We're back this week with a belated Halloween special—and we're finally tackling The Shining! Stanley Kubrick's 1980 classic traps us in the snowbound Overlook Hotel, where Jack Torrance's plans to write and reconnect with his family spiral into madness. We'll talk about the film's haunting imagery, its lasting influence on horror, and—of course—Jack's palpable resentment for the woman he willingly married. Plus, we dig into Stephen King's well-documented hatred for Kubrick's adaptation and why the author felt the film missed the heart of his story. Grab your typewriter, your tricycle, and your room key—it's time to shine.

Happy Halloween! On the fifty- second episode of All the Film Things, my friend and ATFT regular, movie critic Matthieu Côté joins me for an analytical discussion about Stanley Kubrick's 1980 psychological horror classic, The Shining! This episode is spoiler- filled and contains some explicit language.The Shining, a classic psychological horror film which unnerves you instantly with its eerie score, almost entirely takes place at the Overlook Hotel that lies in isolation atop an Indian burial ground. Jack Torrance, played brilliantly by Jack Nicholson, accepts a job as the winter caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, when the hotel is out of commission, in order to get five months of peace and quiet to help him write his book. He brings along his wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and son Danny (Danny Lloyd) and, over time, isolation begins to wear on them... especially Jack. Over the course of the film, Jack becomes increasingly mad while Danny's gift of "shining" haunts him of the hotel's evil past, present, and future. While the film is based on Steven King's 1977 book of the same title, King publicly criticized the film on numerous occasions because of the liberties Kubrick took that departed from his original story. King wasn't the only one who disliked the film because, shockingly, The Shining is one of those films, like 12 Angry Men and Fight Club, that wasn't well- received at the time of its release. It wasn't until the film started airing on TV at the end of the 80s that public opinion shifted in favor of Kubrick's film. Today, 45 years later, The Shining is widely considered one of the greatest horror films ever made and contains one of Jack Nicholson's very best performances.This is Matthieu's fourth time on the podcast and he has rapidly earned the title of “ATFT regular”! I had been wanting to do an episode on The Shining for over three years now and when I learned it was Matthieu's favorite film of all time, I knew he was the one to join me in celebrating The Shining for both it's 45th anniversary and Halloween. While Matthieu is enamored with the horror genre, I very much shy away from it. The Shining is my favorite horror film and one of the only few I can really watch, in the daytime of course. This episode was recorded on October 2, 2025. Matthieu has been steadily interviewing filmmakers and actors through both his personal YouTube channel, @matthieucote2272, and through Horreur Québec for a few years now. Most recently, Matthieu was able to check off a bucket list interviewee off his list when he interviewed James Wan. Click to watch that interview here! Also, a few years ago, Matthieu made an analytical video essay analyzing a scene in The Shining titled “The Shining (And the Path to Redemption)- Scene Breakdown” which I highly recommend watching for his incredible insight to the character of Jack Torrence and performance by Jack Nicholson. Subscribe to Matthieu's YouTube channel by clicking here to watch his past interviews, video essays, and more! In this episode, we attempt to understand The Shining's biggest mysteries and discuss the most popular theories about the famous ending. Our analytical conversation, though wide- encompassing, is a bit sporadic since there is seemingly infinite points of discussion through every aspect of this film. It's overwhelming and we only scratched the surface. In this episode, Matthieu and I share our rocky roads to appreciating this film, Kubrick's clever tricks in deceiving the audience, and how Grady could have possibly opened that storage room door for Jack.

Today I'm breaking down one of the most enigmatic endings in horror film history! The ending of The Shining isn't just about madness, ghosts, or cabin fever; it's about consumption. The Overlook Hotel doesn't merely haunt its guests; it devours them. By the time Jack Torrance swings his axe through the snow-covered halls, he's no longer a man losing control. He's a man who's been completely absorbed by the building itself, body and soul. That's the real horror of The Shining: evil doesn't simply kill you, it keeps you.

