Wow, the crossfade while still talking is unsettling. 0:44

If you’re doing classic 80s horror, please do John Carpenter’s The Thing so we can really have a slideshow from “The Thing You Just Watched”

Making pitch meetings for classics is tight!!!

I will never get tired of seeing his backgrounds match the time period of whatever show the Pitch Meeting is for

To be fair, The Stanley Hotel, which is the place the Overlook is loosely based on, sits right next to Rocky Mountain National Park, which gets massive amounts of summer traffic, and very little in the winter because the park is covered in human heights of snow. And the nearby mountains are not good skiing terrain. Either too steep or not steep enough.

i saw this movie in the cinema when it came out in 1980. people left speechless, it really disturbed everyone. i hugged my family and my lovely wife extra tightly and swore never to even loose my temper, but then i realised they didn’t exist and i wasn’t even born until almost three decades later.

Ryan replicating a cross fade while he was still talking got me. So simple yet hilarious.

[briankolodziejski]

“Doing bedroom stuff” was an excelllent way around the situation lol

Appreciate Ryan always choosing the most unflattering screenshots from the thing we just watched for the slideshow at the end.

Love it when you open YouTube and there's a new pitch meeting just sitting there at the top waiting.

"He's yelling Redrum. OMG, the child's an alcoholic too"! My whiskey came out from my nose, I couldnt stop laughing!

[toddzeigler]

"Oh! A sip of the old Spirit spirit"

*approving nod, applause*

No TV and no beer make Homer something something

[StefunnyStrange]

I love this channel. 😂

The cross fade transition after commenting on the cross fade transition was hilarious.

"What?" "What was that last thing?" - just the thing you take away from The Shining that stays with you forever and ever.

“Danny escapes through the window but Wendy doesn't fit. By the way, I was thinking we could cast Shelley Duvall as Wendy”.

“Isn’t she incredibly thin?”

“She is, yes”

“So…why wouldn't she fit through the window?”

“Uhh…(checks script)…ghosts?”

“Works for me!”

[melaniemanning]

The outside of the overlook is actually the Timberline Lodge in Oregon. There is extensive skiing. I'm glad you pointed out how odd that was that they closed during the winter. 😂

"It's based on a book I glanced at"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

5:27 that guy in the bear costume traumatised me as a kid, and I didn't even understand what he was doing
