Doctor Sleep Awards Show - The Shining 2: An Even Shinier Shining - Ep 255

We review Doctor Sleep as a movie event! If you’ve seen it, great. If not, we urge to do so by the end of our non-spoiler section. But in either case, enjoy our movie event awards show for the sequel to the Shining as we make up all kinds of fake awards to give this movie.

Yes, there is still a non-spoiler section followed by spoilers, and there’s a dance music interlude to warn you. Yes, we still go through many of the same beats, bests, and worsts. But in essence, a movie event episode consists of this academy of two making up awards. For Doctor Sleep, we certainly came up with some weird ones. So yes, that non-spoiler section deals with the cast & crew, the premise of the plot, and general reviews of the production values, performances, and script. Then in spoilers, we go over all our best & worst scenes after discussing some of the major plotlines. Did Doctor Sleep spark our nostalghia for The Shining? For Stephen King novels? Did Rose The Hat become an iconic villain deserving of her own Halloween costume? Was it worthy of a 2 and a half hour runtime? Do we dare suggest enhancements to the plot? Which cast members should vie for future Oscars, and which are the most memorable scenes? - We discuss these questions and many more in this review. Plus, we make up a ton of weird ass awards along the way. If you enjoyed this episode, then make sure you click on our “Playlists” tab on Soundcloud.
