Well, hello, it's me, Alex Steed, one of the co-hosts of Why Our Dads. I want to thank you so much for

checking out this bonus episode. We didn't really intend to put this out as a primary episode,

but then we took this week off, so we figured, you know, if you want to hear some Why Our Dad's

action while we're not around while we're taking a break, there's this for you.

This is a conversation we had about the movie Room 237, which was obviously inspired by our

conversation about the shining page to screen, a handful of weeks back.

And we do these bonus episodes on Patreon.

We posted this yesterday on Patreon.

We do them a couple of times a month, sometimes more than

that. They're meant to be showcases of conversations that don't otherwise fit into the traditional

show format. Sometimes we talk about stuff like this. Sometimes we talk about what just made us

happy in the week. Sometimes we talk about death. So it's a range of stuff. This episode,

as all of our episodes are, was produced by Carolyn Kendrick.

So thank you so much to Carolyn.

And you can find more episodes like this at patreon.com slash why our dads.

Now, hopefully you will join us for our proper episode this week, which is about Blue Valentine,

which we covered with our friend Esme Wang.

But until then, let's talk about some shining inspired in Kubrickian conspiracy theories in the

context of Room 237.

Sarah, who is this man?

This man is Patrick McGinty, who is one of my favorite writers, academics.

He's a school teacher.
