Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hallucinogenic drugs, hypnosis, electric shocks to the brain, some of
- 0:07Speaker 1: the methods used in secret CIA mind control experiments.
- 0:11Speaker 2: There are many theories as to what the shining is
- 0:14Speaker 2: really about, from the faking of the moon landing to
- 0:17Speaker 2: Native American genocide and the Holocaust.
- 0:20Speaker 3: Now, if he did fake the apology in that thing,
- 0:22Speaker 3: then he probably has really deep connections into the intelligence world.
- 0:28Speaker 3: Why are there these gigantic continuity airors in this movie?
- 0:32Speaker 4: The occulted meaning has to be comprehensible. It's just hidden,
- 0:36Speaker 4: usually in a very systematic way, so that it could
- 0:40Speaker 4: be understood by someone coming along later on who knows
- 0:43Speaker 4: what the real meaning is supposed to be.
- 0:45Speaker 2: We believe that there's something even more sinister lurking beneath
- 0:50Speaker 2: the surface of this Master Hotel.
- 0:52Speaker 3: So Lookout Mountain Hotel looked a lot like the Overlook Hotel.
- 0:57Speaker 5: You realize that there's no such thing as coincidive season like.
- 1:01Speaker 2: That as Lookout Mountain studios ran by the Air Force
- 1:05Speaker 2: and told the story of nuclear weapons testing by the
- 1:08Speaker 2: United States of the.
- 1:10Speaker 6: Army Navan Air Force.
- 1:12Speaker 7: The Air Force was.
- 1:13Speaker 8: Known to be the most.
- 1:15Speaker 6: Excited, the most turned on by MK Ultra and its prospects.
- 1:19Speaker 5: Reportedly, there were more films made at Lookout Mounted than
- 1:24Speaker 5: at all the other film studios in Hollywood.
- 1:28Speaker 3: We really don't know that these famous film directors were
- 1:31Speaker 3: being recruited for what project or whatever was it?
- 1:34Speaker 5: The mood Landing.
- 1:39Speaker 2: The CIA's MK Ultra programs were admitted to the public
- 1:43Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy five, five years before the release of
- 1:47Speaker 2: The Shining.
- 1:48Speaker 5: These experiments were done without the informed consent of the patients.
- 1:53Speaker 6: Look at some UFO cases and the things that are
- 1:56Speaker 6: reported tells me that MK ultra is likely being applied.
- 2:01Speaker 9: In my MK ultra mind control experience, I was taken
- 2:05Speaker 9: to various military, NASA and DARPA installations for sophisticated mind
- 2:11Speaker 9: control programming.
- 2:16Speaker 5: Woke Disney, Marilyn Monroe, James Stewart, Carry Grant, Ronald Reagan.
- 2:23Speaker 5: Nobody really knows what they were doing.
- 2:25Speaker 9: Up there, as well as high ranking military and Department
- 2:28Speaker 9: of Defense personnel.
- 2:29Speaker 3: But people don't realize is that many of the people
- 2:32Speaker 3: that worked with Kubrick also worked with Kennedy. This is
- 2:36Speaker 3: actually the smoking gun proving that Kubrick was working.
- 2:39Speaker 7: With the government.
- 2:41Speaker 5: These were all CIA sponsored experiments. I said I'm not
- 2:46Speaker 5: gonna hurt you. I'm just gonna bash your brains. And
- 2:50Speaker 5: I'm putting little symbolic critic clues and Easter eggs pertaining
- 2:56Speaker 5: to the fact that they're still doing it.
- 2:58Speaker 2: These clues include a hidden swastika in the background of
- 3:03Speaker 2: the boardroom.
- 3:04Speaker 9: What was the set up? What it was being told?
- 3:07Speaker 9: And realized that it was a lie all along?
- 3:11Speaker 5: But right there in the narrative, in the dialogue, they're
- 3:14Speaker 5: telling you that this was a very real program coming
- 3:18Speaker 5: out of those nice folks at the CIA.
- 3:36Speaker 8: Here's Johnny, So, welcome back to Good Vibrations, and my
- 3:47Speaker 8: guests today are the guys behind a documentary film which
- 3:53Speaker 8: has been doing the rounds on Amazon Prime for a
- 3:56Speaker 8: few days now.
- 3:57Speaker 5: Some listeners or viewers may have seen it already. One
- 4:00Speaker 5: of my guests I've spoken to before many many years ago,
- 4:04Speaker 5: and the other one is the first time on Good Vibrations.
- 4:07Speaker 5: So it's Jay Widner and Ryder Lee. Who are the
- 4:10Speaker 5: individuals behind the documentary A clockwork Shining gents.
- 4:14Speaker 7: Welcome, Hey, thanks for having us, cool, thanks for having us.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Mark really appreciate her brother.
- 4:20Speaker 5: No worries. So what are your official job titles on
- 4:24Speaker 5: this documentary, one of you is executive producer and the
- 4:27Speaker 5: other one is the main producer and director. Is that right?
- 4:31Speaker 7: Well?
- 4:31Speaker 3: I wrote and produced and writer, directed and edited it.
- 4:34Speaker 3: We have kind of the roles that we figured out
- 4:36Speaker 3: when we did our last film, JFKX, and.
- 4:42Speaker 7: It works out.
- 4:43Speaker 3: He's a really good director, a really good editor, and
- 4:47Speaker 3: I'm the kind of guy that likes to write in
- 4:49Speaker 3: a quiet room and figure everything out before we start shooting.
- 4:53Speaker 7: So it worked out really well.
- 4:54Speaker 5: Sure, So did you reach out to Jay Ryder having
- 4:58Speaker 5: seen is Kubrick's Odyssey? Is that the way this worked?
- 5:02Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the way that it worked. I had watched
- 5:04Speaker 2: a lot of Jay's films. He's been producing movies for
- 5:08Speaker 2: a really long time, and I was bringing him on
- 5:10Speaker 2: my show to do an interview, and I wanted to
- 5:13Speaker 2: watch his content that he had done before. And I
- 5:16Speaker 2: was just rewatching The Shining over and over and over
- 5:18Speaker 2: again to prepare for this interview with Jay. And I'm like,
- 5:22Speaker 2: is there anything that I'm going to be able to
- 5:23Speaker 2: find in this movie that people have never seen before?
- 5:26Speaker 2: And I'd found a few things, and I'm presenting this
- 5:30Speaker 2: to Jay on our show together. He was like, yeah,
- 5:34Speaker 2: that makes a lot of sense. And then a few
- 5:36Speaker 2: months later I hit him up and I was like, Jay,
- 5:38Speaker 2: we need to make a documentary about this, because I
- 5:41Speaker 2: don't think anyone has ever seen the things that I'm
- 5:44Speaker 2: seeing in this movie in the theory that I have.
- 5:47Speaker 2: And he was like, yeah, we should, and I was
- 5:50Speaker 2: like cool. And then we actually decided to do another
- 5:53Speaker 2: movie before this movie, which I'm really glad that we
- 5:56Speaker 2: did because I was able to cut my teeth on
- 5:59Speaker 2: that film, which is also up on Amazon Prime Free
- 6:03Speaker 2: v jfk X, and that's kind of how it went.
- 6:08Speaker 2: And I'm really happy that we did that first film
- 6:11Speaker 2: before this one because this one is really a passion
- 6:13Speaker 2: project and it's There's been several people that have watched
- 6:19Speaker 2: this so far and they're like, they're kind of mind
- 6:21Speaker 2: blown by how much information is in it. And Mark,
- 6:25Speaker 2: you've seen it so far, what did you think of it?
- 6:29Speaker 2: Did you like it? Well, you're in it.
- 6:31Speaker 5: Right right, Yeah, it's amazing. It's I really love the
- 6:35Speaker 5: final cut, And as you say, there's so much information
- 6:38Speaker 5: in it, and what people are going to find interesting
- 6:41Speaker 5: is that there's information that's never previously been presented. So
- 6:44Speaker 5: I would say maybe you agree with me that Stanley
- 6:47Speaker 5: Kubrick is the most analyzed film director in movie history,
- 6:52Speaker 5: and I would say that of his films, The Shining
- 6:54Speaker 5: is the most analyzed film. So you can go on
- 6:58Speaker 5: YouTube and you could be there for hours just trawling
- 7:01Speaker 5: through all these videos that people are uploaded with what
- 7:05Speaker 5: they consider to be their decode of what's in The Shining,
- 7:08Speaker 5: and it's just incredible that over four decades on, there's
- 7:12Speaker 5: still information that's never been presented before which appears to
- 7:16Speaker 5: be lurking beneath the surface narrative. So that's what your
- 7:20Speaker 5: film is all about, and you believe that you've found
- 7:22Speaker 5: a narrative that nobody else has commented on before. I
- 7:26Speaker 5: loved your line in it Rider where you say The
- 7:30Speaker 5: Shining is considered one of the greatest horror movies of
- 7:33Speaker 5: all time, but is it really a horror movie? And
- 7:36Speaker 5: I think that's the key to what you consider to
- 7:39Speaker 5: be the decode that you've taken away from this.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Yeah, and I would like to get J's opinion on
- 7:44Speaker 2: this as well, because I had one percent I think
- 7:47Speaker 2: the video would agree with me in this statement and
- 7:49Speaker 2: saying that if The Shining was released today in today's time,
- 7:54Speaker 2: it would not be considered a horror film. It would
- 7:57Speaker 2: be more of a psychological thriller because really nothing happens
- 8:01Speaker 2: in this entire movie until the last thirty minutes of
- 8:04Speaker 2: the movie.
- 8:04Speaker 5: One person dies in the entire film.
- 8:07Speaker 7: That's it.
- 8:07Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was thinking about that the other day.
- 8:11Speaker 3: So Kubrick's got this a horror movie that he's making,
- 8:15Speaker 3: and he realizes after reading the book that nobody dies
- 8:20Speaker 3: in the book, and so he had to solve that problem.
- 8:25Speaker 3: And I think he solved it by having an hour
- 8:28Speaker 3: and being killed. But you think about it, Jack doesn't
- 8:32Speaker 3: kill anybody in the book.
- 8:33Speaker 7: They're Shining.
- 8:37Speaker 5: It's weird.
- 8:37Speaker 2: Yeah, It's one of those movies that's kind of like,
- 8:40Speaker 2: what is really going on here? And I think that's
- 8:43Speaker 2: been the whole thing about this movie since the very beginning.
