"The Shining" (with Jesi Bender)
About this episode
The episode discusses the film adaptation of Stephen King's The Shining with guest Jesi Bender.
The first Framed & Bound episode of 2025 is, appropriately enough, about one of the wintriest movies ever made. This time out, Tobias Carroll and guest Jesi Bender discussed the 1980 film The Shining, an adaptation of Stephen King's novel of the same name. It may be the sole cinematic podcast in which you'll hear both The Killing of a Sacred Deer and Top Gun: Maverick invoked. Also discussed this episode: Elizabeth Hardwick's cameo appearance, when bad CGI happens to good ideas, the perennial appeal of Stephen King, the role of room decor in this film, and whether a prequel to this would be a good idea. Jesi Bender's latest book is Dangerous Women . This time out, we mentioned past episodes focusing on Wolf and Bag of Bones . Next up: another discussion of a literary Stephen King adaptation. Which one? Well, you'll have to listen in to find out. Our logo is by Mack V .
