The questions 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:37.800 asked if movies have women in them, are all their 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:41.360 discussions just boyfriends and husbands or do they have individualism 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:46.080 the patriarchy zef invest start changing it with the beck 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:50.040 del Cast. Hello and welcome to the becktel Cast. My 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:58.040 name is Caitlin Dronte who It's love. That's my very 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:03.040 clever way of people pay me to do this. Okay, 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:08.200 my name is Jamie Loftus. Oh sorry, and this is 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.640 the Bectel Cast podcast about women in movies. That's right. Yes, 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.680 we used the Bechtel Test as a jumping off point, 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:21.800 which is a media metric created by cartoonists out also 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:26.799 called the Bechtel Wall List Test. Scary. It is very 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.800 scary because what it is. It's a media metric that 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:35.200 requires that two female identifying characters with names talk to 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:43.760 each other about something other than go who is a man? Oh? Man? 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:48.720 This is electric? Feel my blood at the surface of 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:54.360 my skin. Can we demo the test? Yeah, let's do it, Hey, Jamie, 0:02:55.200 --> 0:03:02.000 All work and no play makes Caitlin a dull woman. 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.120 I'm gonna hit you with the bat. It's violent, but 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:13.000 it passes unlike well, actually, can we say that unlike today? 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.840 But if someone was just like, oh, they spoiled it 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.160 at the beginning, that's my favorite criticism of our podcast. 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:20.880 We're like, oh, they said it at the beginning, So 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.079 why would I keep fucking listening. I'm like, I guess 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.880 you're just not the demo? Wait have people had that criticism? 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.760 I read all the iTunes reviews.

Please. But yeah, we're talking about the shining 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:50.000 today and we have an incredible guest. We certainly do. 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.560 She is a comedian, she's hilarious. We love her. She's 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.880 about to move to New York City. Ever heard it? 0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:59.280 So we had to get her on before she moves 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.040 New York. Let's here. He's welcome her with open arms. 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:11.400 It's Corey Johnson, welcome here. I'm here, red Rum, red Rum, 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:15.240 It's red round season. It's no, it's not. Don't don't 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:20.040 read round each other. Okay, so we're talking about the 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:26.600 Shining Stanley Krubrick. Yes, Corey, what is your history relationship 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.960 with the movie? Have you read the book? Read the 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:34.760 book so I could understand the movie in general and 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.400 just compare them. I like the book better but than Also, 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:43.720 the cinematography of the movie is really amazing, vibrant, captivating, 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.400 and it's just you said, nineteen eighty. I don't know 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.960 how he still looks Jack nicholsonce it looks so old? 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.240 Am I talking about the wrong movie? No, it's like 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.479 I was. I was thinking the same thing. I was 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.520 just like, how old is he in this movie? And 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.839 he's like in his forty looks like but he looks 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.560 like hell. Look but maybe that just means he's doing 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:06.320 a good job job. Yeah. I don't think that was 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.480 to a compliment. She looks like hell. But you know, Jacky, 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.600 Jack's going to hear this and he's going to be livid. 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.640 So Jack has and I mean to tell you this 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:19.360 that Jack contributes to our Patreon and it really gives 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.920 that five dollars, so we really need it. Times are tough. O. 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.200 My bad, didn't know. I didn't get the Sorry Jack, 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:30.160 Sorry Jack, Sorry Jack. I'm sorry Jack. There's actually this 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.920 is a bit of a tangent at the beginning. Cancel me, 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.680 but friend of the pod, Mary Hulihan just wrote a 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.720 very funny show that people should see if they're in 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.560 the area. She's New York based, but it's called Me 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.039 and Jack and it's this fictional account of how she 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:47.000 dated Jack Nicholson. But Jack Nicholson is too busy playing 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:52.680 is PS four to pay attention. It's really funny, all right, Yeah, honestly, 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.720 that sounds good. It's very Jamie asked, that's something up 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.760 Jamie's alley, and that's really good. The grin on Jamie's 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:05.160 face right now, I cannot explain. I'm still laughing filing. Okay, 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.960 So you read the book in the movie a couple 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:11.080 of times. I like the movie. I don't know what 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.560 else to say. Shelley Duval's teeth um will be licked 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:19.480 by me one day. She's alive, right, very cool. I 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:24.159 tweeted about it so sad to say it. That's the rule. 