A rare interview with Stanley Kubrick (1965)

Episode 11 is Chinatown, the 1974 Roman Polanski film.  When film noir is discussed, Chinatown is considered a touchstone and a classic to the genre.  It's about a detective who starts snooping on an allegedly unfaithful political figure, only to be pulled down the rabbit hole way over his head.  This conversation gets HEATED.  The boys have some strong opinions on this one.  This is what The Flix Book Club is all about: arguing with your friends about movies.  Give it a listen and see what side of the conversation you fall on.  Leave us a comment on the website at www.flixbookclub.com.  Don't forget to tag 'em with a #streamit or #dontstreamit.  Catch us next week for KC's pick, The One I Love.

Our non-fiction enthusiast Stephen plucks one from Netflix's bouquet of documentaries this week.  Episode 13 is a documentary titled How To Survive A Plague, a movie about the early days of the AIDS crisis and the activist group ACT UP that came out of it.  This is heavy duty stuff and has some of the best raw footage I've seen in any documentary ever - including a protest inside of St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC.  Check out the movie, listen to the podcast, hit us up at www.flixbookclub.com and leave us a comment!  Be sure to let us know whether you thought it was #streamit or #dontstreamit material.  Next week is a very special St. Patty's day episode where we'll be watching and talking about The Quiet Man.
