Doctor Sleep

We take another break from Noirvember to cover a film that attempts to reconcile the differences between the two different versions of The Shining, along with providing a look at the continuing adventures of Danny Torrance: Doctor Sleep. Starring Ewan McGregor as the adult Danny, it follows him attempting to prevent a young girl with her shining ability from being consumed by Rosie the Hat and the evil True Knot gang. It attempts to reconcile the differences between the original book and film, along with telling a coherent, entertaining story, not an easy task. The One Season Show's Jess Byard and The Projection Booth's Mike White join Chris to talk about the film, the book, and the differences between the two.