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.360 What's your history with that kid? I have not read 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.800 the book, which makes me nervous to talk about this movie, 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.520 in particular because I feel like I don't know Stephen King. 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:38.719 Heads out there are like Stephen King. And then when 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:43.039 we do a movie adapted from a book and you 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:47.000 know every What I'm trying to say is, listeners, remember 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.120 that we're not a book podcast. We're not an adaptation podcast. 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.640 I still am suffering from whiplash from Lord of the 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.839 Rings over a year ago, where I'm just like, listen, 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.680 it's a free podcast, take it or leave it, Okay, Relax. 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.479 So I have not read the book. I have seen 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:04.880 the movie a fair number of times I would say 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:09.520 probably like six or seven times throughout my life. And 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:13.760 I like it. I like it. I did not. I 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.360 did not see that coming. I did not mean to 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:20.800 say it like that, embarrassed, but I do enjoy to 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:24.280 the movie. You have not pronounced anything correctly. The day 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.840 Pin Milan, I was getting so nervous because we have 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:38.120 to say you and McGregor seriber. I'm sure I pulled 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:45.080 out that last one. I want, Well, clearly, I'm up. No, 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.960 it's adorable, but you're a fan of the movie, yes, okay. 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.760 I saw this movie on my first day of college. 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.280 I had like a cool college roommate who was like, 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.040 there's a little movie theater I know about in the 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.280 corner of Boston. And I was like, how, like we 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.640 just out here, But she just had that like cool 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.280 person instinct, and she found a screening of The Shining 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.800 and I went. And I went to college with no 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:14.120 knowledge of like cinema per se. I've seen a lot 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:18.760 of movies, but I hadn't seen much cinema. Um, and 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.040 I really liked it, and it was like it became 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.000 one of my faiths for a little while. I've like 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:29.640 seen the documentaries and then Room two three seven. I 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.199 had to stop because it made me so furious. It 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.040 was yeah, and then and then uh and then In 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:39.720 recent years, I have like I learned more about Stanley Kubrick. 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.120 Don't ask me, I already made fun of you and 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.640 I don't even notice I, you know, dragged me. But 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:48.839 I've learned more about him. I've watched documentaries about him specifically, 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.360 I've watched him of his older stuff and now I'm 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.840 just like, it's a beautiful movie, but I don't love it. Sure, Yeah, 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:58.440 let's dive into the recap. Shallby Yes, you can interject 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:02.120 in the recap and them's the rules absolutely all right. 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:07.640 So Jack Torrence played by Jack Nicholson, he gets a 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:12.800 job looking after this huge hotel, the Overlook Hotel, which 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:18.160 is nestled into the rocky mountains, and he needs to 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:21.160 look after it over the winter when they close because 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:26.359 of the harsh weather. Right because and this is in Colorado, 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.000 r Colorado. Yeah, I had no idea. Who was Thank god, 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:34.439 it's the rare Stephen King that doesn't take place in Maine, right, interesting, 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:39.520 and it's very secluded, it's very isolated. The opening sequence, 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:41.760 they're driving this might not be funny in anyone but me. 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.400 They're driving through the mountains to get there or whatever. 