Stephen King Cast

Welcome back to the Upside Down. Many years ago, I reviewed the first season of Stranger Things, and now that cultural phenomenon has wrapped, I thought it was fitting to back to Hawkins one last time and share my thoughts on the impact of this show, its origins of the Stephen King inspirations and the successes of its finale. For any thoughts, write into stephenkingcast@yahoo.com

Hello, everyone. In this episode, I touch upon the latest Stephen King adaptation, The Running Man. Directed by Edgar Wright and starring Glen Powell, The Running Man tells the story of Ben Richards, a father and husband who has no other choice but to compete in a bloodthirsty reality-television show. Tune in for all my thoughts! 

Happy New Year, everyone! One thing I've been grateful for this year is the opportunity to discover new authors I haven't been familiar with. In this episode, I share my joy of the works of Andrew Van Wey, Keith Rosson, JH Markert, Marcus Kliewer, Nat Cassidy and Philip Fracassi. I fell in love with these authors, and I hope you do the same.

In anticipation of the premiere of HBO’s soon to be latest hit, I’ve decided to re-release the genre-flipping crime horror 2018 novel. 

I didn't think I was going to do it, but I did! Here is a top ten of the most important/best/impactful/influential works or adaptations of the works of a Stephen King property from the last decade. The beginning of the decade started out a little rocky, but as we head into 2020, he's back on top, possibly sitting larger than ever before.  2010-2019 gave us a lot of Stephen King content (including this podcast!), so plug in and hear me out as I rank my top ten works of Stephen King over the last decade!

Welcome back! As promised in the last episode, I conclude my thoughts on Full Throttle with an in-depth review of "In the Tall Grass," both the short story and the 2019 Netflix movie. How do they compare? Find out this week in the Stephen Kingcast!

Hello all! In anticipation of Mike Flanagan's film of the same name, I've decided to re-release my review of King's book. I won't be able to see the movie until next week, so I hope that this tides you over. With the positive buzz surrounding the movie, I'm glad that a lot of people are re-examining how they originally felt about the book. For all of my thoughts on why this story works, check out my review and stay tuned for all of my thoughts on the movie in an upcoming episode!
