The Stephen King Adaption Project- Halloween special - ‘The Shining: Extended Cut’ commentary

Happy Halloween!

Or IS it? Well, it kind of depends on which member of the Torrance family you are, because if you’re Jack then you’re having an absolutely wicked time. You might say that you were having the time of your life. However, if you’re Wendy or Danny - well…not so much!

But one thing we *can* be certain of is that ALL OF WHINE AND SPACE are having an amazo time, as we sit down for a lovely Halloween treat and look back at a seminal work of horror - Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 adaptation of Stephen King’s ’The Shining’! Everyone can agree it’s an iconic addition to the horror genre, but does it deserve its esteemed reputation? Does it lose points for its loose interpretation of the source material, or does it wisely jettison excess baggage to strip a concept down to its terrifying core?

So, join us as we pedal around on our Big Wheel’s, lose our shit in our bathrobes and generally scream incoherently into the night!

‘Doctor Strange’ review

It’s halloween, so things are bound to get a little spooky, a little peculiar, a little…strange? Hell, things are going to get a LOT strange - STEVEN STRANGE, that is!

On this week’s podcast, we’re bringing together one slack jawed idiot who’ll accept anything Marvel feeds him, and one joyless, slow witted cynic who thinks he’s somehow better than the intensely loved genre he’s reviewing! The Marvel Cinematic Universe is finally opening up a portal into a world of true peculiarity, of magicks, mystics and medics - but will WHINECAST go along for the ride? There’s only one way to find out, so grab your Portal Opening Brass Duck Whistle and follow us into a whole new realm!

'Captain America - Civil War’ commentary

It is a period of civil war.

Or IS it? It looks like our beloved collection of Avengers are having one of those unfortunate misunderstandings, like when you say you’re going to meet your friend at Curry’s, but instead they go to Dixon’s by mistake. And just like in that scenario, things then inevitably escalate to full blown trading of blows.

But who’s going to get thoroughly blown in this oncoming storm? Will it be Steve Rogers, the titular hero of the film - or devilish upstart Tony Stark, who’s snuck along with all of his mates to troll Chris Evans by trying to steal his own film out from under him? There’s only one way to find out, and much like with Harry Hill, it’s with unrelenting violence.

So, break into a Serbian military facility, root around in the back room for a TV and VHS player, and grab Mission Report December 16th 1991 - it’s time to go to war!

‘Ant-Man’ commentary

DOES size matter?

That’s what WHINECAST is going to try and find out, as we take a long overdue look back at Marvel’s ‘Ant-Man’, the undisputed epic finale of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s second phase, - way bigger, bolder and more ambitious than ‘Age of Ultron', for realsies.

But with one half of the WHINECAST team adoring the film and the other feeling passionate ambivalence towards it, are we heading towards a brutal and ugly bruise up, one that leaves the founding friendship of the podcast in tattered, unrepairable shreds?

The answer, is no.
