ominous while seeming like it's kinda starship troopers satire. The end is ambiguous to where you don't know which it is.. Highly recommend if you liked Get Out or the Shining.
