SHOWNOTES: Happy Halloween, Collateral Cinema fans! We're celebrating the 2019 holiday by discussing one of the greatest and most influential horror films of all time, and another this season based on a best-selling novel by Stephen King: The Shining, the 1980 movie adaptation directed, produced, and written by Stanley Kubrick! Beau, Robert, and Ash appraise the value of the film as a pop culture phenomenon, give our thoughts on the cinematic direction taken by Kubrick in comparison and contrast to King's original story, and analyze the implicit qualities of layered storytelling throughout. We even have time to mention the documentary film Room 237 and the upcoming sequel adaptation Doctor Sleep. You can check in any time you like, but—wait, that's the wrong popular culture hotel reference!
