Episode 315 - The Shining vs Doctor Sleep

Doctor Sleep is the sequel to the Stephen King horror classic, The Shining, and is one of the better King movie adaptations that you probably heard was crap and so you didn’t see it. The truth is, it’s pretty darned good - if you watch the right version (ie, the theatrical cut or Mike Flanagan’s director’s cut). This is a rare occasion where the director’s cut is actually worth it, and not just a chance to see boobs. But it also exists within the very long shadow cast by Stanley Kubrick’s original masterpiece, which Stephen King hates. It is a complicated situation, is what we are saying. But watch Doctor Sleep and you will be rewarded, we promise. 0:00 - Intros 10:45 - Billy Bragg (live) 20:25 - Midge Ure 22:30 - Stevie Nicks - The Lighthouse 26:00 - Ted Danson 30:50 - Cruel World 2025 lineup 35:00 - Doctor Sleep (SPOILER Discussion)
