This week, Geordie dives into the weird world of creepy masks…
WhenStanley Kubrick’s 1999 filmEyes Wide Shutfirst hit cinemas, there’s no way the director could’ve predicted what would come next. Not only would the film get swept up in conspiracy theories involvingJeffrey Epsteinand shadowy elite cabals, but that one unforgettable scene would basically ruin Venetian carnival masks for an entire generation. In this episode, Geordie nips through the weirder side of Kubrick conspiracies before zooming out on the world of creepy masks. This includes the unsettling leather mask linked toAlexander Peden—with human hair and teeth included—plus the whole strange saga aroundNapoleon Bonaparte’s death mask (what a palaver!). She also digs into how “Rescue Annie,” the CPR training dummy, was based on a real French death mask… So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the pair chat French-Canadian masked band Angine de Poitrine, water cremations, Seinfeld and more, only on Eavesdroppin’. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!
