The podcast goes back to
the beginning with their first revisit to the works of Stephen King
since their inaugural coverage. This time, they discuss his
landmark 1977 horror novel, THE SHINING. This episode covers Parts
1 & 2 (of 5) for the book, where the reader is introduced to the
principle characters and the setting/premise. Jack Torrance agrees
to stay on at the Overlook Hotel as its winter caretaker along with
his wife, Wendy, and their son, Danny. The threat of cabin fever
looms as Danny has dark premonitions featuring the mysterious
“redrum.”
Topics include: Stephen King’s impact on pop culture, King’s
recounting of how he came up the idea for the novel, the sometimes
confessional nature of fiction, James’ stay at a seedy motel, why
Stephen King doesn’t like Stanley Kubrick’s famous adaptation, what
the creeping of the boiler could represent, the SK extended
universe, King’s love of telepathic children, and the guys’
personal feelings about the existence of premonitions and déjà
vu.
