On today’s super special bonus episode, Jinx welcomes on legendary author Stephen King. Writer of numerous classics in the genre, Mr. King has chosen Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film adaptation of his own novel The Shining for discussion.
With its terrifying setpieces, beautiful Steadicam work and iconic lead performance, The Shining inspires a discussion which touches on the novel’s inspiration (William Castle’s House on Haunted Hill?!), the movie’s original casting (Robert Redford as Jack Torrance?!), and why the film is Mr. King’s own personal favorite adaptation of all his work.
It’s an incredible episode with an unlikely guest, and it’s one you probably would have enjoyed!