This week, Rob, Dave, and Kurt dive deep into one of the most haunting and visually striking films of the 1980s—Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Released in 1980 and based (loosely) on Stephen King's novel, the film stars Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance, a struggling writer who takes a job as the winter caretaker of the isolated Overlook Hotel. Alongside his wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and young son Danny (Danny Lloyd), Jack's descent into madness unfolds through Kubrick's signature slow-burn tension, eerie atmosphere, and unforgettable imagery—from the ghostly twins in the hallway to that chilling “Here's Johnny!” moment. The crew explores how The Shining went beyond traditional horror to become a psychological masterpiece. They'll dig into Kubrick's meticulous direction, Nicholson's unhinged performance, and the film's enduring mysteries—from the Overlook's sinister layout to the cryptic final photograph. Expect theories, trivia, and maybe even a few laughs as Rob, Dave, and Kurt revisit what many consider the ultimate blend of artistry and terror in 1980s cinema Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/iq8iShjXOLb   Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408    Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall    YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/  Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall

In this deeply honest and wide-ranging conversation on Still Here Hollywood, Steven Weber (Wings, The Shining, Single White Female) opens up to Steve Kmetko about the roles that shaped—and haunted—his career. From his infamous death-by-stiletto scene in Single White Female to portraying Jack Torrance in Stephen King's The Shining miniseries, Weber reflects on what he'd do differently today, wishing he'd taken himself more seriously as an actor. He shares his admiration for great directors who bring out an actor's best, his dream of working with someone who truly “gets” him, and his love of old-school Hollywood storytelling. Along the way, Weber and Kmetko dive into everything from the legacy of Hitchcock and Patricia Hitchcock to Weber's fanboy meltdown meeting Stephen Soderbergh. The episode also takes a powerful turn as Kmetko bravely shares his recent stroke story and the miracle that followed. With reflections on regret, reinvention, and creative hunger, this is one of the most compelling and human interviews yet. #StevenWeber #StillHereHollywood #SteveKmetko #TheShining #SingleWhiteFemale #JackTorrance #StephenKing #ClassicMovies #HollywoodReflections #TVIcons #StrokeRecovery #StephenSoderbergh #BridgetFonda #JenniferJasonLeigh #Hitchcock #BehindTheScenes #ActorInterview #StevenWeberInterviewShow Credits Host/Producer: Steve Kmetko All things technical: Justin Zangerle Executive Producer: Jim Lichtenstein Music by: Brian Sanyshyn Transcription:  Mushtaq Hussain   https://stillherehollywood.com http://patreon.com/stillherehollywood Suggest Guests at: stillherehollywood@gmail.com Advertise on Still Here Hollywood: jim@stillherenetwork.com Publicist: Maggie Perlich: maggie@numbertwelvemarketing.com

The Scariest Movie EVER Made? Well upon its initial release forty-five years ago, not many critics saw it that way INCLUDING the author of the original novel which this film was based on, Stephen King.  But over time, this psychological thriller directed by the late, great Stanley Kubrick (2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Eyes Wide Shut) has garnerned not only a devoted following but a never-ending stream of speculation about what it meant.  Many love it for the memorable main lead performance by Oscar-winner Jack Nicholson (Chinatown, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Batman)  as Jack Torrance, an aspiring writer whose family ends up situated at a VERY remote location known as the Overlook Hotel....he's an aspiring writer but as the winter progresses, he starts to lose his mind.  Also with him are his beleaguered wife Wendy played by the late, great Shelley Duvall (Popeye, 3 Women, Roxanne) and their young son Danny (Danny Lloyd) who has begun to experience a sort of psychic power known as.....THE SHINING. :o Also co-starring Scatman Crothers, Joe Turkel, and Barry Nelson, this horror classic has launched spin-off documentaries, weak imitations, and loads of memes - let's head to the Overlook Hotel! Host & Editor: Geoff GershonEditor: Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

In this episode of Terror Talk Podcast, we dive deep into the eerie world of The Shining — both Stephen King's original novel and Stanley Kubrick's polarizing 1980 film adaptation. They share a title… but tell two very different stories. We compare and contrast the drastically different portrayals of Jack Torrance, the mystery of the Overlook Hotel, and how each version tackles psychological horror. No wonder King famously hated the film — and we unpack why.We also talk about how King's book lays a far stronger foundation for Doctor Sleep, and lightly touch on original documentaries that offer insight into Kubrick's filmmaking process.So grab your axe and your typewriter (but maybe not both), and join us for a fascinating, spooky analysis of one of horror's most iconic stories.Instagram: @terrortalkpodcastYouTube: TerrorTalk PodcastFacebook: Halloween All Year LongTikTok: @dark.psychology.girlsAll music for this episode is by Mannequin Uprising.

