The Cinema Lab team checks in to the picturesque and not-at-all-menacing Overlook Hotel for some good old-fashioned family time! Dive deep with us into the mysteries, conspiracy theories and mind-altering horror of the 1980 Stanley Kubrick classic, "The Shining". Topics include: Stephen King's hatred of this adaptation of his book, the genius and glory of the Steadicam, the film's incredible soundtrack and a primer on avant-garde music, issues of actors' rights, the David Lynch connection, why Kubrick DIDN'T help NASA fake the moon landing...and so much more! As Father-Of-The-Year winner Jack Torrence would say, "GO CHECK IT OUT!"
