Kubrick's Lost Interview Surfaces in New Podcast
29 Oct
Summary
- A rare, complete 1972 interview with Stanley Kubrick is now a podcast bonus.
- The 'Clockwork Orange'-era interview features Kubrick discussing directing and personal interests.
- Two bonus podcast episodes, including a panel, will be released in January 2027.
Two bonus episodes are being added to the podcast "The Plot Thickens," dedicated to filmmaker Stanley Kubrick. The first bonus episode, available January 7, 2027, features a rare, complete 1972 interview with Joseph Gelmis of Newsday. This "Clockwork Orange"-era conversation delves into Kubrick's directorial methods, his early career, and personal topics like football and pets.
In this interview, Kubrick shares insights on how home viewing might impact cinema, while also expressing support for the theatrical experience. He even recounts wearing a copper bracelet for shoulder pain. Ben Mankiewicz highlighted the rare opportunity to hear Kubrick speak expansively for nearly three hours.
A second bonus episode, arriving January 14, 2027, will feature a recording of a sold-out Kubrick panel. This discussion, moderated by Mankiewicz, includes filmmaker Jason Reitman and critic Kenneth Turan, and was held prior to a screening of "Dr. Strangelove."
Both bonus episodes will be accessible on major podcast platforms. This expansion of "The Plot Thickens" season, created with Criterion, further explores the life and career of the iconic director.