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.160 And the YouTube video that they used to have back 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.360 in the day where the cars driving and then they 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:55.080 scare you. You know, I'm talking about literally infamous. It 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:56.680 looks just like that, and I was like, do I 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.480 turn it off? I was really stoned, but it was like, 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:00.760 do I turn it off? I didn't realize until i'd 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.240 seen the shining like three times that that's the clip 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:08.800 that you're it's like, watch the car. I'm pretty sure 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:13.120 it is, or it's like a very similar car, and 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:15.959 then the devil comes out and it's like, so someone 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:21.480 like edited in like a scary thing Halloween energy. Now 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.520 that you're saying it, it might be an as on commercial. 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.280 Really think it's like a Red Knee sun Ultimate, But 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.040 it's fine. I think we can consider this relevant discussion. Yes, 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.640 I think so. So. The manager of the Overlook Hotel 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:37.319 tells Jack about this winter caretaker from a few years ago, 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.000 and he's like, just so you know, he did acts 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:46.000 murder his wife and two young daughters. But Jack is like, so, 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.960 don't worry that won't happen to me, because I love 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:51.800 being alone, he says. He's like, no, I got this. 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:57.040 I like being this alone. Yeah. Yeah, because he's going 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.800 to be there working on a writing project. That's what 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.280 tempts him about taking this job where he's going to 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.440 be in isolation, but he will be there with his family, 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:12.920 um his wife and his wife Wendy and Yell and 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:17.880 their young son Danny also named Danny. Lloyd plays Danny, 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:22.720 so really one to ones with the character names. Although 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:28.160 Mr Hallerand's name is not Scatman Cruthers, which is it, 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.080 Which is a shame. It should Karacter should just be 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.720 called scat Man Cruthers. Yeah, why make it easier for 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:35.679 Jack and Danny and the rest of the cast has 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:38.320 to remember a different name. It's almost like they have 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:45.240 to act upsetting. So the thing about Danny is that 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:52.280 he's got this kind of like imaginary friend question mark Tony. 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:58.000 I thought maybe Tony Shalhub. Oh, that'd be fun that 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.840 Tony going to a little therapy, says inside of Danny's mouth, 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.600 it's Tony Bennett. And that's canonically the Sopranos takes place 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:09.720 inside of Danny Tarnth's mouth. That's what happens at the end. 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.719 They pull out, like at the end of Ben and 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.240 Black when they just like when into the world is 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.440 the galaxy is just like a marble. It's the same 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:19.959 they do. Don't stop believing, and then it cuts to black. 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:28.160 But if you keep watching, it zooms out's mouth. So 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:32.760 he's got this person Tony who lives in his finger 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:36.440 or his mouth, but he talks to his finger. But 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:41.120 it all also might be this like kind of clairvoyant possession, 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.760 which we'll learn about a little later on. So the 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:47.120 family arrives at the hotel and they're shown around. Mr 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:51.079 Halleran A. K. Scammon Cruther's shows him some stuff and 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:55.880 then creepy ship starts happening right away, like Danny sees 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:59.160 the ghost of these two little girls. Danny also has 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:04.520 this psyche connection with Mr Hallowran and he is like, hey, Danny, 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.200 we have this connection. I also had it with my grandmother. 