King Me

Here there be a King Me Baby about a story written by a Baby King! No, not the Christ Child in his manger, but Stephen King circa high school. At the risk of spoiling this story, let's just say there are scarier things that can happen in a bathroom than finding a bobcat. Our adaptation from 2017 is brief without really sacrificing any plot elements...and still it feels thin. Maybe this says more about the source material than anything. Who can say.

Look at that young man over there! He looks like he's in love. Smiling away with his flowers and hammer.

Here it is. The end of season 2 of MR. MERCEDES. Brady's been in a coma controlling people through telepathy and he become a lawnmower man. These are wild swings. It's a good thing they ditch all of that in the last two episodes for something completely different. Get weekly bonus content on our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/kingmepod

This poem - this poem - was adapted into a short film in 2000, and in the most 2000 way possible. Lots of browns and yellows in the color palate, and the star of the short is inexplicably in her underwear.

This week's baby is a no-budget adaptation of I AM THE DOORWAY and it's pretty good.

Something is amiss in Bridgton, Ohio. Relatively straightforward cat-and-mouse detective stories are vanishing at a troubling rate. Season two of MR. MERCEDES is a departure from season one - mostly not for the better. Still, we find ourselves relishing any opportunity to get our Glees on. This episode also features an interview with Spanish film star Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men, Bicky Christhtina Barthelona) Get weekly bonus content on our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/kingmepod

What's that smell? It's GRAY MATTER of course.

What a silly idea for a story. What if a finger was poking out of your sink drain? This week’s baby is from the series MONSTERS. It features Tom Noonan being driven insane by one little finger in the drain. It’s very silly and you know how we feel about that.

Does this series pay off everything it's been setting up? Of course not. This week on King Me, it's one of the most boring things we've ever covered, CASTLE ROCK SEASON 1 PART 2. But we did have fun destroying this piece.

We're trying something different this week. Enjoy the this conversation about the adaptation of THE REVELATIONS OF BECKA PAULSON. To hear us discuss the short story check out our patreon.

This week's episode is for the die hard King Me fans. The ones that like to hear Dan and Rob go off on every tangent. This week we're "discussing" the Hulu original series CASTLE ROCK (2018). It was a show marketed as sort of a Stephen King shared universe. What it turned out to be was a boring waste of time. This show is so boring, Rob took an edible before recording because he just wanted to feel something. Enjoy!

Boy, this episode title's looking like a damn secret code. Join us as we surf a wave of rats out of our first 100 episodes with a discussion of Zak Hilditch's 1922.

Out from behind the paywall is the first episode of our new weekly series, King Me Babies, in which we discuss short films produced as part of Stephen King's Dollar Baby program. You've probably heard us mention the Dollar Babies on the show: since the late '70s, Stephen King has allowed independent filmmakers to produce non-commercial adaptations of select works of his for the low, low price of one dollar. In addition to giving us the opportunity to discuss Frank Darabont's first-ever film (available now on Patreon), we also get to reassess some stories already produced as commercial films. In the most technical sense, The Lawnmower Man is one such story. To access all of our bonus content, head over here: https://www.patreon.com/kingmepod?fan_landing=true

27 years after we recorded our episode about IT (1990), we return to talk about IT (2017), which we feel has more heart than the original, and we’re certain has more clown drool. Plus, our old friend, the kooky old Iberian lethario himself, Javier Bardem stops by to talk in an ever-evolving accent about his recent project, COVID-diecinueve.

Like so many Brady Hartsfelds before us, we have become unraveled by thinking about Brendan Gleeson for too long. As we close out our discussion of season one of Mr. Mercedes (an AT&T Original Series), we are deep in our silly boy bag. Vintage King Me.
