The segment covers the intense backlash and death threats Stanley Kubrick received following the release of Clockwork Orange, which led him to withdraw from public life.

Vivian Kubrick shares anecdotes about Peter Sellers' brilliant improvisational performance in Dr. Strangelove and her father's insistence on getting the perfect take. She reiterates the claim that the CIA was suspicious of how Kubrick accurately designed the film's war room. The conversation moves to A Clockwork Orange, based on the Anthony Burgess novel, noting the intense public backlash and death threats the family received following its release.

"A Clockwork Orange" is analyzed as a depiction of "Skinner box" conditioning and trauma-based mind control, known in the film as the Ludovico Method. Jay Dyer suggested that author Anthony Burgess was likely aware of real-world psychiatric experiments at the Tavistock Clinic. The film explores the state's use of medical technology to strip individuals of free will and create a docile, submissive citizenry.
