Ep 151Episode 29-Interview With Josh Brucker

Welcome back, everyone. In July of 2017, I had the pleasure of interviewing fellow Constant Reader, Josh Brucker, who was working on the Dollar Baby, One For the Road, based on the short story from Night Shift. Thought the project never manifested, it was a great conversation and can be heard here. As always, write in at [email protected] Follow me on Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook and Bluesky.

Ep 290Episode 25-Chapelwaite

In the fall of 2021, an adaptation of Stephen King's Jerusalem's Lot premiered. A moody, thoughtful vampire tale starring Adrian Brody, it could have--should have--been the buzzworthy show, but unfortunately, the once-in-a-lifetime's shadow of Midnight Mass covered it in generational bat's wing. It should have been talked about. So that's why I'm here, to dig up this vampire yarn from its grave to give it life once more!

S1 Ep 8Episode 15-Night Shift (Part Two)

In this week's episode of The Stephen Kingcast, I examine Stephen King's first collection of short stories: Night Shift. Rather than analyzing each one, I analyze the remaining short stories that I didn't touch upon last week. Please note that this episode originally aired on July 10, 2017, which was three years after last episode, so some of the things discussed in last episode never came to fruition the way that we had hoped, and as you'll see from this episode, things discussed here never came to pass, either. But unbeknownst to all of us, in just a little bit over a month, the manhole covers on the streets of Stephen King IP were about to explode out of the ground and shoot farther than we could have possibly imagined. . .It: Chapter One was right around the corner. . . During the time of this original recording, I examined the stories I hadn't covered three years prior, answered listener e-mail, discussed some potential Stephen King movie news (www.onefortheroad2018.com) and peddled some dope t-shirts (http://www.ka-tet19.com) As always, write in at [email protected] Follow me on Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook and Bluesky.
