Happy Wednesday Screenagers! The Canon: An Essential Movies Watchlist is back with more movie magic. This week, we’re talking The Shining.

We hope you enjoy listening!


Episode 26: The Shining (1980)

Come play with us! The Canon ends its Halloween month celebration with Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 classic. Friend of the show and ScreenAge Wasteland’s resident horror expert, Bob Cram, is back to chat with Raf about how the movie stacks up against the book, nightmares about the woman in room 237, and whether Kubrick really filmed the moon landing. Also, Raf reveals his unhealthy obsession with all things The Shining.
