Starting off the morning with some cerebral sci-fi. #NowWatching Ikarie XB 1. I saw this mentioned in a short documentary about Soviet fantasy and horror films, then two days later heard it discussed on the @purecinemapod.bsky.social. Seems like a sign to me. #Filmsky

Happy birthday, Boris Karloff!

This is terrific, and way beyond the usual biographical re-telling they pair each of his films with other fascinating-sounding films from all over the shop.

It chimed with a discussion in this excellent episode of @purecinemapod.bsky.social about how Kubrick anchors his films in reality, even when the subject matter is fantastic, e.g. people eating normal cereal normally; toilets flushing out of frame... thenewbev.com/blog/2025/11...

These were landmark episodes. Thanks to Brian and Elric for their efforts, it’s a great tribute to one of the best.

Thank you so much to the great @bobfreelander.bsky.social for shouting out #WatchWithJen pod on the latest episode of @purecinemapod.bsky.social!

On @purecinemapod.bsky.social, moviegoing starchildren @bobfreelander.bsky.social and @elrickane.bsky.social dive into the second half of Stanley Kubrick's filmography to discuss his unparalleled legacy, film pairings, why his movies change with us as we age! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/k...

Thinking about Glen Powell's career and his next roles. Listening to @purecinemapod.bsky.social they dropped a double-bill with Barry Lyndon starring Errol Flynn. That's it - he needs to play more rogues with action and character @elrickane.bsky.social @bobfreelander.bsky.social

Of course one loves listening to the @purecinemapod.bsky.social boys talk about Kubrick. But it’s the pairings where the gold is truly found. Where has Lubitsch’s TO BE OR NOT TO BE (1942) been all my life? And when will it double with Inglorious Basterds at the @newbeverly.bsky.social ?#thanksPCPod

Wondered why I'd been asked for David Mamet's HEIST (2001) a few times in the last week, then I listened to this two part epic podcast on Kubrick where all is explained! Seven hours sounds like a chore, but this is an absolute delight. Great work Brian and Elric.

Highlight of this is undoubtedly the two contrasting films that Brian and Elric pair with A Clockwork Orange. You couldn’t wish for a better example of why they are the perfect podcasting team.

We’ve been so grateful for the lovely response to Kubrick Part One! We hope folks enjoy part two just as much!

Bangers.

Kubrick Part Two is live now! We continue our epic discussion of the filmmaker’s work from 2001 to EYES WIDE SHUT! Kubrick the visionary: pocketcasts.com/podcast/pure... @elrickane.bsky.social @newbeverly.bsky.social

If you’re thinking of seeing KEEPER this weekend or next week, see it in 35mm at @newbeverly.bsky.social! @neon-rated.bsky.social

Our first of two Kubrick episodes is live today! Listen along as we discuss the first half of the director’s career and offer pairings for each of his films! pocketcasts.com/podcast/pure... @elrickane.bsky.social @newbeverly.bsky.social

I did a whole semester on Kubrick and enjoyed the hell out of this episode. Admittedly, I jumped in after Path of Glory, so I’m super curious to check out those earlier movies plus your recommendations!

From noir heists to deep space philosophy, Stanley Kubrick is one of the most consequential filmmakers ever, and on the new @purecinemapod.bsky.social, @elrickane.bsky.social and @bobfreelander.bsky.social take a deep dive into the first half of his filmography! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/k...

Love this podcast so much! Kubrick is by far my favorite director. Thanks for the tips for all the great companion films, terrific as usual!
