Tara Erickson & Andrew Gordon react to Doctor Sleep (2019 – Director’s Cut), the chilling and emotional supernatural horror sequel to The Shining — written and directed by Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass, Gerald’s Game). Based on Stephen King’s 2013 novel, this haunting continuation bridges King’s world and Stanley Kubrick’s classic vision, expanding the legacy of trauma, addiction, and psychic power known as “the shining.” The film stars Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi, Moulin Rouge!) as Dan Torrance, now an adult still scarred by the events at the Overlook Hotel. Struggling with alcoholism and inner demons, Dan finds new purpose when he meets Abra Stone, a young girl with powerful psychic abilities, played by Kyliegh Curran (I Can I Will I Did, Secrets of Sulphur Springs). Together, they must face the terrifying cult known as The True Knot, led by the mesmerizing and sinister Rose the Hat, played by Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Dune). The Director’s Cut, running nearly three hours, deepens the emotion, world-building, and psychological horror — offering fans the definitive version of Flanagan’s masterpiece.

Starting point is 00:01:16 and he might have flirted with the girl I well I mean I do that all the time so it's part of my charm yeah but you did it like for real at a hotel which is that's cool neither here nor there We will not share it with the people. I don't think doing that at the Overlook Hotel is the probably best way to do is we know Jack Torrance did not go do, have a good time doing that.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Right. Doing things over there, you know. Yeah. But Tara, anyways, how are you doing? Yeah, I'm okay. I'm good. I'm fine. I don't know.

Starting point is 00:02:56 I clicked it. Whoa. Didn't we start on the first frame of the film of The Shining following that Volkswagen? Where you going, Violet? Just to pick some flowers. Don't wander too far. 1980, the year of the Shining. Lover, Converse.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Violet. I recognize this girl. Yeah, I do too. But why does that name sound from it? It's not from the 1980 movies. I don't remember anybody named Violet in that. I just remember Violet from the Willy Wonka in the Chalkal Factory. I had a lot of bubble gum or gum in general.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Well, hi there. Oh, I didn't know she was in the film. Me neither. Where did she find those? I know all the secret places. Love her in Silo. What was it, Rebecca Ferguson, right? And Mission.

Is that the Overlook Hotel? Looks like it. It looks like the carpet. Chapter 1.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Oh, ghost. Holy crap. Just like with Danny? Or is that Danny? I guess we'll see. Definitely looks like him. It's a very reminiscent shot as well. It keeps rolling.
Starting point is 00:05:50 He went left in the other one. I don't remember us going right. Oh. Where are we going room two, three, seven? Probably. It would be like two doors up right here. Two doors? It was. Three, seven.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Bingo. Oh, that's not him. Maybe he's older and having a dream about when he was younger. Like a flashback. If that creepy lady with all those weird boils on her body, I can't. Oh, God. Nope. I can't. Make her not old and creepy. go back to the young version of her of the model please please oh ew i see something
Starting point is 00:06:33 oh there was literally what we said we didn't want gross weird room what is that thing i was painting did you say weird room or red rum weird room weird room okay so we are with danny is this the after this has to be the aftermath i'm assuming of after they left with his mom Oh. Wow. Creepy. What?
Starting point is 00:07:04 There's someone in there. Is that his mom? Oh, my God. It's what. Why? Yeah. I don't want it. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:07:20 And we're getting it in less than 10 minutes. It's. Ew! I can't. I can't. Please close the door. Please close the door. Run.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Don't go back. Let's insert that right away. Oh, it makes you want to vomit. Oh, this poor kid. Is he going to wake up and this is like... Oh, Wendy. It's okay. I think Shelley Duvall was still alive when this movie came out
Starting point is 00:07:54 because I believe this is 20. She passed in my birthday in 2024. Oh, well, she would have been really old. Yeah, no, no, she's too old to play this role, but... What happened? Oh, buddy. You have to talk to me, Danny.
Starting point is 00:08:07 You haven't talked since we left. What about... Is it Tony, right? Remember, she saw a bunch of shit, too, as she was exiting the hotel. Yeah. So I don't know... I know if that is, like, she thought maybe I must be going crazy and I don't know
Starting point is 00:08:24 what I saw. No, she remembers. The way he was in this. Oh, interesting. Wow. All right. I still got the incredible transitions down. I am loving the way this film is framed so far.
Starting point is 00:08:43 It is taking me back to old school. So, making. Dick Hollering? Do. Hey. We're talking much first time I met you neither. He looks really good. said to spend a long winter at that rock course had to go with a different actor the other one passed away a few years after the original that is dark as that boy is bright is he bright he's shining like fire looks very like good though
Starting point is 00:09:12 in one place the worst place for someone who shines this is so cool you can communicate to him after he passes you remember the first time we really talked when i spoke up inside your head made you feel good right Right, knowing you weren't alone. Daddy tried to kill me. Yeah, he did. It wasn't all him. You gotta know that place fed his dark like it fed on your light. Yeah. And he had some light in him too.
Starting point is 00:09:38 We did see that at the beginning. Just like you got some dark. He's not done with me. Never strike you for him. How I showed up when I did when you needed me. Someone did that for me too. Hmm. Uh, someone was connected to him.
Starting point is 00:09:53 My grandma taught me and I taught you. you and someday Danny Torrance you'll teach someone else I won't shine I mean more it's dangerous hmm she found me she'll come back and come back until she gets me hmm you're right the overlook's condemned boarded up they're starving old ghosts and they're reaching out for you yeah don't stop with her either pictures in the book we said they were just pictures in the book and they couldn't hurt so the boy's doing a good job the overlook it was It does always just pictures to me, but I didn't shine like you.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Hmm. Nobody shines like you. That's your new pickup line for the girl at the Overlook Hotel. I will remember that one for sure. It's going in my notebook. Worlds are hungry place, and the darkest things are the hungriest, and they'll eat what shines. Swarm it like mosquitoes or leeches.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Can't do nothing about that. It's also just worldview advice. What you can do is turn what they come for against them. My grandfather beat me senseless, and my grandma, too, and when he died, I danced. Yikes. But he kept on coming back, standing in my room, suit all gray, and stinking from whatever mold was growing on him in that box. Oh. One day, he grabbed me, and he was real.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Tell me you killed him. His nails were long from growing in the grave. Ew. Cut me deep, so, grandma, she taught me a trick. I want you to know this box. What's in the box? Inside and out. Don't just look at it.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Touch it. Know every corner. Why? Because you're going to build one just like it in your mind. Oh, you can hide in? So next time that bitch comes around, you'll be ready. Oh, or to bury her in there. Let's get you back to mama.
