About this listen

This is a bonus episode of Mouths of Madness featuring our companion series, Straitjacket Talk.


In this episode, we dive deep into Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut (1999)—a haunting psychological thriller starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman at the height of their fame. We unpack the film’s eerie dream logic, secret society imagery, marriage, jealousy, sexual fantasy, and Kubrick’s signature tension-filled direction, while debating fan theories, censorship controversies, and that infamous masquerade scene. From its hypnotic cinematography and unsettling score to its bleak commentary on desire, power, and infidelity, this is a spoiler-filled horror-adjacent discussion you won’t want to miss!


Your hosts- Kevin, Nathan, and Gill
