I really hope you watch Doctor Sleep at some point after this. I never really liked The Shining before, but that sequel made this film better.

Awesome, one of the greatest of all time...hyped for this one.

Room 237 would be a cool follow up to this. Its a documentary about the symbolism and meaning of this movie.

Btw, "that music" is György Ligeti's "Lontano". Together with contemporaries like Stockhausen, Xenakis, Boulez, and Varese, Ligeti was one of the giants of "Neue Musik" mid 20th century, following in the abstract, experimental footsteps of composers like Schönberg, Webern, and Bartok. Kubrick seems to have been quite fond of Ligeti - also using his "Lux Aeterna" to great effect in "2001: A Space Odyssey". And neither of these movies would feel as intense without Ligeti's eery and evocative soundscapes.

Stephen King stories take place mostly in Maine and New England. Kubrick filmed most of his movies in the UK, including The Shining, except some of the scenery being shot in Colorado and California on location by someone else.

Please watch Rosemarie's Baby if you have not seen it yet. Total masterpiece in paranoia. Would love to see you guys react to that film.

Tyler Scott

You guys lived up to the hype haha, the immersion and atmosphere of the movie is my fav part of it and i could tell you both were into it haha great stuff!

Sid's house from Toy Story has the same carpet in it

Jack Nicholsen is sooo great in this! between his acting and the music, its one of the creepiest movies ever made IMO

This might be a hot take, but I prefer the 1997 remake to this version. Closer to the book, plus the kid in this freaks me out.

Glad you all enjoyed this one! For another amazing fantastic performance by Jack Nicholson, you should watch One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)! It is one of only 3 films to win the Big 5 at the Oscars: Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay.

Stanley Kubrick was a legend that all the legends wanted to work with. There is a guy named Rob Ager. He has a few channels and most agree his analysis of Stanley Kubrick work is as good as it gets. They helped me develop much better understanding and appreciation for this movie and Full Metal Jacket especially.

Though many suggest Cuckoo's Nest, I'm much more a fan of Jack Nicholson in a brilliantly done character study called Five Easy Pieces from 1970. It's a understated, dramatic role for him, and we see a lot of the raw talent that would become the basis for his idiosyncratic, if sometimes cartoonish, acting style later in his career. It also won him his first Oscar nomination and got him really noticed by Hollywood.

I hope you do the sequel "Doctor Sleep" its really good, one of the few sequels that is just as good as the original.

Trevor Go

Great as always. Consider Frailty for another fun movie. BTW glad to see the hair budget has increased for this channel. We see you growing it out Chad.

Really suggest reading into the implications of the Bear costume scene... lots of Bear imagery throughout the film that ties it all together in a really sad, fucked up way. Sort of the skeleton key for the movie for me

I saw the flash of Rose the Hat in the YT edit. I can't wait for the Dr. Sleep reaction! Another gem that sadly wasn't a financial success.
