Episode 8 Prep
I saw Kubrik's The Shining for the first time when I was a freshman in college. I was terrified. So terrified I didn't pick up the book until a few months ago. At which time, I proceeded to scare the crap out of myself between phone calls at work in the deepest, darkest, loneliest parts of the night. Spurred by a short, though heated, podcast conversation on author intent while digressing (shocker) in an early episode, Luke and I decided to do a The Shining Show as the author HIMSELF (Stephen King) has, on various and sundry occasions declared, "THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT," regarding dear old Stan's movie version, even going so far as to remake the film in mini-series format. Filled with trepidation, I agreed to watch the movie again so as to be able to make educated and informed conversation on the intended topic. Some thoughts upon this more mature viewing:

Tony is much scarier in Danny's head than he is in Danny's mouth.

Then again, I'd hallucinate a more interesting bartender. #TheShining

Wait until I REALLY start ranting.
