Castle Rock Critical: A podcast dedicated to Hulu's Castle Rock and Stephen King

It's over....how did that finale make you feel? Lets just say this is going to be divisive and so it proved to be in our podcast...there were a lot of different blueberry ratings this week. They threw a lot at the wall and some stuck but some just didn't. Overall though, this show has been excellent and we gather once more to recap the final episode this season at the Mellow Tiger. Please...

We teamed up with our friends over at Castle Rock Historical Society to take your questions and to try to make sense of this show before the finale. We had some beers and some laughs and the questions from you listeners were fantastic. We will be doing another team up after the finale so be sure to check that out too, but until then, lets hope this show can stick the landing and deliver us a satis...

The penultimate episode answers a lot of our questions...but does it ask a lot more? The whole gang are together this week to discuss this excellent show. But not all of us are thrilled with the alternate reality idea. As usual we deep dive into the episode and give you all the Stephen King links as well as answering your emails and theories too.   If you have enjoyed then please do subscribe and...

We are on the home stretch and this episode delivers another strong showing. After last weeks beautiful and season high episode 'The Queen' we revisit our other major characters as Henry is freed from his Schisma prison. Not only that but we get an excellent shift in focus to two new'ish' characters who steal a lot of the limelight this week. If you enjoy please do subscribe and fo...

Wow...the best episode of the season...or the best episode of television this year? Len loves it as does Gareth and Lucy but John and Emma have some doubts...It's extremely tragic as we see one of our most beloved characters on the show leave us and we watch the horrors of dementia through Ruth's eyes. So come and listen and raise a glass to the the white knight of Castle Rock.    

Over the halfway stage of the season and we are starting to get answers. The 'Voice of God' is talking to us...or at least thats what Reverend Deaver thought, Odin our new mysterious scientist has a more technical answer and Alan Pangborn makes a deal with the 'Devil' to try and save his Ruth.

The strongest episode of the season impresses the Castle Rock Critical gang. Some excellent plot developments mixed with some sinister nightmarish sequences leave us wanting more. We find out more about The Kid and finally we start to see the caring and very sweet relationship between Alan Pangborn and Ruth Deaver.

Wow another massive shock in this episode! It's fair to say this show doesn't coast by with no major developments. The gang are left stunned by the ending and the loss of one of our favourite characters. The town of Castle Rock and the menace that inhabits it is certainly growing...

The third episode continues to build strong foundations for the season. We focus this week on the character of Molly Strand and her psychic or empathic abilities. We see a lot more of her and Henrys relationship and get a shocking reveal about her past!   If you have enjoyed this podcast please subscribe and follow the show with us.   We are on instagram @fan_critical Twitter as @fancriticalpod an...

The second episode builds upon the excellent pilot whilst continuing to give us more mysteries to solve! We learn more about former Warden Dale Lacey and we discover that his relationship with former Sheriff and Stephen King mainstay Alan Pangborn is much more important than we first thought!

It's finally here, we recap on what we think is an excellent pilot episode! The tone is firmly established and the hidden easter eggs aren't intrusive whilst adding an excellent sneak peek into the Stephen King universe. If you like what you hear please subscribe we will have the next two episodes covering episodes 2 and 3 in the next few days!  If you want to follow us on Instagram its @f...

While we wait for the show to begin on July 25th here's our IT podcast from last year. IT is a fantastic Stephen King novel and the most recent adaptation was excellent. Our first episode covering Castle Rock will be out 3 days after the shows premiere. If you have enjoyed our preview podcasts then please do subscribe via iTunes or any podcast app and Spotify. Thanks.

We preview our thoughts on the show which premieres later this month. We are spreading our podcasting wings and are very excited to be covering this show which looks to combine some of our favourite Stephen King works in one centralised location.