This week, Chris and Jay explore the fine line between control and chaos. They kick things off with a raw and real conversation about parenting styles—how different approaches shape kids, the pressure of doing it “right,” and the madness that sometimes comes with the territory. Then, they revisit the psychological horror classic The Shining, unpacking Jack Torrance's spiral, Stanley Kubrick's unsettling direction, and what makes this film a timeless descent into darkness.To close things out, the boys reflect on Bo Nickal's shocking UFC loss and how even the most dominant athletes can find themselves lost in the storm.This one is a little hectic, but is still Better Than Average.

Esplora il mondo inquietante e disturbante di Shining di Stanley Kubrick, un capolavoro cinematografico che continua a tormentare il pubblico ancora oggi. Dall'enigmatico e isolato Overlook Hotel alla mente tormentata di Jack Torrance, ci addentreremo nei segreti più oscuri e nelle teorie che circondano questo classico dell'horror.  Shining non è un semplice film horror. È un enigma visivo, un labirinto di simboli nascosti, di messaggi subliminali, di significati occulti. Per decenni, critici e appassionati hanno cercato di decifrarne i segreti, e più si guarda in profondità, più si scopre che nulla è lasciato al caso. Ogni inquadratura, ogni dettaglio della scenografia, ogni battuta sembra nascondere qualcosa di più. Ci sono teorie che parlano di riferimenti alla massoneria, alla numerologia, ai rituali esoterici e oscure confessioni del regista. Altri vedono nel film un'allegoria dei traumi della storia americana, dalla colonizzazione ai programmi segreti del governo. Ma qual è la verità? Qual era l'intento di Kubrick? E se Shining non fosse solo un film, ma un vero e proprio messaggio in codice destinato solo a chi sa leggerlo? L'Inspiegabile Podcast è una serie originale ideata, scritta e condotta da Luca Parrella.  Produzione e Sound Design di Matteo D'Alessandro ⁠https://www.matteodalessandro.com Ascoltala su YouTube o su tutte le principali piattaforme di musica e Podcast Seguimi anche sui social

