00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:21.920
Before we get into the nitty-and-gritty.
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:25.519
Hello, everybody, and welcome back to Split Screen.
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:26.480
My name is Kyle Clark.
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:27.839
And I'm Angelica Clark.
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:34.240
And this is a podcast where we do deep dive in the minds and lives of horror movie villains, suspense thrillers, and true crime stories.
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:42.399
And I am a licensed clinical therapist, and I will be psychoanalyzing whatever movie, book, or TV show that we are discussing.
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:47.280
Alright, so let's kind of real quick address the elephant in the room.
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:59.439
We've just had a lot of life things going on lately, so it's been really hard for us to get here to record, and that's why we're going to be dropping a couple of episodes real quick back to back.
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:05.040
And to kind of go into that segment, can I paint you a picture?
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:06.400
Please do.
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:10.159
It's late October.
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:22.239
Jack Torrance, a struggling rider, recovering alcoholic, and former prep school teacher, takes a job as the winter caretaker for the secluded Overlook Hotel.
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.879
Joining him are his wife Wendy and their young son Danny.
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.120
Their assignment seems simple.
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:38.879
Maintain the sprawling resort during the five months of total winter isolation, completely cut off from civilization by heavy snow drifts.
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:47.040
To understand the tragic crime that unfolded inside the overlook, I think we kind of need to go a little deeper.
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.400
What did you what did you think of the movie?
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:53.040
Watching it in 2026.
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:56.560
Cheesy as hell.
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:58.719
So cheesy.
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:04.480
Um but I mean I liked it.
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:13.199
I mean, it was an easy one to go through, and it had a lot of interesting things that I'm going to be talking about, so I'm really excited.
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:20.960
Well, and the kind of like I I remember The Shining when I was a kid being one of the scariest movies I've ever seen.
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:27.280
And one of my favorite movies ever as a kid was Twister.
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:28.080
Yeah.
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:37.439
And there's a scene in the movie Twister where they're at a drive-in movie theater and they're watching The Shining.
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:38.960
Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:47.520
And I remember that being more scary to me than the F4 uh tornado, I think, that was heading their way to hit them.
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:49.919
And I I think I agree.
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:56.879
Watching it with you again, the the scary aspect was extremely lackluster, in my opinion.
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:05.919
But that also could be because we are very desensitized to a lot of this kind of media.
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.879
So that could play a role as well.
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:15.759
Well, you also gotta think in 1980, this shit was like nightmare central.
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:29.120
So, like if you're thinking about it from the lens of let's put ourselves in 1980, um, that is scary as hell.
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.000
The movie was probably terrifying back then.
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:41.120
Well, it it's it's directed by Stanley Kubrick, and the author of the original story was Stephen King.
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:57.520
And when it comes to the shining, it's almost like you have to watch certain things to understand a little bit about what's going on inside the hotel.
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:10.719
And what I mean by that is not necessarily the mental health aspect of it, but the supernatural twist that the author kind of bleeds into the fine print of the film.
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:42.319
So when it comes to our conversation, let's this one for me was kind of almost a really with the supernatural, there is still a lot you can unpack when it comes to mental health and stability with just what these people are doing and what they're involving themselves with by caretaking over this property.
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:43.120
Yeah.
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:51.439
I've always said it'd be really hard to psychoanalyze a movie or TV show or whatever that has supernatural aspects to it, but I agree.
00:04:51.519 --> 00:05:07.600
I think this one, there's enough of the other side of things, like enough of the mental health and the trauma and things like that, that it's you know, the supernatural stuff we don't necessarily have to worry about.
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:20.000
Yeah, and that's that would be kind of more for like a uh if this was like a re-watcher episode where we discuss the film in its entirety as if it was fact.
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:30.160
But we we start off with with uh Jack Torrance, and he seems like a really good stand-up guy in the beginning.
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:31.439
He's well dressed.
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:38.480
I mean, it's Jack Nicholson in the 80s, still kind of terrifying at the same time.
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:48.240
Jack Nicholson always had this kind of scary look to him, like he would look like my dad, you know, like he'd yell at me and I'd feel bad about it.
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:56.639
But he he accepts this position and it's with the intent to have this time to go right.
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:15.920
And I don't think that he took into consideration what this would do, but there's also something inside of Danny that he doesn't know that when Danny enters this hotel, it activates something within.
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:22.959
And that's the supernatural aspect is the shining, what Danny can do.
