This week's baby is about a dream and an aging couple that don't like each other anymore. This is also the first time we have disagreed so firmly on anything. It's an all out bloodbath.

We decided to rename our reading series to something less repulsive. Condolences to anyone who grew attached to the Greedy Little Book Boys. For our next book we're digging in on The Outsider, to pair with our watch of the HBO series. Turns out the series is remarkably faithful to it's source material, which gives us a chance to have a more free-flowing conversation about the first half of Stephen...

Once again Stephen King is in his detective bag for THE OUTSIDER, a truly bleak murder mystery that is head and shoulders above MR. MERCEDES and other similar offerings. Comparisons between the two are, in fact, hard to avoid, as both feature ace private investigator Holly Gibney (played by Cynthia Erivo here). This portrayal of Holly turns out to be one of several strong performances (Mare Winnin...

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!

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 "peopl...

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. THE BOOGEYMAN (2023) Trailer: https://www.youtube...

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.

This is it! The end of the road for Mr Mercedes. Does it stink the landing? Do all of our friends make it to the end safely? Does a guy get his nose shot off over some books?

If you ever find yourself driving in a blizzard, through a town called Jerusalem's Lot, don't stop. Keep driving and don't look back until you've left that town behind you. This week we talking about two short films based on the story One For the Road, an epilogue to Salem's Lot.

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,...

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. Our Scooby gang have to figure out who the killer is while helping Lou stay out of prison. Business as usual in Bridgton, Ohio. Get weekly episodes and request movies on our Patreon: https://pa...

We’re headed back to Autopsy Room Four with a Dollar Baby adaptation that really leans into the Alfred Hitchock Presents of it all.

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.
