Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2468814/fan_mail/new] Are pink and gold your favorite colors? Would you say that French fries and ketchup is your favorite food? How'd you like some ice cream, Doc? If the answer to these questions is yes, then you've come to the right place. Liz M., my sister-in-law, with whom for years I've been playing a Shining quote game every chance we get, joins me to talk about the 1980 Stanley Kubrick-directed classic, as well as the largely-forgotten Stephen King-penned TV miniseries remake from 1997. Just don't go into room 237 or else Grady will have to ... correct you.