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:38.319
And if you continue to read into the stories when you go
Load full transcript
to Carrie, Doctor's sleep, um, Firestarter, they they start to make sense when you look at it from that aspect.
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:48.000
But if you take that out and you just look at it from a mental health aspect, this seems really scary.
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:59.839
Well, I want to add that you say something is in Danny that awakens basically whenever he goes into the hotel.
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:08.639
But if you remember, um he kind of started acting funky, I guess, whenever Tony comes into the picture.
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:12.879
But Tony comes into the picture after his after what happened with his dad.
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:19.759
And so I think I need to do some more research on like you know, Dr.
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:27.120
Sleep and Carrie and you know, all the other interconnected people, um to see if it's the same with them.
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:39.519
But I think Danny's trauma is what woke up his shine, or like what you know caused it, if you will, because he didn't have anything before that, before the trauma.
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:40.800
Yeah, no, I agree.
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:47.759
And if I if I misspoke, I meant like when Danny entered the hotel, something awoke in it.
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:49.600
No, the like the hotel woke up.
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:50.879
Yeah, I didn't think you misspoke.
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:56.480
I just was just like, you know, I think that's actually when his trauma started, like it wasn't always there.
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:58.480
I think, or not trauma, but his shine started.
00:07:58.560 --> 00:07:59.600
I think it started from trauma.
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:16.000
Yeah, and the and then because we learned throughout the film is dad was a pretty serious alcoholic and you know, maybe not the best spoken person at home, and you know, physical or emotional, that can be trauma no matter what.
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:16.720
Yeah.
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:24.639
So speaking of mental health, emotional trauma, all the things, should we get into it?
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:25.920
Let's go.
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:27.040
All right.
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:29.279
Obviously, we talk about Jack.
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:33.679
He is a very cut and dry, easy one to talk about.
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:36.240
So I'm gonna be very brief with him.
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:45.679
We know he's an alcoholic, he struggles with addiction, which is has also caused trauma for him when he does hurt Danny.
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:58.879
So I think on top of, but it's weird because he talks about how he's he almost you almost briefly get a sense of guilt for him hurting Danny and blaming alcohol for that.
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:03.360
But then he also talks about in the same breath that he misses alcohol and how it made him feel.
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:09.360
So it's almost like you don't know what he feels worse about, not drinking anymore or hitting his son.
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:11.039
Classic narcissist.
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:16.320
So he is always the victim, blaming others, can't take accountability for his actions.
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:21.120
He is just he's just mean, he thinks he's just hot shit.
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:32.080
Um, but I I I do think I wish we knew more about his background, but I do think there's some trauma there for him too, even in childhood that maybe causes the alcoholism.
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:48.480
But I I also do 100% think that it was regardless of him not drinking anymore, I think him hurting Danny did cause him some trauma and kind of put him deeper into himself, whether he wanted to admit to it or wanted to admit or not.
00:09:48.879 --> 00:10:09.200
So I do believe he had violent tendencies from the very beginning, but I think being in isolation at the hotel, not being able to leave, having no other people around, that caused a psychotic break for him, which is what caused him to kind of turn into this violent person.
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:14.799
And the whole movie itself is just all about generational trauma.
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:29.440
When he goes to the hotel, I mean, you get all these different people that have been there, what's happened to them, and it's just one thing after another with him, and then with Danny, and then moving forward, you just know, okay, everybody in this hotel is just messed up in the head.
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:47.039
I do, I do think I want to talk more, and this is gonna sound really weird, but I kind of want to analyze, and by analyze I mean like psychoanalyze the actual hotel as if it's a character, if you will allow me to do that.
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:49.519
Yeah, I definitely will allow you to do that.
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:50.080
Okay.
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:51.519
Bear with me.
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:52.159
Okay.
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:57.679
I understand the hotel is just a hotel, it's an inanimate object.
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:02.879
Um, it's not a person, it you know, doesn't have feelings, but I I disagree.
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:17.679
For one, I'm going to see the entire idea, concept, what have you, of the overlook hotel is the entire Freudian concept of the unconscious mind.
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:27.200
So for those who are not familiar with the unconscious mind, Sigmund Freud created this idea of the consciousness.
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:29.679
So there's three levels to consciousness.
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:36.960
And if you picture an iceberg in your head, you see like the top of the iceberg is what you see, right?
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:38.399
Just like in Titanic.
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:41.840
But then you there's so much underneath that you can't see.
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:51.759
So if you think of the three types of consciousness broken down that way, the conscious mind is the top or the awareness a person has.
