Description

This week on The Cover, we’re cracking open the cell door on one of the most beloved films of all time — The Shawshank Redemption. We’ll talk about the surprising origins of the story, how a short Stephen King novella became a cinematic masterpiece, and why this slow-burn prison drama continues to top “greatest movie” lists decades later.

From Andy Dufresne’s quiet resilience to Red’s unforgettable narration, we’ll explore the themes of friendship, injustice, and the stubborn endurance of hope. Plus, we’ll dig into behind-the-scenes facts — from casting almost-misses to the truth about that famous escape.

Whether you’ve seen it a hundred times or you’re just discovering it, this is a trip to Shawshank you won’t want to miss.
