S4:E3 The Shining (1980 Film)

This week, we're heading into the snowbound terror of The Shining and comparing it to Stanley Kubrick's iconic adaptation. We break down how the novel and the film tell very different stories, from character motivations to thematic intent, and why King's version and Kubrick's version often feel like two completely separate nightmares. Hosted by Lindsey with co-hosts Crystal and Keri. Books & Adaptations Mentioned: The Shining by Stephen King https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/0...
