The Kingcast

In this episode the boys are joined by writer/director/actor/producer/renaissance man Leigh Whannell and they break down Stand By Me. Did anyone have a run quite like Rob Reiner did in the 1980s? How different is the novella from the movie? Which of the four boys gives the best performance? What would you do if you were halfway across a train track and you heard the terrifying whistle behind you?...

Steven Weber joins Vespe and Wampler in this special bonus episode that dives deep into all his Stephen King work, from filling Jack Nicholson's shoes in Mick Garris' The Shining to narrating the audiobook for IT and many more stops into Kingville along the way. 

Crouch End was one of the best shorts in King's Nightmares and Dreamscapes and was one of the worst episodes in TNT's short lived series of the same name.

Killer sentient trucks + coked out director + insane producer = one of the most fun cult movies of the 1980s. 

Killer lipstick, a buried spaceship and a novel written at the height of King's cocaine addiction. Vespe and Wampler are joined by Tickled's David Farrier to discuss all the above and much more. 

Vespe and Wampler are joined by best selling author Mallory O'Meara (The Lady From The Black Lagoon) to delve into one of King's creepiest novels and the extremely good film adaptation that followed.
