This week, Rob, Dave, and Kurt dive deep into one of the most haunting and visually striking films of the 1980s—Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. Released in 1980 and based (loosely) on Stephen King’s novel, the film stars Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance, a struggling writer who takes a job as the winter caretaker of the isolated Overlook Hotel. Alongside his wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and young son Danny (Danny Lloyd), Jack’s descent into madness unfolds through Kubrick’s signature slow-burn tension, eerie atmosphere, and unforgettable imagery—from the ghostly twins in the hallway to that chilling “Here’s Johnny!” moment.
The crew explores how The Shining went beyond traditional horror to become a psychological masterpiece. They’ll dig into Kubrick’s meticulous direction, Nicholson’s unhinged performance, and the film’s enduring mysteries—from the Overlook’s sinister layout to the cryptic final photograph. Expect theories, trivia, and maybe even a few laughs as Rob, Dave, and Kurt revisit what many consider the ultimate blend of artistry and terror in 1980s cinema
