Episode 67 - Stanley Kubrick's Numbers with R.H. Vatcher (part three)

We're back from fall break to wrap up our discussion with film scholar R.H. Vatcher on the hidden numbers and meanings in Stanley Kubrick's films. (Apologies for the variable sound quality - the AE-35 unit was faulty.)

Robert defines model theory and the possible games Kubrick is playing, along with more instances of 42 in "The Shining" and 57 in "Full Metal Jacket."

The magic of connecting images and the power of editing, cinematic tricks, the "abracadabrant" and "imagineering."

The inevitable fates of the characters in "Full Metal Jacket" and clues behind the soundtrack. The duality of Joker and Animal Mother, and Private Pyle's first and only love.

The accuracy of Kubrick's portrayal of the military and the tragedy of Vietnam.

Plus: Susan Sontag, Colonel Flagg, and the cube of 42.

(This episode includes explicit language and controversial discussion, with movie clips including homophobic language. Listener discretion advised.)