We begin this discussion by welcoming our listeners to another episode of the Fully-Booked Podcast, where we delve into the spine-chilling realm of winter horror. As we reach the midpoint of February, the cold remains a dominant presence, and with that in mind, we decide to explore horror stories set in winter landscapes.Winter horror is particularly effective in creating a sense of isolation and claustrophobia, trapping characters in dire circumstances, and heightening tension and anxiety. The conversation leads us to consider the best time to read winter horror - whether it should be reserved for the cold months to enhance immersion or if it remains just as impactful year-round.The Power of Winter in Horror NarrativesWe think that winter settings amplify horror elements by isolating characters through impassable snowstorms and relentless cold. This limitation of movement, whether due to severe weather or environmental obstacles, creates a heightened sense of vulnerability. Horror thrives on fear, desperation, and entrapment, and winter conditions intensify these emotions. The characters are not only battling supernatural or psychological threats but also nature itself.As we examine various books in the winter horror genre, we see common themes emerge. The environment itself becomes a malevolent force, exacerbating already dire situations. The cold, darkness, and loneliness intertwine with the horrors lurking within, making these stories particularly gripping.Winter Horror Book RecommendationsThe Shining by Stephen KingWe begin our exploration with The Shining, one of the most famous winter horror novels. It follows Jack Torrance and his family as they become the winter caretakers of the Overlook Hotel, an isolated, snowbound resort. The novel masterfully uses the winter setting to amplify Jack's descent into madness, highlighting themes of addiction and personal demons.Stephen King's own experiences with alcoholism make this story deeply personal, and the setting enhances the feelings of being trapped - both physically and psychologically. The supernatural elements of the Overlook Hotel prey on these vulnerabilities, turning the setting itself into an antagonist.The hosts note the differences between King's novel and Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation, which King famously disliked. While the film focuses on a more straightforward horror narrative, the novel explores deeper psychological and thematic layers, particularly addiction and the cycle of abuse.The Terror by Dan SimmonsThe Terror offers a blend of historical fiction and supernatural horror, fictionalizing the real-life doomed Franklin Expedition of the 1840s.Trapped in the Arctic ice, the crew faces not only starvation and scurvy but also an unknown supernatural force lurking in the landscape. The novel excels at conveying the utter desolation of the frozen Arctic, where isolation and hopelessness become the crew's greatest enemies. The hosts praise Simmons' detailed research and ability to make the cold itself feel like a character, evoking a profound sense of unease and dread.Near the Bone by Christina HenryThis novel intertwines winter horror with psychological terror, following a young woman trapped in an abusive relationship in an isolated mountain cabin. The story takes a sinister turn when evidence of a monstrous presence emerges in the surrounding woods.The novel cleverly uses winter's isolation as a metaphor for domestic abuse, reinforcing the protagonist's entrapment and powerlessness. The hosts appreciate how Henry creates a suffocating atmosphere where both human and inhuman horrors coexist, making for an unsettling read.At the Mountains of Madness by H.P. LovecraftLovecraft's novella explores an Antarctic expedition that uncovers ancient, otherworldly horrors beneath the ice. The story embodies Lovecraftian cosmic horror, where the unknown and incomprehensible threaten human sanity.The isolation of the Antarctic setting, combined with the protagonists' slow descent into terror, makes this a classic example of winter horror. Though the hosts acknowledge Lovecraft's problematic legacy, they recognize the impact of this work on the horror genre.[related-link2] Dead North: Canadian Zombie Fiction (Anthology edited by Silvia Moreno-Garcia)This collection of short stories brings a Canadian twist to the zombie apocalypse. The cold, harsh winter landscapes serve as both a refuge and a challenge, as freezing temperatures incapacitate zombies but also create new survival difficulties.Some stories play with the concept of zombies freezing solid, making them less of a threat, while others explore human struggles in extreme conditions. The hosts find this anthology fascinating, particularly in its representation of Canadian settings and survivalist themes.Other Notable Winter Horror StoriesMisery by Stephen KingAlthough not a supernatural horror, Misery uses winter's isolation to intensify its psychological terror. A famous novelist is held captive by his obsessive fan, completely cut off from the outside world due to a snowstorm. The claustrophobic setting and the protagonist's helplessness create an atmosphere of dread that aligns with the themes of winter horror.Boys in the Valley by Philip FracassiSet in a remote Catholic orphanage during a brutal winter, this novel follows a group of boys facing a growing supernatural evil. The winter setting enhances the sense of being cut off from the outside world, and the novel's use of possession themes adds to its disturbing nature. Let the Right One In by John Ajvide LindqvistThis Scandinavian vampire novel features an unlikely friendship between a bullied boy and a mysterious girl. The frigid Swedish winter enhances the bleak atmosphere, and the story uses its setting to explore themes of loneliness and violence. The novel was later adapted into a highly acclaimed Swedish film and a decent American remake (Let Me In).30 Days of Night (Graphic Novel by Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith)Set in an Alaskan town where the sun doesn't rise for an entire month, this vampire story cleverly uses the prolonged darkness as a hunting ground for bloodthirsty creatures. The hosts praise the concept as one of the most intelligent uses of setting in horror fiction, though they note that the film adaptation failed to fully capitalize on the story's potential.The Impact of Winter HorrorThe hosts conclude that winter horror stories work exceptionally well because they heighten feelings of vulnerability, powerlessness, and isolation. These stories tap into deep-seated fears of being trapped and alone, making the setting itself a fundamental part of the horror experience.We invite listeners to share their favorite winter horror reads, as there are undoubtedly more chilling tales waiting to be discovered. Whether read during a snowy night or in the middle of summer, these stories remind us of the power of a well-crafted setting in evoking fear and suspense.

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay take five months off to relax at a mountainous inn and discuss one of the greatest and most unnerving films of all time, 'The Shining.' Bombay kicks it off with a story about using an old school typewriter, Jack Torrance style, while outta his mind high on shrooms. Then Andy reminisces about the time he overdid it on psychedelics and walked into a furry convention in a hotel ballroom. Despite the heavy tone of the movie the fellas keep it light while discussing Stanley Kubrick's visually audacious opus. They mention Jack's drink of choice, a bourbon and egg liqueur, which is one of the oddest movie cocktails they ever noticed. Afterwards, the guys try their best to make sense of Jack accepting the job offer which was replete with one minor caveat: the last man who had your job went insane and murdered himself and his family. Then they talk about Jack Nicholson's insane faces throughout the entire runtime, and Shelley Duvall's performance that was unfairly maligned for years for being cranked to a 12 — but is alarmingly effective. The boys also go over how it wasn't such a bad deal for young Danny Torrance who got free reign in the sprawling hotel on his Big Wheel-trike, while getting to spend time with some cute twin girls his own age. Pop the episode on and listen to us forever, and ever, and ever...