Starting point is 00:11:47 That's what I was thinking. More put her in the box, but... Shouldn't have to worry another day in her life. We don't want to run from demons. We want to face them with... That woman's... Paid her dead. What a setting they picked.
Starting point is 00:12:01 She almost sounded like Shelly Duvalder. She really did in the, Daddy. Don't you do that to me? You hear? Don't you ever do that to me? Oh, Violet, no. Oh my God, every time. Okay, we got to box her up.
Starting point is 00:12:21 You are. Honestly, I can't, I can't keep looking at her. So, buddy, you got to shut up. cover in the box, in your mind right now. You are going in the box. Oh, yeah, look at this. That boy, Danny. Okay, all right, box it up.
Starting point is 00:12:33 I just don't want to see it. Oh, what a cool image. Okay, good, good, good. Nice. Dude, this little boy, is that the ice maze from the first movie? Yeah. Oh, it was just so quickly. That was great.
Starting point is 00:12:52 That was awesome. You okay, Doc? Yeah, we can go to the best. bath now. Yeah, he's like, I'm great. I'm okay. That was sick. I mean, simple, quick and effective, but awesome. Yeah, agreed. Hello, Ewan McGregor. He's so cute. Hello there. Oh, hell yeah. This is my jam right here, Tara. The song? No, the shots. The shots. Yeah. But I like the song, too. Maybe one day I'll just in my drink, I'll just slip some alcohol
Starting point is 00:13:28 in, make the reaction even more because I say, this guy's my idol. Look at him go. Oh, oh, God, nope. Nope. Okay, that's... Nope.
Starting point is 00:13:42 I don't want it. Really don't want it. All right, so time frame is 20 plus 11, 31 years later. I was having a drink with the lady, all right? Damn, that eye is really shining right now. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Holy! Mother goodness gracious. Oh, yeah. I mean, oh, my God, you better get out of there. You're going to kill that guy. You're going to kill that guy. Oh, my, I think he's dead. Oh, that girl loved it.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Yeah. Yeah. One might say she was drawn to the violence. I hope he killed him. You hear me? Let me kiss about her. Okay. All right. What is that?
Starting point is 00:14:36 Okay. Said they're in New Jersey, right? That looks like American currency. Hell is a stamp. Oh, what? Uh-oh. Buddy. What's your name, hero?
Starting point is 00:14:50 Is that kiss? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, God, not by the vomit. Oh, God. Oh, God. You can put her money back, Doc. You can do that much. She took mine. She probably bought the crap with it.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Yeah, but two wrongs don't make her right. No, no, Doc. You can put things from the overlook away in boxes, but not memories. Never those. Yeah, not real life. Real ghosts. You take them with. you. Pain and suffering make us who we are.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Aniston, New Hampshire. Time for bed, Abra. A little war. No more, sweet. Big day tomorrow. But they party. Yeah. You don't think that's violet that they snatched at the beginning, do you? Looks like it. She has her eyes.
Starting point is 00:15:45 Oh, she loves playing that piano. Good for her. We shouldn't have bought that. that damn piano for another five or six years. Yeah. That's awesome and creepy. How would you react to that in real life? I'd be like, I'm moving out of this house. I'd be like, oh, I got one of those
Starting point is 00:16:13 that automatic plays didn't know. You're pretty in your picture. I think it is. Yeah. I assume she's going to do the door. dirty in here and get paid for it. Doing the juice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Oh, is that Rebecca Ferguson with the hat, Rose? A little gross. Not interesting. Just watch. It's interesting, I promise. It better be because she's not all that steamy. And there she goes. That's what Tara said.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Oh. Hypnotize her. Oh. Oh. Very cool. That's pretty bad timing. When were you? Doctor Sleep?
Starting point is 00:16:52 Okay. That's a cool power to have. I watched you do it three times down and never gets old. Sleep deeper. I wish someone could do the sleep part of me. The pain you feel is only a dream. Who will the pain be? A dream.
Starting point is 00:17:08 You can explain a lost wallet when you're always asked. Is she pulling a dexter on him? Explain this. This you'll see every day when you look in the mirror. Oh shit. And every time you see it, You'll say out loud, I like a little girl. Oh, stop.
Starting point is 00:17:28 You'll say it out loud. All right, he deserves this shit. Oh, wow. And the next time you go looking for a little girl online. Nice. Get. I want you to remember at time you got bit by a snake. I like her a lot.
Starting point is 00:17:42 A snake in a white blouse whose face is a plain. This movie is already so fascinating. It respects the lore of the first one so far, and it's doing its own thing. Miss, miss, you left something in the theater. You want to leave me alone. Yeah. Yeah. Hi there.
Starting point is 00:18:13 You want to let me go. Oh, no, sweet. Oh, she's not susceptible to hypnosis. Damn. Does Danny, like, have to stop this whole thing and save them? Maybe that wasn't Violet at the beginning. They're all snatched up somewhere and part of the cult. Great shot.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Very cool. I can imagine someone like him who's gone through his experiences and has the clairvoyancy and the shine would be a major drinker. This music, so chilling. Very similar to the first one. Okay, make sure you guys don't do this. Oh. He's good.
Starting point is 00:19:06 That cake looks so good. It looks bon. The hell. Oh, is that... Oh. Well, they have all the, remember the ghosts playing in the... You know, maybe more ghosts? Dave.
Starting point is 00:19:19 What the shit. What the shit. Oh. I'm that is some wacky-wacky wild juice. This is a nice house, but Tara, it's time to move out. Okay, girl. Oh. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Chapter two. Empty Devils. That is a very, very nice motor home. You know, I checked. Six men in three months with those little snakebite tattoos on their cheeks. Good job, girl. Why, you've been busy. Hate pedophiles.
Starting point is 00:20:08 They're the worst. You're some crazy bitch you kidnapped me. Just the truth from now. You'll only speak the truth. The most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Oh. My God. Works a little too well, don't her?
