 You asked for it. We delivered. In the spirit of self-isolation, this week Nicole and Rolando take a trip to the Overlook Hotel in Colorado to explore their shine or steam or whatever it is. The two explore the legacy of Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" and its sequel "Doctor Sleep," directed by Mike Flanagan. How does the 1980 horror film compare to the 2019 flop? Does "The Shining" get more credit than deserved or is it truly one of the genre's best films? Also, Nicole and Rolando speculate wildly as to why the 2019 follow-up flopped while breaking down how the film honors (or mishandles) Kubrick's work. Listen now.