In this brand new theory, Cam argues that The Shining is a wholly unique restaging of Marlowe's original that expands the spotlight to not just focus on Jack Torrance as the current Faustus-analogue, but the legion of 'caretakers' that have come before him. In this framing, Mephisopheles stops being a singular character and instead expands to become the Overlook Hotel itself, a place for him to horde all of his ill-gotten souls.

The last vestiges of the media's credibility are going up in smoke. From ghastly journalistic blunders to headlines that twist and turn like characters in a Hitchcock thriller, we'll break down how the media seems to be taking an axe to its own reputation—Jack Torrance-style.

Jack Nicholson's portrayal of Jack Torrance is both iconic and chilling, adding depth to the character's descent into madness.

The ending photograph continues to spark debate, with theories ranging from reincarnation to Jack being eternally trapped by the hotel. Memorable Quotes: “This is one of those films where the filmmaking ascends beyond the movie itself.” – Frank “Jack Nicholson's performance is just a masterclass in madness.” – Thomas “Kubrick's use of impossible architecture messes with your subconscious.” – Frank “The hotel is like a character itself, constantly shifting and playing with your mind.” – Thomas Call to Action: If you loved this breakdown of The Shining, don't forget to subscribe to Challenge Accepted on your favorite podcast platform!

Jack Torrance moves his family into The Overlook Hotel for the winter so he can concentrate on his book. His son's special ability reveals a troubled history which soon begins to impose itself on Jack, leading to a delusional and murderous finale. Stanley Kubrick's multi layered masterpiece was dismissed by critics, nominated for Razzies and hated by Stephen King. But quick reappraisal established The Shining as a pop culture icon and one of the greatest horror movies ever.

Jack Torrance becomes winter caretaker at the isolated Overlook Hotel. He hopes to cure his writer's block and moves in with his family, his wife and his gifted son who is plagued by psychic premonitions. As Jack's writing goes nowhere, and Danny's visions become more disturbing, Jack discovers the hotel's dark secrets and begins to unravel into a homicidal maniac hellbent on terrorizing his family. That can only mean one thing, we watched The Shining on this episode of Retro Vs. Remake!

This week we finish off Spooky Season by discussing Stanley Kubrick's rendition of The Shining! Starring Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Scatman Crothers, and Danny Lloyd, this film is loosely based on Stephen King's 1977 novel. There are numerous differences, however, and it is all but confirmed that Kubrick brought his own vision to King's backdrop. Jack Nicholson portrays Jack Torrance, a writer who takes a job to watch after a hotel during the off-season for 5 months. He brings his family and when everyone else leaves, things start to get FREAKY. Jack begins the slow descent into madness while his wife and child are just trying to stay alive and stay sane. The level of detailed analysis that people have done on this film over the past 43 years is truly something to behold, and there is undoubtedly a lot to discuss... But Is The Shining Good?If you'd like to suggest a film or film franchise, or if you'd just like to say hello, you can reach us at butisitgoodpodcast@gmail.com, @biigpodcast on Twitter, or @butisitgoodpodcast on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube!

We head to The Overlook Hotel with a full house and a very special guest. The Shining is a movie that is burnt into pop culture and we give it the royal treatment it deserves - "Here's Johnny"!!"The Shining," directed by Stanley Kubrick and based on Stephen King's novel of the same name, unfolds the descent into madness of Jack Torrance, portrayed with an electrifying intensity by Jack Nicholson. Set within the isolating expanses of the Overlook Hotel, the film weaves a harrowing tale of supernatural horror and psychological unravelling. The hotel, itself a character, amplifies the familial decay and eerie supernatural occurrences, presenting a dual-natured antagonist alongside Jack's deteriorating sanity.Kubrick's direction notably strays from King's novel, employing a more ambiguous and psychologically intricate narrative, emphasizing visual and auditory experiences over explicit storytelling. The director's utilization of Steadicam technology immerses the audience in a smooth, yet paradoxically disorienting visual journey through the labyrinthine hotel. This technique, paired with the unsettling, repetitious score, compounds the suspense, reflecting the chaotic spiral of the Torrance family.Nicholson's performance is complemented by Shelley Duvall, who portrays Wendy Torrance, encapsulating a terrified yet fiercely protective mother. While Duvall's performance was criticized by some for being overly frantic, it reflects Wendy's traumatic experience, providing a distressing mirror to Jack's menacing demeanour. Danny Lloyd, playing their psychic son Danny, delivers an eerily mature performance, navigating the horrors with a blend of childlike innocence and perceptiveness, evidenced through his relationship with his imaginary friend, Tony.The Shining goes beyond mere scares; it explores themes of isolation, familial disintegration, and the haunting spectre of the past. The symbolic use of imagery, such as the infamous river of blood from the elevator, the hauntingly vacant stares of the twin girls, and the perplexing room 237, contribute to the film's enduring impact and myriad interpretations. These symbols weave a rich tapestry that invites viewers to dissect and discuss the film's underlying meanings long after the credits roll.Kubrick's decision to minimize explicit supernatural explanations enables a potent exploration of Jack's internal deterioration, questioning the boundaries between internal demons and external supernatural forces. This intentional ambiguity permeates the film, leaving the audience to grapple with the complex interplay between the psychological and the supernatural, between perceived reality and delusion.In sum, "The Shining" stands as a timeless piece of cinematic horror, combining sublime performances, innovative cinematography, and a multi-layered narrative to create an unsettling, perplexing, and viscerally horrifying masterpiece.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