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:11.040 She called it The Shining and we're like, hey, that's 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:13.360 the name of the movie. You're like, and that's why 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.720 they call it that. And when you're get excited, then 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:18.560 you're like, I'm in here, I'm I'm in and then 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.000 it kind of never comes back, like the word name 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.840 checking the way early. And I do like that actually, 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:25.559 because when it's towards the end of the movie, like 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.400 they try to make money, you're going to say, and 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:33.160 that's one million ways to die? Does that happen in 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:38.960 that movie? No? No? If that was the last line 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:51.920 of the movie. Loose Day Today. Okay, So Danny and 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:55.839 Mr Hallyrand have this whole conversation about Tony and how 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:59.319 he shows Danny things and how the overlook hotel is 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:03.280 messed up and bad things happened there, and then Danny 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:07.800 asks about Room two thirty seven and Mr Halloran's like, 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:12.120 nothing happened there, everything's fine, and don't go in that room. 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.679 So a month passes and the family has settled in. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:20.640 Jack is trying to figure out what to write about relatable, 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:25.280 and then he's doing a packet. He's literally he's applying 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.600 to court him and he's like, oh my god, I 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:33.640 can't think of any web segments that it's hard. Monologue 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:41.400 jokes are hard. His niche humor you. So then Jack 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.880 also seems a bit stir crazy because he's like flinging 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:49.800 a tennis ball against the walls so hard, so so hard, 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.720 so loud, and like, I don't have it was stressing 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.640 me out. That was like every single time they armed 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:57.240 power that man has anyway, just in observation, it comes 0:14:57.280 --> 0:15:00.520 back with that. Yeah, they're sitting it out up. Yeah. 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:04.800 And then there's this enormous hedge maze that Wendy and 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.360 Danny walk through for fun, you know, and we're like, oh, 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:13.440 they're setting it up, planting payoff baby. Then Danny rides 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.160 around on his big wheel through the hotel and then 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:18.720 he rides past Room two three seven, and he's like, 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:23.480 hikes scary, but then he rides away and it's a coward. 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:32.400 He's a coward. Is at this point when Jack starts 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:38.200 being especially emotionally abusive and his mental state is starting 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:42.120 to unravel. Really the second people leave, he drops the 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:46.800 act and becomes an abuser. Yes, we'll talk all about it. 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:50.520 It starts to snow outside. The phone lines go down, 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.880 so Wendy radios the I think it's like the Parks 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:58.480 department nearby or something. Yeah, some of some like vague, 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:03.680 unhelpful and identity and they're like, yeah, the phone lines 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.440 are going to be down to spring. So then Danny 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:10.720 sees the ghost twins again and they're like, can't play 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:15.560 with us, Danny, forever and ever and ever, and then 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.360 all that poor little Katy looks so scary. He's so 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:21.040 scary because he also has sees a vision of them 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:25.360 having been as murdered and the halls are all bloody 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:29.480 and he freaks out, understandably so, and Jack is getting 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:35.080 even creepier and more unhinged. He tells Wendy about a 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:38.680 Nightmary had where he killed her and Danny and chopped 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:43.480 them up into little bits. Then Wendy notices some bruises 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:47.240 on Danny's neck and she thinks that Jack hurt their son, 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:51.680 and Jack is like, I don't know, right, And then 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:54.640 at this point we already know that he's like hit 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:58.920 Danny in the past, because he goes to the Gold 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:01.680 Room to blow off some steam, because it's like this 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.000 lounge e bar area, and then all of a sudden 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.960 there's a bartender there, and there's also a whole party 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:12.000 going on that's a little later, but there, and Jack 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.080 tells this bartender, Lloyd, about this one time when he 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:20.200 lost his temper and accidentally hurt Danny a few years ago. 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:24.480 Jack Nicholson is great in that scene. It is so scary. Yes, 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:31.280 his performance overall is quite stunning. I'll say, wow, what 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.320 can I say? He's our biggest fan. He loves us. 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.560 It's true. He gives us five dollars every month, sixty annually. 