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:58.960
Then there's the pre-conscious, which is like that small slab of ice that you can kind of see right below
the water.
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:13.679
And that is where your information, where memories are, where like knowledge is from like, let's say you learned something in fifth grade, and then you don't have to bring it back to the forefront until you're in your 30s.
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:19.440
That's because it's in your pre-conscious mind, but but your mind has put it to the side because, oh, it's not important.
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:36.879
And then you have the unconscious mind, which this unconscious is where our instincts and drives um live, our deeply buried fears, unfulfilled wishes and dreams, and this is also where traumatic memories are.
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:46.399
So when you've heard me talk about PTSD, you've heard me talk about one of the biggest symptoms is repressed memories, right?
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:50.559
Like you, or you don't remember certain aspects of the event.
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.480
It's because of the trauma that your brain, according to Freud.
00:12:54.720 --> 00:13:00.720
And I'm gonna be the first to say I think Freud is an idiot, and I can't stand the man.
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:02.480
I think he's just gross.
00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:17.120
But this is one concept that I always found to be interesting, and I think a lot of the hotel itself is supposed to signify the unconscious mind of Jack.
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:20.240
Interesting.
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:21.519
So I know.
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:44.480
So it's basically like viewing, like you're you're seeing Jack and how he's reacting, interacting with people, and then you see the hotel, and you're almost seeing like Jack on the outside and Jack on the inside, almost like the hotel is a representation of his fractured psyche.
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:48.080
So I want to dive even further into that.
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:50.080
You bearing with me so far.
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:51.279
I'm still here.
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:51.840
Okay.
00:13:52.240 --> 00:14:03.039
So when you hear me talk about the unconscious mind, I had mentioned, you know, that it's where instincts and drives live, according to Freud.
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:09.600
So instincts and drive would be things like as simple as, hey, I'm hungry, I need to eat, right?
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:10.480
You don't think about it.
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:14.960
I'm thirsty, I need to drink something, I need to go to the bathroom, I need to sleep because I'm tired.
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:25.360
But it also, so that's that in instinct stuff, but then it also buries that, those drives, including like sexual drives, things like that.
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:38.639
So I think 437, the woman in 437 represents or supposed to represent his lust drive.
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:42.799
Like it doesn't seem like him and his wife are doing very well.
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:45.039
He also is a narcissist.
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:50.720
So I think this the woman in 437 represents him, represents that, not him.
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:58.960
And then if you think about, I talk about unfulfilled wishes and unfulfilled dreams as part of the unconscious.
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:19.039
I think the two I think the sisters, part of that because they were young when they died, which technically, if you really think about it in this perspective, could represent their unfulfilled wishes and dreams because they died at a young age and they they are stuck, right?
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:34.000
But you also have a bar with no alcohol and a person who is a recovering alcoholic living in the hotel with a bar with no alcohol.
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:43.840
So his unfulfilled wishes and dreams, he goes to that bar because you know he wants to drink, but he can't, which makes him unravel even more.
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:44.720
Yeah.
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:48.080
Then you go into buried fears.
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:58.559
So this one was a little bit harder for me to like pinpoint what exactly in the movie or in the hotel would represent like those buried fears.
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:06.559
But I think it's just that very generic, like death, blood, you know, being isolated, things like that.
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:16.720
And then it also represents not only repressed memories, but the return of those same repressed memories.
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:21.600
So all these obviously just trauma left and right.
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:25.679
All of that's going to be repressed and coming back to the forefront.
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:39.440
Like we just talked about Tony a little bit ago, and how Tony is almost kind of that being, if you will, that reminds Danny of like, hey, your dad's an asshole, you know?
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:40.320
Yeah.
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:46.960
So it also talks about Jack's violent tendencies.
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:58.799
And I think the if you're talking about the unconscious mind and how it brings back repressed urges or repressed memories, returns things like that.
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:09.279
This also includes Jack's violent tendencies because it doesn't talk about things before, like the only violent incident we really hear about is Danny.
00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:15.119
But I have a hunch, just based on who he is as a person, there are probably others.
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:36.640
Well, and for those of you who have not seen the film, which I'm sure I would assume you have by now, but if you have not, the violent incident is where Jack in anger pulls on Danny's arm, and did he break it or did he dislocate it?
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:41.839
They said he dislocated his shoulder because he pulled him hard enough to dislocate his shoulder.
