Happy Halloween! And Happy birthday to us, we're two!
We love to be consistently inconsistent and keep you on your toes - who knows when the next episode might be released?! But we are doing our best to keep them coming.
This week we decided to tackle the beast that is Stanley Kubrick's polarizing ghost story, "The Shining."
Your whorror-hosts discovered pretty quickly that they actually watched different versions: Jenny watched the shorter European version, and Kaitlin watched the longer US cut (appropriately).
There's a lot going on as they compare versions, bring back the summary haiku, play "Rate the Bush," Jenny sings the soundtrack, Kaitlin gets really into the ATMOSPHERE, and we discuss whether or not Jack Nicholson has acting range, or is he just relying on those eyebrows??

It's fruit cocktail for weeks over here at the Overlook Hotel so come and play with us, forever...and ever.... and ever.

Spoilers from 17.25
