THE SHINING: Dissecting every theory from Room 237

Jan 22nd, 2025 11:00 AM

For the new year we tackle the mother of all fan theory films, The Shining. Join us as we take on all the strange interpretations that have popped up around this film, including the theories offered in the documentary Room 237. We talk about The Shining being an allegory for the eradication of Native Americans, the idea that it's actually about sex demons, the quirks of director Stanley Kubrick and we even discuss whether or not he helped fake the moon landing. We also prove once and for all that it's not just Danny who shines, his entire family does! And make sure to stick around to the end to hear our brand new theme song. Do you like what we do?
