“The episode title that I've got working is called The Real Dr. Sleep, which is the title entirely because I'm pretty sure Stephen King wrote a novel called Dr. Sleep. I don't know what it's about. I've certainly never read it.”
“and then a movie version of Dr. Sleep, which is Stephen King's sequel to The Shining, and which I know you have great affection for, as do I.”
