Eyes Wide Shut — Kubrick's Final Film & The Conspiracy That Won't Die

The Movie Marathon Podcast takes on Stanley Kubrick's final film — Eyes Wide Shut. The episode covers the full production history: Kubrick's 30-year obsession with Arthur Schnitzler's Dream Story, the 400-day shoot that set a Guinness World Record, the psychological pressure placed on the cast, the post-death editing controversy, and the conspiracy theories the film has spawned. Then a deep dive into the film itself — the Christmas light cinematography, the orgy sequence as a study in power and hierarchy, the Ziegler confrontation, and the toy store ending that changes everything. 

What is Movie Marathon Podcast?

The Movie Marathon Podcast is a film podcast built around the binge. We marathon entire franchises and films from start to finish — one movie per episode — covering the production history, the casting, the performances, and what each film actually means. Our rewatches are tied to new releases and culturally relevant moments, so there's always a reason to be listening.

Whether you've seen the movie 30 times or you just came out of the theater, every episode is a deep dive. Every binge is intentional. And every opinion was formed by watching the movies before we turned on our mics. Welcome to the Binge Bros, let's marathon some movies.

New episodes every Tuesday.
