About this listen

Welcome back to His and Hers Gen X Podcast! This week, Chad and Cristina revisit Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 horror/mindbender classic: The Shining.


We talk about:

🪓 Jack’s descent into madness

👻 Kubrick’s genius (and cruelty) behind the camera

🎹 The eerie sound design that makes the Overlook Hotel come alive

🧒 Danny’s psychic powers and those unforgettable twins

💀 The real-life hotel that inspired Stephen King’s story


We also dive into how this movie feels through Gen X eyes: slow-burn tension; analog horror; and why practical effects still hit harder than AI anything.


🎧 Available wherever you get podcasts: Spotify, Apple, Overcast, and more.