Starting point is 00:20:20 Here's the deal. Damn. How old are you, darling? 15. 15? Oh, God, what an age. Damn. You're not a girl anymore, but you don't have a single bent yet either.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Hmm. Gravity hasn't even noticed you. Not at 15. Men, though. No, no, no, no shame. You paid that back, didn't you? Yep. That's what I'm offering you.

Starting point is 00:28:07 Five months, Chip, I'm pretty sure. Right, he was being sober. He hurt me once when he was drunk. He died when I was five. So the only way I got to know him when I went dark, when I, when I, when I drank, to, to dull the... Hmm. What if I wanted to break someone's face?
Starting point is 00:28:24 Oh, God. Drinking and the temper and the anger, those things in me were his. Well, now I, I get to know him a little different because he also stood in a room like this once, wanting to get well for me. If he didn't care, he wouldn't even have attempted. And he held, how to chip in his hand. That chip said five months.
Starting point is 00:28:42 And on, on that day, he, well, on that day, all he wanted in the world was to stand where I'm standing now. Hmm. And here I am. So thank you for us both, I guess. This is for Jack Torrance. Whoa. That was nice.

Starting point is 00:45:12 I have a bottle. You look better now. Why are you here? I'm here because it all comes round. Cars a wheel, doc. Yeah, remember when he told you he helped you out? How are you going to help a girl out? A little girl needs you.
Starting point is 00:45:23 These empty devil. ever found you when you was a tank yeah if they'd even sniffed you you'd be long dead thank god they didn't they're on the land like cancer on the skin once they rode camels in the desert once they drove caravans cross eastern europe they'd been around a good while they eat screams and drink pain yikes and they've noticed that little girl they might kill her then you'd have blood on your hands buddy or might keep her till she's all used up and that'd be worst of all that's their plan why me because she showed up hell doc why me you just walked on into my kitchen one day and i'm still look what the hell am i supposed to do help her idiota
Starting point is 00:46:11 get her what she asked for you won't see me again love the lighting right now in this is my last dream oh it seems to me you grew up fine son but you're still on a debt paid that man did a lot of good for you good on the world, too. I know you already have it. This hospice place, but do some more. I found something. How small can an earthquake be? Pretty small if the people of Richland Court assured Anderson Street that dead ends at the Sucker River to be believed. Several residents of the street reported a tremor that rattled windows, shook floors, and sent glassware tumbling on the shelves. Although the geological survey center read them reports, there were no timblers in New England last Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Someone with the shine did that, Abra? If that's actually her... Richland Court. She did that. She shook a whole street in New Hampshire. Having a place to actually focus on not just a town, but a street, is going to make things a hell of a lot easier for me tonight. Good catch.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Hope Danny finds her extremely quickly. How are you coming at her? Will she be asleep? No, just want to look around, see who she is. Had some suggestions, like... Let them borrow. A hundred worms. A better dear friends than not.
Starting point is 00:47:21 And when we roll up, she'll be so happy to... to see us, she'll just hop right in the van. If she did this? Mm-hmm. She's dangerous. She's not going to be really susceptible to you. I think you should be careful. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:35 She's a little girl. Yeah, but she's stronger than you, dude. She pushed you out of the friggin grocery store almost. I want them to underestimate her. And you are the queen bitch of all time. I know. Just saying, be careful. Don't be careful.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Die, die, die. Hey. Hey, Mom. You feeling okay? I thought I saw the ear. Things come out of her ear. I'm okay. Oh, now they're out. Just had rough day. Continuity. Yeah. I always notice those things.
Starting point is 00:48:04 I'm flying out to see Momo in the morning. I'll be back as soon as I can. Is she going to pull through this time? I hope so. Tell her I love her. Stay out of my head. We're going to push in. Great transition. That is so visually stunning. That shot.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Yeah, nice way to show us how she travels, what she's saying. Oh, my God. Oh, God, that's scary. And she now has a possible address. That is really bad. 1980 that's the year shining came out yeah wow cool wild that looks like her room keep sleeping princess

Starting point is 00:50:37 Damn. Dang. Oh! Back to the plane of existence. to the plane of existence. You got to get the fuck out of there. It was a trap. She was in my head.
Starting point is 00:50:53 What? Stealing. What does she know? I don't know. How much she seen? I don't know. Oh, God. I don't want that.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Don't want to see it, but I'm happy that it happened her. Did you say the grandpa died? I hurt her. I really hurt her. The best part is I got in her head. Yeah, you did, girl. Uncle Dan. You did good.
Starting point is 00:51:17 I love how active she is, and she's not a victim. She comes from a place of strength. Just talk to the kid. We're going to do this. Then let's do this. Use Tony. There we go. There we go.
Starting point is 00:51:33 Let's go. I can hear you. LFC. Sorry, Lurch. I don't understand. You will. I thought we lived forever. Does someone promise you that, Andy?
Starting point is 00:51:43 You were given a false. Promisey, kid. I said live long, eat well. We can live long, very long. Ugh. Are they about to eat him? Probably. We haven't been eating well.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Not for a long time. He's old, sound. Let's go, I guess. You're a good family member. I'm scared. You watched empires rise and fall, failed across ocean to new worlds. They were.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Myths of you and made statues look at the visuals here. Ooh. You're not scared. Very parallel and reminiscent to how Danny was trying to calm down people in hospice. Blow out that smoke, old man. Wild. Oh, my God. Holy crap.
Starting point is 00:52:49 Sucking it in, that was a lot of mist. I don't know what y'all are. Yeah, yeah, yeah, get it there. Just it. Eat it all up. You have a good sense about people. Is that fair to say? Yeah, I don't think I'm an honest, man.
Starting point is 00:53:01 A good man. I do, I do, dad. Yeah, man, he's known you for eight years. You're good. The first thing I need is if you to listen to a story and try harder than you've ever tried to believe me. It's going to be tough, but yeah, give it a trick. I would just show him a copy of the film The Shining.
Starting point is 00:53:14 I might believe that. This is so cool. Yeah, but I wanted to tag alone. She has really learned how to harness her power. We should get there tonight, late. Hopefully that's sent by it before the other cult group gets there. You should have seen her face. She was scared, Uncle Dan.
Starting point is 00:53:32 Scared like all those kids were scared. Plus you. Thank you. She was so mad and so scared that I got in. That was a new trick. I've never done that before. Yeah, me neither. What was it like?
Starting point is 00:53:41 Like a library. I guess we're all libraries and stuff. True. How'd you do it? Like this. Just a little push. Whoa. Wow, what a flashback.
