Listen "The Shining"
Episode Synopsis
Jodi, Dawson and Philip review and discuss Stanley Kubrick's 'The Shining' from 1980. A film that has gone on to influence numerous filmmakers and storytellers, 'The Shining' is an adaptation of Stephen King's 1977 novel of the same name. These two creative powerhouses were sure to deliver an enduring film; however King ultimately disapproved of Kubrick's vision for the film. 'The Shining' got mixed reviews upon release, but its iconic performances from Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall, combined with its subtle atmospheric detail and groundbreaking cinematography would quickly ignite a full-blown reevaluation that would secure the film as a canonical classic. For those who have struggled with the isolation of quarantine and an illusory sense of time, this film uniquely captures the danger of settling into the discordant malaise of a late-twentieth century existential nightmare.