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:50.240
And that's that's kind of where the distrust and the I need to quit drinking kind of came into play.
00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:56.400
But I also think that he would not have stopped if he wasn't forced to.
00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:59.599
Like I think he was perfectly fine with continuing
to drink.
00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:06.559
Because if he absolutely, you know, what we say in my field is if they want to, they will.
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:18.400
Like I can, you know, I supervise case managers who deal with patients on a day-to-day basis who have things like schizophrenia and severe bipolar disorder and are alcoholics.
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:34.319
And I tell my case managers all the time, like, you can give them resource after resource after resource, you can help connect them to different things, but they still have to make the choice to utilize what we give them.
00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:45.359
And so kind of goes back to Jack, where his wife is like, Hey, you know, you gotta do this, and he's like reluctantly does it, but does he really want it?
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:46.480
Is it gonna be sustainable?
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:47.279
Probably not.
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:48.480
We see that.
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:55.039
Yeah, I think it's super cool to look at because the shining, if you look at it yourself, it's so silly.
00:18:55.279 --> 00:19:01.440
The entire thing is just like, oh my gosh, you can absolutely tell this was in 1980, because it's just so cheesy.
00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:06.880
But if you look at it from that lens of like, okay, let's think about this as if it's the inside of Jack's mind.
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:09.759
And it's it makes so much more sense.
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:16.400
And that's also why I think that Danny activates it.
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:41.119
Because I think regardless of how Jack feels or what he sees himself as, what he sees Danny as, I think Danny awakes something in Jack, whether that's his anger, whether that's his violence, whether that's the small percentage of actual humanity and empathy he might have because he has a son.
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:46.160
I think Danny does do that to Jack, which I think is also why he does it to the hotel.
00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:47.680
Interesting.
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:55.200
I did not I I'm sorry if I've been quiet.
00:19:55.920 --> 00:20:01.279
I've never necessarily really kind of looked at it from that lens.
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:09.440
And the way that you kind of laid that out for us was uh extremely well done.
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.160
And it's huh.
00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:31.920
Yeah, it's very crazy to really look at it from that aspect because if you want to take even the supernatural out of it, it could still be there because of the imagination of one's brain, yeah, and being involved with Jack.
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:35.759
That's that's an interesting way.
00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:55.599
Because I think I even when we were watching it, and Jack is at the bar and he's talking to Lloyd, and I I said out loud, I was like, it is Jack shining right now, or is this all legitimately in his head?
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:59.519
Because I maybe it's one and the same.
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:07.200
So you talk about Lloyd, and that also brings me to
something else.
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:10.799
Um, you say that, you know, is he a figment of his imagination?
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:12.799
Is he part of the hotel?
00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:27.839
I think what he's supposed to represent, I think Lloyd goes back to that like unconscious part of the mind that brings you that gives you your or that hides your deepest desires.
00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:33.920
And Lloyd is a bartender at a bar that does not serve alcohol.
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:48.960
So he would represent, if you think about it again, if we're just thinking about the the hotel itself as the unconscious mind, according to Freud, or Jack's unconscious mind, or his psyche, if you will.
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:56.400
I think Lloyd is that like crave it's like a physical manifestation of Jack's craving for alcohol.
00:21:57.440 --> 00:21:59.279
Hence why he would be a bartender.
00:21:59.440 --> 00:21:59.680
Yes.
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:07.200
Not only a bartender, but a bartender at a bar that we know has no alcohol.
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:12.000
And has the exact whiskey he likes.
00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:15.119
Yeah, and made the exact way he likes it.
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:17.599
Like he's met this person before.
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:20.720
Why would that be?
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:41.119
But then he's also kind of that devil on his shoulder as well, because he's trying to get him to consume this alcohol, but he's also feeding him little lies about Wendy, little lies about Danny, and it's uh it's interesting.
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:47.440
I I kind of just had almost an epiphany a few moments ago.
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:51.920
I will not discuss in this episode.
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:55.200
We will discuss it in the next one.
00:22:55.839 --> 00:23:01.519
Um it will pertain more to the next episode than it will here.
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:05.839
And I kind of want to talk to you about it first without being recorded.
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:08.559
Sorry guys, you're not gonna get to hear that one.
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:10.240
It's just because I'm special.
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:16.000
But so I have some things I would like to talk about the film.
00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:29.200
Um, as you guys know, kind of like my thing is the filmography of it, and I thought that this would be a really fun one to kind of look up some behind the scenes, kind of what was going on.
