The Shining

Seeing Read with Jim & Kelly

Yo ho ho and a bottle of REDRUM, let's kick off Halloween at the Overlook Hotel! Our favorite bartender Lloyd will be slinging imaginary martinis and the blood in the elevator will be flowing. *Dog costume not included, so if you're a ghost Furry... come prepared.
In a Samhain swap up, Jimmy shines first. Since we've all seen this classic horror flick, he's must defend the iconic Kubrick film. Steeped in conspiracy theories and strategic imagery the film lives on in the public consciousness but does it leave you feeling cold? Colder than it left Stephen King... and Jack? Or does the film bring the subject material to a new artistic height. Some might say as far as the fake moon landing.
Kelly, knight of the Stephen King-dom is ready to remind everyone what the book is really about... love! And alcoholism. Aaaand generational trauma. But let's go mostly with love. Can Kelly save Jack Torrence's reputation and motives or is that as impossible as trying to make roque relevant? The topiary animals are at her beck and call, though the furnace is still fussy.
Whether you'd rather stay in room 217 or room 237, we're all stuck in this resort together. Forever and ever. Just remember it's ok to take a mallet to your family, lock your dad in the pantry, and put a hole in a hotel door with an ax... just leave the bees out of it.