Starting point is 00:53:54 At the Overlook Hotel? Yes. What were all those boxes? Nothing. Lyer. When I was a kid who I bumped into something like these things that ate like they do. Only I wasn't a person that was a place. They closed it down after let it rot.

Starting point is 01:03:37 Oh no! No! Hey! No! Oh! Damn it! Oh my god, what a C-U-N-T, dude. I didn't see the crow.
Starting point is 01:03:51 Where's the crow? Is he there? Who the... Oh! Damn it. Damn. Oh, God, this is not good. Do you have a gun?
Starting point is 01:04:09 Oh, he's got a Michael Myers butcher knife. Always tickles me watching you, Roops, threaten a god. You know, your little girl, she's maybe the best food we'll ever have. Have we seen his power? I'm so glad I had a chance to compliment the chef. What? Okay. He can probably just freeze him and get in his brain.
Starting point is 01:04:30 Oh, he killed him. Oh, shit! I like the dad, too. What happened to my dad? A lot of good people killed today. Love to tell you someone will pay some kind of justice raining down on the sad events today, but... Hmm. Don't work like that.
Starting point is 01:04:45 We were always gonna have you. Some of my people are dead. Some of yours are dead. Please hear me. Ain't nobody hearing you. She's really strong, though, so... Let's see. Oh, dude, this is not the time to hit the bottle.
Starting point is 01:05:02 I feel yet, but not now. now. Please. Come on, buddy. Tony, help you, please, Tony. Has he been eight years sober? Oh, no, don't do it, buddy. All right, there you go, buddy.
Starting point is 01:05:21 You're all right. Focus up. My brain was like a radio. Yep. No one's answering when you call, so stop calling. And just listen. Whoa. Hello.
Starting point is 01:05:38 Whoa. Holy shit. Whoa. Here we go. Going on to that other plane of existence. Hi. That was amazing. Did he drug you?
Starting point is 01:05:53 Yes. I'm so sorry. Smart not using her voice. I'm going to try something. Okay. Fuck, I feel hungover Oh, he's, he's doing it, yeah Told you, it's good shit
Starting point is 01:06:10 Love it I haven't felt hungover in years And you know, I don't miss it Not even a little Ah, oh, hell yeah Stand off the major routes Smart Cromville, New York
Starting point is 01:06:24 Oh, look at her eyes She's got Danny's eyes Who are you? I'm the guy that killed your friends It's nice to meet you dating interaction. I haven't seen this one before. Want to see one more?
Starting point is 01:06:37 Uh-oh. Is she going to do something? Uh-oh. Did she already take the gun? Did she already take the gun? I don't suppose Rose will be happy about any of this. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:49 Seems to me you know enough to know. You might want to sit this one out. Count your blessings. Go on your way. Hmm. What's so funny, friend? Well, it's just arrogance. It's arrogance, really.
Starting point is 01:07:03 But, Makes sense if you think you're gonna live forever. She really got down Danny's mannerisms. Of course you wouldn't wear your seatbelt. Oh, holy shit. Love it! There we all! Whoa, no!
Starting point is 01:07:15 Nice! Oh! Window! Safety first, guys. Always wear your seatbelts. I'm glad he didn't. Dan? Dan the man.
Starting point is 01:07:28 Dan. Oh, man. Where is he? Oh, that's just crow daddy. Ooh. Great effects. Really spooktacular. I hope that hurts.
Starting point is 01:07:46 Yes, you killed her dad. Bye-bye. Die-day. I hope Rose doesn't catch after her. I'm sure she will. Shit. Quite the duel. You little bitch.
Starting point is 01:08:07 Oh, wow. She's so pissed. Nice! She's like, that is a huge F you, dude. All right. She does not feel threatened by you in any way. You are nothing to her. Oh.
Starting point is 01:08:24 She's using up all her juice. All of it? What do you think, Tara? All of it? Of course. She has to. Yep, yep. Oh, she's using all of it.
Starting point is 01:08:32 Oh, shit. Or two of it. Ew. That's a lot. Okay, just two of it, I guess. At least that we saw. Product placement. Coca-Cola.
Starting point is 01:08:50 Anyone can understand. It's Uncle Dan. Didn't the mom say she was going to visit her sick mom or something like that? right and her mom said can you see if she's going to be okay oh yeah she did when they were in the bedroom where we go to tell her i said Colorado why Colorado the Overlook Hotel she's gonna keep coming oh so we got box her up always in the maze thing it's only ends if we end and I don't think we can beat her oh so we have to use all the ghosts there nice I like that there's a place she's dangerous for people like us we're going back to where it all began
Starting point is 01:09:29 Yeah, they're all real hungry Why would we go there? Well, it's dangerous for people like us Probably dangerous for us. Yeah, we got to get her in there. She's following us, you know? Yeah, good, let her. Problem is, she's way stronger than normal now
Starting point is 01:09:47 after she took those two canisters. It's my mom. What do I say to her? Dad's dead and I'm with Uncle Dan. Hi, Mom. Oh, thank God. You okay? Where are you? I love you.
Starting point is 01:09:59 Oh. Oh, girl, maybe say a few more worse. When we're safe, you'll call her and tell her way to find us. I will. Okay. That's what you say, I guess, right? I love you. I mean, I guess.
Starting point is 01:10:10 At least she knows she's safe. Yeah. I mean, she could have said, I, oh, Christ, all right. Threw it out the window. Not too much further up the mountain. Oh, it's snowing. We're getting snow, Tara. Might have to hop in a snow cat.
Starting point is 01:10:24 Let's see. Oh, the shot. That's the first movie. chapter six what was forgotten we saw it in the dark before yeah we saw it when it was more light outside oh nostalgic tingles though i guess nostalgic for us was a few days ago indeed a few days ago tingles so cool recreating this i truly had no idea we were going back here but plot-wise it makes sense I love it.
Starting point is 01:11:01 Okay, so we've gotta know where a snow cat is to get out, but somehow maybe keep her there long enough to know her in, or keep her in the maze. You're gonna stay in the car. She can only come from here. You see her a mile out easy. You see lights on the mountain over there. You blast me, okay?