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:43.119 So Wendy comes running in frantically to the room and 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:47.199 apparently there's this lady in one of the rooms who 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:51.040 tried to strangle Danny. Jack's like, what room is it? 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.040 And then he goes into it and guess what it's 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:58.080 room to thirty seven and there is a young naked woman, 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.520 so he naturally starts to make out with her. Because 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.919 you're not like confused or why is she here? How 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.520 did she get here? You go, oh, she's naked, and 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:11.760 every young naked woman wants to make out with Jack Nicholson. 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:17.359 But then as they're making out, she turns into like 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:22.600 a rotting zombie lady, as also happened as well. Yeah, 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.200 I mean well, yeah, older women have to be associated 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:34.440 with body horror, just like Justasha. So Jack freaks out, 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.240 but when he goes back to tell Wendy about it, 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.040 he's like, I didn't see anything, not a goddamn thing, 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:45.239 and she believes and she well, she's like, how did 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:48.200 this happen? What about Danny's bruises? And Jack's like I 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:53.119 think He's like, I think Danny did it to himself. 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:59.240 And Wendy is freaking out and she's growing increasingly concerned 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:02.680 about the safety of her and her son and she 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:05.400 wants to get Danny out of there. And Jack does 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:08.200 not like this idea, and he yells at her and 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:11.080 he storms out, and then this is when Jack goes 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:13.159 back to the banquet hall and it's not full of 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:18.400 people who are like ghosts question Mark from the nineties, right, 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.639 and one of them is Mr Grady. He was the 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:27.359 caretaker who acts murdered his family. And Grady's like, no, 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:31.320 that's not me, Mr Torrence, You're the caretaker. By the way, 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:34.600 your son is being meddlesome and like you should put 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:39.040 him and your wife in their place. Meanwhile, Danny is 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:44.040 trying to telepathically communicate with Scatman brothers to get help, 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:49.200 and Mr Hallerand is like trying to reach the hotel 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:53.720 by phone but he can't get through. Meanwhile, Jack dismantles 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:58.520 the radio and then Mr Hallyerrand flies across the country 0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:01.360 to try to get to the um, but the snowstorm 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:07.240 keeps like dumping down snow everywhere. Mr Hollern is the 0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:13.080 realist for almost no read like the shining things like 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:18.040 well that kid, he knows the sordid history he was in, 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:22.160 like Miami, yeah he was in Florida, goes a long way, yeah, 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:25.680 spends all that money on a plane ticket. Just a 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:34.119 good man, is uh So. Then um, Wendy finds the 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:37.720 manuscript that Jack has been working on all this time, 0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:42.960 and it's famously pages and pages of all work and 0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:46.080 no play makes Jack a doll boy. It's a cordon packet. 0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:50.359 That's my cord back the corn and packet I turned in. 0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:59.680 You know what, I'm staffed. Congratulations, I got it. He 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:08.440 I got wow. Congratulations. Um. So, then Jack approaches her 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:13.560 as she's like looking at his incredible comedy writing, and 0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:18.200 at this point he is completely unhinged and he's screaming 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:20.960 at her. She's terrified of him. She's swinging a baseball bat, 0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:24.560 she's defending herself. Good. She manages to hit him on 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:28.720 the head, and then she drags his unconscious body to 0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:30.720 the kitchen and then locks him up in like this 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:34.040 pantry storage room. I liked how obvious it was that 0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:37.560 they used to stunt Jack because they cut all the 0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:40.520 way away like Jack. Jack Nicholson was like, I'm not 0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:44.600 even gonna start to fall, and then cut the stunt 0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:48.560 Jack who like eats ship and dowstairs. And then you're like, 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:51.639 and there's Jack again, who gently walked down the stairs 0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:58.280 and laid laid himself down. So then she goes outside 0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:03.040 to the like snow cat snowmobile vehicle to try to escape, 0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:05.959 but Jack has cut the wires and the tubes and everything. 