On this episode, Ella and Simon discuss one of the biggest artistic figures of the last century: Stephen King. First, there's much talk about two of the most recent--and not very successful--Stephen King Adaptations (The Monkey and The Life of Chuck), Stephen King's varied degree of involvement in movie adaptations of his works, his interesting filmic taste, and Ella and Simon's personal history with Stephen King, horror movies, and what it's like trying to see R-rated movies in theaters when you're under 17 years old. Finally, a lengthy discussion is held on The Shawshank Redemption (Ella's pick) and The Shining (Simon's pick).
