It Pod to Be You

Hello, romantics! It's the long-awaited grand finale of the Bad Romance miniseries. Manish (@vertigay314) welcomes guest Zaki Hassan (@zakiscorner) for Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece The Shining! Featuring one the most toxic marriages in Hollywood, the film has been interpeted and reinterpreted. But it's a horror classic for a reason. Starring Shelley Duvall and Jack Nicholson, The Shining is reflects how much modern horror has changed and how marriages can crumble with or without ghosts.