- 8:46Speaker 2: People are just puzzled by all of the continuity errors
- 8:50Speaker 2: that's in the movie, which we point out all of
- 8:52Speaker 2: the ones that I know about within the movie at
- 8:54Speaker 2: Clockwork Shining. There's several of them, and people have been,
- 8:58Speaker 2: you know, kind of racking their brain, like why are
- 9:01Speaker 2: there are so many continuity errors in this movie? Because
- 9:04Speaker 2: Stanley Kubrick is a perfectionist, you know, he made sure
- 9:08Speaker 2: that everything was right. And this movie has probably the
- 9:10Speaker 2: most continuity errors out of any movie ever, and there's
- 9:14Speaker 2: several of them. The sticker disappearing on Danny's door, the
- 9:17Speaker 2: carpet changing in the hallway when Danny stands up before
- 9:19Speaker 2: he goes in the room two thirty seven, the chair
- 9:22Speaker 2: disappearing behind Jack, light switches that will just disappear in
- 9:26Speaker 2: one shot and then later on they'll be there or
- 9:28Speaker 2: vice versa. And one of the ones that I kind
- 9:33Speaker 2: of forgot about, which is really interesting, is because the
- 9:38Speaker 2: external shots of the hotel and the overlook hotel within
- 9:42Speaker 2: the Shining where some of them were shot at Timberline
- 9:44Speaker 2: Lodge in Oregon, and those first establishing shots of the hotel,
- 9:51Speaker 2: there's you don't see a maze in the background. There's
- 9:54Speaker 2: not a maze in behind the hotel, but then later
- 9:56Speaker 2: on there is a maze. So it's like all these
- 10:00Speaker 2: things are happening. And we don't really precisely say in
- 10:04Speaker 2: this movie, this documentary that we made, why these continuity
- 10:11Speaker 2: errors are there, but we kind of give you a
- 10:15Speaker 2: reason throughout the movie that they're that you kind of
- 10:18Speaker 2: have to put two and two together, and it's more
- 10:22Speaker 2: like Stanley Kubrick is trying to see if he can
- 10:28Speaker 2: get the audience to also question their reality as they're
- 10:32Speaker 2: watching the movie, just as he's, just as Jack Torrents
- 10:38Speaker 2: within the Shining is also starting to question his reality
- 10:41Speaker 2: and slowly go into delusions. So that's kind of like
- 10:45Speaker 2: a subtext thing that's not really stated in the movie,
- 10:49Speaker 2: but something that the audience kind of has to figure
- 10:51Speaker 2: out on their own.
- 10:53Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 10:53Speaker 3: I had a long talk with Stanley's top assistant in
- 10:58Speaker 3: twenty thirteen, and we were at a conference together, and
- 11:03Speaker 3: he wasn't too happy with me, but he was gracious
- 11:07Speaker 3: enough to answer some of my questions, and he basically
- 11:11Speaker 3: said to me that Stanley just got lazy and all
- 11:16Speaker 3: those continuity AARs were just Stanley being lazy and going,
- 11:20Speaker 3: come on, man, I mean really, and he really was
- 11:25Speaker 3: saying that, and I couldn't believe it. He was also
- 11:28Speaker 3: the one that told me that because Stanley had had
- 11:31Speaker 3: him go look at all these hotels around America and
- 11:34Speaker 3: take pictures and send them back to Stanley. And when
- 11:38Speaker 3: he got to the Timberline Hotel, because he didn't know
- 11:40Speaker 3: what he was looking for, only Stanley knew what he
- 11:42Speaker 3: was looking for. When he got to the Timberline Hotel
- 11:46Speaker 3: and sent the polaroids back. Stanley immediately called him up
- 11:50Speaker 3: and said, that's it, You're done.
- 11:51Speaker 7: Come home.
- 11:52Speaker 3: So as soon as he saw the Timberline Hotel, he
- 11:56Speaker 3: knew he had his hotel. And as we pointed out
- 11:59Speaker 3: in the movie, the Timberline Hotel looks a lot like
- 12:03Speaker 3: the Lookout Mountain Hotel that was there before the Lookout
- 12:05Speaker 3: Mountain studios were put in in Laurel Canon.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Right, this is another thing that's really interesting too, j
- 12:13Speaker 2: Sorry sorry, Mark, and Stephen King's sequel to The Shining
- 12:20Speaker 2: Doctor Sleep because the look Our Mountain Hotel burnt to
- 12:26Speaker 2: the ground in the early nineties, and Stephen King's sequel
- 12:29Speaker 2: to the book The Shining and also the sequel to
- 12:32Speaker 2: the movie The Shining Doctor Sleep, the Overlook Hotel burns
- 12:35Speaker 2: of the ground, something that we didn't have in our movie.
- 12:39Speaker 2: That's kind of a new thing.
- 12:42Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And that was the original ending of
- 12:46Speaker 3: The Shining the book was the Overlook burns out.
- 12:49Speaker 5: Right, So they got there with Doctor Sleep. This is
- 12:52Speaker 5: part of the complexity of Stanley, so he will encode
- 12:56Speaker 5: all these hidden layers to his movies, and then he
- 12:59Speaker 5: puts them out there, and there's a surface narrative that
- 13:01Speaker 5: the masses take away from it. They think, oh, the
- 13:04Speaker 5: Shining is a movie about a guy that goes a
- 13:06Speaker 5: bit crazy due to the solitude of this place, and
- 13:09Speaker 5: he gets cabin fever and tries to kill his family.
- 13:12Speaker 5: And Stanley knows there's so much more to it, and
- 13:15Speaker 5: he's wondering who's going to decode all this stuff, if anyone,
- 13:18Speaker 5: And actually he went to his grave without many of
- 13:22Speaker 5: these decodes becoming public, So he never got the satisfaction
- 13:26Speaker 5: of knowing that somebody got it, somebody spotted what he'd
- 13:29Speaker 5: put in there, which I don't think many people would
- 13:31Speaker 5: be happy doing that. They would want to know that
- 13:34Speaker 5: people understood the genius of what they'd put into their narrative.
- 13:39Speaker 3: Well, the closest thing I ever got to channeling was
- 13:43Speaker 3: i'd just gotten back from France in nineteen ninety nine
- 13:47Speaker 3: doing research for the book I was writing, and because
- 13:51Speaker 3: I was so busy in France, I didn't know that
- 13:53Speaker 3: Stanley had die. This was in March of nineteen ninety nine,
- 13:57Speaker 3: and so when I got back to America, I saw
- 13:59Speaker 3: that he of course he was one of my heroes,
- 14:01Speaker 3: and I was crestfallen and I it was a Saturday
- 14:06Speaker 3: after I got back, and I was sitting on my
- 14:09Speaker 3: couch at a snowstorm going and my wife came out
- 14:13Speaker 3: and she said, what are you doing? And I immediately
- 14:17Speaker 3: began channeling the fact that two thousand and one was
- 14:22Speaker 3: about Alchemedy actually.
- 14:25Speaker 7: The moon landing. I suddenly figured it all out.
- 14:28Speaker 3: Within five days of Stanley's death, I had my first
- 14:32Speaker 3: two Kubrick's Odyssey movies basically channeled to me. I swear
- 14:36Speaker 3: to the god to this day, I think Cubrick's spirit
- 14:39Speaker 3: was running around the world trying to find somebody who
- 14:42Speaker 3: understood both alchemy and filmmaking so he could tell them
- 14:46Speaker 3: about what he was really putting.
- 14:47Speaker 7: In his movies.
- 14:48Speaker 3: And ever since then, I've been on this quest for
- 14:51Speaker 3: twenty five years now, trying to figure out all of
- 14:54Speaker 3: Kubrick's movies. But I really do believe that we figured
- 14:57Speaker 3: out what the Shining is really about. And Curate didn't
- 15:01Speaker 3: believe in the supernatural. He was a complete atheist. He
- 15:06Speaker 3: didn't believe in ghosts or anything, so it had to
- 15:10Speaker 3: have been kind of hard for him to make a
- 15:13Speaker 3: movie about ghosts, and I think he just chucked it
- 15:15Speaker 3: and so forget it.
- 15:16Speaker 7: Where'd you kind of make a movie?
- 15:17Speaker 3: I have so many layers in it that it'll take
- 15:20Speaker 3: one hundred years to figure out.
- 15:22Speaker 5: Well, this is the thing I wanted to ask about.
- 15:24Speaker 5: So we'll get into what you propose with the work
- 15:27Speaker 5: shining shortly. But there are many other decodes that people
- 15:30Speaker 5: could take away from this film. These were discussed in
- 15:33Speaker 5: Room two three seven. Jay, you were a part of
- 15:35Speaker 5: that documentary two and you advanced the idea that Stanley
- 15:38Speaker 5: was basically confessing to having faked the moon landings. There
- 15:42Speaker 5: was a theory in there that it was about the
- 15:43Speaker 5: genocide of the Native Americans. So now that you believe
- 15:48Speaker 5: you found this new meaning to it, do you think
- 15:50Speaker 5: all those other interpretations are still there as well? So
- 15:55Speaker 5: there's multiple layers to it. It's not just one hidden meaning.
- 15:58Speaker 5: There are many that will put into this.
- 16:01Speaker 7: Well.
- 16:01Speaker 3: Yeah, In fact, I think, as I told Rodney Asher
- 16:06Speaker 3: the Maker three Room two thirty seven, I think all
- 16:09Speaker 3: of those theories you presented are correct. I believe it
- 16:12Speaker 3: is about the Holocaust. I do believe it is about
- 16:14Speaker 3: the tilling of the Native Americans. I believe it is
- 16:18Speaker 3: about the moon landing, and it's also and if you
- 16:21Speaker 3: think about that, all those things kind of work together.
- 16:24Speaker 3: So it's about America. The overlook is America. He even
- 16:29Speaker 3: says that one time Shelley Duval says, let's go make
- 16:33Speaker 3: America clean again, right, joking to Danny as they're going
- 16:38Speaker 3: to the maze. So I think it's all those and
- 16:43Speaker 3: I think that they all work into our theory on
- 16:45Speaker 3: the clockwork shining. I think that they all work together.
- 16:48Speaker 3: I think Kubrick was trying to tell us many things.
- 16:51Speaker 3: And of course, if it's the moon landing, then that's
- 16:53Speaker 3: Operation paper Clip. If it's Operation paper Clip, then that's
- 16:56Speaker 3: the Holocaust, So naturally he would want to get that in.
- 17:00Speaker 3: And if it's also about the conquering the world, then
- 17:05Speaker 3: yesterday that Americans are going to come in and be
- 17:07Speaker 3: part of it. As he said, this is native American
- 17:10Speaker 3: barrier ill ground in the movie. And so it's all
- 17:13Speaker 3: of those things, but mostly it's about the Young k
- 17:16Speaker 3: Ultra program, right.
