King Me

This week's story is about a couple in the middle of a divorce and a maitre d' with a knife.

What happens when Annie Wilkes ends up in Jerusalem's Lot? Not what you'd think. Death by ice cream scooper! Newel post impaling! The undead French! And somehow it's still one of the worst things we've watched. Get weekly bonus content on our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/kingmepod

Hill of the King Me! This week we've got an adaptation based on the father/son team up we've all been waiting for. And how does it go? Eh, ok. There is a decent amount to like here even if it does feel like a weird stew of other King stories. Tall grass fields, much like corn fields, are haunted. It kinda feels like this tall grass and the corn kids are competing for the same demographic of "people driving through the midwest and making the foolish mistake of stopping." Like when a Starbucks opens up across the street from a Dunkin Donuts. They should do a grass/corn crossover. Get weekly bonus content on our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/kingmepod

We’re trying something a little different this week, as one of our earliest Dollar Baby short stories gets a feature-length studio adaptation. THE BOOGEYMAN is scheduled to come out on June 2, 2023, and we’re taking some time to talk over the newly released trailer. After the break, we discuss some other King things in various stages of production.

Our first attempt at analyzing a novel is King's second novel, and we find we're actually pretty good at it, although Dan's gotta calm down with all the note tabs. We discuss the good people of Jerusalem's Lot, the pig it's named for, and begin to touch on some of the themes King lays the groundwork for early on.

We celebrate the recent addition of Andrzej Żuławski's POSSESSION to the Shudder library with a lively discussion concerning rocking chair safety and the origins of tentacle porn. Despite being lauded at its debut at Cannes, the film was largely overlooked by the mainstream, with England going as far as adding it to its list of video nasties. Since then it's garnered a reputation among film buffs, including our own Rob Avon. To hear the full episode, visit patreon.com/kingmepod

It weeks like just yesterday, Lou Linklater shot Mr Mercedes in the face. Season three is all about the consequences of season two AND a very famous, very shot in the head, dead author named John Rothstein.

Thus concludes our longest-ever Townie Profile segment. As we put season one of NOS4A2 in the books, we finally address the elephant in the room: that Zach Quinto fella is not the strongest actor. And we once again find ourselves wishing this show was just a character-based drama about a working class family in Massachusetts.

Grab your your board and your best girl(s) - we’re going to Beachworld! Adapted in 2019 from a story of same name, Jackie Perez’s Beachworld tells the story of two members of a spaceship crew marooned on a desert planet. There’s only sand as far as the eye can see, and yet the sand itself seems to hold a certain…allure…yes… After the break we take a look at the source material, which was first published in Weird Tales in 1984 and then again the following year as part of the Skeleton Crew collection.
