Description

It’s time to check in at the Overlook Hotel.

This week on Framed, we’re pulling apart Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining — how it works, why it still crawls under your skin, and what Shelley Duvall actually went through on set. Joel confesses to watching it very high at 14 (and never quite recovering), Steph digs into Kubrick’s obsessive directing, and together they unpack the movie’s eerie logic, impossible corridors, and that final photo everyone argues about.


Along the way we talk: liminal horror, Room 237 theories, Nicholson’s unhinged grin, and how The Shining showed that horror can be well lit.


Recommendations

Steph: Netflix’s 2-part Charlie Sheen documentary - aka Charlie Sheen

Joel: Comfort-TV rewatch — The Simpsons (also cat-approved background viewing).