- 17:18Speaker 5: And you say in the film that Stanley was given
- 17:21Speaker 5: this film to make by Warner Brothers. So they said,
- 17:24Speaker 5: here's the Stephen King book. We want you to make
- 17:26Speaker 5: a movie, and you also observe that Stanley was doing
- 17:29Speaker 5: rewrites through the film, through the filming, the making of
- 17:32Speaker 5: the film, it's like he was getting bored with the
- 17:34Speaker 5: official narrative and thinking of what he could put into
- 17:37Speaker 5: it to spice it up a bit and have a
- 17:39Speaker 5: bit of fun and put all these hidden elements in.
- 17:42Speaker 5: So that seemed to have been an ongoing process through
- 17:44Speaker 5: the production.
- 17:45Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 17:45Speaker 3: There's an interview with Dianne Johnson, the screenwriter with Stanley
- 17:49Speaker 3: on The Shining and she expresses her a great disappointment
- 17:53Speaker 3: that Stanley cut a crucial scene out of the movie,
- 17:57Speaker 3: and that's a scene where apparently Jack, which is from
- 17:59Speaker 3: the book where Jack finds a scrap book down in
- 18:02Speaker 3: the basement of the Overlook, and the scrap book in
- 18:05Speaker 3: the book was all these mob ties and crimes and
- 18:10Speaker 3: everything that we're in the scrap book, and it seem
- 18:13Speaker 3: strange that he would cut that out since it's such
- 18:15Speaker 3: a crucial part of the movie. But if he's really
- 18:19Speaker 3: trying to tell you about the MK Ultra programs, then yeah,
- 18:22Speaker 3: he's gonna toss it.
- 18:23Speaker 2: He doesn't care, right, And there's evidence of that with
- 18:27Speaker 2: the interaction between Grady and Jack in the bathroom after
- 18:32Speaker 2: Grady has spilled the alcohol on Jack, the dialogue between them,
- 18:36Speaker 2: because Jack is basically like, haven't I seen you somewhere before?
- 18:40Speaker 2: But we don't see him seeing any pictures of Grady
- 18:44Speaker 2: in the hotel. He's not on any of the walls
- 18:46Speaker 2: and pictures in the hotel, So it makes sense that
- 18:50Speaker 2: that scene was there where he finds the scrap book.
- 18:53Speaker 2: He sees that, you know, the newspaper articles of Grady
- 18:58Speaker 2: killing his two daughters and his wife previously at the hotel,
- 19:03Speaker 2: and the nesting was just cut out, but there's still
- 19:05Speaker 2: remnants of that between the conversation of Jack and Grady
- 19:09Speaker 2: in the bathroom.
- 19:11Speaker 5: Sure, yeah, right, just give us an overview then, of
- 19:14Speaker 5: what you feel is the main idea that's being communicated
- 19:19Speaker 5: in the shining beneath the surface narrative.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Well, there are several things that I found that nobody
- 19:25Speaker 2: else has ever seen. There's a when before Grady spills
- 19:30Speaker 2: alcohol and Jack in the gold room, there's a lady
- 19:34Speaker 2: that walks past that has a handprint on her ass. Now,
- 19:38Speaker 2: some people can say that this handprint is somehow a
- 19:42Speaker 2: part of the dress, but either way, it's still a
- 19:46Speaker 2: handprint on her ass. Regardless if it's a part of
- 19:50Speaker 2: the dress or if it's an actual real handprint, it's
- 19:53Speaker 2: still conveying the same thing. And then in the Gold Room,
- 19:57Speaker 2: also when Allman is giving a tour to Wendy and Jack,
- 20:04Speaker 2: there's a swastika that's in the background of the Gold
- 20:08Speaker 2: Room into the wall. And I'm the first person to
- 20:12Speaker 2: ever have seen that, And the only reason that I
- 20:15Speaker 2: was able to see it is because I've seen The
- 20:18Speaker 2: Shining on the big screen. One of the theaters near
- 20:21Speaker 2: me last year during Halloween was showing the Shining doing
- 20:25Speaker 2: a reshowing of the Shining, and I went and seen
- 20:28Speaker 2: it on the big screen and I was like, holy shit.
- 20:29Speaker 2: I immediately called Jay after that. I was like, how's
- 20:32Speaker 2: that swastika in the background of the Gold Room? Which
- 20:35Speaker 2: really ties in with you know, Project paper Clip this
- 20:39Speaker 2: and what other people have seen that have pointed out.
- 20:43Speaker 2: At the end of the movie, when the picture on
- 20:46Speaker 2: the wall fades to the far away picture faced to
- 20:50Speaker 2: a close up picture of Jack for a split second,
- 20:52Speaker 2: you can see a Hitler mustache on Jack's face. That's
- 20:54Speaker 2: not something that we've seen, that's something that other people
- 20:57Speaker 2: have pointed out. Through in the movie, but it all
- 20:59Speaker 2: ties together, and then you have the first time that
- 21:03Speaker 2: we meet Wendy and Danny in the movie, Wendy is
- 21:07Speaker 2: reading the book by J. D. Salinger, Catcher in the Rye,
- 21:10Speaker 2: which I don't think very many people have pointed out,
- 21:13Speaker 2: and many have theorized and put together that Catcher in
- 21:17Speaker 2: the Rye is a MK Ultramanchurian candidate style trigger for assassins.
- 21:23Speaker 2: And what does Jack do throughout the entire movie. He
- 21:29Speaker 2: is trying to kill his family. And then you have
- 21:31Speaker 2: the psychic driving aspect as well. You know, Jack is
- 21:34Speaker 2: supposedly writing this book for you know, and Wendy comes
- 21:38Speaker 2: in and sees that he's not really writing a book.
- 21:40Speaker 2: He's writing the same sentence over and over and over.
- 21:43Speaker 2: And then you have the same the real life example
- 21:47Speaker 2: of that with sir Han Sirhan which was said to
- 21:50Speaker 2: have assassinated RFK in nineteen sixty eight. So and so
- 21:55Speaker 2: Jack is doing his own interpretation of psychic drive within
- 22:01Speaker 2: the movie as well. There's many things with Stanley Kubrick
- 22:04Speaker 2: that tie over into real life, like real life is
- 22:10Speaker 2: mimicking art, or art is mimicking real life. Like we
- 22:14Speaker 2: talk about Sue Lyon in the movie which Lolita was
- 22:20Speaker 2: basically about pedophilia, and that was actually happening to the
- 22:24Speaker 2: real life actress by Stanley Kubrick's producer was essentially raping her,
- 22:29Speaker 2: which is the lead actress. She was thirteen years old
- 22:31Speaker 2: at the time he was in his thirties. Then you
- 22:33Speaker 2: have like Shelley Duvall, it's the same thing. And then
- 22:36Speaker 2: with a clockwork orange, even in the UK and in
- 22:39Speaker 2: some other countries, like crime was getting really out of hand,
- 22:43Speaker 2: there was murders that was attributed to people watching a
- 22:46Speaker 2: clockwork Orange, which then it was banned. So there's so
- 22:49Speaker 2: many things with Stanley Kubrick that tie over into real
- 22:54Speaker 2: life scenarios that is really mind blowing to me. It's like,
- 22:59Speaker 2: you know, it's either reality imitating art or art imitating reality.
- 23:05Speaker 3: Well, the writer Robert Temple is my good friend. He
- 23:10Speaker 3: was hanging out with Stanley on the set of two
- 23:13Speaker 3: thousand and one Space honestly when he was a young man,
- 23:16Speaker 3: and he told me that he went over to Stanley's
- 23:19Speaker 3: house and Stanley had this big, huge library and he
- 23:23Speaker 3: said he was obsessed with Nazi memorabilia. Who's all over
- 23:28Speaker 3: his whole place who collecting it. He was reading Nazi
- 23:32Speaker 3: scientific papers. He told his screenwriter, who wrote the screenplay
- 23:39Speaker 3: with him on Eyes White Shut. He wrote a book
- 23:42Speaker 3: called Eyes White Open about his time with Stanley, and
- 23:45Speaker 3: he said Stanley would look at him and he was Jewish,
- 23:48Speaker 3: by the way, and so was Stanley, and Stanley would
- 23:51Speaker 3: look at him and say, Hitler never said one thing
- 23:54Speaker 3: that wasn't true, right, And it caused a big scandal
- 23:58Speaker 3: believing when this book came out, because he's certainly saying
- 24:01Speaker 3: that Stanley was like favor of the Nazis. So I
- 24:06Speaker 3: have two sources as say that Stanley was obsessed with
- 24:09Speaker 3: the Germans. And then when Ryder found the swastika on
- 24:13Speaker 3: the wall in the Gold Room, I was like, Yeap,
- 24:16Speaker 3: doesn't surprise.
- 24:17Speaker 7: Me one bit, right.
- 24:19Speaker 5: So we're talking about mk ultra coming out of those
- 24:22Speaker 5: nice folks at the CIA, and a big part of
- 24:25Speaker 5: what they were doing in those experiments involved LSD and
- 24:28Speaker 5: that's a big part of the narrative of the Shining,
- 24:31Speaker 5: according to how you've decoded it, and it's the key
- 24:34Speaker 5: to so much. So Ryder, you've made the comment that
- 24:37Speaker 5: there are no ghosts in this film. People think it's
- 24:40Speaker 5: a horror movie, but there are no ghosts, and in
- 24:42Speaker 5: your view, the characters of Lloyd the barman and Grady,
- 24:47Speaker 5: the guy that cleans Jack up in the bathroom who's
- 24:50Speaker 5: supposed to be the reincarnation of the original caretaker, according
- 24:54Speaker 5: to the surface narrative, aren't actually ghosts. They're characters that
- 24:58Speaker 5: have been planted in the hotel as part of the
- 25:02Speaker 5: experimentation that's being conducted on Jack. Right.
