38: The Shining (1980) - Part One

The Shining finally got the two-part treatment - because some movies just won't fit in a box. Part 1 covers our personal histories with the film, how it landed (badly) when it first came out, and how it became one of the most analyzed pieces of horror cinema ever made. We get into Kubrick's adaptation choices, the famous tension between his vision and Stephen King's novel, and what it actually looked like to make this movie - the cast, the sets, the myths, the takes. So many takes. Next week we finish up our deep dive with Vibe Check and Story Time. See you there.