0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:11.000 So she's trapped there and Danny is yelling about red Rum, 0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:16.000 which spoiler murder backwards. Okay, you didn't have to ruin 0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:20.359 that for jesus. Sorry, sorry, it's like telling you who's 0:22:20.440 --> 0:22:28.000 the masked singer. You simply don't do it. Forgive me, 0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:33.200 forgive me. Jack. Somehow we don't totally understand how gets 0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:36.960 out of the storage room. Maybe Mr Grady the Ghost 0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:41.200 lets him out, um, and then he starts chopping down 0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:44.920 the door of Wendy's room with an ax and then 0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:50.120 he's like, here's Johnny. Wendy grabs Danny and they try 0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:52.320 to escape out the window. But then this is when 0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:57.120 Mr Hollowran shows up and Jack goes after him murders 0:22:57.200 --> 0:23:01.520 him with an axe, and then Ac is chasing after Danny, 0:23:01.560 --> 0:23:05.320 who runs into the maze. Wendy's back in the hotel 0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:09.680 looking for Danny, and she sees a furry giving a 0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:13.720 blow job to someone, which I totally forgot about. Always 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:17.960 forget about that scene. What. I'm not sure there's any 0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:22.760 I mean, does that happen in the book. No, So, 0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:28.000 Stanley Kubrick's just like L O L random humor absolutely 0:23:28.040 --> 0:23:31.760 does not happen I'm not sure. I this is one 0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:33.359 of those movies where I'm like a million people are 0:23:33.359 --> 0:23:36.080 going to be our. I mentioned like the furry obviously meant, 0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:39.359 but like I couldn't make heads or tails of it, 0:23:39.520 --> 0:23:46.880 nor could I. Okay, okay, tails, funny, Wow, that's going 0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:54.600 in the cordon packet. In the packet it goes. So. 0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:57.480 Then Jack chases after Danny in the maze and he's 0:23:57.520 --> 0:24:00.880 following Danny's tracks in the snow dan a. At one 0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:02.920 point he backtracks a little bit and then he hides 0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:06.960 his tracks, and then Jack gets lost. Danny manages to 0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:09.760 get back out of the maze, He and Wendy escape 0:24:09.880 --> 0:24:12.879 in snow vehicle that Scott man Cruthers arrived in, and 0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:16.160 then we catched the following morning, Jack has frozen to death, 0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:18.600 and then we see a photo of him from nine 0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:25.200 that he is in leaving a lot open to interpretations, 0:24:25.520 --> 0:24:31.240 firing a million annoying YouTube videos, the whole genre of 0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:36.280 speculative bullshit that I don't sorry he would you agree 0:24:36.640 --> 0:24:39.560 when I say that Jack Torrence isn't your average person? Yeah? 0:24:39.560 --> 0:24:42.080 I agree with that. Okay, Well I know something about 0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:45.640 an average person to tell me. Also, for for everyone, 0:24:45.680 --> 0:24:47.879 who was in Jack Torrance out there. The average person 0:24:48.160 --> 0:24:51.440 spent one third of their life sleeping and not awaken 0:24:51.560 --> 0:24:55.400 killing people like Jack Torrance. So you should be comfortable 0:24:55.560 --> 0:24:59.560 while you're sleeping all that time, right right, Well that's 0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:03.400 where Sper comes in. Did you see that coming? Actors 0:25:03.800 --> 0:25:06.560 really could have solved it if he had had Casper, 0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:09.720 I think, well, I mean in too bad. This episode 0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:14.080 isn't about Casper, the friendly little boy girl friendly with 0:25:14.200 --> 0:25:18.119 all his creepy uncles. Right, but this episode is about, 0:25:18.359 --> 0:25:22.560 of course the Shining the movie whose sequel is Doctor 0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:28.879 Sleep because see what I did there? Because Casper is 0:25:28.960 --> 0:25:33.240 a sleep brand that makes expertly designed products to help 0:25:33.320 --> 0:25:35.920 you get your best rest one night at a time. 0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:40.440 Are you listening, Jack torrens okaying he dies? Casper products 0:25:40.680 --> 0:25:45.080 are cleverly designed to mimic human curves, which provide supportive 0:25:45.119 --> 0:25:48.679 comfort for all kinds of bodies. The original Casper mattress 0:25:48.720 --> 0:25:52.840 combined multiple supportive memory films for quality sleep service with 0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:56.119 the right amount of sink and bounce. Imagine all the 0:25:56.800 --> 0:25:58.840 what do you think the ghosts would use them? You 0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:00.720 know what? I bet they're in every hotel room at 0:26:00.760 --> 0:26:03.920 they overlook hotel. I think things would have ended so 0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:07.960 differently if only if only Casper Mattress have been around 0:26:08.160 --> 0:26:11.200 she was. You know, what they also have is a 0:26:11.560 --> 0:26:15.280 breathable design that helps regulate body temperature throughout the night, 0:26:16.040 --> 0:26:18.879 so you know, the ghosts and people alike won't be 0:26:19.040 --> 0:26:22.160 overheating as they sleep. I worry about goes over here 0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:28.800 like a car. Casper also, Caitlyn has affordable prices because 0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:31.840 they cut out the middleman and they sell directly to you, 0:26:32.400 --> 0:26:35.240