- 25:06Speaker 2: Absolutely, have you seen the movie Shutter Island with Leonardo DiCaprio,
- 25:11Speaker 2: where they basically it's about this detective that's going to
- 25:15Speaker 2: the psychiatric hospital to investigate a murder. And at the
- 25:18Speaker 2: end of the movie spoiler alert for Shutter Island. I'm
- 25:21Speaker 2: sure people have already seen it. If you haven't seen,
- 25:23Speaker 2: it's a fantastic movie. But at the end, it turns
- 25:26Speaker 2: out that all these people are like LARPing. They're LARPing
- 25:30Speaker 2: this whole scenario for Leonardo DiCaprio's character, and that's what
- 25:36Speaker 2: we believe is going on within the shining. All the
- 25:39Speaker 2: people that are perceived to be ghost are really actors
- 25:44Speaker 2: playing a role within the movie to try and convince
- 25:47Speaker 2: Jack to kill his family. It's an experiment That's pretty
- 25:53Speaker 2: much what Allman tells Jack from the very beginning of
- 25:57Speaker 2: the movie, between the dialogue with Bill Watson and uh
- 26:01Speaker 2: Almen and Jack in the beginning. And that's one of
- 26:03Speaker 2: the things that people, you know, think that is really
- 26:06Speaker 2: boring about the movie because it's just ten minutes of
- 26:08Speaker 2: the just like straight dialogue of them talking. But almend
- 26:13Speaker 2: reveals the entire plot of the movie to Jack in
- 26:17Speaker 2: that set down with him. It's so interesting, and I
- 26:20Speaker 2: don't think very many people actually, you know, look at
- 26:24Speaker 2: that and analyze that part. But pretty much Almond is like, hey,
- 26:28Speaker 2: this isn't a physically demanding job. This is this is
- 26:31Speaker 2: a psychological job. And then later on, when Wendy has
- 26:36Speaker 2: confronted Jack after he's getting his psychic driving, he becomes
- 26:42Speaker 2: triggered and he decides to do you know, violence against
- 26:45Speaker 2: his uh against Windy and his family. And in that
- 26:50Speaker 2: dialogue between him and Wendy there he's talking about, you know,
- 26:54Speaker 2: how do you you know my responsibilities to my employers,
- 26:58Speaker 2: Like you have any idea what a contract is, you know,
- 27:01Speaker 2: So it's like it's almost like he knows that he's
- 27:06Speaker 2: involved in some sort of psychological operation up at the
- 27:11Speaker 2: overlook and he's, uh, he's trying to convey that to
- 27:18Speaker 2: Wendy and Danny, but they don't really understand exactly what's
- 27:21Speaker 2: going on. And then you have Lloyd the bartender as well,
- 27:23Speaker 2: which you talk about in the movie Mark with Frank
- 27:26Speaker 2: Olsen and Sydney Gottlieb spiking the drink of Frank Olsen
- 27:31Speaker 2: and then him later later, you know, committing suicide by
- 27:33Speaker 2: jumping out of what story eleventh story or twelve story
- 27:37Speaker 2: or thirteen story or something like that in a hotel room.
- 27:40Speaker 2: And the CIA has been known to spike, you know,
- 27:44Speaker 2: alcoholic drinks or any kind of drinks with some sort
- 27:47Speaker 2: of hallucinogenic substance. And it's one thing to be to
- 27:52Speaker 2: knowingly take some kind of hallucinogenic because then you're going
- 27:54Speaker 2: to expect to feel the effects of that hallucinogenic. You're
- 27:58Speaker 2: gonna expect to feel that mind within you. But when
- 28:02Speaker 2: you're unknowingly dosed with some sort of hallucinogeny, you're gonna
- 28:05Speaker 2: think that you're out of your mind and that you're crazy.
- 28:08Speaker 2: And the first thing that Jack Jack doesn't experience anything
- 28:11Speaker 2: strange until he takes that first alcoholic drink from Lloyd
- 28:14Speaker 2: the bartender. When Wendy walks into the gold room, it
- 28:16Speaker 2: was like Danny was attacked by a lady in one
- 28:20Speaker 2: of the empty rooms upstairs, and then he goes up
- 28:22Speaker 2: there and then he sees the lady, the very attractive
- 28:25Speaker 2: lady turned into an elderly woman. And room two thirty
- 28:27Speaker 2: seven is very psychedelic. It's got this uh, it's unlike
- 28:31Speaker 2: anything else that we see within the shining, any of
- 28:34Speaker 2: the exterior things. Things are purple, they're very vibrant. It's
- 28:37Speaker 2: almost like a psychedelic trip. As soon as Jack walks
- 28:39Speaker 2: in there, then he sees the old lady, the attractive
- 28:42Speaker 2: lady turns into an old woman. And then later whenever
- 28:45Speaker 2: he goes up into the room to me back up
- 28:46Speaker 2: with Wendy, Wendy asked him, did you see anything in
- 28:49Speaker 2: room two thirty seven. He said, no, I didn't see
- 28:51Speaker 2: a goddamn thing.
- 28:54Speaker 3: Yeah, because he's on acid, that's what it is. And
- 28:57Speaker 3: Ryder did a great cut to the very first shot
- 29:00Speaker 3: or when he enters room two thirty seven. You get
- 29:03Speaker 3: the vibrant purple and greens that are everywhere, and.
- 29:09Speaker 7: It feels like, you know, you're on acid.
- 29:14Speaker 5: So we're saying that Lloyd and Grady are not ghosts,
- 29:17Speaker 5: they're real people. What about the twins that Danny experiences,
- 29:22Speaker 5: the twin girls and the old hag in the in
- 29:26Speaker 5: room to two thirty seven, you've said, is the actual
- 29:30Speaker 5: woman who presumably is real, who in Jack's altered state,
- 29:34Speaker 5: turns into this hideous old woman. And then at the
- 29:37Speaker 5: end of the movie you've got Wendy experiencing skeletons and
- 29:41Speaker 5: this guy with a cut in his head and stuff.
- 29:44Speaker 5: So are they straight hallucinations in your view?
- 29:47Speaker 3: No, they're actors. They're all actors. Everybody's an actor.
- 29:52Speaker 5: Including the girls that are all chopped up in the
- 29:54Speaker 5: hallway there.
- 29:55Speaker 3: Uh, well, that could be u set up of some kind,
- 30:01Speaker 3: you know, a stage set up of some kind. But
- 30:06Speaker 3: once you understand that everybody's an actor, it becomes really
- 30:10Speaker 3: easy to understand. And that's exactly what Kubrick would do.
- 30:16Speaker 3: And so the old what we're saying is that the
- 30:19Speaker 3: overlook purpose is to do these MK ultra operations in
- 30:25Speaker 3: the winter, and that they bring up a group of people.
- 30:28Speaker 3: They hide out in the rooms and they come out
- 30:30Speaker 3: when they're supposed to. They're probably they're being watched and
- 30:33Speaker 3: everything and this is all by the way given away
- 30:38Speaker 3: in the ending of the Shining that Kubrick cut out.
- 30:43Speaker 7: In the ending of the Shining, Wendy is in her.
- 30:46Speaker 3: Bed and ohmen, the hotel manager comes in to see her.
- 30:51Speaker 3: It tells her there's no evidence at the hotel for
- 30:54Speaker 3: anything you're saying, right, why because they cleaned it up.
- 30:58Speaker 3: They cleaned up the evidence. So that's what you do
- 31:00Speaker 3: after your mkolture operation. And then he says, why don't
- 31:04Speaker 3: you and Danny come stay at my house on the beach.
- 31:06Speaker 7: In out La, right? And why would he do that?
- 31:10Speaker 3: And the answer is because you want to keep an
- 31:12Speaker 3: eye on your subjects for a couple of months after
- 31:15Speaker 3: the experimentation to see what happens with him, right the
- 31:20Speaker 3: aftermath of the experiment. And I believe that he cut
- 31:24Speaker 3: that ending out because he realized it was given the
- 31:27Speaker 3: whole ball of axe.
- 31:28Speaker 7: Away and he didn't want to do that, right yea.
- 31:35Speaker 7: And he throws the ball, the tennis ball to Danny.
- 31:38Speaker 3: How would he know that Danny had an interaction with
- 31:40Speaker 3: the tennis ball in the hallway in front of Room
- 31:43Speaker 3: thirty seven. He wouldn't he know way that he would
- 31:46Speaker 3: know that? So what is he doing giving him the ball? Well,
- 31:49Speaker 3: he's obviously he was watching Danny.
- 31:53Speaker 5: She wish we could see that footage.
- 31:55Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean two. That's one of the most
- 31:58Speaker 2: infamous pieces of walls ever. Many people have claimed to
- 32:02Speaker 2: have had the director of Toy Story as well. People
- 32:05Speaker 2: have said that he has the lost footage. But I
- 32:08Speaker 2: think one of the things within the movie that kind
- 32:12Speaker 2: of explains what's going on with Danny is the when
- 32:16Speaker 2: Walter Bosley, the AFOSI Special Agent of the Air Force,
- 32:21Speaker 2: talks about, you know this LSD aerosol that has been
- 32:26Speaker 2: known to be sprayed on entire groups of unsuspecting people.
- 32:30Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that the CIA had like a party
- 32:34Speaker 2: at one point where they were just spraying LSD aerosol
- 32:37Speaker 2: into the house of the apartment of this where all
- 32:41Speaker 2: these people were having a party, and these people would
- 32:44Speaker 2: just kind of go out of their minds. So it's
- 32:45Speaker 2: kind of implied throughout a movie that is possible that
- 32:49Speaker 2: Room two thirty seven is just getting hit with some
- 32:53Speaker 2: sort of LSD aerosol, and maybe when Danny goes into
- 32:57Speaker 2: Room two thirty seven, he gets hit with that LSD
- 33:00Speaker 2: aerosol and that's how he experiences the twins in the hallway,
- 33:07Speaker 2: and that might be an explanation for that. But Danny
- 33:09Speaker 2: is also very you know, psychic, He's a psychic boy
- 33:17Speaker 2: as well. And then when you think.
- 33:19Speaker 7: Of like the.
- 33:22Speaker 2: You know, hollerin and you know them having this psychic
- 33:25Speaker 2: connection to each other and the trauma that they've really faced,
- 33:28Speaker 2: because you bring it up in the documentary, Mark, the
- 33:31Speaker 2: trauma is the key to unlocking these abilities and Windy.
- 33:37Speaker 2: Throughout the movie. That's how Windy gets to see some
- 33:40Speaker 2: of the things that are happening at the overlook is
- 33:43Speaker 2: due to the trauma and the mind fracturing from the
- 33:45Speaker 2: MK ultra programs that she's being suscepted to throughout the movie,
- 33:52Speaker 2: because it's even implied in the storage room when Jack
- 33:56Speaker 2: is in there between the conversation that he's having with Grady,
- 33:59Speaker 2: which great, he is outside of the door and he's
- 34:02Speaker 2: you know, talking to Jack, He's like, you know, Wendy
- 34:05Speaker 2: is much more you know, stronger mentally than we had suspected.
- 34:10Speaker 2: So how do we basically, how do we break her
- 34:13Speaker 2: down to you know, get her on this level to
- 34:16Speaker 2: where her mind can be completely taken over by these experiments?
