The Shining (1980)
Close the elevator and ash that cigarette because we're discussing Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's The Shining for its 45th anniversary! Join us as we go all in on this classic of horror cinema, from Kubrick's controversial methods to Shelly DuVall's behind-the-scenes treatment, there's no stone left unturned! Plus: an unexpected queer reading involving bears (the animal kind), debating the best carpet in the Overlook (it's Room 237's carpet) and how Doctor Sleep retroactively affects rewatches of The Shining.
