198. 'The Shining', Part 1

I went from not really ever wanting to watch 'The Shining' again...to now doing my first-ever two-part episode! 

Funny how often the answer to 'why did that film affect me so much as a child?' turns out to be 'DUH!'.

Part 1 covers the origin story of the film, some of the King/Kubrick interplay over the years, the casting, the sound design, the music, and some cinema speculation on what it's all about. 

Will post all episode materials and links when I post Part 2, which will cover the design and build of the sets, specific scenes, and MORE.