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:48.799
And so just so that you're aware, so the iconic blood scene, it took nine days to rig up and used roughly 200 to 300 gallons of artificial blood pumping out of the elevator shafts.
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:50.000
Oh wow.
00:23:50.559 --> 00:24:09.279
Nine days to set that single scene up, and that was the most blood ever on screen at the time, and I do believe it chapter two took took the reins on that one.
00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:12.319
I think they use 900 gallons, I think.
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:13.599
Don't quote me on that.
00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:16.880
I'm that just ADHD memory.
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:20.079
So a little quip about something.
00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:54.000
So there is a little bit of the moon landing conspiracy involved with this film due to the fact that Stanley Kubrick was um lightly accused of filming the Apollo 11 Moon Landing, and it's uh it was debunked, but a fan theory claims that Kubrick used the film as a hidden confession to helping NASA fake the 1969 moon landing to things like Danny's Apollo 19 sweater.
00:24:55.039 --> 00:25:03.279
It didn't say Apollo 19, it was Apollo 11, but and then also the room.
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:11.200
So it was debunked, but it was kind of silly that at the time Stanley Kubrick was kind of getting some fire over that.
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:16.240
The iconic, very iconic, here's Johnny.
00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:25.839
So Jack Nicholson actually improvised that line based on Ed McFarron's nightly intro into the tonight show.
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:26.480
What?
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:41.599
And that scene required about sixty doors over three days because Nicholson, a former volunteer fire marshal, tore through the prop doors too easily.
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:49.200
So but my my question my question, who the hell's Johnny?
00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:54.000
I that's I I think it might be Is that what he says?
00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:55.519
Johnny Carson.
00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:57.680
That's hilarious.
00:25:58.160 --> 00:26:13.039
Now, here's here's something that's kind of I don't know how necessarily I feel about this, but so the five-year-old child star who played Danny did not know he was making a horror film.
00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:20.720
Stanley Kubrick and his parents told him they were filming a drama about a family living in a hotel.
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:22.079
My God.
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:28.160
So the terror that that boy has, it's all real for him.
00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:29.119
It's terrible.
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:36.559
When he's riding his bicycle and sees those two girls down the hallway, he did not know those girls were going to be there.
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:39.680
So they gave the poor boy trauma to represent trauma.
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:40.799
100%.
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:43.279
That's crazy.
00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:50.640
But that's just a few things that that I thought were interesting that I wanted to add to this episode just because of how.
00:26:52.720 --> 00:27:06.400
So it's just kind of like with our very first episode where we talk about um Psycho by Robert Block kind of paving the way for horror films that we have now.
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:18.400
And The Shining kind of was that evolutionary gift that we got from that aspect, and then everything kind of fell through after The Shining.
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:49.839
It was kind of like it took the reins of being a standalone kind of foundation for what we have as horror films today, and it's it was interesting to to see it from this lens, and it it will always kind of just be there as like I enjoyed it, and I'm also okay not watching it again.
00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:50.799
Yeah.
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:55.440
But what are your end thoughts on that?
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:08.319
I don't think you understand how hard it is not to say anymore because of I'm I tried to figure out what would what would uh bleed into the next one.
00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:14.400
But I so I think I've said what I can say about this particular movie.
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:27.759
Yeah, it's very, very difficult not to just go into it because our next episode is going to be a little bit more meaty than what this one was.
00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:32.079
There really wasn't a whole lot to kind of unpack with The Shining.
00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:37.200
Um, but what we're gonna do next, there is.
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:43.200
And so hopefully you guys enjoy the next episode, which will be Doctor Sleep.
00:28:43.680 --> 00:28:48.640
And I am excited to sit down and really unpack that one.
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:52.319
And that one could potentially be our longest episode yet.
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:53.839
So there's just so much.
00:28:54.079 --> 00:29:11.119
Um I'm I'm willing to go as long as it takes to get out what we need to give this film the writing by Stephen King, the acting, and the writers who developed the films the credit it actually deserves.
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:14.960
So hopefully you guys enjoyed this episode on The Shining.
00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:32.079
I had a lot of fun uh getting back into this, and I had a lot more fun with Doctor's Sleep, and who knows, maybe Carrie or Firestarter or something along those lines might make it into that group because they're kind of coming back.
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:34.559
And they're all connected.
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:37.599
So, but I hope you guys enjoyed.
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:42.240
I hope everybody's doing okay, and we will talk to you guys in the next one.
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:43.359
Thank you.
