The Shining (1980)

It’s the podcast where a filmmaker and a comedian slowly trudge through the frozen hedge maze of the 80s movies we think we love or might have missed. This is The Shining, a movie selection from 1980. Join improv comedian Krissy Lenz (The Neighborhood Comedy Theatre, The Cool Time Dice Hour), and filmmaker Nathan Blackwell (Voyage Trekkers, The Last Movie Ever Made) for a suspenseful journey into the supernatural!

Letterboxd Says: “HE CAME AS THE CARETAKER, BUT THIS HOTEL HAD ITS OWN GUARDIANS – WHO’D BEEN THERE A LONG TIME Jack Torrance accepts a caretaker job at the Overlook Hotel, where he, along with his wife Wendy and their son Danny, must live isolated from the rest of the world for the winter. But they aren’t prepared for the madness that lurks within.”

Get the recap, the review, the ratings and deep-cut recommendations! PLUS, stick around for the hosts to share how their summer movie picks worked out.

It’s the podcast where a filmmaker (Nathan Blackwell of Squishy Studios) and a comedian (Krissy Lenz of Neighborhood Comedy Theatre) take a hilarious look at the 80s movies we think we love or might have missed with modern eyes and probably a significant haze of nostalgia.
