Episode #12: Doctor Sleep (2019): Steam Only For Our Crow Daddy

November 17, 2019 • Caitlin Duffy & Matthew Au • Episode 12

Come play with us, Danny. For ever and ever...

In this, our twelfth episode, Matt and Caitlin discuss Mike Flanagan's Doctor Sleep! We delight over the silly name (Rose the Hat, Crow Daddy, etc...), complain that a ghostly Overlook party-goer wasn't excited enough about the blood party, dig Jacob Tremblay's performance, delve into the various ways Mike Flanagan connected his film with Kubrick's The Shining, and explain why this movie should've been a mini-series!

We also messed up and recorded the first six minutes or so with the microphone backwards. Whoops. I think we may have been doing some astral projection with the Knot or something... If you hate bad sound quality, skip ahead to about six minutes in.

Our Doctor Sleep beer was Magic Hat's #9, because... you know... Rose's hat!
