The Shining (1997)

Stephen King spent many years after Stanley Kubrick's 1980 adaptation of his book lamenting its existence because of how it deviated from his work. In the 1990s following the success of the 1990 IT miniseries he got his wish to help oversee what he considers a more "true" adaptation of his novel. Join us as we discuss the Mick Garris take of Stephen King's novel about a recovering alcoholic teacher/writer who is hired as a caretaker for a haunted hotel and brings his family with him during an isolated Colorado winter.