- 34:20Speaker 5: Right, you mentioned the character Bill Watson earlier. Yeah, sorry,
- 34:25Speaker 5: you mentioned the character Bill Watson who's in the interview
- 34:28Speaker 5: with Almon and Jack when he's first arriving at the hotel.
- 34:32Speaker 5: And there's no ostensible reason for this character to be
- 34:34Speaker 5: in the film, So it's almost as if they paid
- 34:37Speaker 5: an actor to do nothing, because he says virtually nothing.
- 34:40Speaker 5: But he's taken a very keen interesting Jack. He's kind
- 34:44Speaker 5: of looking him up and down in the interview. And
- 34:46Speaker 5: I don't think this made the final cut of your film,
- 34:49Speaker 5: but I think your view is that he's a man
- 34:51Speaker 5: from the CIA and he's there to assess Jack's suitability
- 34:56Speaker 5: for this experiment. That's what's implied there.
- 35:00Speaker 3: Yep, that's exactly right, and he's he's probably the people
- 35:04Speaker 3: in from Denver, one of the people from Denver that
- 35:07Speaker 3: they keep referring to, which is interesting because a lot
- 35:11Speaker 3: of people don't realize that the CIA has always had
- 35:15Speaker 3: a operation command center in Denver. Yes, they're in Langley, Virginia,
- 35:21Speaker 3: but they also have one in Denver and it's been there.
- 35:23Speaker 3: It's actually becoming their main office. They're moving from Langley
- 35:28Speaker 3: to Denver right now. They've been doing it for like
- 35:31Speaker 3: five years, so somehow you reck knew all.
- 35:34Speaker 5: This creple in Denver as well.
- 35:39Speaker 7: Yes, it is.
- 35:40Speaker 2: Yes, I originally wanted to put some things in there
- 35:44Speaker 2: about Bill Watson and his likeness to Sidney Gauntlieb, because
- 35:50Speaker 2: they look very similar. But the issue that I kind
- 35:53Speaker 2: of ran into was that there's very few photos of
- 35:56Speaker 2: Sidney Gauntlieb. Hardly find any of him, like one or
- 36:02Speaker 2: two the two that I have in there. Whenever you're
- 36:05Speaker 2: talking about Frank Olsen Mark is one of the only
- 36:09Speaker 2: two that you can really find. There's very little footage
- 36:12Speaker 2: of him. The only footage that I could find of
- 36:15Speaker 2: him was after he was playing tennis or something outside
- 36:19Speaker 2: and then he was trying to get back into the
- 36:20Speaker 2: building and he was kind of covering his head. So
- 36:25Speaker 2: but yes, we absolutely believe that Bill Watson because he
- 36:30Speaker 2: literally says one or two things like the entire movie
- 36:36Speaker 2: didn't really make any sense for him to even be there,
- 36:38Speaker 2: so it's like he's like an observer and it's highly
- 36:44Speaker 2: possible that he was just there at the hotel the
- 36:47Speaker 2: entire time.
- 36:48Speaker 3: Yeah, actor is actually one of Kubrick's best friends, so
- 36:53Speaker 3: he grew up with it, so.
- 36:55Speaker 5: He got an easy job on that movie.
- 36:58Speaker 3: Yeah, he show he hired. He hired his friends a lot,
- 37:04Speaker 3: the Little the Little Short Gladiator and in Spartacus that
- 37:09Speaker 3: was another friend he grew up with, so he was
- 37:11Speaker 3: always hiring his friends for little roles.
- 37:15Speaker 5: What's your view on why the name of Grady changes,
- 37:19Speaker 5: because early on Allman refers to him as Charles Grady,
- 37:22Speaker 5: and when he introduces himself to Jack in the bathroom,
- 37:25Speaker 5: he says he's Delbert Grady. So what do you think
- 37:27Speaker 5: the first name changed.
- 37:31Speaker 3: Hmmm, that's a really good question, because he did that
- 37:34Speaker 3: also in a Clockwork Orange, Alex as a name changed.
- 37:39Speaker 7: His last name changes in the movie.
- 37:41Speaker 3: It was originally the author of the of the book
- 37:45Speaker 3: with Anthony Burry, it was it was his name is
- 37:48Speaker 3: Alec Burgess, and then it's Alex something else when he's
- 37:50Speaker 3: in prison. So but in both movies characters' names change,
- 37:56Speaker 3: and it's.
- 37:58Speaker 7: Really that's kind of a mystery. I'm not sure, because again.
- 38:00Speaker 3: Stanley is such an attention to detail that you would
- 38:03Speaker 3: think there's no way that he could make this mistake.
- 38:06Speaker 3: So it's just weird that the two mind Control movies
- 38:08Speaker 3: that he may both have this weird name change, or
- 38:12Speaker 3: one of the main characters.
- 38:14Speaker 5: Right, So all these things that researchers have found in
- 38:18Speaker 5: The Shining, such as your interpretation there, and what many
- 38:22Speaker 5: other people have observed over the years, presumably Stanley's paymasters,
- 38:28Speaker 5: the elites would have spotted some of this themselves, because
- 38:32Speaker 5: you know, these guys are smart and they know stuff
- 38:35Speaker 5: that regular folk don't. So I wonder if they would
- 38:38Speaker 5: have been aware of some of these symbolic metaphorical elements
- 38:42Speaker 5: in this film. But maybe back in nineteen eighty they thought, oh,
- 38:46Speaker 5: it doesn't matter. People are too dumb, they're too profane,
- 38:49Speaker 5: too ignorant to know what this stuff means. But they
- 38:52Speaker 5: hadn't factored in the advent of the Internet and the
- 38:55Speaker 5: availability to do research through it. So I wonder how
- 38:59Speaker 5: much stuff they then self spoted but just let slide.
- 39:02Speaker 7: I think a lot of it they let it slide.
- 39:04Speaker 3: I think he was given away the game and both
- 39:08Speaker 3: the clockwork Orange, the Shining full metal jacket, and even
- 39:12Speaker 3: two thousand and one in Doctor Strangelove.
- 39:15Speaker 7: So he was always playing fast and loose with the elite.
- 39:20Speaker 3: Right, taking it all the way to the edge and
- 39:22Speaker 3: then pulling back before he went all the way, and
- 39:26Speaker 3: he knew what he was doing. He was probably in
- 39:29Speaker 3: some ways, how do I say this correctly? To me,
- 39:37Speaker 3: every movie after Barry Lyndon is some kind of experiment,
- 39:44Speaker 3: a psychological experiment, and he's using his ability to make
- 39:48Speaker 3: films to make to do psychological experiments on the audience.
- 39:54Speaker 7: And I think that he may have.
- 39:56Speaker 3: Been literally working for the man maybe after Barry Linden,
- 40:01Speaker 3: that literally they came in and said, you're too valuable
- 40:04Speaker 3: to just make Hollywood movies. We've got all these experiments
- 40:07Speaker 3: we want to try, we want you to do it.
- 40:09Speaker 7: And they just feel like experiments.
- 40:12Speaker 3: So Shining feels like experiment, eyes wide shut feels like
- 40:15Speaker 3: an experiment, full metal jacket, this feel there's not regular
- 40:20Speaker 3: movies at all, And it's just a strangeness about him
- 40:26Speaker 3: that I cannot describe. But I really do believe that
- 40:32Speaker 3: he was doing some kind of psychological experiment just because
- 40:35Speaker 3: he was bored. I believe that Stanley Kubrick got bored
- 40:38Speaker 3: after Clockwork Orange.
- 40:40Speaker 7: That's my theory. He got bored.
- 40:42Speaker 3: He wanted to make a costume drama period piece, and
- 40:46Speaker 3: he did and he lost his ass on it. He
- 40:48Speaker 3: lost like ten million dollars on Barry Linden. And so
- 40:52Speaker 3: then he was at his wits ends what to do,
- 40:55Speaker 3: and he was studying the MK Ultra things that had
- 40:58Speaker 3: been announced in nineteen seventy five. And I believe that
- 41:01Speaker 3: Warner Brothers tried to repeat the success they had with
- 41:07Speaker 3: The Exorcist by giving a horror novel to type A
- 41:11Speaker 3: director William Friedkin, and so they gave and by the way,
- 41:15Speaker 3: Cubrick got offered the Extorcist too, and he turned it
- 41:17Speaker 3: down and did Barry Lindon instead. And I believe that
- 41:21Speaker 3: he said, they kind of said nap after the after
- 41:24Speaker 3: the debacle of Barry Lindon.
- 41:25Speaker 7: I think it's time for you to do this movie.
- 41:28Speaker 7: We want an A list.
- 41:29Speaker 3: Director working with the top horror novel and you're the
- 41:32Speaker 3: guy who's going to do it. And Kuber's like, yeah,
- 41:34Speaker 3: I'll do it, and he did it. And then as
- 41:37Speaker 3: we show in the movie, he gave one script to
- 41:40Speaker 3: Warner Brothers and said this is what we're doing, and
- 41:42Speaker 3: then he completely rewrote the script while he was shooting,
- 41:45Speaker 3: which nobody ever does.
- 41:46Speaker 2: By the way, never do that.
- 41:50Speaker 3: Oh my god, you have to be you want your
- 41:52Speaker 3: script locked down solid before you even shoot one frame.
- 41:57Speaker 7: And but not Cubrick.
- 41:59Speaker 3: Now he's going to keep rewriting and rewriting and rewriting,
- 42:01Speaker 3: and nobody knows what's going on. He's changed the story
- 42:04Speaker 3: so much Warner Brothers came on the set to observe
- 42:08Speaker 3: what was going on. The guys that I give up.
- 42:09Speaker 3: I have no idea what's going on here? Right, and
- 42:12Speaker 3: so over and over and over. You know, Kubrick was
- 42:15Speaker 3: just fooling him. And at the very end of the
- 42:19Speaker 3: movie Life in Pictures The Story of Stanley Kubrier, a
- 42:23Speaker 3: documentary about Stanley, they're interviewing Christiana Kuberic, his wife, and
- 42:28Speaker 3: she said, uh, what's your He said, what's your fondest
- 42:31Speaker 3: memory Stanley? And she said, uh, he will, he will
- 42:36Speaker 3: look he'll he'll be involved in something and then he'll
- 42:38Speaker 3: look at me and go still fooling them, right, And
- 42:42Speaker 3: that was one of his main lines that he would
- 42:43Speaker 3: say to his wife, still fooling them.
- 42:45Speaker 7: So, you know, he he was a trickster kind of
- 42:48Speaker 7: in a way.
