Feeling like you're in a maze, especially in these apocalyptic times? How about I make an Astro Gnosis lecture public that will get you out of this cosmic Overlook Hotel labyrinth? Steven Snider unravels the deep symbolism behind the "Oubliette" — a recurring labyrinthine motif in art, literature, psychology, and pop culture. Inspired by haunting dreams and shaped by centuries of philosophical and artistic expression, let's journey through the architecture of the subconscious and the mythic roots of infinite reality. From Piranesi's impossible prisons to Borges' quantum labyrinths and Hellraiser's mechanical horrors, Steven traces the Oubliette as a dark mirror of the human psyche. He weaves connections between surreal art, psychoanalysis, and mathematical paradoxes to explore how this ancient structure may be embedded in our very consciousness. Of course, he covers M. C. Escher.

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.

“Here's Johnny!” Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting duo – Ian & Liam (with Megs checking in later once she arrives from Florida) – as we snowmobile into the Overlook Hotel for our 280th episode (B-Tech Kev's not here. Doesn't he get that all work and no play make Kev a dull boy?) and crack open Stanley Kubrick's psychological horror masterpiece The Shining (1980). We're trading ditching the swim team for haunted hallways and axing our way through one of the most iconic films ever made as we discuss: Liam talks far too much about a film that we're not reviewing today (but what else is new?). We correct a few political misnomers from last week, because facts matter—especially when ghosts are listening. Ian talks about the passing of George Wendt; Liam, not to be outdone, imagines the hypothetical passing of one of his heroes. Megs joins us and delivers a full-on mini-episode as she trials her new sidepod and recounts her real-life triumph over the forces of nature. We debate whether Jack Nicholson is giving a genuinely strong performance… or just letting his charisma do all the heavy lifting. Is there causality in this story—or is it all just vibes? And if there isn't, shouldn't that break the movie? Ian reveals who he's in good company with on this one—and who he most certainly is not. Ian also explains the origin of the iconic “Here's Johnny!” line to, well… everyone. Ian asks if this movie is trying to cram two different horror movies into one Liam swears this isn't a horror movie and the boys try to come up with a list of what makes a film a horror film Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE.

fWotD Episode 2893: The Suicide of Rachel Foster Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 6 April 2025 is The Suicide of Rachel Foster.The Suicide of Rachel Foster is a 2020 adventure video game developed by One-O-One Games and published by Daedalic Entertainment. Set in December 1993, the story follows Nicole Wilson returning to her family's hotel to inspect and sell it. Ten years prior, Nicole and her mother left the Timberline Hotel after learning of her father's affair with the teenaged Rachel Foster. After being forced to stay longer than expected due to a snowstorm, Nicole decides to investigate Rachel's mysterious suicide with the assistance of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) agent Irving Crawford; her only contact with the outside world. The player controls Nicole as she navigates the Timberline Hotel, collecting various items to solve puzzles and progress with the story, all the while using a mobile phone to converse with Irving.One-O-One Games aimed to make a horror game that created fear from suspense rather than traditional monsters, developing the narrative and gameplay simultaneously to complement each other. The game was set in a hotel due to the developers' belief this would elicit fear and claustrophobia in players; in particular, the Overlook Hotel from the horror film The Shining (1980) served as inspiration for the Timberline Hotel. One-O-One Games designed The Suicide of Rachel Foster as a walking simulator to explore real-life topics, due to the genre's focus on narrative and exploration. They sought professional advice to portray delicate topics such as child sexual abuse and suicide compassionately.Daedalic released The Suicide of Rachel Foster for Windows in February 2020, for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in September 2020, and for Nintendo Switch in October 2021. The game received mixed reviews from critics. Praise was aimed at the setting and sound design, as well as at Nicole and Irving, their relationship, and the actors' performances, while the plot and mystery, as well as some gameplay aspects, received a mixed reception. Critics responded overwhelmingly negatively to the depiction of child sexual abuse and suicide, arguing the game does not handle these topics sensitively; the ending was criticized for forcing players to participate in an interactive suicide attempt. A sequel, The Fading of Nicole Wilson, was announced in October 2024 and is set to release in 2025.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:12 UTC on Sunday, 6 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see The Suicide of Rachel Foster on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kajal.

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?

AntiTrash comes to a close this week as we return to the States (via Pinewood Studios). To cap off the month, we check in to the Overlook Hotel to test our longterm isolation stamina. That's right, it's the horror movie we've most talked about without actually talking about it — The Shining. Kubrick's classic has informed the last 45 years of filmmaking, especially the horror genre. We talk about it as best we can, including its oblique nature, and all of the theories that have risen in its wake. Tune in now to hear our discussion of The Shining. If you would like to support the show or check out our ongoing limited series over Twin Peaks: The Return, visit us at Patreon.com/GTM.