Starting point is 01:11:18 But I don't want you going in, not until she's here. You weren't waiting with me? She's got to get the ghost ready. I have to wake it up. Yeah, exactly. The hotel with all the ghosts. It's like a living... things hotel
Starting point is 01:11:31 who do you think is the first one we're going to see in there the twins twins bartender mr. Grady the dad of the twins probably him fucking weird ass I wonder if you think we're gonna I know Jack Nicholson's not in this movie but do you think we're

God, he must be having so much PTSD right now just reading his face oh I thought we were about to see the twins oh where his dad struck and said here's Johnny holy crap here's Danny here's Danny oh that's the entrance to the room that's not where he said here's Johnny's where he was breaking in
Starting point is 01:12:53 Yeah, he was breaking in to get to get to the entrance of the room. Right. There is where he said, here's Johnny. Oh. Yep. Oh, God. Recreation with that actress. That was a really nice addition with his mom in this film.
Starting point is 01:13:20 Very, very good job. they get a look like bartender to be sitting there and he starts pouring him some bourbon whiskey I'm gonna lose it and he says no slow night Mr. Torrance oh I think you're right long I imagine you're a whiskey manor you know I was most of the time yep Tara they did it on the house that always is this was your brand Jack Daniels
Starting point is 01:13:50 I used to see the bottles in our home our real home before This hour? I smell warm ones. It smelled like something on fire, which I suppose it was. This isn't his dad, is it? I'm afraid you've confused me with someone else. It's Lloyd. Oh, it's his dad!
Starting point is 01:14:05 Holy shit! I apologize, Mr. Torrance. It's the E.T. kid. Is it? Oh, I know where they are. And you're right. He'll pick up. The way he was saying those lines was like, is this his dad he's talking to?
Starting point is 01:14:19 If you don't mind my saying, Mr. Torrance, you seem put upon. Put upon. Ain't that the way? Man, just living his life, trying to do his work. Yeah. Looks... He gets put upon. Looks pretty reminiscent.
Starting point is 01:14:32 So we lived in Florida. I'm sorry? Mom and I. I'm afraid I don't know who you mean. Ha, ha, ha, ha. We never wanted to see snow again. She lived in Florida. It's kind of like he's...
Starting point is 01:14:44 It was comfortable and we were happy. Getting closure in a creepy way. We were traumatized, but there was happiness, too. She would look away. She'd look at me, but she'd always look away. after a second or two. It took me a while to notice it, but after the overlook, she wouldn't look me in the eyes, not for long.
Starting point is 01:15:00 Hmm. Couldn't figure it out. It was you. Yeah. She saw your eyes in me. They always do. I get that. It tortured her to have to do that.
Starting point is 01:15:12 So I fixed it so that she wouldn't see you anymore when she looked at me. I was 20 when she died. When someone was gonna die, I saw flies. And in those last week, she was covered. Her whole... whole face i tried to comfort her i could hardly look at her and she saw that you just lay there dying with her son who couldn't look at her she was your wife i think you've mistaken me for someone else i'm just the bartender oh yeah just lloyd the bartender pouring joy at the overlook hotel
Starting point is 01:15:42 poor whatever you like mr torrance like he's in full control here this trickle costs an awful lot Your money's no good here Not talking about money It'll cost more than money It'll cost me eight years Yeah Eight behind me And who knows how many in front of me
Starting point is 01:15:59 Your credit is fine Mr. Torrance Throw the glass Get rid of it Man takes a drink The drink takes a drink And then the drink takes a man Can't remember that's the last in the first And it's so dead
Starting point is 01:16:10 That's just what happened in the first movie Medicine Medicine is what it is The mind is a blackboard And this Is the eraser Oh, he's coming back to crazy Jack. So he asks for one thing, just one thing for him to warm him up, take the sting out of those days of the mouths eating and eating and eating everything he makes, everything he has.

Yeah. She's here. Uh-oh. Oh, look at that.

Starting point is 01:18:30 Oh, a lot of blood in that elevator. Apparently it took them three days to film that or something like that. At least three long takes of doing it or something like that I read with Kubrick. Look how pleased she is by all this She's like in heaven right now That was a nice recreation I think it was mostly obviously CGI The other one was more practical
Starting point is 01:18:58 But it still looked good Ooh I have become my father Look at my axe Hi there Oh the tree When this starts Oh it's hello there
Starting point is 01:19:09 Run Yes you run dear Oh is the dad's typewriter. And then I will find you and you will scream for years until you die. We'll see who does the screaming.

Starting point is 01:20:24 Yeah, get it. You know, you remind me of myself. Damn. You've got a darkness in you, dear. I think the only difference between you and me is time. Dude, she's so good. No, the difference between you and her is that she's more powerful. She is.
Starting point is 01:20:45 I promise you, dear. Oh, you'd be surprised. Are she about to unleash those two canister powers? Oh, no. Ouch. Oh, shit. Come on, girl. Where's Danny?
Starting point is 01:20:58 This isn't your mind, is it? This isn't you at all. It's Danny's. Oh, they're putting her in a box. Oh, no. Damn. Run. We tried.
Starting point is 01:21:12 Damn, that was a good plan, though. You and I should have met years ago. I don't know. You're one crazy bitch. Well, something happens to the steam when you moves get older. It weakens. I see the grease all over you. You don't shine quite the same.
Starting point is 01:21:28 Growing up spoils that, I guess. Don't swing that acts like your mom, dude. I can make you an offer. An offer I rally make. I mean, the bat. Ah. She was swinging back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. No, no, no, you were right about that.
Starting point is 01:21:42 You could live a long, long time. Live well, too. Indulge yourself. No consequences. Oh, boy. Hangovers. Eat, wow. This is just like jack walking up to the mom.
Starting point is 01:21:54 I like wish that you were just like, I mean, the last one in the world. Sweetie, I'm not the last. Far from it. I'm just the prettiest. I assume you know my answer. Hell no. So are we doing this or not?

Starting point is 01:24:04 Her in- Oh, is he like his dad now? Yeah. Oh, he's literally turned into his dad. Ah, bruh. Oh, please tell me that's not two, three, seven. Shit. Oh, boy. Just don't go to the bathtub.

Starting point is 01:24:48 The face you're wearing He's so strong Danny Dan Torrance made one stop as soon as he got here To the boiler room Whoa Oh wow You were supposed to run. I didn't want to leave you.
