Description

At one point in the 70's everyone was wearing clogs and in the 80's, we were handing out Best Picture awards to movies like, Driving Miss Daisy and calling it a sign of progress.  So it's a good idea to check in with your once loved cultural artifacts to make sure you aren't still listening to Jesus Jones or defending Dan Brown books . In that vein, Tom and Azed discuss two movies they both used to really like and now feel a bit less enthusiastic about. Oddly, and completely randomly, both of us chose movies by Kubrick: Lolita (1962) and The Shining (1980).  We discuss the difficulty in translating good books to film, the limits of interpretation, and Kubrick's pattern of focusing on what has been called "the banality of evil".  Tom also gives us an update on some of his favourite screenings at this years TIFF.
