The whole segment, as transcribed
They specifically requested 217 wasn't in this. Changed it to 237. And now 217 is their most requested room by people by Chris Ryan. He's like, put me in the shining room. Classic. Classic nerd culture. Apex Mountain. Shelley Duvall. Yeah. Yeah. No? Nashville? Nashville. Yeah. Nashville. Maybe Annie Hall. There's like times when people saw her on screen in the 70s and they're like, who is that? I got to put her in my movie. Now, like, did she get to do whatever she wanted after The Shining? Like, did it get- She got Popeye. Yeah. She probably already had Popeye. Yeah. Okay. It could be Shelley Duvall. But you're pissed off. Jesus. It's bitter because we're taking it. The treasurer of the Shelley Duvall fan society, Bill Simmons. Caretakers? Yeah. Nice moment for them. Caretakers. Where was it like, what is this? The best caretaker movie? Yeah. This movie is a tough look for Airbnb, I feel like, in general. You know? Careful about letting a stranger into your home. They may destroy it and kill their family. Apex Mountain for bartenders named Lloyd. Axe murderers? No. No? I feel like it's slasher. I think so I married an axe murderer. Yeah, that's true. It's definitely not for Nicholson. It's definitely not for Kubrick. Unless Sean disagrees. No. He definitely didn't put his career in a better place. I would say 2001 is. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. Other than that, I don't really have anything. Pick a nets. Yes. Boy, Danny's neck bruises sure cleared up fast, didn't they? Man. These things just went right away. It's a good note. Huge red splotches and scratches. Gone immediately. But if you believe that there's something, like a haunting, happening in this hotel, maybe it did go away. Okay. Are we doing ghost logic? Why didn't Danny get cold in the maze? Four degree weather just bouncing off him? A maze? Yeah. Also, maybe a little healthier than his dad. Okay. Not carrying around all that white man's burden. So, Stuart tells Jack during the job interview this story about a previous caretaker named Charles Grady, who in 1970 succumbed to cabin fever, murdered his family, killed himself. Jack later means Grady. Mm-hmm. He says his name's Delbert Grady. Mm-hmm. Not Charles Grady. Mm-hmm. And Nicholson's like, ah, Delbert Grady? Did you have a little problem with your family once upon a time? But earlier, the guy said it was Charles Grady. Yeah. So, why the two Grady's? So, this is, I mean, this is a huge point of debate among people in their readings of the movie, whether or not it's the same person, whether there are doubles, whether there's, like, you know, what that means. That scene is so incredible. So, did you notice that Bill pitched it, like, why the two orders? Why the two Grady's? Why the two Grady's? Why the two Grady's? So, the theory that I... You cut these guys loose! So, the theory is, you're coming back, you're reincarnated as a different piece, and the catch would be, like, the name Grady, the name Jack. So, when we see Jack at the end of 1921, his name's not Jack Torrance, it's, like, Jack Wilder. And that they're all servants of the house in some ways, that this structure somehow is, like, in command. So, there's a Grady, there's a Jack. Right, so on and so on. What did you think of that? I haven't really looked too much into it. It's just, I tend to think that the movie is about, like, a cursed, haunted building, and that there's a lot of inconsistencies with who represents what.
