About this episode
This week on we're checking into the isolated, snow-bound Overlook Hotel for Stanley Kubrick's psychological horror masterpiece, The Shining! We'll talk about Jack Torrance's slow descent into madness, the terrifying stillness of the empty halls, the iconic tracking shots, and the enduring terror of the twin girls. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy... but it makes for an unforgettable film!
To accompany our stay in room 237, we're mixing up the infamous Redrum Punch, a cocktail famously served at the actual inspiration for the Overlook, The Stanley Hotel in Colorado! This visually striking, blood-red punch features a dangerous blend of Dark and Light Rums, balanced by the tart sweetness of Cranberry and Citrus Juices, and often finished with a tropical touch of Pineapple. It's a surprisingly delicious drink that perfectly captures the chilling atmosphere of the Overlook.
So, grab your biggest glass, stay clear of the ballrooms, and get ready to raise a toast to The Shining!
