Doctor Sleep with Coop
Episode 206, Nov 22, 2023, 09:00 AM
Legendary artist Coop (aka Chris Cooper), the man behind iconic rock posters for Nirvana, White Zombie, Soundgarden, and The Foo Fighters, joins The Kingcast boys for a look into Mike Flanagan's adaptation of Doctor Sleep. Why does this adaptation work so well when it takes some giant liberties with the source material? And how come Rebecca Ferguson can pull off that Stevie Nicks look?!? Kids in danger, changes from the book, and the sad state of social media all come up in this wide-ranging and very fun chat.
In his sequel to The Shining, Stephen King focuses on a grown up Danny Torrance who is tempted to make the same mistakes his father did, but ultimately overcomes the challenges his father could not. Mike Flanagan's adaptation marries the Stanley Kubrick film and the Stephen King text in a way that miraculously honors both.
