The Kingcast

The Langoliers is an oddity in the realm of Stephen King. It's a great novella that also happens to be a well-below average mini-series. The boys are joined by actor Noah Segan to dive into both the written text and the crappy movie with CGI meatballs in it.

Bryan Fuller leads this discussion about one of the most important books in King's bibliography. From Vampires to queer coding in classic Universal monster movies to small town serial killers, this conversation is all over the map.

Seth Grahame-Smith is a screenwriter and producer who helped bring It: Chapters 1 and 2 to the big screen and also very nearly made an Eyes of the Dragon series on Hulu. In this episode he tells us all about the project that almost was. 

The star of The Mist, 1922 and Dreamcatcher opens up about his work on King adaptations all while smoking a pipe and going back and forth with his girlfriend, Anne Heche. This one's wild, y'all. 

April Wolfe comes on the show to take a peek behind the rows at what Malachai and the Boys are up to back there. 

Would you kill Baby Hitler? How often would you use psychic powers if you had them? What famous director did young Alex Winter corner on the street to geek out with over the work of David Cronenberg? All these questions and more are answered in today's episode of 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? All that and more can be found in this episode.

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.
