A rare interview with Stanley Kubrick (1965)

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.

13 - How To Survive A Plague

Episode 24, as chosen by KC Arora, is The Grocer's Son.  A film that "hits close to his heart" (these were his initial words).  It's a quaint little indie film set in Provence, France.  Our protagonist Antoine has returned home with a guest in tow to help out with the family business after his father has suffered a heart attack and can no longer fulfill his duties.  Riveting, morally shaking stuff here.  OK, SO IT'S A DUD.  BUT IT'S NOT WITHOUT IT'S MERITS.  Listen to the podcast to hear us discuss it's pitfalls as well as it's finer points.  Drop by the main page to leave a comment;are we wrong?  What should we watch?  Catch us next week for our first animated film, The Boxtrolls.
