Redrum. Those twins. That book. In 1980, "The Shining" put visuals in the minds of moviegoers we'd not soon forget. Stanley Kubrick's horror classic made "Here's Johnny" more famous than Ed McMahon did. And Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall and Danny Lloyd contributed individual performances as memorable as the film. But now, over forty years later, is re-checking into the Overlook Hotel a good idea? Were we as fooled by the film's sick charms as Jack was by Room 237? And why can't Wendy swing a baseball bat? The Old Roommates give this Stephen King-based saga a re-watch through a middle-aged lens. Listen to this.
