Episode notes

This chapter explores the need for innovative ideas in filmmaking, focusing on Paul Thomas Anderson's 'The Master' and its ties to Scientology. The discussion also examines conspiracy theories linked to Stanley Kubrick's 'The Shining', particularly surrounding the moon landing, and how biases shape perceptions in various fields. Ultimately, it critiques these theories while contemplating Kubrick's skepticism towards authority and the impact of his distinctive artistic vision.

This is part 2 of my conversation with Rob Ager from Liverpool, who makes documentaries about films and publishes them himself on his website Collative Learning. If you haven't heard part 1 yet, you should check that out before listening to part 2. In this conversation we talk about Rob's approach to film analysis, hidden meanings in films, the work of Stanley Kubrick and the conspiracy theory about the moon landing.