Starting point is 01:25:03 Aw, good girl. I'm not going anywhere without you. I have to close the door behind us, right? Run, run! Yeah, turn that shit off. No, he's going to turn it up. Blow it up, you mean? Let's blow this hotel up.
Starting point is 01:25:27 Oh, maybe not. He might go get Abra. Oh, uh-oh, yeah, it looks like it's gonna blow up. Oh, Danny, please get out of there. Oh, his mom? Yeah. She can look him in the eyes again. Wow, what an image.
Starting point is 01:25:54 Get out of there. Yes, please get out of there. The fire spread fast, destroying the hotel. Damn. I could almost hear it screaming. Explain this to the cops or her mom. Deep inside, I knew. I knew you were okay.
Starting point is 01:26:09 Oh, thank God. I'm sorry, I put you in danger. It was the only way. Standing on that leg, okay. Do you think she was right when she said she wasn't the last one? The world's a hungry place. Yeah. I told you, when I first met you, I told you that you should hide, that you should keep your head down.
Starting point is 01:26:25 But now you should, you should shine. Keep your shine out of sight. Always show your shine. But I was wrong. shine on Aberstone you shine on dinner's ready oh
Starting point is 01:26:38 that's so breath that makes sense now I was able to stand on the leg I know the mom's gonna be devastated but be nice maybe if in a couple years when she's ready to date maybe she could go out with Dan that's not true I was talking to Dan she believes it now oh yeah she knows we go on
Starting point is 01:26:56 after we go on and he's okay so's daddy he really is I'm so sorry about the dad. I didn't even realize the butcher knife the dad had was the exact one. Wendy had against Jack in the first movie. You're coming, sweetheart. In a minute.
Starting point is 01:27:12 What the hell? Put her in a box. Yeah, it's going to be a nice haulback. Probably just close the door and then we don't. Oh, like Danny had to do with her? She puts her in a box. Screaming. Wow.
Starting point is 01:27:26 All right, guys. We just got done watching Doctor Asleep. Thank you to Prepper for helping edit down these highlights. Super appreciate you. Also, if you're on the YouTube, like, comment, subscribe when you do. Ring the bell. Ring the bell. Also, follow the rage pod if you want to listen to my new podcast.
Starting point is 01:27:48 Do you have anything to tell the people, Andrew, before we get started with our patron questions? I have so much to tell the people, but I'm going to do it when we answer the questions. But I could also do some quick thoughts? What do you think? What should we do? You're the host. You tell me, Tara. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:28:03 Give them your quick thoughts. I thought this was such an incredible sequel. It really, as I pointed out in real time during the reaction, it pays homage and respect. It does what a good sequel should always do, Tara. It pays respect and homage to the original while still doing its own thing and not feeling like it is doing a shot-for-shot recreation. I know that's more reboot and all that, but still, like, it really, I could. to watch this movie and had no
Starting point is 01:28:32 idea if I had not even seen the shine like oh yeah this is part of the shining it just felt like its own thing and I really and I thought the storyline was really satisfying to watch while the exploration of the characters was fascinating
Starting point is 01:28:46 in its own right like watching the trauma of Danny from the original film that kid's life would be it makes sense where when we start the film that this man is an alcoholic he's got severe PTSD and he's got crazy amount of trauma from what he not only what his dad tried to do to him but the crazy shit he saw in that hotel as well
Starting point is 01:29:07 as just to having the clairvoyancy or the shine as well so i thought that the exploration of his character was the way we work throughout the film and the way his character is able to have an arc and a purpose i thought it was so masterfully done i don't want to get too much because i want to answer the questions and then i thought rebecca ferguson was incredible performance she was extremely sadistic she was extremely scary and she did a phenomenal job of giving the threat level you want to feel in an antagonist when you watch that type of character while also like being mesmerizing at the same point in terms of their performance like you don't like the character but you understand perspective on the why why is she doing this she has a niche for
Starting point is 01:29:54 I guess, or niche, whatever you want to say, and also because this is allowing her to live a lot longer. So it makes total sense from her perspective, and I love the character of Abra, not only from the power level, I love how stoic and confident
Starting point is 01:30:10 and courageous and the strength she provides throughout the film, like never once wincing or being scared, like such an incredibly grounded character. This was awesome, and I loved her chemistry and her interactions with Danny. It was so incredible to
Starting point is 01:30:26 watch as well. So yeah, really incredible film. It was not it. I really didn't know what to expect because the shining is, you know, this is recency bias. That's one of my favorite reactions on this channel. It might be top ten favorite horror films.
Starting point is 01:30:42 And this is right up. This is, this was incredible. I really, really loved it. Do you have quick thoughts? Definitely a great film about pain, trauma, healing. That's like at the depth of we didn't see a lot of healing in the first one. They paid a great homage to it.
Starting point is 01:30:58 But also, it's really great pacing for a three-hour movie. I don't say that about a lot of films. And this was three hours in like five minutes. Still very engaging. Just like the first one, you know, two hours flies by. This one, they still did a really, really good job with. You didn't really feel the time. And that's, I think, the biggest task is that if you're going to give us a cut, that's three hours,
Starting point is 01:31:22 it better not feel that way. And I don't think that it did. So I think they did a good job. For sure. Let's go to our first question. Jaden Rhodes. I love this movie. Even as amazing as older Danny Torrance.
Starting point is 01:31:32 What I really find interesting is that Mike Flanagan told Stephen King before making this movie. He was going to try to make it a blend of a sequel to the movie and the book, which I think was the best move they could do. But I'm curious, do you all think this movie is on par with the shining? Or do you all think this, do you all think that the other one out shines? Also, Rebecca Ferguson puts it all in. puts in an all-timer villain performance. I mean, we just mentioned, or I just mentioned it. I think The Shining is only seen it once, of course, recently here,
Starting point is 01:32:05 is one of the greatest horror films I've ever seen, the psychologicalness of that film, and the performance from Jack Nicholson is one of the best performances I've ever seen from anyone. That was amazing. And Shelley Duvall, she was amazing in that film, the score, the direction by Stanley Kubrick, the acting from the little boy
Starting point is 01:32:25 who played Danny. I think it was Danny Lloyd was the actor's name. Everything in that film is pretty much perfect. And when you talk about a horror film building up suspense, this one was amazing too. I don't want to play the comparison which one was better. I just think they really
Starting point is 01:32:41 ebb and flow beautifully together. I think it's, I think this is a perfect sequel, seriously. In terms of, as I just pointed out, that it's doing its own thing while respecting the first one, and it's still a very competently made film that you could
Starting point is 01:32:57 literally isolate it on its own, not have it have anything to do with the first one, and it's just a great film. And I think that's the beauty of this film. It's got great performances from all the actors. The visual effects are scary as hell when they're, like, turning into dust and the smoke, and then they
Starting point is 01:33:13 suck up all the soul, the soul juice, or whatever the hell it's called. There's so many great different facets of layers that's going on in this film. So I, and I think Tara also said it best it's a three-hour film I did not feel any drag at all I was immersed and engaged
Starting point is 01:33:31 the entire time and if you can do that on a three-hour movie because I've watched movies that have been an hour and a half long and I'm like this feels like four hours so pacing is such a very important thing and you can tell this was deliberate that they wanted this to be three hours long because they had a story to tell
Starting point is 01:33:47 they had characters to explore and they did not let one minute of frame go to waste, everything was important that they needed to show, and the pacing was beautiful in this film. What about you? I think it's definitely on par with the shining.
