Jeff O'NealHOST
Uh, Gilbert, you had something else you wanted to throw in there.
Gilbert CruzGUEST
I did want to mention, I briefly alluded to it, but if you are interested after, if listeners are interested after reading this book and they want more King, Doctor Sleep, again, the sequel, is just a fascinating sort of continuation of the story.
Gilbert CruzGUEST
Even more interesting is the film version of it, in which the director, Mike Flanagan, who again has done a bunch of King adaptations, had to sort of square the circle between these two things that you mentioned, Jeff.
Gilbert CruzGUEST
At the end of the movie version, the Shining is still standing.
NeilHOST
But no, it is a movie because I think he appears in another Stephen King book, I think.
KenHOST
In Doctor Sleep? Yeah, because he's...
KenHOST
But he's like being seen...
KenHOST
In Doctor Sleep, I think he's being seen as a ghost or
NeilHOST
something.
NeilHOST
I think he's...
Justin ShadyGUEST
Danny's nickname is Doc.
NeilHOST
Hmm.
DixonHOST
Flanagan did the story and he had a co-screenwriter with Hosin Amini.
DixonHOST
And like you said, Flanagan is known for Haunting on the Hill House, Midnight Mass, Doctor Sleep, which I watched for the first time recently.
DixonHOST
It's very good.
DixonHOST
Really good.
Tyler BranchHOST
And I mean, I don't think they've said that outright, but I don't think you would say the word shine in a different Stephen King story if you weren't referencing the shine, the shining, which is like the power that little boy Danny has in the shining.
Tyler BranchHOST
And then in Doctor Sleep, if you haven't seen Doctor Sleep, we're not going to spoil it or anything.
Tyler BranchHOST
But it is...
Tyler BranchHOST
That becomes...
Tyler BranchHOST
Like Mike Flanagan does in a lot of his stuff, he kind of explains a lot more lore.
Tyler BranchHOST
He gives you big lore drops.
Tyler BranchHOST
So there's a lot explained in the movie Doctor Sleep, which I think came out in 2019 or something.
Tyler BranchHOST
But it basically kind of explains these powers that the little boy in The Shining had and like more people who have these powers.
Selena OteroHOST
But we do learn in Dr.
Selena OteroHOST
Sleep that the shine is real freaking old in this country.
Selena OteroHOST
Yeah.
Joe OteroHOST
And then also, too, so the chick that we don't know, the cigarette-smoking man, basically, in the show.
6 MINS LATER
Joe OteroHOST
Rose, that's her name.
Joe OteroHOST
Rose the Hat.
Joe OteroHOST
The Hat Lady from Doctor Sleep.
Joe OteroHOST
What a good book.
Christian RuvalcabaHOST
Because they do talk about the S word.
Christian RuvalcabaHOST
I think they even mention this in Doctor Sleep, which I really, really loved.
Christian RuvalcabaHOST
Obviously, this has nothing to do with Carrie.
Christian RuvalcabaHOST
Y'all
Christian RuvalcabaHOST
You're saying we got to go where now? Yeah, yeah.
Christian RuvalcabaHOST
No, I like this.
Christian RuvalcabaHOST
I think it's this idea in Doctor Sleep where it's either Danny or the girl.
Christian RuvalcabaHOST
They talk about how everybody has a little bit of shine.
Lawrence WareHOST
I don't know what is up with Flanagan.
Lawrence WareHOST
and wanting to do so much because this is like his fourth stephen king thing so gerald's game this doctor sleep there's another thing that i'm missing uh
Mark LinsenmayerHOST
the life of chuck which i just watched last night i will yeah i will save that for the after talk because i have thoughts but
Lawrence WareHOST
but i need to watch that actually so he's clearly in that
Chris CollinsHOST
All of his other stuff is just based on Stephen King most of the time.
Chris CollinsHOST
He did Doctor Sleep, right?
Alex WilshinHOST
Yeah, he did
Chris CollinsHOST
Doctor
DustinHOST
But everybody's shining is different.
DustinHOST
I mean, you learn that in Doctor Sleep.
DustinHOST
The Dark
Big DHOST
Towers, too, a lot.
7 MINS LATER
AnnaHOST
Hat.
DustinHOST
Rose the Hat? Okay.
DustinHOST
Man, my biggest gripe with Doctor Sleep is it was too superhero-y.
DustinHOST
The book isn't like that either.
Juan Carlos BagnellHOST
Every fade in The Shining actually accomplishes some kind of tone.
Juan Carlos BagnellHOST
But there are these long fades in Doctor Sleep, and it's just one scene to the next.
Juan Carlos BagnellHOST
It's just kind of a transition, and I'm looking for moments where I'm looking for her face is fading out here and doesn't line up with something that's coming in there, and no.
Juan Carlos BagnellHOST
So I don't feel it has that same kind of feel.
