| 0:07.3 | Because of course that's the room in Stanley Kubrick's the shining right or bad stuff happens. |
| 0:12.3 | I'm curious have you seen Ready Player One maybe you even you're the one who told me I should go see Ready Player One. |
| 0:17.8 | I guarantee you I didn't tell you you should go see it but yes I've seen it. |
| 0:23.1 | And so here's a bit of a spoiler. |
| 0:26.1 | I don't is it a spoiler I don't know at this point I feel like the movie's been out on home video for a while so I will say that in Ready Player One there is an homage to the shining. |
