JHP011 - The Shining Reflection Just Here for the Popcorn
-
- Avaliações de filmes
Kylie and Tom, as part of their first Halloween series, reflect on the 1980 horror / psychological thriller The Shining, how we were always the podcasters for the Overlook Hotel, and discuss:
- The effect of isolation on the human mind and how this story, regardless of its paranormal aspects, succeeds as a suspenseful story on cabin fever
- How this film was not respected upon release
- How Wendy ends up fulfilling Jack's duties as caretaker for the hotel while sleeps in, works on his "novel", and shares drinks with the ghosts of the hotel. In addition, Jack failure in the role of husband and father existing before his violent tendencies consumed him.
- What is Jack's relation to the Hotel and how the Overlook collects the souls of its occupants
- The pivotal bathroom scene and the use of red in the film adaptation
- What is the deal with the woman in Room 237?
- Stephen King's disdain for the first adaptation of his 1977 novel
Join us next week for the sequel, Dr. Sleep, set and released nearly 40 year later.
