Summary

We take a close look at The Shining—both the Stephen King classic and the Stanley Kubrick classic—and discuss Jack Torrance's multiple shortcomings in the fatherhood department. We made a playlist to accompany this episode! (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6Q3d7LVGZNj9qlcNSZIWcH?si=nzNjoSpPTviDDrySf0eafw) It's comprised of songs that come to mind when we all think about this movie. Why Are Dads (https://www.podpage.com/why-are-dads/) is a show in which hosts Sarah Marshall and Alex Steed attempt to understand what the hell it means to be the grown children of dads and other dad-like figures. And, as they do with all difficult subject matter, they do so by looking through a pop culture lens. You can find us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/whyaredads), Instagram (https://instagram.com/whyaredads) and Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/whyaredads). You can find producer and music director Carolyn Kendrick's music here. (fanlink.to/ctuc) She's also on Twitter (https://twitter.com/carekendrick).

0:00.0	Hello Sarah Marshall. Hello Alex Steve. You whoever has this in their ears are listening
0:14.5	to wire dads. Thank you for doing that. Yeah thank you. Out of all the podcasts in
0:19.4	the entire world you chose this one. Yeah what are some other options do we think?
0:25.2	What else could so on be listening to? You could I mean I just feel like if I named
0:30.0	anything there's a podcast about it right? Like municipal water use in Kansas City. I
0:37.2	bet you could be listening to that the Kansas City Water Bureau pod. Totally. I bet there's
0:42.0	someone who just records like scanners like police scanners and that's a podcast. I certainly
0:47.5	hope so and you could be listening to that right now and maybe I just lost you. What did you say
0:54.5	the other day on Twitter about chemistry and podcasts? To me podcasts are a difficult medium
0:59.3	because you can start listening to something and you can be super interested in the subject matter
1:04.5	and yet if you're me you can be like these people are pretending to have chemistry and they don't
1:10.6	and it is very distracting and now I can't focus on snow tires or whatever this thing is about.
1:18.5	Sarah what are you talking about in today's wire dads? We are talking about Stephen King's,
1:23.5	The Shining and Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Two great tastes that perhaps can taste great together.
1:32.6	You'll find out by the end of this episode what we think. Either a will or a won't yeah.
1:37.1	You have some warmth for The Shining. You know okay so I went on a whole journey when we did this
1:43.4	episode because I was like I'm gonna reread the book and I'm gonna watch the movie and I'm just
1:48.8	gonna like try and count to both of them as fresh as possible and I knew that I loved
1:54.0	Stephen King's The Shining and that I had less than fond feelings for the movie and
1:59.4	when I re-encount heard both of them for this I like first was like yeah I don't like this movie
2:04.8	because specifically because it took a book that to me is such an incredibly rich exploration of
2:12.8	like how do you become abusive like how does someone who doesn't want to be abusive be that anyway
