ABOUT THE EVENT: Turner Classic Movies and the American Cinematheque present a special panel discussion with screening of DR. STRANGELOVE. This event is in celebration of the upcoming season of THE PLOT THICKENS: “Stanley,” a podcast about the life and career of Stanley Kubrick, the visionary filmmaker who redefined the art of filmmaking. THE PLOT THICKENS: “Stanley” is presented by TCM and Criterion. ABOUT THE PODCAST: For our seventh season, TCM is partnering with Criterion to tell the complete story of Stanley Kubrick. Stanley traces his journey from a curious Bronx teenager, first inspired by a camera gifted to him by his father, to a visionary director who redefined the art of filmmaking. Across his career, Kubrick pushed boundaries, challenged censorship and pursued an uncompromising level of creative control that shaped landmark films including LOLITA, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, THE SHINING and EYES WIDE SHUT. With revealing new interviews and never-before-heard archival audio, including a newly uncovered interview with Stanley Kubrick himself, Stanley brings listeners behind the scenes of Kubrick’s creative process, capturing the obsessive precision, artistic ambition and unforgettable imagery that cemented his legacy as one of the most influential filmmakers in history. Stanley , an eleven-episode limited series podcast, starts September 24. ABOUT THE FILM: “Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!” Psychotic Air Force General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) unleashes an ingenious, foolproof and irrevocable scheme sending bombers to attack Russia. Meanwhile, U.S. President Muffley (Peter Sellers) works with the Soviet Ambassador (Peter Bull) in a desperate effort to save the world. Featuring George C.
