About

In this episode, the SSN Crew indulges in two big discussions about two very different films celebrating anniversaries with new productions. First up, we discuss Stephen King's classic horror novel "The Shining," the subject of a classic film celebrating its 40th anniversary with a sequel, "Doctor Sleep." Can this new entry following an adult Dann Torrence mentoring a Black teenage girl live up to the legacy of the Stanley Kubrick classic? Then, we dive back in time again - and under the sea - to explore the dawn of the Disney Renaissance with the making of "The Little Mermaid." That film celebrated its 30th anniversary with a special ABC-TV screening of the animated musical featuring live-on-stage performances of its songs. How'd that work out for them? All this, plus a follow-up review of "Bigger" on BET+, reviews of "The Good Liar", HBO's "Watchmen", a discussion of what Paramount can/will do now that "Terminator: Dark Fate" and "Gemini Man" have flopped, and more - including a preview of a potential spin-off show, "Say Something Sexy!"
