Ep. 008: The Shining

Episode 8: Shiri and Luke freak themselves out with The Shining: both the glory that is the book and the compilation of boredom and giant teeth that is Stanley Kubrik’s film.  The fact Stephen King disliked the movie stokes the boiler of the conversation about the author’s relationship to other-media translations of their work.  There is Suck and there is Goodand then we traipse off into our respective arctic wastelands.