We're back for episode two of the season to gush over 1980's masterpiece The Shining, and we're not alone! Colby Day (Spaceman, In The Blink of an Eye, Happy Vacation) joins in as we nerd out over just how danged good this film is. We discuss the theories (ranging from plausible to full on conspiracy) that surround the film, Jack Torrance's contempt for his family from day one, and why Scott may have been a good Spanky.

In this episode, about Stanley Kubrick's classic movie The Shining, we divide our interests neatly between sexual trauma and racism. Well, we attempt to divide them neatly. Andy and Alicia on the side of sex, Jake and Sagi on the side of Race. Andy starts us off by hypothesizing, in intricate detail, the possibility that the movie is about the actual sexual assault of young Danny by Jack Torrance. He also brackets everything with a comment about how endless the interpretations of this movie can be, and that we the "critical readers" end up trapped in the snowy labyrinth that awaits Jack outside. Sagi is all about this word Overlook, and the way it is tied to the manifest destiny of the white man. He also thinks about the way the white man goes into trance or self-hypnosis in order to Overlook the violence he commits.Jake introduces us to Frank Wilderson's theory about the difference between the grammar of violence committed against Native Americans and that committed against Black people. Jake reads this into the movie, since there is a famous interpretation that the Shining's violence represents the violent genocide of Native Americans, but few people have discussed the gratuitous murder of the Black man Dick.Alicia brings it home for us, thinking about the traumatic sexual encounter that occurs in room 237, where Jack meets a gorgeous naked women who decays into a corpse. What does this say about the male gaze? What does this say about our objects of desire? And how does the trauma of sex relate to racist violence?Jake and Sagi go Beast & Sovereign for the most part, and Alicia and Andy give us some good 'ole Pervs 'R Us.

Zack's pick this week reminds him of the days when he was just a young lad wiping his bum clean after watching it. The Shining holds up surprisingly well for a movie that's over 40 years old, despite whack ass Tony.Directed by Stanley Kubrick. Starring Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duval, and Danny Lloyd."Jack Torrance accepts a caretaker job at the Overlook Hotel, where he, along with his wife Wendy and their son Danny, must live isolated from the rest of the world for the winter. But they aren't prepared for the madness that lurks within."Timestamps 0:00 - Intro / Initial Reviews10:23 - Spoiler Territory47:24 - Final Thoughts / Reviews52:10 - Next Movie RevealFOLLOW US ON SOCIALSInstagram - @thelitterboxpodLetterboxd - thelitterboxpodTwitter/X/Elon's Land of Lawlessness - @litterboxpod

Dean, Matthew, and Scott recruit the help of Kirking Off host, Brian, and the four of them go deep into Mike Flannagan's attempt balance the Kubrick/King dichotomy with his vision of Doctor Sleep. Danny is all grown up, he's a drunk, and his actions have caused more death than Jack Torrance ever did. Dick Halloran is back, and he's got opinions on Danny's porn choices, and Bruce Greenwood makes an appearance as AA Doctor from Southie. Smiley from Training Day gets a prize if he saves three white folk in one month, and he hopes he doesn't have to blow grown-up Danny's brains out in his bathtub. Rose the Hat and the True Knot cruise around with their fancy hats (shoes optional), and Dean does his best Emperor impression in an attempt to get Portland Anderson to go back to his southern roots. It's a wild ride that you will not want to miss!
