Will there be any more Kubrick films on the list? Was surprised when Patrick and Matt said they didn’t like 2001 in the Star Wars review. that film deserves all its accolades imo. Also a big fan of Barry Lyndon.
2001 and A Clockwork Orange will be reviewed eventually…but I will probably be the only one who likes them.
