83. Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption (1982) by Stephen King
from A Deadman's Books
When Andy Dufresne is wrongly convicted for the double murder of his wife and her lover, he spends the next three decades of his life in The Shank methodically building up the prison library, maintaining a solo cell, and hammering a hole behind a poster for his escape to a dream that awaits him. We're asking the tough questions: Can anyone play it as cool as Andy Dufresne? Does life and literature always offer us true justice? Why do we as an audience receive film different than literature? How do you say obtuse in German? Jason Crockett joins us as we ask these and more on today's episode.Thanks for listening!Theme song for A Deadman's Books: Surfing! by automaticbananasResources for today's episode:Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King#booktube #booktok #bookstagram #ReadersofYouTube #Bookish #CurrentlyReading #BookCommunity #BookRecommendations #BookReview #BookLovers #Lit #Literature #StephenKing #king #TheShank #Shawshank Hosted on Acast.
