It's the year 2020 Jonathan (@berkreviews)  and Corey (@coreyrstarr) decided they need to check a few more of Stanley Kubrick's films off their gap list. Thus, they start the year-off with the theme 2020: Janley Kubrick or Stanuary. There are a few back episodes of Movie Club where they watched Kubrick films, but there are some major ones left to see, but now in the year 2020 they will check them off their list.

As far as the podcast goes, each episode features an in-depth review of the movie for the week. They begin with a spoiler-free review before diving in completely after the needed spoiler warning. However, before getting into the review of the week, Jonathan and Corey discuss what other movies they've seen since the last episode as well as anything else they feel like discussing. To help them decide which of the many films to watch each month they started creating themes for them all.

Week 3: Paths of Glory (1957)

Corey brings us back to the 50s with Kubrick's War Drama Paths of Glory (1957).  This film is in the Criterion Collection and its plot summary reads "After refusing to attack an enemy position, a general accuses the soldiers of cowardice and their commanding officer must defend them." It stars Kirk Douglas, Ralph Meeker, and Adolphe Menjou.
