We welcome our first sibling to the podcast, Lesley Wallace, to talk about The Shawshank Redemption (1994)! Despite the near constant airing on TNT, Lesley had never managed to watch this, well, except the ending. But it still managed to hold a few surprises, including some of the bushiest eyebrows in cinema. So get busy living, get busy dying, or get busy listening to this episode (the third one sounds the easiest to me)! Clarifications: Here’s that Vanity Fair article I talk about in the episode. Lots of good stuff in there! In fact, most of my facts were referenced from here, so the show notes are going to be a bit light today… Apparently, most people don’t quite know the breadth of Stephen King’s literary career, and there’s an anecdote about a run in with a lady in this interview by Neil Gaiman which makes it worth the read by itself. Here’s a clip from the unfortunately named Cougar Town where you can get “the full Shawshank experience”. And we’ll end with Will Forte making things awkward, which he excels at. Movies We Reference: Working Girl (1988) Clueless (1995) The Big Sick (2017) Blade Runner 2049 (2017) Cool Hand Luke (1967) The post Episode 17 – The Shawshank Redemption appeared first on Cinematic Respect.
