    Episode 152 - Eyes Wide Shut

    Missing Frames is closing out 2025 with a beloved holiday classic: Stanley Kubrick’s EYES WIDE SHUT. Wait…what? That’s right, we’re declaring once and for all that Eyes Wide Shut IS a Christmas movie. Join Shawn Eastridge and returning guest Richie Pepio as they dive into Stanley Kubrick’s enigmatic final film and discuss how it offers an intriguing and disturbing glimpse into the realm of marriage and long-term relationships. They also examine how Kubrick used Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s star status to manipulate both their performance and the audience and why the film’s initial lackluster response from both audiences and critics was so baffling.

    Celebrating Superman with Jonah Lees

    2025 has been the Year of Superman, and Missing Frames has been celebrating James Gunn’s new film by sitting down with some of the writers, artists, and actors who help make the Man of Steel so special. Past conversations have included comic legends Dan Jurgens, Mark Waid, Tom King, and Phillip Kennedy Johnson, reflections on Richard Donner’s iconic film with Lauren Shuler Donner, and even a chat with Ma Kent herself, Neva Howell. Today’s guest is another incredible talent: Jonah Lees, who appears in Superman as Dean Farr, one of Lex Luthor’s LuthorCorp cronies, alongside his real-life twin brother, Christian. But Jonah’s career extends far beyond Metropolis. A highlight of the conversation is his work with Richard Linklater and Ethan Hawke on Blue Moon, as well as his recent portrayal of John Lennon in the Brian Epstein biopic Midas Man. An actor, songwriter, musician, and director, Jonah is a multifaceted creative whose range is as impressive as it is exciting. What begins as a Superman celebration quickly becomes a love letter to many shared passions: Superman, Richard Linklater, and The Beatles.
