He dominated the field in this year's 20th Century March Madness competition, and now we're celebrating with a parade and a big brass band...it's time for our series on the films of Stanley Kubrick - Pods Wide Cast.

How did they ever make a podcast of LOLITA? Let's just say that it wasn't easy, but thankfully our guest Fran Hoepfner is in her "brave era" and was more than up for the task.
