‘Doctor Sleep’ with Molly Henery (feat. Molly Henery )
Episode 5
Heeeeere’s Danny! On the penultimate episode of our “Superior Sequels” kick, horror writer Molly Henery nominates “Doctor Sleep,” the 2019 sequel to “The Shining.”
A bold take? Perhaps! But Stephen King certainly agrees, and Molly goes deep on the film’s sweeping character development as now-adult Danny Torrance (Ewan McGregor) faces down a vampire cult and the specter of the Overlook Hotel. We also dive into director Mike Flanagan’s adaptation skills, speculate about 300-year-old tophats, and expand a moon-landing conspiracy theory.
Steam or shine, The Kick continues. Listen here. Oh, and don’t miss the latest installments of Molly’s Uterus Horror column.

Movie Reviews & Reappraisals
Be Reel is a movie reviewing & reappraising podcast hosted by Chance Solem-Pfeifer and Noah Ballard.
Each time out, we select three movies based around a genre and call up guests ranging from submarine captains to Oscar winners. Then, we rate the movies, weighing both technical quality and entertainment.
Noah and Chance are old friends who mostly respect each other’s opinions. Even though Chance is a fool and a traitor. Find their show presented at ThePlaylist.Net and follow them on Twitter for the latest on Noah’s literary agenting and Chance’s work in the Portland arts scene.
