The Shining
Part 2
Yes, the wife and I went to the Stanley Hotel and I dressed up in an Alice in Wonderland dress meant for a hyper-obese woman. I only did it cause I am the World's Greatest Husband, well after Kubrick's Jack Torrance...
This is a big week for TKOH Podcast. We add an all new host, making the dynamic duo the nerd-a-trois, we discuss at the greatest of lengths Kubrick's The Shining and Room 237. Jake's power went out midway through, which was awesome and made for some different audio.
King is very outspoken about his feelings for Kubrick's vision. We break down Kubrick's masterpiece and discuss the ins and outs of why King is wrong. The three of us empathize with King and his viewpoint, especially since it seems King views the book as an allegory for some very personal struggles, but let's face it he is wrong. Kubrick has the incredible ability to spark debate, conversation, controversy and obsession in its fans and critics alike.
Room 237 takes obsession to an entirely new level. The question remains, who is more insane Jack or the talking heads in this unique doc. We had fun with it, not Jake so much, but the rest of us did.
Think of The Shining, we argue that all of the images you recognize are from Kubrick's film not the King book. Part 2 is filled with awesomeness as we dive headfirst into the psychological deep end of the pool. There are some pretty brilliant references in the links below. Enjoy!