Get bonus episodes on Patreon! The Shining is a Doctor Faustus retelling, but that's not the headline here. 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.

It's no longer Halloween Month because we're one day late in uploading this, but regardless, here's our penultimate ep on Kubrick (one more for Noirvember!) and the final episode for Spooky Season! Hemant and Amartya have ditched Dhruv on his much-anticipated trip to the Overlook Hotel, but he's joined by two returning guests -- the perpetually disgruntled Varun and the perpetually enthusiastic Arijit -- each of who provides their contrasting opinions on Stanley Kubrick's most discussed film of all time -- "The Shining" (1980). Everything -- from the film's divergences from Stephen King's original novel to bonkers and fruitful conspiracy theories surrounding the film's layers of subtext to wildly contrasting opinions on the performances of the central cast -- is discussed here. All -- we promise -- in a civil and hopefully organized way. Major spoilers, of course, for everything "The Shining" related -- the novel, the film, "Room 237," and even, to some extent, Mike Flanagan's "Doctor Sleep." Do listen to the full episode to let us know what you think of the film (and the novel!), and if anything we contributed to its already endless discourse was of any value!

In this episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank and Thomas tackle Stanley Kubrick's 1980 horror classic, The Shining. They delve into the film's complex filmmaking techniques, such as its use of Steadicam and impossible architecture, and explore the layered meanings behind Jack Nicholson's iconic performance as Jack Torrance. From the eerie vibes of the Overlook Hotel to the haunting final photograph, this episode breaks down the symbolism and psychological horror that makes The Shining a timeless masterpiece. Plus, hear personal stories about horror movie experiences, including Thomas' encounter with the real-life Stanley Hotel! Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 - Introduction: Welcome and overview of The Shining (1980) 00:28 - Horror Film Rankings: Where does The Shining stand in horror history? 01:29 - Visiting the Stanley Hotel: Thomas shares his personal experience 03:08 - Horror Movie Memories: Frank talks about growing up with horror movies 04:24 - Plot Breakdown: A quick summary of The Shining's storyline 06:13 - The Shining Powers: Discussing Danny's powers and their importance 07:18 - Wendy Torrance: The portrayal of Wendy and her role in the story 09:30 - Jack Torrance's Descent: Jack Nicholson's transformation into madness 13:30 - Kubrick's Filmmaking: Analysis of Kubrick's use of Steadicam and visual effects 20:17 - The Impossible Architecture: How the Overlook Hotel messes with your mind 27:00 - The Maze Sequence: Symbolism behind the hedge maze 30:53 - The Gold Room: The psychological meaning behind Jack's bar scenes 39:48 - The Final Photograph: Exploring theories around the haunting ending Key Takeaways: The Shining is more than just a horror movie; it's a psychological thriller with layers of hidden meanings. Stanley Kubrick's filmmaking techniques, such as Steadicam and impossible architecture, play a major role in unsettling the audience. Jack Nicholson's portrayal of Jack Torrance is both iconic and chilling, adding depth to the character's descent into madness. Wendy Torrance, while often criticized for being a flat character, plays a crucial role in demonstrating the horror from a “normal” person's perspective. 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!

Viewing historic pictures from the Lord Baltimore Hotel conjures images of the Overlook Hotel and Jack Torrance standing for a photo with a large group of guests. It's heyday came during the glitz and glamour of the 20s and 30s. The hotel has stood for nearly 100 years and hosted several notable people.

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.

But quick reappraisal established The Shining as a pop culture icon and one of the greatest horror movies ever.

Cornell philosopher David Shoemaker joins us for a long winding journey up to the Overlook Hotel, a DEEP dive on Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. We tackle all the big questions - is the hotel truly haunted? What if anything does it symbolize? Why are there two Gradys and two sets of daughters?  How does the filmmaking – and the Steadicam in particular - amplify our sense of dread?  Does Jack shine too? How does he get out of the storage closet? Is Shelly Duval's performance actually brilliant? What the fuck is up with Bill? Should the Overlook have included a land acknowledgment? And lots more.

We all love Bacon right? Right? Well in this episode we will find out as we dive into one of the most criminally underrated paranormal horror movies of the 90's. Hindered by the release of the Sixth Sense, Stir Of Echoes sees Kevin Bacon take on the role of a sceptic who is hypnotised to be more open to everything and like magic develops the shine. Oh his son also seems to have abilities normally limited to The Overlook Hotel too. This is a fun episode, with interactive features and a lot of laughs.

