Episode 38: Kubrick's Hidden Message with Sean McCann of Wake the Dead

In this episode of Dark Florida, we dive deep into the mysterious and unsettling world of Stanley Kubrick through the lens of Sean McCann of Wake the Dead. Sean shares his theory of the Fidelio experiment, exploring the idea that Kubrick’s films overlay with themselves, creating layers of hidden meaning that connect his entire body of work. From The Shining to Eyes Wide Shut and beyond, we uncover the subtle threads linking his films, the patterns that most viewers miss, and the powerful symbolism embedded in every frame.

Sean walks us through the connections between Kubrick’s work and the hidden structures of trauma, power, and control, revealing how these themes repeat and echo across his films. We examine the psychological weight of The Shining, the ritualistic undertones of Eyes Wide Shut, and how seemingly unrelated films can carry overlapping messages about identity, observation, and perception. For anyone curious about the deeper layers of Kubrick’s work, or the ways film can communicate hidden truths, this conversation is both unsettling and illuminating.