- 42:50Speaker 5: Yeah, do you feel he went too far? Ultimately with
- 42:53Speaker 5: eyes wide shut? And they often.
- 42:57Speaker 7: Okay, so uh.
- 43:01Speaker 3: In the late two thousand and one, I wrote my
- 43:04Speaker 3: essay on alchemical kubric about two thousand and one being
- 43:08Speaker 3: really a movie about alchemy in the four Stages of Alchemy,
- 43:11Speaker 3: and I.
- 43:12Speaker 7: Got a phone call.
- 43:13Speaker 3: I first I got an email and said here, my
- 43:15Speaker 3: phone number wouldn't tell me who he was. I worked
- 43:18Speaker 3: with Stanley and it wasn't Leon Vitale. Leon Vitale is
- 43:22Speaker 3: the guy that went searching for the hotels. This is
- 43:24Speaker 3: another guy American. And I got on the phone with
- 43:27Speaker 3: him for like two hours, and he said that Warner
- 43:30Speaker 3: Brothers had come to London to screen Eyes Wide Shot.
- 43:34Speaker 3: Kubrick and him this guy were in the lobby.
- 43:37Speaker 7: While they were watching it.
- 43:39Speaker 3: Kubrick had taken back up cigarette smoking and he was
- 43:42Speaker 3: chain smoking, walking back and forth.
- 43:44Speaker 7: And they're gonna kill me.
- 43:45Speaker 3: They're like, I hate this film, right, and really nervous
- 43:49Speaker 3: and everything.
- 43:49Speaker 7: And then a guy came out. The movie ended, and
- 43:52Speaker 7: the guy said.
- 43:53Speaker 3: The guy came out and says, standing, come on in,
- 43:55Speaker 3: and so Stanley went in and the guy could. The
- 43:57Speaker 3: guy that was there telling me this didn't get to
- 43:59Speaker 3: go in, but.
- 44:00Speaker 7: He heard this huge argument going.
- 44:02Speaker 3: On with everybody yelling and screaming and Kubrick yelling and screaming.
- 44:07Speaker 3: And then Kubrick was dead five days later. I don't
- 44:11Speaker 3: know what happened. I know that you know, he was
- 44:13Speaker 3: seventy two years old and he was cigarette smoking, so
- 44:17Speaker 3: that could be. But the thing is is that his assistant,
- 44:22Speaker 3: his chauffeur, wrote a book about Stanley Kubrick, and he
- 44:26Speaker 3: said that only he and Stanley had keys to Stanley's
- 44:30Speaker 3: inner den where he did all of his work.
- 44:33Speaker 7: And he said when he came back from the funeral,
- 44:36Speaker 7: he walked.
- 44:36Speaker 3: Into the Stanley's den and there was like twenty guys
- 44:39Speaker 3: rifling through Stanley's all of his books and all of his.
- 44:43Speaker 7: Films and everything.
- 44:44Speaker 3: They took filmed books, files unloaded like almost like Tesla
- 44:49Speaker 3: when he died, and they filled a truck up with it.
- 44:53Speaker 3: They never told this guy who they were and what
- 44:56Speaker 3: they were doing there. And he said, I was the
- 44:58Speaker 3: only guy that had a key beside Stanley.
- 45:00Speaker 7: So how do they even get in?
- 45:02Speaker 3: And of course I've been told by CIA that we
- 45:04Speaker 3: could break into any place, you'll never know it. So
- 45:07Speaker 3: I assumed that they were CIA. And why was the
- 45:10Speaker 3: CIA be interested in Stanley Kubrick's work after he died,
- 45:14Speaker 3: And maybe because he was doing other things for them
- 45:17Speaker 3: that you know, you're not supposed to know about. I mean,
- 45:22Speaker 3: would you really let a director of the statue of
- 45:27Speaker 3: Stanley Kubrick.
- 45:28Speaker 7: Go to waste if you could use him.
- 45:32Speaker 3: It would seem to me if you'd used him for
- 45:33Speaker 3: the moon Landing, you're probably gonna use him for other
- 45:36Speaker 3: things too.
- 45:39Speaker 5: And apparently there was twenty odd minutes of footage from
- 45:42Speaker 5: Eyes Wide Shut which never made the final cut. So again,
- 45:45Speaker 5: nobody's ever going to see that, and we can only
- 45:47Speaker 5: ever imagine what was in it.
- 45:49Speaker 3: I was the leader of the lobby to get Warner
- 45:53Speaker 3: Brothers to release that footage. I had over one hundred
- 45:56Speaker 3: thousand signatures from Brian to Palm signed it. Quentin Tarantino
- 46:01Speaker 3: signed it. All these big weeks were signing this petition
- 46:05Speaker 3: to release the twenty minutes that's been taken out, and
- 46:08Speaker 3: Water Brothers basically said, no, we're not going to do it,
- 46:13Speaker 3: So they'll never do it.
- 46:15Speaker 7: You'll never see it.
- 46:16Speaker 3: And I believe what was cut out of Eyes White
- 46:20Speaker 3: Shot was Nicole Kidman going through an MK ultra operation
- 46:24Speaker 3: and becoming one of their sex kittens.
- 46:29Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, we do.
- 46:30Speaker 2: Stanley Kubrick were really nice to Stanley Kubrick in this movie.
- 46:34Speaker 2: I could have put a lot of things in there
- 46:36Speaker 2: that would not have shown him in the best light.
- 46:41Speaker 2: But we also know that Kubrick was for sure working
- 46:45Speaker 2: with the government. We show a document in the movie
- 46:47Speaker 2: where you know, Kubrick is being sought after by the
- 46:50Speaker 2: government for some unknown project where you know, Stanley Kubrick
- 46:54Speaker 2: and four others are being looked at, and Stanley Kubrick is,
- 46:59Speaker 2: you know, being looked at his most promising for this
- 47:01Speaker 2: unknown project. And then also at the original credits for
- 47:05Speaker 2: two thousand and one of Space Odyssey, he thinked many
- 47:08Speaker 2: military organizations, the Air Force, Lingley, you know, all of
- 47:15Speaker 2: these intelligence communities, and then later on those were cut out.
- 47:19Speaker 2: So it's pretty safe to say that Qubreaic, in one
- 47:23Speaker 2: form or another did have contracts with the government. And
- 47:27Speaker 2: we also show documents in the movie showing the CIA
- 47:31Speaker 2: and the military's infiltration into film production like the Transformers
- 47:35Speaker 2: movie Tomorrow Never Dies and things like that. So they
- 47:41Speaker 2: have been involved, and it stands the reason that you know,
- 47:45Speaker 2: Cubic kind of put them in there originally in two
- 47:47Speaker 2: thousand and one of Space Odyssey, and then someone seen it.
- 47:50Speaker 2: It was like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you
- 47:51Speaker 2: can't be put in our organization, our military organization, and
- 47:56Speaker 2: our intelligence community organization, names and the credits of your movie.
- 48:00Speaker 2: He got to get those things out of there, so
- 48:02Speaker 2: we cut them out.
- 48:03Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 48:04Speaker 3: It's also interesting that the only that when Clockwork Orange
- 48:11Speaker 3: came out, there was all this gang violence that was
- 48:13Speaker 3: going on in England and America. And I actually saw
- 48:16Speaker 3: a bunch of drugs in New York City walking down
- 48:18Speaker 3: the street one day, dresses exactly like Alex and his drugs.
- 48:22Speaker 3: And Kubrick pulled a clockwork Orange from England. And first off,
- 48:28Speaker 3: a director doesn't have that power. A director can't pull
- 48:31Speaker 3: a film. It's impossible. He's the studio.
- 48:35Speaker 7: Owns a film.
- 48:36Speaker 3: He doesn't own the film, And why would the studio
- 48:38Speaker 3: pull the film from the place where the action is
- 48:42Speaker 3: all taking place.
- 48:43Speaker 7: In the film.
- 48:44Speaker 3: And so my theory is is that there that Stanley
- 48:52Speaker 3: Kubrick made a clockwork Orange knowing that it was going
- 48:57Speaker 3: to create imitation crimes, and he was so afraid that
- 49:05Speaker 3: how powerful the film was because there were a lot
- 49:07Speaker 3: of incidences at the time, that he pulled the film
- 49:11Speaker 3: in England so that he would be safe, well he.
- 49:16Speaker 5: Would look like a good guy.
- 49:19Speaker 7: Yeah, but again, I don't know.
- 49:22Speaker 3: You know there was something about that film because I
- 49:25Speaker 3: went to go see Clockwork Orange. I was a baby
- 49:27Speaker 3: seventeen at the time, and I went to see it
- 49:30Speaker 3: with a few of my high school friends. And we
- 49:32Speaker 3: were all just straight students, and you know, we like movies,
- 49:36Speaker 3: but we weren't like criminals or anything. But after we
- 49:39Speaker 3: saw a Clockwork Orange, two of the four of my
- 49:42Speaker 3: friends turned into criminals, started going out and doing violence
- 49:46Speaker 3: and robbing people and got arrested. And I always thought
- 49:49Speaker 3: ever since, was a Clockwork Orange that triggered these guys?
- 49:53Speaker 7: You know what was it? And I'm not alone.
- 49:56Speaker 3: A lot of people have noticed that the first time
- 49:59Speaker 3: you hours of a Clockwork Orange, males mostly tend to
- 50:04Speaker 3: become kind of adoring Alex and his actions. Here's the
- 50:13Speaker 3: thing about Clockwork Orange.
- 50:15Speaker 7: You like Alex.
- 50:18Speaker 3: Stanley Kubrick took a psychopath and made him likable, and
- 50:22Speaker 3: that is almost an impossible chore right to do that,
- 50:26Speaker 3: and he did it. And so you're cheering on Alex
- 50:29Speaker 3: doing terrible things to people.
- 50:33Speaker 2: Leading to the demoralization and the destabilization of countries, just
- 50:38Speaker 2: like Ury Bezmanoff was talking about in the early eighties,
- 50:40Speaker 2: which we have a clip of Ury bezman Off in
- 50:43Speaker 2: our movie not talking about that exact thing. But if
- 50:46Speaker 2: you were to go back and listen to all of
- 50:49Speaker 2: his interviews in the early eighties, you will see that
- 50:52Speaker 2: that is the exact same type of thing that they're
- 50:55Speaker 2: trying to do. I mean, what he was talking about
- 50:58Speaker 2: back then is exactly what has been happening for decades now.
