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! It's comprised of songs that come to mind when we all think about this movie.
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 producer and music director Carolyn Kendrick's music here. She's also on Twitter.
Fresh Lesh produces the beats for our episodes.
