The Shining with Thomas Lennon
Episode 107, Feb 16, 2022, 09:00 AM
Reno 911's Thomas Lennon (Lt. Jim Dangle himself!) pays a visit to The Kingcast boys to explain why he finds Stephen King's The Shining to be one of the best American novels ever written. Naturally, things go off the rails instantly when the trio try to compare and contrast the book, Kubrick's film and the Stephen King-approved TV mini-series. There's a ridiculous amount of Fred Gwynne/Jud Crandall impersonating going on, is what I'm saying. Also a surprising amount of discussion about Nicolas Cage's New Orleans houses. This one's a banger, folks.
Stephen King's first full-blown masterpiece, and the novel that moved him firmly to the top of the best seller list, is front and center once more. The topic: The Shining. The guest... well, someone comfortable wearing some really short shorts.
