    71. The Shining with Shelley Duvall

    In 2021, our good friend David Constantine reached out to Stephen with exciting news—he was heading to Texas to meet Shelley Duvall, the wonderful actress made famous for her portrayal of Wendy Torrance in Stanley Kubrick’s "The Shining.” Stephen suggested that David record the meeting and conduct an informal interview with Shelley. David agreed, and that December, he and his nephew Joe drove to Texas to meet Shelley at a local restaurant in her hometown. Recorded: December 2021 We caught up with David recently to chat with him about his time with Shelley. Recorded: 17th July 2024 We also spoke with Shining super-fan Lee Unkrich to reminisce and remember his own fond and special memories of Shelley Duvall.

    65. Full Metal Jacket with Ken Shane

    Ken Shane was born in London, England in the 1960s. He has been an assistant director for almost 40 years, and worked as a production manager during that time as well.  One of Ken’s first jobs was working for George Lucas on a little box office flop in 1980 called The Empire Strikes Back. He continued working straight on from that time, and has over 100 film and TV productions on his resume. In 1985 he worked with Tobe Hooper on the insanely over-the-top space vampire classic Lifeforce as well as on Ridley Scott’s Legend. He was busy as well in 1987, working on Superman 4: The Quest For Peace, John Boorman’s Hope And Glory, and Steven Spielberg’s Empire Of The Sun. He went on to work on Tim Burton’s Batman in 1989. He would work with Burton again on 1999’s Sleepy Hollow, but not before being Second Unit Assistant Director on David Fincher’s criminally underrated debut, Alien3. Ken served as AD on HBO’s Band Of Brothers in 2001, working with Spielberg again, and Tom Hanks.  Ken Shane Has worked with everyone from Tom Cruise to Meryl Streep, to Sir John Gielgud, Al Pacino, Gene Hackman, Christian Bale, Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, Johnny Depp, to Sigourney Weaver, Christopher Walken and beyond.  He moved to Vancouver, Canada in 2004, and has continued to work steadily in the Canadian film industry, but what has this got to do with Stanley Kubrick? Well, Ken Shane was 3rd Assistant Director on Kubrick’s antiwar masterpiece, Full Metal Jacket. So now you will hear Ken talking about working with Kubrick, and other areas of his long career in the movie biz.

    64. John Alcott and Stanley Kubrick with Stuart Cooper

    Stuart Cooper has made significant contributions to the film industry as an accomplished actor, writer and director.  His early acting career in the 1960s showcased his talent through various film and TV appearances, including his notable role as Roscoe Lever in the 1967 classic war film "The Dirty Dozen" In which young Stuart held his own among such heavyweight actors as Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, and Donald Sutherland. However, Stuart’s passion always lay in directing, and he eventually pursued this path wholeheartedly. He directed his first feature film, "Little Malcolm and his Struggle Against the Eunuchs,” in 1974. The film was very well-received film. It starred John Hurt and David Warner, and was based on a play by David Halliwell. Little Malcolm And His Struggle Against The Eunuchs established Stuart’s directorial skills, winning him the Berlin Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival that year. Yet, it was his second film, "Overlord," released in 1975, that truly solidified his position as a notable director. "Overlord" is a remarkable fusion of documentary and fiction, recounting the story of a young soldier killed during the D-Day landings in Normandy. Combining meticulously upgraded images of archival war footage with impeccably crafted scenes by Stuart, the film created a haunting and impactful experience that garnered international acclaim and again won him the Berlin Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. Today, Overlord remains a hallmark of cinema preserved by the Criterion Collection. And we can't recommend it highly enough. Through his unique storytelling approach and innovative visual aesthetics, Stuart continues to inspire and influence filmmakers and cinephiles worldwide. Today, Cooper remains an esteemed figure in the entertainment industry, and his work continues to captivate audiences. Now, Stuart Cooper and Stanley Kubrick had an interesting career parallel throughout the 1970s. Both men had the distinction of using cinematography legend John Alcott on three films,  for Stuart, the films were Little Malcolm, Overlord and The Disappearance. Stanley utilized the brilliance of Alcott as cinematographer on A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon and The Shining.  Oh, and we also have for you a very rare recording that Stuart personally asked Stanley Kubrick to make as a tribute to John Alcott following Alcott’s death in 1986. You will hear that in this episode. So get ready to hear Stuart speak with us about working with Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Orson Welles, George Harrison and John Hurt. We of course discuss 2001, ACO, Barry Lyndon, The Shining, and how Stuart got to know Kubrick.

    63. A Clockwork Orange with John Bates

    John Bates has worked in various jobs at Brunel University over the last 50 or so years. To Kubrick fans, Brunel University has a special resonance. It was of course the location of the Ludovico Medical Facility where Malcolm McDowell playing Alex, had his treatment. There were in fact four areas at the University used by Kubrick; Alex’s apartment ground floor lobby, where he comes home to his flat block, The Ludovico facility check-in, Alex’s bedroom at the Ludovico facility, and the now iconic Ludovico Therapy Screening Room, where we see Alex bound to a chair wearing lid-locks and forced to watch violence on the big screen. John as a 16 year old school leaver at his first job at Brunel was witness to Stanley Kubrick and his team filming ‘A Clockwork Orange’, and was even employed to work with Kubrick’s crew.