- 51:03Speaker 2: The demoralization, the destabilization, the crisis, and then normalization. Those
- 51:08Speaker 2: are his four steps to subverting an entire country. And
- 51:11Speaker 2: in the movie we talk about it. We show the
- 51:13Speaker 2: clip where it's being infiltrated into the school system, because
- 51:18Speaker 2: Kathie O'Brien is like, we've known about this, you know,
- 51:22Speaker 2: for a really long time, and it's been infiltrated into
- 51:24Speaker 2: the school system, and then boom up pops Jury besman
- 51:26Speaker 2: Off talking about how if we pump Marxist Leninism ideology
- 51:30Speaker 2: into the soft heads of students, then you know, the
- 51:35Speaker 2: agenda is going to be complete in eighteen to twenty
- 51:39Speaker 2: years because those people that were pumping this information into
- 51:43Speaker 2: now are going to grow up to be the leaders
- 51:46Speaker 2: and the people that are going to be creating policy
- 51:48Speaker 2: and in control of education in the future, right.
- 51:53Speaker 5: I saw a Clockwork Orange in ninety nine, So immediately
- 51:58Speaker 5: after Stanley had died, that film was re released in
- 52:02Speaker 5: the UK, so literally the minute he was gone, it
- 52:06Speaker 5: was back on release in the cinemas. So yeah, and
- 52:12Speaker 5: I went to see it when I was drunk with
- 52:13Speaker 5: a friend and we just spent the whole time laughing.
- 52:16Speaker 5: So I wouldn't do that now, but that was me
- 52:19Speaker 5: and my irresponsible youth. So Ryder, how did you decide
- 52:24Speaker 5: who you would include in your film to discuss the shining?
- 52:28Speaker 5: So you've kind of got myself featured in there, and
- 52:31Speaker 5: you two guys, and there's three others as well, So
- 52:33Speaker 5: how did you decide who you would get to tell
- 52:36Speaker 5: the story through their narration?
- 52:39Speaker 2: Well, Walter Bosley because he was an AFSI Air Force
- 52:43Speaker 2: special agent and he confirmed a lot of the things
- 52:46Speaker 2: that we were mentioning in our film with the Air Force,
- 52:50Speaker 2: you know, basically doing MK ultra type technologies, and then
- 52:55Speaker 2: the Lookout Mountain Air Force base on top of Laurel
- 52:58Speaker 2: Canyon that we talk about that as a focus of
- 53:01Speaker 2: the movie. Kathy O'Brien because she's an MK Ultra monarch
- 53:06Speaker 2: mind control survivor and in the movie, when Danny sees
- 53:12Speaker 2: the twins, there's a poster on the wall to the left,
- 53:14Speaker 2: and you know, I wasn't the first person to see
- 53:17Speaker 2: the poster. I'm just gonna come out and you know,
- 53:20Speaker 2: say that because I feel like that it's important and
- 53:23Speaker 2: to be honorable in this work. I wasn't the first
- 53:26Speaker 2: person to see the poster, but I was the first
- 53:28Speaker 2: person to decode the poster as an mk ultra style technology.
- 53:35Speaker 2: Because everybody else on the side said that it was
- 53:38Speaker 2: a minotaur, or that it was a ski resort, or
- 53:42Speaker 2: was referring to Monarch Mountain. No one had put two
- 53:45Speaker 2: and two together and thought, oh well, what about Monarch
- 53:49Speaker 2: mk ultra mind control? And that's what really triggered me.
- 53:55Speaker 2: When I seen that, I was like, holy shit. And
- 53:58Speaker 2: then everything else started clicking afterwards, and then I'm finding
- 54:01Speaker 2: other things in there, like the Catcher and the rye
- 54:04Speaker 2: that when he was reading in the beginning, Jack doing
- 54:07Speaker 2: psyche driving just like sir how Sir Holmes doing, and
- 54:12Speaker 2: and yourself because Jay knew you. I did, wasn't I
- 54:19Speaker 2: was familiar with your work. But I'm super happy that
- 54:22Speaker 2: we got you in the film because I really think
- 54:23Speaker 2: that it really brings everything together. It would be highly
- 54:28Speaker 2: lacking if you weren't in their brother and Joe Outwell
- 54:33Speaker 2: because of the Catcher in the Rye.
- 54:36Speaker 3: Yeah, Joe Atwell is the expert on the Catcher in
- 54:39Speaker 3: the Rye. I've had many conversations about the book and
- 54:42Speaker 3: realized that he had to be the guy that we
- 54:45Speaker 3: got because he really has a great interpretation of this
- 54:49Speaker 3: very nasty book.
- 54:52Speaker 5: I learned a lot about the Catcher in the Rye
- 54:54Speaker 5: from Joe Atwill's inclusion there.
- 54:57Speaker 10: Didn't know that stuff, no, And you know, I mean,
- 55:03Speaker 10: I personally think Catcher the Rye should be banned, and
- 55:06Speaker 10: now they're making everybody read it in high school.
- 55:08Speaker 7: And I don't think anybody should be reading this book.
- 55:11Speaker 3: But you know, I'm not against banning books, so I'm
- 55:13Speaker 3: not going to do it. But if there was one
- 55:15Speaker 3: book that I could ban, it would be Catcher in
- 55:17Speaker 3: the Rye.
- 55:18Speaker 7: And and it's really not even a very good book.
- 55:24Speaker 5: But it's mandatory reading in schools and colleges. Go figure
- 55:27Speaker 5: has been for decades.
- 55:29Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I can't figure that one out, except
- 55:31Speaker 3: that they're part of the mk Ultra program.
- 55:34Speaker 7: It's like buzz an offset and.
- 55:36Speaker 5: They want people reading that book.
- 55:38Speaker 7: I want people to read it. They want people to
- 55:41Speaker 7: get mired in that stuff.
- 55:42Speaker 3: And you know, he's really a nasty person. What's his name,
- 55:48Speaker 3: I can't remember his name anymore, you know, the title
- 55:53Speaker 3: character of Catcher.
- 55:54Speaker 5: In the Rye Holden Coolfield Field.
- 55:57Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not even a very nice person. He's clearly
- 56:00Speaker 3: sleeping with his sister who's twelve years old. He says
- 56:03Speaker 3: it several times in the book, right, that he sleeps
- 56:06Speaker 3: with in the double bed with her right, And you
- 56:09Speaker 3: know it's like, okay, you're nineteen and she's twelve. Okay, right,
- 56:14Speaker 3: And it's like over and over throughout the book. You know,
- 56:17Speaker 3: he's just this weird stuff goes on. You know, he
- 56:21Speaker 3: goes into the whole thing about he has a certain
- 56:23Speaker 3: hat that he puts on and that's his people killing hat,
- 56:26Speaker 3: and he goes around killing people.
- 56:28Speaker 7: When he wears that hat, he's like, what what are
- 56:32Speaker 7: you talking about? Right?
- 56:33Speaker 3: And then only in the context of freemasonry and secret
- 56:36Speaker 3: societies can you begin to unravel what's really going on
- 56:40Speaker 3: and to Catcher in the Rye. And then you find
- 56:43Speaker 3: out that JD. Salinger was in the Oss precursor to
- 56:46Speaker 3: the CIA. He was in Germany at the end of
- 56:49Speaker 3: World War Two, probably debriefing the Nazi scientist for Operation
- 56:53Speaker 3: paper Clip. You know, all of a sudden, it all
- 56:56Speaker 3: begins to work together, the Swastika on the Wall and
- 57:00Speaker 3: Catcher in the Rye and mk Ultra, and it all
- 57:04Speaker 3: just to be. When we were first discussing this, because
- 57:08Speaker 3: I'd known about the Catcher in the Rye, I read
- 57:10Speaker 3: Joe at Little Stuff, and then I realized, my god,
- 57:14Speaker 3: he first time that you meet Wendy and Danny, she's
- 57:18Speaker 3: reading Catcher.
- 57:18Speaker 7: In the Rye.
- 57:19Speaker 3: My god, you know, she's like it. And it's probably
- 57:23Speaker 3: Jack's book. He's the writer, so he probably owns that
- 57:25Speaker 3: book and she's just borrowing it and reading it.
- 57:28Speaker 7: But still, what's amazing.
- 57:32Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the Catcher in the Rye is another
- 57:34Speaker 2: demoralization and another destabilization of the population, and that's a
- 57:40Speaker 2: big reason why it's mandatory reading. I think the Holden
- 57:43Speaker 2: Cawfield within the book would be classified as like an
- 57:48Speaker 2: insul in today's times. That's what he kind of seems
- 57:53Speaker 2: like to me, is like in soul. He doesn't know
- 57:58Speaker 2: what's going on in the world. He's trying to find
- 58:00Speaker 2: his place in the world, and he's you know, it's
- 58:04Speaker 2: kind of like what a lot of these mass shooters are. Yeah,
- 58:11Speaker 2: and you think, yes, that's exactly right, you know.
- 58:15Speaker 3: And the two Catcher in the Rye assassinations happened within
- 58:19Speaker 3: one year of the release of The Shining Uh. John
- 58:23Speaker 3: Lennon's murder and the tempted assassination of Reagan.
- 58:27Speaker 5: That really is interesting timing, Yeah.
- 58:30Speaker 7: Really is. And you think about again, think about clockwork Orange.
- 58:33Speaker 3: And the the the uh, you know, imitation and criminals
- 58:38Speaker 3: running around both in England and America, right, and then
- 58:42Speaker 3: you have two guys that react to you know, that
- 58:45Speaker 3: are killing two major people, and they both got Catcher
- 58:48Speaker 3: in the Rye on him. Mark David Chapman shot Lennon
- 58:52Speaker 3: six times and then sat down on the on this
- 58:55Speaker 3: little rock bench and it just started reading it. And
- 58:58Speaker 3: the guy said, you just shot John and he goes, yeah,
- 59:00Speaker 3: I know. He goes, well, what are you doing? He goes,
- 59:03Speaker 3: I'm waiting for the cops.
- 59:04Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 59:06Speaker 7: So it's like, okay, okay.
- 59:08Speaker 2: And then the Corty stood up and said, if you
- 59:10Speaker 2: want my defense, all you gotta do is Recatcher in
- 59:13Speaker 2: the Rye. And then it's also said that I actually
- 59:16Speaker 2: have a book here called The one hundred Most Famous Criminals,
- 59:22Speaker 2: and it talks about him in there. And so apparently
- 59:26Speaker 2: a psychologist went to visit him in prison a couple
- 59:28Speaker 2: of years later, and the psychologist said that he was
- 59:32Speaker 2: still reading Catcher in the RYE.
- 59:35Speaker 5: Have you noticed that Mark Chapman and John Hinckley Jr.
