Eyes Wide Shut Is The Most Complicated Part of Stanley Kubrick’s Legacy | CineFix Top 100
Mar 23 2025 • 115 mins
“Fidelio…”
We’ve got one more special episode of the CineFix Top 100 before we dive into season 4 proper, and this week we know the password and we’ve got our mask on tight. Eyes Wide Shut is the last film by legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in a film with a truly unique legacy. Clint and Cal welcome special guest and CineFix behind-the-scenes all star Tanner Smith to talk about why it’s one of his favorite movies of all time, the unique photochemical process Kubrick and “Lighting Cameraman” Larry Smith used to achieve the dream like look of the film, and why the movie might only work with a real-life married couple on the brink of divorce in the lead roles.
Meanwhile, Dan’s Algorithm knows that there is something very important that we need to do as soon as possible...

Zodiac Isn’t Sure Who The Real Killer Is, But David Fincher Might Be
Mar 09 2025 • 96 mins
“He gave himself a name…”
The CineFix Top 100 is back… Kinda! It’s not quite season 4, but Clint and Cal couldn’t wait. We wanted to spend a few episodes with the extended CineFix family before diving back into a regular season, and to start, we’ve got ‘My Best Shots’ pioneer, IGN UK’s Simon Cardy. In addition to having a RIDICULOUS Top 250 of his own on Letterboxd, he’s bringing one of his all time favorites to the Top 100 this week, David Fincher’s true crime masterpiece Zodiac. Clint, Cal and Cardy talk about the film’s incredible wide shots, how hairy Jake Gyllenhaal’s knuckles may or may not be and why Cardy refuses to say who the real Zodiac killer is.
Meanwhile, Dan’s Algorithm is drunk on Aqua Velva, claiming to be a handwriting expert.

Die Hard Is The Sequel To The Book Seven Samurai Wrote On Action
Dec 22 2024 • 92 mins
Die Hard landed in 1988 among a murderer’s row of great movies and came out of it as perhaps the most iconic of them all. It was a coming out party for Bruce Willis the action star and Alan Rickman the villain and invented a whole new sub-genre of bottle episode action cinema. Clint, Cal and Alex discuss how John McTiernan learned all the right things from Akira Kurosawa action, why the movie doesn’t matter if it isn’t about marriage and how Alex can’t keep holding her grudge against the movie.
Meanwhile, Dan’s algorithm doesn’t ever want to hear about the Die Hard / Christmas movie debate again...
