Stephen Kingcast

Since the release of my original review of 1987's The Running Man, a lot has happened in our world and in our governmental system. In this re-release, I touch upon the ways that this movie succeeded where its more recent counterpart (Edgar Wright's version) failed.

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.

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.  Please write into stephenkingcast@yahoo.com   

Welcome back to another episode of the Stephen Kingcast. I touch upon the final two episodes of the first season of the smash hit, It: Welcome To Derry. There's a lot to discuss, so buckle up and dive in. 

In this episode, I discuss the pop cultural impact that Rob Reiner had on the audience perception of Stephen King along with a review of his 1986 classic, Stand By Me. 

We contain multitudes. It's a beautiful message, wonderfully explored by Mike Flanagan in his latest adaptation of a King story. For all of my thoughts, enjoy this episode and please write into stephenkingcast@yahoo.com to share all of yours.