Recorded on Monday May 20th, Sunday May 26th and Wednesday June 19th, 2024 * This episode should have been out a lot sooner. We ran into some technical issues with Youtube.com. So, without further delay here is our latest and greatest episode! Enjoy! What up, fans! That Horror Show Podcast brings you another brand-new episode, featuring those horrible hosts Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig. If you know the saying, "We turn tears of sadness...into tears of laughter", consider this double-feature review episode being about transforming horror into hilarity...of sorts. In other words, this episode features reviews on two movies that combine - yep, you guessed it! - gory horror with silly humor. So, with all that said: sit back, relax and give this episode a listen as the two hosts talk about the alien invasion cult classic "Slither" (2006), and then after that the hosts take a peek at the science fiction/horror/comedy-whatsit "Psycho Goreman" (2020). And don't forget to check out Nate of 'Kids Corner' in which he takes a little trip to the Overlook Hotel to review "The Shining" (1980)...or, as Groundskeeper Willie called it "The Shinning" for legal purposes.

Send us a Text Message.We return to Australia for the second time in a month, to find that (once again), home invasion isn't the worst thing to happen on a typical day. Alan Baxter's Blood Covenant is a violent, thrilling story of a threeway battle between an innocent family, a nasty criminal gang of bogans (see, I'm learning!) and an otherworldly force that is even worse! Think, what if The Strangers took place in the Overlook Hotel. It's a hugely enjoyable book that prompts a conversation about the influence of 70s and 80s paperback classics, the overlap of horror and crime in Australian fiction, some extreme horror movies and a whole long celebration of unpretentious storytelling. Enjoy! Blood Covenant is released May 24th from Cemetary Dance  Other books mentioned: The Gulp (2021), by Alan BaxterHidden City (2018), by Alan Baxter The Fatal Shore: The Epic of Australia's Founding (1986), by Robert Hughes“Devil” by Glen Hirshberg, in Screams From the Dark: 29 Tales of Monsters and the Monstrous (2022), edited by Ellen DatlowThe Fog (1975), by James HerbertThe Hunted (2021), by Gabriel BergmoserTerra Nullius (2017), by Claire G.

In May of 2017, while the snow piled up outside, Sam & Roger sat in the Eagles Nest, the highest point within the historical Timberline Lodge.  The very structure that served as the exterior of the Overlook Hotel in The Shining. Conversations about low-budget exploitation cinema, both past and present were had. Rest in peace, Roger. Thanks for everything.

This week's Empire Podcast has more guests than the Overlook Hotel, all chatting to Chris Hewitt about their new movies. First, producer Jordan Peele tells Chris why he was so taken by Dev Patel's directorial debut, Monkey Man, that he came on board to help it get a theatrical release. Plus, they also talk why Peele is no longer acting. [15:40 - 30:56 approx] Then, Rufus Sewell — who plays Prince Andrew in Scoop, a film based on the infamous 2019 Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis — and director Philip Martin talk about the task of playing one of the most famous men on the planet. [44:28 - 59:38 approx] And finally, while The First Omen — the prequel to The Omen, which shall henceforth be known as The Second Omen — is a terrifying tour de force, Chris' interview with its stars, Nell Tiger Free and Bill Nighy, is anything but as they talk about being dressed by the Vatican, being hit by lightning, and decapitations. [1:19:23 - 1:37:04 approx] Either side of all of those, Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara and, making a rare appearance on the podcast, Empire contributor Neil Alcock, who talks about his new Alfred Hitchcock book, Hitchology, which is out now. The trio also discuss which British sitcom stars should have made it on the big screen, tackle the week's movie news (in which Neil is Galactusplained to by Chris), and review The First Omen, Monkey Man, and Scoop. It's all for you, Empire Podcast listeners! Enjoy.

On this special episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with the inventor of the Steadicam: Garrett Brown (YENTL, THE SHINING, BOUND FOR GLORY). He not only invented the tool but also frequently operated it, breaking the new system in on MARATHON MAN, ROCKY, and BOUND FOR GLORY in a single summer in the mid-1970s. With just a high-school level of understanding of physics, Garrett was able (after a long, isolated week in a remote hotel) to think through the fundamental design of the Steadicam which is still used today—50 years after its invention. We learn about the biomechanics of the human body that informed the design of the Steadicam and of the four key aspects of the device that isolate the camera from its operator. Garrett later recounts the day he first used the prototype on BOUND FOR GLORY (its first ever use in a feature film no less!) and how the late cinematographer Haskell Wexler fought for its inclusion. Garrett also shares how Stanley Kubrick utilized the unique properties of the Steadicam while filming THE SHINING to move the camera “like a ghost” through the empty halls of the Overlook Hotel and chase the indefatigable child actor Daniel Lloyd across miles of carpet. Few people can claim to have changed the way we make movies, and Garrett is one of them. - This episode is sponsored by the Dallas Film Commission Instagram: @dallasfilmcommission