Starting point is 01:34:02 I'm not sure, because you're mentioning that they said they're going to bring in the book in the movie. Since I haven't read the book, I don't know what parts, obviously, that were added. If they were, you know, any parts that I do think that we saw, they were added in the right way
Starting point is 01:34:17 because they didn't, like, drag it time-wise, which is a plus. So I would be curious to see. see, you know, what, if Stephen King even had thoughts of like, if he liked it or not or whatnot, because we do know that he, you know, he very much hated the first film. Flanagan is not true. I don't think, you know, Flanagan would be like, oh, all hail Stephen King and let's make him happy.
Starting point is 01:34:42 I think he's just saying, hey, I'm going to pay like homage tribute to the book as well as the first film. I think he did a great job. obviously Ferguson does do a really great villain job she's she's a badass so not surprised amazing all right from Jay hi Tara and Andrew by the way thank you for being a royal reject Jane for asking a question we appreciate you hi Tara and Andrew
Starting point is 01:35:04 hi Jay do you think Dr. Sleep works better as a story about healing from trauma or as a battle between light and darkness I always felt Danny's gift wasn't just the shining it was his burden and his redemption what do you think the film was really about at its Oh, you could go ahead. Take it. I think it's both. It's definitely about healing after the events
Starting point is 01:35:25 of the first film, and we see at the very beginning, Danny is a drunk, he's dealing with trauma, and he then when he goes to the hospice care, he finds his purpose in helping those who are literally about to pass away, who are alone and are very scared to die in their last moments.
Starting point is 01:35:40 He's showing them comfortness and happiness in their final moments, and this is about healing and redemption for him. And also, too. His own mother was so scared to be around him, not because she was afraid of him, of course. He did nothing wrong, but just the look in his eyes reminded him of his father and what his father tried to do to them. And that's awful for a child to have to grow up after the experience that they already had gone through. And then you talk about the light and the darkness, like it's ingrained
Starting point is 01:36:13 in him. Yes, he's got the shine in him. He's also got a bit of his dad in him too, and he's got to keep that darkness out of him. And I think that scene where he was in the bar with his dad in the shining in the gold room, excuse me, I think was such a beautiful symbolic representation of Danny being the light and able to always keep the darkness. Even though there were times where the darkness somewhat crept in when he was drunk and all that,
Starting point is 01:36:41 he's always been able to keep more of the light within him. I think the film is definitely both to me. What about you? think it does a really good oh thanks i think it really zooms in um from the perspective of everybody has a darkness within them let go of the shining everybody is human and fights on the daily between the light and the dark right you're all we're all trying to sure we're all trying to get over the burdens through everyday life but also redeem yourselves if you make mistakes i think it just puts it all into perspective, like, regardless of the shining, everyone is fighting
Starting point is 01:37:25 something, and specifically our lead character in this movie really does show us the healing part and how he really did overcome it. Luckily, we saw him get to almost breaking two times, and he chose not to, which is great. Obviously, yeah, straight up to A. Recovery, but That's just like a symbol for really anyone choosing to move on from a burden that may be hard to tackle in life, whether or not you have the shining or if you're a medium in life, which most people are not. We're just human. So I think it, you know, at the core of this, this is a great horror film that's paying much to the shining and adding another story on top of that. But I do think it's highlighting, you know, pain and trauma and also how do we come out? of that, and to see that in a lead character that's had a lot of trauma is nice. It gives people hope.
Starting point is 01:38:27 Definitely. Mark Leach, I love this movie. I may be the minority, but I actually prefer it to The Shining. I'm curious about your opinions. My question is, are there any horror film sequels that you think either are as good, if not better, than the original? Mark, I don't think that is like a crazy thing to make. The Shining is one of the most hailed, you know, proclaimed horror films of all times.
Starting point is 01:38:48 but, dude, it's all subjective. You're allowed to have whatever opinion of yours that you want, so I'm glad you express that. I think it's an amazing film, so you have every right to feel that way. In regards to what is one of the best horror film sequels, I'm just trying to think. Now, I think Scream has, all the Scream franchise has had a slew of amazing.
Starting point is 01:39:09 I think just about all of them are pretty incredible. I don't really hate any of them, to be quite honest. You can say, okay, this one's a little bit weaker than that one. Mm-hmm. I think scream two, scream one's my favorite. Hands down. Have you guys done the scream front?
Starting point is 01:39:24 You haven't? So I won't say any spoilers. I'm just going to talk about numbers and what I like. I will say scream one is my favorite by far. But I think scream two, it's not, it's not as beloved to me as the first one, but it's pretty damn close.
Starting point is 01:39:39 I think it's a phenomenal sequel. It plays on the tropes of the first one in a good way. And once again, like I pointed out in this film, does a lot of great shit on its own as well. And I freaking love Screamt too so much. It's by far my second favorite. And I think it's a phenomenal sequel.
Starting point is 01:39:56 So I would probably just off the top of my head without thinking about other horror sequels, I'd go with Scream 2. So I'm sure at this point, if you guys haven't checked out the podcast with me and Roxy, where we rank all the Halloween movies, you will see that we did rank 2018's Halloween over the first one. So, you know, there's, there's, and when we were discussing it, we were like, yeah, we feel like on a daily basis, this might change, which it probably would if we're, you know, constantly rewatching the movies, but we're not.
