BYOB: Eyes Wide Shut

Oh Hey there, and welcome to another episode of BYOB. A real noodle twirler this week, one that will get right inside your head, with a bit more Kubrick on the menu.


Films we've seen at the cinema this week for review - A Quiet Place Day One as well as Maxxxine - We also take a quick look at this summer's releases and that's all before we jump on this weeks film: Eyes Wide Shut.


Up for discussion this week: Is this film deep, incredibly simple? Or something wildly inbetween? How deep does the rabbit hole go on the film? We dissect some of the the controversial theories around the film, the meaning of the different encounters between the characters.


We also have no choice but to do a deep dive into two or three of the most striking scenes ever made and ask the question whether there are elements here of the story of genesis and the garden of eden and how far will men in particular go to satisfy their ego and curiosity?


Your MVP shootout on this episode features Mr Tom Cruise against Ms Nicole Kidman - two absolute powerhouses going head to head for this one. Two wonderful performances and Ben and Jack very much disagree on this one!


An absolute belter for you next week as well as we delve into the world of Crime, Horror, Comedy... can you tell what it is yet?!
