Eyes Wide Shut (1999) - Nostalgia Check

SEND US SOME FAN MAIL

This week on BJ in the Morning Presents: Nostalgia Check, we finally watched and reviewed Eyes Wide Shut for the very first time… and honestly, we’re still trying to process what we saw.

From secret societies and uncomfortable tension to one of the strangest dreamlike movie experiences ever made, we break down the story, themes, performances, and the absolute chaos of trying to understand what Stanley Kubrick was cooking in his final film.

Was it a masterpiece? Was it confusing? Was Tom Cruise just wandering around New York for 3 hours? We debate all of it.

If you love movie reviews, first-time watches, nostalgic film discussions, and chaotic podcast energy, welcome to Nostalgia Check from BJ in the Morning.

Topics Include:

• First reactions to Eyes Wide Shut
• Stanley Kubrick’s directing style
• Tom Cruise & Nicole Kidman performances
• Creepy masked party discussion
• The ending explained (or at least attempted)
• Funniest and weirdest moments
• Does the movie still hold up today?
