About this episode
We take a close look at The Shining — both the Stephen King classic and the Stanley Kubrick classic — and discuss Jack Torrance's multiple shortcomings in the fatherhood department. We made a playlist to accompany this episode! It's comprised of songs that come to mind when we all think about this movie. Why Are Dads is a show in which hosts Sarah Marshall and Alex Steed attempt to understand what the hell it means to be the grown children of dads and other dad-like figures. And, as they do with all difficult subject matter, they do so by looking through a pop culture lens. You can find us on Twitter , Instagram and Patreon .