Starting point is 01:40:34 We just watched all 13 for the first time. So we just landed in certain places after, you know, discussing it and really just basing it off how we felt. I do think that this movie, like I'd already said before, it's good pacing, had a great tone, paid really great homage to it. The fact that the hotel and all of the similarities bringing back the older characters, I think that that's why it's not surprising
Starting point is 01:41:00 if there's more people like you, Mark Leach, that are like, oh, I prefer this one over the original one. Because I don't think that it's like, oh, holy actual shite, that's so, different it's like no they're they're both really great films um i do think that because of the original aspect of the the shining that i would maybe put that one first but i probably have to rewatch to actually let you know and then i would also say just really quickly i would also say nightmare in elm street three the dream warriors i love that movie west craven's new nightmare
Starting point is 01:41:36 sorry we're sticking with freddie kruger films here i think those two films are incredible sequels. I know the West Craven's New Nightmare is more meta than an actual Freddy Krueger film, but still Freddy Krueger. Those two are great. All right, from Jay Rushden. What up, Jay? Question. What is your take on the
Starting point is 01:41:57 director's cut and the flashback there? I'm guessing the flashbacks and the fact. I don't know the differences between the... The thing is, we didn't watch a theatrical. We only watched the director's cut, so we don't really have a lot of insight to that. I would say next time, If you know the differences, let us know and say, hey, what was, you know, you're watching the directors.
Starting point is 01:42:18 If you didn't see the theatrical, here's what they added. And then we would be able to let you know. Craig Smith, would Aaron or Tara stay the winter in a hotel, either by themselves or the family? I think you mean, Andrew. Andrew, you're handsome, says Craig. Tara, you're beautiful. Appreciate you. Love you guys.
Starting point is 01:42:38 Keep it the good work. High five's hugs to everyone. For me, okay, he probably met from me. Okay. And I also assume you meant in that hotel. That specific hotel? I assume that's what he means. Hell no.
Starting point is 01:42:58 Yeah. Hell no. That hotel with all those ghosts and shit, hell no. With that old lady in the bathtub, nope. Nope. Not doing it. Yeah. Hell no.
Starting point is 01:43:09 And if I'm going to stay in a winter host. I'm pot that it doesn't have ghosts and spirits how long we talking about Craig I need more specifics here because that I'll do that's not haunted or shit but I need specifics on times because if we're talking October 31st to May 4th or 5th nope what about you you did just ask if we would stay in a hotel in the winter and yes I would what I say at that specific hotel which is what I think you meant no how about not that specific hotel but a different one that's not haunted from October 31st to May 4th or 5th and you get one or two of your friends, yes or no.
Starting point is 01:43:44 For eight months, though. Nope. Jay, director Mike Flynnigan actually recreated the entire overlook set from scratch, making Stanley Cooper's shining using original blueprints and frame-by-frame references. Actors Rebecca Ferguson, who played Rosa Hat, trained in meditation and breathwork
Starting point is 01:44:05 to help her stay calm while filming the psychic battle scene. She said it helped her channel Rose's stillness before the storm. The movie includes a blink and you miss it cameo of Danny Lloyd, the original Danny Torrance from The Shining, 1980. He plays a spectator at the baseball game.
Starting point is 01:44:22 His first on-screen appearance in nearly 40 years. The baseball game is, okay, next time, oh, later on tonight when I get back home, I'm going to just check out that scene on YouTube or something, and I'm going to see who he was on that scene. Is it for sure confirmed that that kid was Elliot
Starting point is 01:44:38 who played Jack Torrance? I can look it up I'll read the last one You're probably right Because there were moments I'm like he looks like Elliot Even though I haven't seen that film Like 32 33 years
Starting point is 01:44:50 Right I could probably re-react it Because I don't remember much Other than the moon being in the background But thank you for the trivia Jay we appreciate you All right last one here for the trivia From Craig Smith
Starting point is 01:45:02 At the end of the Shining novel Which came out in 1977 The Hotel is Destroyed by a boiler explosion, something that the Shining film omitted. Also, one of many things Stephen King's did not like about the film. Stephen King co-wrote the screenplay for Dr. Sleep. I imagine that's why the explosion was included in the movie. Thank you for sharing that, Craig.
Starting point is 01:45:28 I got to imagine if he co-wrote this film, he probably liked a lot more than The Shining, is my guest, Tara. Yeah, I was right, Henry Thomas. You did go. Tara, you did real good. But I got, while you're tough. You guys are like,
Starting point is 01:45:42 I don't call anything. I literally looked at it for two seconds and I was like, that's the guy for me, too. So you're welcome. Tara, you did great. Hold on.
Starting point is 01:45:51 I want to look up one thing. Do you have anything else to add before we close this on? This was obviously a great film. I'm happy to see that trivia. I guess like Stephen King's like, finally I get my parts of my book in here, which, It's great. I like the explosion in the movie.
Starting point is 01:46:10 So, yeah, I loved it. I think they did a great job with this film. Absolutely. Agree. This is a phenomenal sequel. So critics, I think, are like 80, and the audience is probably like in 84? She is good today. Very close.
Starting point is 01:46:26 So you said 80 and 84. It was 78 and 89. You were really close on both. 89 is great. Yeah. That's very good. I'm glad that you that a lot of people liked this film. Good stuff.
Starting point is 01:46:38 Yeah. You have any last thoughts before we get out of here? No, just incredible sequel. What a follow-up. I'm interested to know the scenes that they recreated from the original with the different actors. Like, I get the ones that are the new scenes, of course, where they use the different actors. That I probably get. Yeah, yeah, you mean the recreated.
Starting point is 01:46:56 Yeah, but the old scenes, I'm curious why they didn't just use stock footage. I'm wonder if that's like, I'm just curious what happened there, why they weren't a lot. Is it a rights thing? They're not allowed to? Or they just, we're just going to use the actors. So just it feels like more contemporary with the present time that we're in with these actors.
Starting point is 01:47:14 So I'm just curious. It's also coloring, like matching the shots. Yeah, I get that. I get it, but I'm just interested. I don't know. He's probably written somewhere. Yeah. So we can find out. You guys can also leave it in the comments.
Starting point is 01:47:27 We love you guys for joining us. Don't forget to comment. Tell us how cool we are. We will see you on the next one. Thank you.
