May 23, 1980 marked the release of Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING. Disliked by Stephen King, on whose novel it was based, and dismissed by critics at the time of its original release, 40 years later, the film is considered one of the greatest horror movies of all time.

Nearly four decades after the release of Kubrick's classic, Mike Flanagan's DOCTOR SLEEP, based on King's 2013 novel, dared to revisit the world that Kubrick created. On this episode, we'll delve into the origins of King's sequel, Flanagan's film, and how the final product turned out. Joining us on this episode is friend of the show Todd Davis!