- 59:38Speaker 5: Look very alike as well?
- 59:40Speaker 7: They do?
- 59:42Speaker 3: Right?
- 59:43Speaker 2: I was getting kind of confused, to be one percent
- 59:46Speaker 2: honest Mark when I was making the movie, like because
- 59:48Speaker 2: I had all the images and stuff all like kind
- 59:51Speaker 2: of scrambled up, and I'm like, looking at.
- 59:53Speaker 5: Both of them, I'm like, very similar.
- 59:55Speaker 2: He's the same guy, like, And I had to go
- 59:58Speaker 2: back and check several times and like look it up
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: to make sure I have Whenever we were mentioning Mark
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: David Chapman and John Hinckley that I was getting the
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: right people when we were talking about them, they look
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: almost identical.
- 1:00:11Speaker 5: And a young Stephen King looks quite like them as well.
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: Mark David Chapman looks like Stephen King when who's like
- 1:00:17Speaker 3: twenty years old.
- 1:00:19Speaker 7: That's yeah.
- 1:00:20Speaker 3: Then there's other things about The Shining we don't mention,
- 1:00:23Speaker 3: like one other movie has two of the leads have
- 1:00:27Speaker 3: the same name as the person they're playing, Jack Nicholson
- 1:00:30Speaker 3: as Jack and Danny as Danny. And then his co
- 1:00:34Speaker 3: writer Diane Johnson has the D in the J as
- 1:00:39Speaker 3: their initials as Danny and Jack have And you got
- 1:00:43Speaker 3: to wonder did Kubrick hire Jack Nicholson because he has.
- 1:00:47Speaker 7: The same name as the character. There's something going on here,
- 1:00:51Speaker 7: you know, just weird.
- 1:00:53Speaker 5: Yeah, so your film has been out on Prime for
- 1:00:57Speaker 5: what a couple of weeks now? So what sort of reaction,
- 1:01:00Speaker 5: What sort of reactions have you had? What sort of
- 1:01:03Speaker 5: comments have people been making? Have there been any surprise
- 1:01:06Speaker 5: reactions to it at all?
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: One Bob gave me a bad review and you don't
- 1:01:10Speaker 3: like me, clearly, But everybody else has just given us
- 1:01:14Speaker 3: nothing but glorious reviews.
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been overwhelmingly positive. And I think people are
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: shocked because they are expecting a movie about Stanley Kubrick
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: and the Shining, which is the main focus of the movie,
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: but it really ties in so many other things, which
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: is a big nod to having you Mark in the documentary.
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: It's not only about Stanley Kubrick and the Shining, but
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: it's about the music industry of the sixties. It's about
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: the film industry, it's about MK Ultra, it's about the military,
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: it's about all these different topics that are all wrapped
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: up into this movie. And I think that that is
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: really shocking for a lot of people because some people
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: they know a little bit about some of the topics
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: that we cover in there, but the way that we
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: present it is because I've had several people that have
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: hit me up and they've been like that, I've been
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: what I would be considered a week for like ten years,
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: and I'm still shocked by watching your documentary. So it's
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: really a testament to the people that are in the
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: documentary and the information that we present.
- 1:02:21Speaker 5: Yeah, you did a great job with it. Is it
- 1:02:23Speaker 5: ever going to be available on DVD or is it
- 1:02:25Speaker 5: exclusive to Prime like Ongoing?
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: Well, supposedly our distributor is going to put it out
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: on DVD. I don't know that they were going to
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: do jk X and they never did it. So I'm
- 1:02:38Speaker 3: going to really press this one to have it out
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: on DVD. I want permanent, you know, permanent film, and
- 1:02:46Speaker 3: you can't get that on streaming.
- 1:02:49Speaker 7: So the other thing.
- 1:02:51Speaker 3: I'll say before we go here is that I had
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: a private showing here in my town with about ten
- 1:02:57Speaker 3: people who went to see it, and then I had
- 1:02:59Speaker 3: follow up conversation after they saw it, and they were
- 1:03:02Speaker 3: all shook up. Every one of them was shook up.
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: They're all, oh my God. And then I think what
- 1:03:09Speaker 3: we really did, which the most diversive thing we did,
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: is we used a pop culture icon, Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece,
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: The Shining, to reveal the truth about the MK Ultra programs.
- 1:03:22Speaker 3: So people are going to go to see thinking they're
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: going to see one movie, and they're actually going to
- 1:03:27Speaker 3: come and get the normy kicked out.
- 1:03:29Speaker 5: Of them Stanley style.
- 1:03:32Speaker 7: Stanley style.
- 1:03:34Speaker 5: Yeah, I kind of knew where you were going with
- 1:03:36Speaker 5: it when I filmed my parts, but I didn't know
- 1:03:39Speaker 5: how it was all going to come together. So when
- 1:03:41Speaker 5: I saw it with all the other contributors as well,
- 1:03:44Speaker 5: I was also blown away. I was like, well, now
- 1:03:47Speaker 5: I see the completion of what you thought you were
- 1:03:52Speaker 5: you done covered with this film, so it really all
- 1:03:54Speaker 5: comes together in a mind blowing way.
- 1:03:57Speaker 7: Thank you.
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one of the things that even shocked me
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: when I was watching the movie, because I watched it
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: so many times, and I'm sitting there thinking, I'm like,
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: holy shit, this is the reason why people can be
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: as amazing at whatever it is that they do, and
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: they'll never really get anywhere. That's another one of the
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: realizations from this movie too, Like you can be the
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: best singer in the world, you can be the best
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: freaking podcaster in the world, you can be the best musician,
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: the best guitar player. But if you don't have the
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: right connections and the right people behind you, your family
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: isn't involved in the right things, you're not gonna make it.
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: And that's a really big realization and one that hit
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: me really hard while I was making the movie. Oh shit,
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: this is the reason. This is why. So it's a
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: I really hope people go out and support it because
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: it's independent. We put this thing together all on our own,
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: and we know the Hollywood is slowly dying. It's been
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: dead for a while now, and this is the new thing,
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: is independent filmmakers. And I hope people you can get
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: it on You should be able to get it in
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: the UK and in the United States, But if you
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: can't get it on Amazon Prime, if you're in another
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: country that doesn't allow you to get it. It's also
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: on Apple TV as well, so if your country allows
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: you to get Apple TV, you can watch it on
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: there and here. In a couple of months, we should
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: be getting it up to where everyone can be able
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: to watch it no matter what country they're in. But
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: it is on Amazon Prime and Apple TV.
- 1:05:43Speaker 5: So, yeah, were you surprised that Amazon took it because
- 1:05:48Speaker 5: we're not talking normy material here, We're talking, you know,
- 1:05:51Speaker 5: some pretty controversial stuff.
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: I was not. I wasn't because I knew. I knew
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: that Amazon was. I more surprised that they took JFKX
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: to one hundred percent. Be honest, I was more surprised
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: with that one than than because it's coded in a
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: way that we're not actually outright telling you about these things.
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: They're they're hidden within, like Jay was saying, like a
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: pop culture icon within Stanley Kubrick and the Shiny So
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: it's kind of disguised as a And that's kind of
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: what we did with JFKX too, because in JFKX, the
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: first forty minutes of the movie, it's just a history
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: of the jfk assassination. It doesn't really reveal anything new
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: until forty minutes in, and a lot of people say that,
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: you know, if you're going to talk about really controversial things,
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: don't put it in until thirty minutes after on anything,
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: because the AI can't doesn't go past thirty minutes. So
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: that's a trick, a technique for anybody out there that
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: produces content like this or does movies or even YouTube
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: videos or podcasts. Try not to bring up anything controversial
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: until after thirty minutes in because they won't be able
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: to they won't be able to do anything about it.
- 1:07:16Speaker 5: That's a good tip, all right, Phyllis, thanks for coming
- 1:07:19Speaker 5: on today. Much appreciate it.
- 1:07:21Speaker 7: Thank you man for having us really appreciate it. The
- 1:07:23Speaker 7: buildings behind me with the headquarters for the World War
- 1:07:26Speaker 7: Two Office of Strategic Service.
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: It was here that the first halting steps toward mind
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: control began.
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: The ten years before Stanley Kubrick made The Shining, he
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: made another film. There's a film about Micco All the
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: Clockwork Goorn.
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: The Shining is one movie that has really been put
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: through the ringer and one thing that people really don't
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: notice that doesn't really make a lot of sense.
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: All during the shoot, Kubrick is rewriting the movie.
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: What we see here is Stanley Cue trying to encode
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: a secret meaning into The Shining that he doesn't want
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: anyone to know about.
- 1:08:08Speaker 3: Kubrick has several references to Freemasonry in his films.
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: There's a lady that walks past that has a bloody
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: hamprint on her ass.
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: The Shining is Kubrick's eleventh film, and there's elevens all
- 1:08:21Speaker 3: through the film. Eleven is a special number in occult theology.
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: The Shining has been regarded as one of the greatest
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: horror films ever made, but is it really a horror film?
- 1:08:33Speaker 3: The Shining also is loaded with sexual innuendo.
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: The family is isolated up at the overlook, which is
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: a perfect opportunity for some sort of CIA experimentation to
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: go down up.
- 1:08:46Speaker 6: There, using mk ultra methods psycheatrically control, assassin literally assassins.
- 1:08:58Speaker 6: Experimental drugs, including LSD were administered to human guinea pigs.
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: The patients were never told that their treatment was part
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: of a CIA experiment.
- 1:09:08Speaker 5: And there was this story which involves him spiking the
- 1:09:12Speaker 5: drinks of one of his deputies, this guy, Frank Olsen,
- 1:09:17Speaker 5: and he jumped out of a window to his death.
- 1:09:22Speaker 9: It's a demonic possession, you know, so it makes someone
- 1:09:26Speaker 9: feel like they don't have any control over this etherical
- 1:09:30Speaker 9: entity outside themselves, when really it's the people who are
- 1:09:33Speaker 9: imposing the trauma that need to be held accountable for
- 1:09:36Speaker 9: the actions.
- 1:09:39Speaker 4: Stuts.
- 1:09:40Speaker 6: We know what happened in the apartment that they had.
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: There are many clues that point to the fact that
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: this theory of what the Shining is really about is
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: the correct theory.
- 1:09:52Speaker 3: We think that we're watching a horror movie where ghosts
- 1:09:56Speaker 3: are kind of forcing a man to go off and
- 1:09:59Speaker 3: kill his family.
- 1:10:00Speaker 7: Wade, what are we really watching her?
- 1:10:11Speaker 8: Welcome to the Hotel California, Wendy, I'm home.
